A Canadian team was gifted a final 4 spot and they got to play Toronto round one. Found a lowkey Habs supporter lol Wasn’t this year. So it was last year. And sure. Fluked. If you say so.

Nobody thought much of Vegas missing last year and Calgary will need to find chemistry amongst all the changes. Now I do think laden and huberdeau are better 2 way players than the two that left so they are probably second favourite in the division after Edmonton if not #1.

Lol, Cup final to last in the league, Prior to that was also trash. How do you figure they just became a top team for one shortened season? Where they only played Canadian teams?

I forgot Gorton was there. I was wondering why they made this smart move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t been a never ending rebuild. Losing Price and Weber in one year (plus setting an nhl record for man games lost) really hurt them. They aren’t going to be good for the next few years after legitimately stating the rebuild at the trade deadline. But they’re not perennial tankers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a bubble fluke, so many things broke their way out of their control. Once they hit a healthy team they got steamrolled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 2 hours ago, Master Mind said: I'd be surprised if Calgary gets back anything of value. I'd think they'll need to pay to offload him. Absolutely right. After two serious hip surgeries it is unlikely that Monahan will ever be anything more than bottom-6 forward, as he was when healthy last year. And he could easily be worse than that, if he is even ready to play when the season begins. If Montreal does get a first round pick for just one year of absorbing Monahan's cap hit, however, that is a pretty good deal for them given where they are in their cycle. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My statement that giving up good players to get better, and the implication that Vancouver hasnt figured this out yet, does track. given the context that Calgary gave up a good player (Monahan, and a 1st) in order to get even better (Kadri).

Every single piece gone now. Let's just hope we can't say the same ... as in "amazing to think, EP, Miller and Brock used to our Lotto line" and now they are all gone. My bet - is that 2/3 of that crew will be gone within 2 years....all 3 well balls. Edited August 18, 2022 by IBatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how canucks fans just automatically say things like "Monahan isn't a good player". In comparison to who? Wayne Gretzky? Miller? Ovechkin? sure yeah he's trash. But of course he's a good player. Yes calgary had to use a late first to move him, but they are moving his salary in order to sign a more desirable player. So really your statement is incorrect. If you said Monahan is a good player, but in order to sign a better player they needed to move his salary, and in todays NHL that costs a first. Then we are in agreement. (Although I still stand by my statement that the Canucks could learn a thing or two here.) By your logic, Pacioretty is no good because he was a dump, however he is good. Vegas just valued Eichel more. You see where I'm going with this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
