All 26 or younger as of July 1, 2014. That pretty much summarizes the point I was making. Every team has good players, it's the decision of a gm to decide who to keep and who to trade for maximum value to further strengthen the team. I believe sakic did just that and turned his team around once he took over. Not just for short term, but long term and already won the cup. The Canucks have Demko, Hughes, Petey, horvat, etc. Do you think alvin or even the fanbase have the balls to trade some of them for max value and capitalizing on the returns they get from them and turning this team into a long term contender? Highly doubt it. We'd want to keep most of the core and hope to find players to compliment them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of those names were moved on from before Colorado won the cup. Seems like savvy GMing. Please make your point again as I am too stupid to understand it as you have thus far laid it out. Yes, some were traded. You could say that Colorado was fortunate to have such valuable pieces to trade in the first place. If someone inherits 900k and then eventually turns it into a million, are they totally self-made? Finally, I am not suggesting Sakic did not do a good job; I am saying that he was very fortunate to have the pieces he started off with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very favourable position that provides many attractive options. What did he really have left to do? Build a left side of the defense and add some depth. What about that touches a nerve? It isn't even a criticism; it's an observation. Edited October 12, 2022 by BlastPast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fecklund Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This is hilarious, honestly. Before she was even hired she went on that podcast and ripped the organization, as well as several of our star players (including Miller and Peety). She's a bratty, loud mouthed, snot nosed know-it-all who's now crying foul. They obviously just hired her "on reputation" and didn't bother to look into what that entire reputation entailed.Castonguay and Granato are legit professional NHL hires, but this twattwaffle was a huge fail and they only have themselves to blame. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 13 hours ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: She isn’t a longtime employee so the bar is pretty low for her employer to be able to let her go for any reason unless she had a contract that said otherwise. We have without cause dismissal in BC so your employer has the right to let you go for no reason. You just get notice or severance. She can probably sue for more than the minimum severance (one week of pay for under 12 months service) as she did relocate to take the job and left another job to do it… likely not for more money than what the lawyer is going to cost her. I wouldn’t read anything nefarious into it without other info. If she is arguing she was let go on discriminatory grounds or they didn’t uphold their contract, that might be a little more interesting. Her Mom’s comments seem to hint at some malfeasance by the Canucks but a mom being mad her kid got fired isn’t a lot to go on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrago Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I can imagine getting fired after 8 months isn't going to help your career, but I think suing your past employer isn't going to help you in that regard the hockey world is a pretty small place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
