VforVasili Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Lol this thread just came up in the recent discussions when I opened the Trades forum but my browser cut it off as: "Canucks re-sign Mi..." Naturally I thought OMG Miller has been re-signed! Nope. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way we did it in Vancouver in the 70's and we were working at a union-scale (IWA) sawmill. Made some friends, who were all renting apartments in the West End and got together and rented a house in East Van. (Then it was, cash your cheque, pay your rent, put the rest in the wallet and party on! Broke 'til next payday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm slowly improving and trying to re-invent myself but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I did get some (limited choice) approved funding for school so I'm taking a secondary education parts management course starting at the end of August. I missed out on web design as it was full unfortunately, but I am looking forward to school again. It's kind of a backwards situation but I'm limited to making $6100 gross per year by the government or I lose that limited funding I do have. I have done a couple of painting side jobs for a friend ($12 an hour lol) and I've made about $700 which has at least allowed me to have a little fun with friends this summer. Thanks for asking!

No problem Gawd. I have owned a half dozen businesses and most of them have been run from sitting at a desk for the most part. I have also been a business analyst and consultant for over 40 years (now retired and working as a CDC punching bag). If you need a leg up, perhaps I can help; I'm not looking for any money here; just understand your predicament (perhaps). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Really hoping we find DiPietro an NHL team that has a spot open on their AHL club. It would suck to have a logjam in net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I just don’t see any reasonable way they can bring MD back tbh. They essentially stalled his development. His agent is absolutely right. Did he grab the reigns when he needed to? No. But I definitely think he just needs a fresh start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 Quote Agent Darren Ferris has permission from the Canucks to talk with teams about a trade for his client and goalie Michael DiPietro. 1 source said there is interest and a there is a deal that could make sense for the Canucks. As of now, it does not sound like DiPietro will sign in Europe, the desire is still to be moved by the Canucks. https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ss3v49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Unfortunate how the Canucks handled DiPietro's development. I think he could still be decent depth for any organization in goal. Not sure if he would be a consistent NHL backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Just now, wallstreetamigo said: I would do that provided it’s not a really high pick. Dipietro is now 23, a 3rd round pick that has actually regressed and only played 76 games over the last three seasons. He is also short which doesn't scream potential in a days of large goalies. Does he have any value at all? Like even a 7th rounder? I have a hard time seeing a team give up anything for him. I guess from an optics standpoint it looks better to acquire a player like "Dipietro + 3rd round pick" looks better than a 3rd round pick by itself.

He really probably only has value as an optics add in like you suggest. Unfortunately for us due to bungling his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Dipietro and Woo need to put in a really good camp. They gotta show their worth over those younger, and those newer to the team than them. Woo could bring a sturdy truculence that many of our young RD prospects cannot, for example. Dipietro needs to come a long way back to form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Lundqvist is 22 and already refusing to attend training camp unless he’s traded. Both have little value right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
