Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Alain Vigneault has retired apparently - coached some really competitive teams here, goes down as our very best so far. I haven't been alive as long as some of you, but is it true - Van has only had five coaches with winning records at the end of their tenure?? (One of them being Torts, who was onl...

Re: RIP SKYO

I think my brother who introduced me to the old Central may have known Skyo irl What handle did your brother use? And while I have your attention... Why are you posting less these days brother? I think you've asked me before, but I'm not sure if my brother ever posted or just lurked. He went to hig...

Re: RIP SKYO

This really sucks. Was waiting for some of his far out trade proposals before the draft. Going to miss his passion for this team. Ideals, Carl. Always it was trade ideals. And on the goddam hockey talk message board with a pedantic, cutthroat user base, Skyo was so well liked that nobody corrected ...

I just popped in to see if the Dude noticed Jamie "Shadow of his Former Self" led the Stars to an 0-4 record in the games he suited up for.

Re: Out of Town Scores - 2022-23

You understand the “retool” now? What took you so long? What makes you think the best players have ever embraced a rebuild? As far as I know no professional hockey player supports a tank rebuild. Why would they? Losing isn’t fun. I guess its different when its a wrinkly hand at the wheel of the re-...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Just saw a report from Rick Dhaliwal that Tanner Pearson will most likely have another surgery in the off season, damn. They said he has a picc line, which usually means he has a terrible, terrible infection and needs IV antibiotics. It must be fucking disgusting. Dhaliwal is placing the blame on t...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

I don't see OEL's contract as the problem, because there's no cheaper LD who can take his spot. Sure, maybe he's over paid by $3mil. But getting that equivalently-skilled LD is going to cost a 1st+ and be at least $4m without term. Once you replace the player, and account for the buyout, there's pro...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

With Nico Hischier signing an 8 year deal for 7.25 million annual cap hit, :eh: 10 million per for both of EP and Huggy might be a low estimate. People thinking they will sign for 8 or 9 are likely out to lunch. That is a terrible deal - 21, never even sniffed 60 points. I think that's another piec...
