But I guess some people get more energy from always looking for the downside. It is what it is. Ultimately, it's their loss, and definitely not a good way to go through life. Hope that helps them. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another in a series of pretty "meh" moves that don't actually address the major roster issues though... Still applying band aids instead of ripping them off... Yeah trade should be okay for Van. Low risk for both teams. But I agree a bigger move is needed. Trade Miller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Loui react was a fitting tribute to a Canuck legend, he's right up there with other players who've gotten reacts in Burrows, the Sedin's, Pettersson, and Hughes. It's honestly a travesty that he wasn't brought back as PK depth, he was a free agent this summer. I miss the Loui react, and I miss Loui.

Hope he finds some chemistry with huggy when he’s back and we can shove it down the negative Nancy’s Throats The Gillis's regime told us they were going to be aggressive in the chase for the cup; the Benning regime told us they would re-tool and build through the draft but proceeded to trade countless draft picks; Rutherford/Allvin regime told us that they were not in a position to trade draft picks, yet here we are. It's to cumulative aspect that fans are upset about not so much the individual trades at the time. Also, the seeming unwillingness to trade assets at the deadline/draft to accumulate more picks.

VforVasili Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 CDC trolls: Our management are imbeciles and should all be fired! They have brains the size of peanuts and tiny tiny man parts! Our team is literally human fecal matter set on fire! CDC: yeah what you are saying is ill-informed and also completely over the top. Please stop. CDC troll 2: So we aren’t allowed to say we disagree! Freedom! I can’t say what I want? Freeeeedom! tldr: you reap what you sow. 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets wait and see what they do for the whole season before grading them on how they handle draft picks Remember they can still move players out to get picks. If we're in a position to miss the playoffs by the TDL, guarantee you'll see us finish the year with a fat stack of 2023 picks. All in all, a 5th rounder is not hard to recoup (motte on a rental, when we had no intention of re-signing him netted us a 4th rounder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 2 hours ago, Coconuts said: Couldn't get into their lineup over Chatfield, hasn't played at all this season. We didn't really give up much so I suppose it's fair I'm not expecting much. Speaks more to the state of our defense than anything. Wonder how they'll approach his qualifying offer at the end of the season but I suppose we could just let him walk. We've already got one 3D at 2.5M who may or may not play, now we've got one who's qualifying offer is 2.2M. it's really not that complicated. if he earns his qo, qualify him. if he doesn't but you still want him, offer him less. if he doesn't take it, let him walk. who cares? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Baggins Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 56 minutes ago, AV. said: Who's bitching? The majority of the complaints are from the individuals who don't want to see the justified criticism stemming from this move. They feel the need to mindless protect the team, as per. The truth is, Canucks shouldn't be dealing picks, nor is Ethan Baer fixing anything in the grand scheme of things. These are just facts and the people pointing this out and discussing this aren't bitching, or trolling, or whatever buzzword. Hope this helps. It's a freakin' 5th round pick. We miss the playoffs and Bear could be moved at the deadline to recoup, or possibly even improve on that pick with further retained salary. He works out and it's an absolute win for a 5th rounder. I don't see the downside here. There isn't a single 5th round pick from 5 years ago (2017) with 80 NHL games played and only 3 with 40+ games. The world has come to an end! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
