Goal:thecup Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Can you imagine, let alone remember, back in the day when the Griffiths family was getting tapped out on the Canucks, if we had said we were going to play at UBC War Memorial and dump any players that cost us real cash, we weren't really interested in competing? They would have pulled our franchise. These guys get coddled and abetted in making a mockery of the best pro hockey league in the world. Pull their franchise now. And move the team to ________fill in your favorite here_________ and play pro hockey! (Not in the school gym.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player, but isnt he yet to show consistency? this trade doesn't make sense. Who would we be sending for a young defenseman like him? Brock? Do the Coyotes even want to take on his QO?

Vancouver can't support a franchise, all it will take is a phone call. Yet, that $&!#hou** organization gets money, support (not from real fans) and Bettman's endorsement throughout each and every firestorm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, a left side of Chychrun, Hughes and OEL is about as good of a left side as a team can get, but unless someone is playing their off side, I don't see how we can justify using any one of those guys as a third pairing D, especially at their salaries. Maybe thats the problem. Try not looking at it as 1st - 3rd pairings and try another approach of balanced, equitable TOI lines on D. If we begin this retooling by shoring up the offense from D, we then focus part of our other trade assets to pick up the R side shut down Dmen we need. this D needs an overhaul regardless. we have some contracts that are hard to move, and also use significant cap space, so if we are retaining these guys, let’s use them effictively. So what if the money spent on the back end is high…if it becomes arguably one of the top 5 d corps in the league then it’s absolutely worth it. Imagine Demko with a formidable, balanced D in front of him. Edited February 23, 2022 by RWJC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they trying to trade a 23 year old top 2 D coming off a career year. What a disaster of a hockey market, pretty crazy there is no hockey in places like Quebec coz they are probably trying to pay as little as possible in terms of actual money while reaching the cap floor while they wait for a deal/arena in tempe and stock up on draft/capital that'll be ready in maybe 4-5 years when the arena is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 We literally can't afford him. We don't need much in the way of LHD even if he is decent and cost controlled. It's almost a non starter because what they'd ask for we can't spend. 1st, 2nd. Klimovich. Podkolzin. Hoglander. Boeser without a contract isn't happening. Our European prospects.... Almost any of the other teams rumoured in on him can cough up more. Sorry all. It's a nice dream but... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
