You know what I mean. I'm not talking about burying contracts. Waivers etc. I'm talking about overall cap space on a day like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just park this thread in your back pocket and we'll discuss this again next year when reality sets in. My money says those two alone will eat-up 17-18% of our cap if they play up to expectations and are resigned. Pastrnak just signed for $11.2M so EP40 will very likely get at least that in his new contract. Believe me it ain't as silly as you'd think! Time will tell......... You'll just move the goal posts and find something else to whine about. This is literally a nothingburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll trade it for a 6th or 7th and a bag of pucks as long as the pucks have a NHL logo! Would I put it past our new idiots in management? No it wouldn't surprise me at all..

Sadly this so called retool that currently leaves us over the cap and with depleted draft capital will IMO cause us to once again simply play around the fringes of this roster once again, just like the previous management. How would it be about cap when it would be fully buried in the AHL. It's not about cap. It's about getting draft capital for a nothing player.

Can’t argue that point. we need overhaul on the backend and that has started. Let’s see what we have as a roster come camp. If next year proves to be as abysmal, then there should be real discussion about what an EP or QH or both might fetch us. still too early to judge what this team can pull off with a whole offseason to work around. We need a overhaul alright, from Owner down to coach as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you will need to say with 100% certainty this this unknown player will be a 0.5ppg producing RHD. Won't get injured, will have perfect development etc. Because management can't predict the future any more than you can, THATs why they got Hronek. A bird in the hand and all that. I tend to agree, no RHD in the 1st round that were very interesting. Centre is another story, hopefully the lottery gods are with us...would be great to add Fantilli behind EP.

Not everyone you bring in is going to work. You don’t understand that, Nostradamus? Oh I know especially when you can’t or refuse to draft and develop. funny they’re will to “try” a player but afraid to “try” to draft. pretty tough to build depth and assets when all you do is trade picks because that’s the only tradable asset the team has. actuality it’s the proven path to what we are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Twitter is wild. So many canucks fans are trying to say they should have just put him on waivers.

ronthecivil Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 10 minutes ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: This organization feels likes they purposely do the opposite of every other team and that they could care less it if works just as long as they are different with no real purpose as to why they do things that are puzzling. It feels more like "hey we did something different than everyone else and that makes us special." It just means your really really foolish and bring the problems that come along with that thinking on yourselves. It feels like an Aquillini issue. Watch how long it takes Detroit to once again to make the playoffs for like forever. Stevey Y is building a deep organisation. Even from a money grubbing perspective, ownership would be wise to accept that kind of idea. Always make the team stronger. Even rich guys fail at math though, it's kind of tragic.

Agree with you there…the importance and quality of drafting has been a major flaw. In terms of rostering though, easy to mock it but signing a UFA and then converting that into a futures asset is a very good move, especially when trying to compensate for the above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I always thought he had lots of potential, he was quick, put in a good effort, was physical at times, seemed motivated, was a good interview, but then... nothing much happened when he was on the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all.. he likes a tougher team but that's where it ends, that's all I have to say that's good about having him. Thought about it more and actually with the bad ownership on down to GM, it doesn't really matter who is coaching actually, you can only do so much as a coach anyway with a bad team. Ours isn't a bad team, it's horrible.. We are so fuc_ed it's ridiculous. Ponder this, Tocchet should want a tougher team and we need one, what does management do, trades away Schenner for a late pick that has about 1 in a thousand chance of making the NHL.. F'n Genius!

Seriously ice, would you swap our complete org of owners/coaches and roster right now with Arizona? They got picksa plenty, and are fatally short of fans.
