Canuckfanforlife82 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Where are all those people after the Hronek deal who said lets just see what they do after this trade? I feel so much closer to a playoff position right now. Edited March 3, 2023 by Canuckfanforlife82 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I really don't think there's going to be any more trades. Especially blockbuster deals. I'm wondering if the ask was too much, or just no teams can take on cap. Or feel our players are worth taking on cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always feels like we are the team who has players nobody wants or teams want to give us the worst return back because they know they can outwait us. I am just waiting to hear all the crap that management tries to spin especially when it comes to getting more cap space. All these promises and nothing has come of it.

EP Phone Home Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 30 minutes ago, kodos said: Yeah. The real issue is how glaringly obvious of a mistake this is. It’s egregious. It’s absolutely exhausting the refusal of not rebuilding the team as every single team has to go through it. We needed to do it in 2018. Canucks legend Linden left this franchise because ownership refuses to build the team like Detroit is doing,LA, Chigago, Minny,San Jose,Washington and Nashville. It’s super bleak and I’m just about done giving this team anymore of my time (money is a given) nothing is going to change until Aquilini accepts a rebuild or sells the team. People can flame me all they want and try and say that the retool on the fly method works. How have the last 9 seasons worked out? If we just went with lindens plan, we would most likely be out of it right about now. I will bet that most of the teams I said above will be ahead of us in the standings. NYR Devils and Minny already are when they started rebuilding in and around 2018 when linden was requesting ownership for a rebuild. It’s absolutely maddening to keep supporting this mandate of “retool on the fly” I can get behind a proper plan, but this whole run it back to be competitive and make the playoffs makes me numb and apathetic as it is with other fans. Very close to taking a longtime break. I’m not switching teams but switching my time management. A few playoff birth appearances doesn’t equate to a cup victory as some posters believe it is. So done Kodos. This is a toxic relationship/ drug. I need to go to rehab and seek help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I have a feeling there may be a fairly huge trade in the works moving out 2-3 roster players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it's all they want just to put money into their pockets. Sickens me really. No aspirations to get a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So done Kodos. This is a toxic relationship/ drug. I need to go to rehab and seek help. This time really is different though, we have 2 franchise players and a potential top 10 goaltender hitting their primes, and its not fair to judge this management team against the mistake of the past regime. This management team has not traded our first round pick, like Benning did. Instead, with some maneuvering, they exchanged an expiring UFA Bo for a top-four RHD, and has been excellent at acquiring cheap or free quality assets (Filip Johansson, Kravtsov, Bear, Kuzmenko, Mikheyev). This is the best performed retool on the fly Ive seen so far. They got a good prospect for.. Riley Stillman? They got a pick for Lazar who they picked up for free as a UFA. They are managing assets extremely well. Was the 1st + 2nd an overpayment for Hronek? Maybe, it remains to be seen. But we cant judge that until we see him play. 1 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a great analysis, and you hit it on the head with your first sentence. You want to appease your franchise players, not all the fans. You want to keep them, they don't want to rebuild. If the retool does not work , they will be offloaded....for a lot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
