Management said they need to shed cap but it was "more difficult than we thought". So instead they did just the opposite - added salary.
Nice plan. :(

Re: 2022/23 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

Man, Aqua-man must be feeling pretty good and confident about his direction of his hockey club right now. Lots of top teams got knocked out, it's pretty much wide open and the Cup is open up for grabs for any of the remaining teams. Aqua must be thinking: see, this is proof, fuckin fickle fans and ...

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

Why is the media so hung up on attaching a sweetener to every trade these days? Fuck. Now Saravelli has Garland being traded, only if the Canucks add a sweetener. If a straight up 40 point guy is usually worth a 3rd round pick (or equivalent), why can the Canucks simply accept a lower return like a...

Ah yes, "exploring the market".

Translation: they are finding out how much it's going to cost them (in picks and salary retention) to move guys out.

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Listen I don’t mind Mikheyev and Kuzmenko but were more wingers what this team needed? What was the rush? I thought this was a rebuild? The spending on them doesn’t seem to be well thought out. Especially since we had bigger problems in other areas of the line up How were they acquiring a top 4 D m...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

When it’s nearly impossible making trades in the NHL these days and at not even the half way point of the season the only chain pulling they can do is coach firing but what good is that? Pretty much have to ride this one out and use this time as a “where do we go from here” now that we know what we...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Fuck this team is broken somewhere. This is a management/meddling owner culture issue, not systems from coaches issue. Players are not buying in when they see the management tossing Brucie under the bus every week. it’s pretty obvious. Agreed. How can this continue? It's long past the point where O...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Good first post. Lots in there. To your comments I'll add: Boeser: he has the Canucks over a barrel. He can just accept his QO and hit free agency after that, if the Canucks don't give him what he wants. Quite a conundrum for Canucks. Dickinson: I'm betting he has a resurgence and fills the 3C spot....

Re: The Canucks 2022 Offseason.

So Miller has specific areas he wants to play, meaning a small spectrum off teams in those areas (Pennsylvania) “may” be willing to take the risk on giving up major assets for 1 year of guaranteed service before Miller can sign with whomever where his heart desires, a contract that you say will be ...

He's never been a UFA before, so why would he say anything? Proper roster planning means that the Canucks have to consider what he might want to do when he does become a UFA.

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 20-21-22 Sponsored by SKYO

Not a rumour but an idea floated in the comments section of Wagner: is there merit in peddling the untouchable Quinn to join his bros in Joisey? A ridiculous notion. But if there is emotional/marketing benefit in collecting all the Hugheses maybe NJ could be induced to wildly overpay from a strictl...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 21-22

With the hiring of Cammi Granato will Ray Ferraro suddenly hate the Canucks less? Until Ferraro can pry himself away from the likes of Sekeres, Price, Patterson, Drance etc he will never stop being a Negative Nancy. Too bad, he used to be good, but I will say this, its lookin like Cammi wears the p...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 20-21-22 Sponsored by SKYO

Well whatever is coming won't be boring. We need a who gets traded out first pool. My money is on Miller I don't see why JR would trade our 2nd best player, (1st being Demko), unless he talks to him and he's unreasonable about an extension. Far as I'm concerned, Miller is every bit as important to ...
