Definitely not enough to get it done given the start Bo has had but it’s not insulting. I actually think if they went 8x6.875 for a total of 55 they might get it done.

hammertime Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I still dont think Bo is going anywhere. I have spats with my bosses all the time I know I could get another job tomorrow but I'm still here because it's my team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I thought i wanted to keep the core I have changed my mind since I would rather trade than try to keep the same exact players while we have been at the bottom Everyone should be tradeable for the right price, I see a few younger ones to retain Management knows the players commitment and I hope the right choices are made 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolexSub Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 If they want to change the make of this team including having a new Captain leader now is the time to do it!! We either make the changes trading BO or we sign him for the long haul and continue what we have been dealing with in the last 5-6yrs of crappy hockey in Vancouver!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lalji is, has been, and always will be full of shit. Edited December 14, 2022 by PhillipBlunt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think is going to happen when Bo leaves? Who takes up that role of a top faceoff guy? And he's not tops on the team, he's an elite level f/o in the league, the world.........who's going to take up that task in Vancouver after he's gone? Horvat is one of three reasons why this team has even been close to a playoff team. When he's gone, they're in big trouble 8 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat is one of three reasons why this team has even been close to a playoff team. When he's gone, they're in big trouble ya i think too much focus last season is who's gonna replace miller's point etc etc etc.. i mean look at it this way.. the player you bring in is going to replace a good portion of it let's just say 60-70 points in a top line setting.. that just leaves the rest of the team 11 other forwards to chip in with like 3 extra points per person.. not that unreasonable.. meanwhile faceoff.. bo is on pace for 1700-1800 faceoff a season.. let say u replace it with a 1000 faceoff guy.. ok.. so where does the other 700-800 go? the other center? so that means putting out say EP in more defensive draws when we want him in the offensive zone more? or starting the 4th line center more than what we want him to start? having bo reliably out there for all situational faceoff have a cascading effect on the rest of the lines 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat is one of three reasons why this team has even been close to a playoff team. When he's gone, they're in big trouble If we trade Bo, it needs to be a full rebuild. Moving him this year for futures could very well cause us to bottom out enough to get one of the top 3 picks in the draft. You don't trade a guy like that and expect to be better over the short term. Personally, I'd rather a full rebuild than continue with what's been happening over the last decade. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we do move Bo, which I seriously doubt because our owner just will not allow that to happen, it will not be for futures. Our owner will not allow that either. If he will approve futures for Bo JR would need to show that those futures were going to quickly be used to bring in guys to help right now. I sure want to be way wrong with my thinking on our owner, but history shows otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat is one of three reasons why this team has even been close to a playoff team. When he's gone, they're in big trouble I dont know if i agree with 'big' trouble depending on the return but it will very likely suck quite bad to lose him. You know I love having 3 centres that can play in the top3. My reason is I believed that faceoffs lead obviously to possession and more time with the puck gives you control of the outcome. However, I cant remember which poster mentioned to me, apparently there are stats that show face off wins dont lead to game wins. Something to do with the parity of the players FO% etc.. .

And the cap likely be over 100mil in 8 years No idea. But then again, I have no idea why they didn't just trade Miller this past spring either. The TDL can't come soon enough. At least we'll start getting some clarity on what is happening with the team and whether I should be sharpening my pitchfork. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd rather a full rebuild than continue with what's been happening over the last decade. Not me, I think there's a good enough core in there to get past this spot, but they'd have to make the right moves around that core. I think they can be a regular playoff team with room to grow. before he was fired JB has a 2-3 timeline to get to that point and JR even agreed. I still think that's a realistic timeline........if they keep Bo and move Miller. This so called full rebuild will another decade of bottom feeding and will most likely see Petey gone and almost surely Demko. I don't want that, I want to see what Petey, Bo and Demko can do in Van, not somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
