Popular Post Steve The Poolman Posted December 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2022 What is going on in this organization? Trade Horvat? to get what? A centerman that can score? That can be effective in the face off circle? Give me a break! He's the best player we have. Don't be stupid Jim! Let's get rid of Boeser or Demko. They have both peaked and are both simply deadwood that is bringing this team down. Also trade Meyers and get some effective defensemen. I would invest in some truckloads of smelly salts because these guys don't seem to give a f*ck about being ready for games and just playing the "get the puck to the center zone" game. Even the players that are changing look like they're coasting to the bench. Bruce start benching players that make idiot mistakes. Let them re-evaluate in the pressbox. Jim and Bruce need to be more aggressive with the players. DON'T PLAY PLAYERS THAT CAN'T CUT IT! Bring up some younger players to try and invigerate some energy. I would sit Boeser, Myers, and any other ineffective players that are lazy or make stupid passes or take ridiculous penalties! 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Strawbone Posted December 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2022 Boeser needs a change of scenery, and does need to go I think. Happy to let Myers go as well for a bag of pucks. No way I'm giving up on Demko this early. He could easily go on to win a cup with another team. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey, Demko, Hughes we build around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Aquaman is the REAL issue; and I agree, with Alf that building around EP & etc, would be a good start. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/569255 Bo's status as a Canuck will depend on the cap; and with hindsight, the short termed JR signing, is looking very similar to the Messier signing. But let's see what happens and hope I am wrong about JRs' hiring. Edited December 14, 2022 by ShawnAntoski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Provost Posted December 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2022 If they let Horvat go and just use the free money to sign Kuzmenko… and do little else, they need to go. If they let Horvat go followed by Boeser, Miller, Pearson, Myers, Poolman, Stillman, Petterson, Hughes, etc and got a bunch of good picks and prospects…. Then they should stay. 1 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely could. He could also be the asset that brings in the pieces we need to become an actual competitive team again. Both scenarios could be possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 When the team is fully healthy we daren't pair Stillman with Poolman.... too easy for refs to give us a "too much man" penalty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 If they get rid of Bo they can bring in more high paid management types who obviously win games for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I hope Boeser, Miller, Garland and Pearson can be moved, then Myers next season at the TDL. Fact of the matter though is that Horvat's likely going (he's the one with value and the team has to lie in the financial bed it's made). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear Bo turned $8 million down, what do you think is fair value for him? Should they just throw whatever he wants at him? 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Poolman Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 I agree with building around Hughes and Petey. Not so much with Demko. I have an uneasy feeling that Demko has gone to the dark, Schneider side. He looks too uncomfortable in the crease like he has concentration problems. Kuzmenko and Martin might also be building pieces of the future. Garland I think can still be an effective player with his speed so I would hold off with him for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve The Poolman Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 To put it in perspective I think Bo is worth more than Miller don't you? Rutherford decisions hmmm?! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying it is or isn't about money, I'm not privy to what's going on. I was asking what the max limit is ?? What's acceptable?. What if its only about money and Bo keeps turning them down?? Then what does management do?? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve The Poolman Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 I think we need to bring back performance bonuses in lieu of higher salaries. If all managements of all the teams go to this method then it could only improve the accountability of the players in this league. There are floaters that sign the big contracts and then coast or check out for a couple of games. Eight, 10, or 12 million dollar contacts should only be acheived with performance bonuses then we can watch how many players take nights off. Just a hought... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
