Seeing ppl one up each other on Makar hype Hype? Makar has a Calder, Norris, Conn Smythe and Stanley cup at 23. He is PPG+ in the regular season and playoffs. Honest question, who do you take over him starting an NHL team from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two first round picks last year, two seconds, two thirds. Hell, even two sevenths. Two firsts again this year, three fourths, two fifths. Two firsts in 2025. They really unloaded, retained cap to get higher value back too. Not only do they have youth on the roster, their prospect pool is gonna be deeeep. 9 minutes ago, Alflives said: Think our owner reads these threads? Because he needs to hear what you’re saying.

Coconuts Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Oh, don't forget the 1st they got for Romanov and flipped for Dach. Imagine having, let alone being able to flip, a Romanov.

Especially when you consider them being faced with losing Shay Weber and Carey Price. They appeared doomed, started trading players. Sure they got the first (Slafkovsky), but they're young, the forwards are fast and the D is big and nasty. And they're all buying in to the plan, under Marty St. Louis. MTL had 11 Draft picks last year, and in 2023 they'll have 11 more. The Canucks had 6 last year and will have 6 more in 2023. How can they keep up? Canucks keep hanging onto older players, not willing to let them go, or else they give away draft picks to get rid of players. So backwards. That's the thing, people want homeruns, they want to trade Boeser but that's not realistic. You have to start with a philosophy, whether that's acquiring 2nd round picks where possible or what not. If that's Garland so be it. They all add up and give you more chances than doing the opposite and giving them away. The NHL is that tight you can't afford to cheat all the time and expect to be rewarded for it. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's terrified of losing fans/profit by declaring a 'rebuild'. If people stopped supporting this perennial quest for utter mediocrity that has been the past 10 years, maybe he'd realize there's nothing to lose by actually rebuilding the right way? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vancan2233 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 2 hours ago, BCNate said: Rathbone has played 6 games this year. At my count 5 goals have been a direct result of his play. I don't mean that in the sense of him getting beat by a nice move or shot, but directly turning over the puck, or being so far out of position it caused the goal. He is almost directly costing us a goal a game, and is only playing 15 minutes a night. The fact that you can do that for a few others does not justify Rathbone's play. He needs to spend some time in the AHL learning how to defend, because he is not good enough offensively for that to be his only ticket. He needs to adjust to he NHL pace, going back down to the AHL will not help his development. His play in the AHL is at a point a game, he clearly able to play at that pace. He needs NHL games to learn that pace of players being faster at everything. Six (total of 23) games is hardly a fair time frame for him to be judged, especially when the team is sucking.

I don't think boeser is as unrealistic ad we think. He's only got two more years after this and he still puts up points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
