I know we prob won't get him, but getting one of Bedard, Michkov, Fantelli, Carlsson is hella nice. I wouldn’t have pegged you as someone who thinks we should tank for Bedard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not quite a bust yet but if we had 1 more L we couldve had Zegras instead of Pod. Oh wells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wells Zegras! is he the most selfish softeroo player and n the league? No team relying on that guy will even make the playoffs. Zegras is a joke. I’d rather have the pipsqueak Caufield. Small, slow, and scared is better than .zegras. I’m sure I could even beat up that piece punkeroo. He’d likely pee himself and cry though. Such a punkeroo.

It's all about feel good moments with the so called "fans" here. Logic and sound arguments have no place here sir. I must ask you to leave at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) I'd rather be a seller than continue our historical tendency of holding on to players too long, or letting them walk for nothing. There's turnover with every team in the league every single season, getting so attached to your players that you're unwilling to move them is a sentimental luxury hockey management cannot afford. That's something fans can do. We can go around in circles as to what would improve this team but in the end other teams are going to be asking about the players that fans likely don't want to move. They won't be lining up to ask about Pearson, Myers, and so on, they'll be asking about guys like Horvat, Demko, Miller, Kuzmenko, Mikheyev, Pettersson, Podz, and Hughes. Or maybe they'll poke at Boeser or Garland and try to buy low. Edited December 5, 2022 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleysteamersmyl Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I hate to say it, Meyers need to attend a hockey school in the summer to improve his shot and skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams sell every year, if we're out of it we should be sellers too. We are not gonna be out. Here is my prediction on what's going to happen at season's end. • Canucks misses the playoffs and are 3-5 points away from the last wild card spot. • JR and Alvin declares that we have a good team bc we were only 3-5 points away from playoffs (LOL) • Bo Horvat walks for free and signs with another team b/c of our desperate attempt to chase the playoffs • Due to losing Bo, we sign Kuzmenko to a 5x6 million dollar contract.

Googlie Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Changing the topic, Abby are dominating Laval 5-2 (Podz with a goal, Wolanin 3 assists) with 1/2 the third period to go Laval scored as I was typing ... now 5-3 Edited December 5, 2022 by Googlie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get him, once Rutherford realizes the only reason he won cups in Pittsburg was because of his two 1st overalls and two 2nd overalls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to re-sign him I have no faith in our management, fact is, they scare me. But I am grateful that Stawns isn’t one of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh, it'd be very Canucks but I don't think they'll go beyond the deadline with Bo unsigned. I think he'll be moved in January or February, possibly even next month but I'd be surprised. Management can't afford to lose him for nothing, it'd be devastating to our future ability to compete and to our ability to build. I wouldn't be surprised to see us pick 9-15 though, I'm sure some folks would much rather end up in no man's land. I'd personally flip Kuzmenko to a contender if we're out of it. We'd get a huge haul for him, any team could fit his cap hit in pretty easily. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Aaarghh. - 5-4 with 2:27 left Disallowed.

Listening to Kuz’s agent he is getting absolutely paid or going to a winning team. Could be our second best trading chip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be our second best trading chip. He'll be 27 in February, he's riding shotgun with likely the most talented center he's ever played with and piling up points, if things continue as they have this season will result in what'll likely be Kuzmenko's greatest single opportunity to cash in on a big money/longer-term contract. I wouldn't expect any discount. I've seen some folks argue the opposite but I'm not comfortable throwing huge money and term at a guy with one NHL season to his name.
