Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries) 23-24

Was there an uproar over dealing Forsling? No. That's all that was needed to be said... As for his WJ tournament, I don't think anyone can honestly say that they saw how his game would develop and translate to the North American style watching him in that tournament, certainly not Vancouver and Car...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries) 23-24

FLA resign Gustav Forsling 8x5.75/per This to me was always Jim Bennings biggest, most egregious fuckup. It was blatantly obvious right from the exact second he flushed the very obvious premium asset for minor league trash. lol, what a bunch of bull crap... Unless you want us to believe that you th...

Re: Canucks Young Guns

Bains might be one of those guys who's just an AHL star but can't take the next step. He doesn't have a lot of power in his stride and he doesn't really have a shot. He's a playmaker off the wing and a hard working, heady two way player. Megs, I was wondering what your thoughts were on Bains and ag...

I wanted to pick Hoglander because he's one of my favorites, but went Joshua because I thought his impact on the games was the greatest of the choices...

Take care..

Re: Canucks Young Guns

Is Raty, Allvin’s Gaunce? Not looking good. All is too quiet on the Raty front. Raty is ready for a call up in my opinon but given the health of the forward group, knock knock, and the fact that the team won't resign everyone this off season it makes sense to let him perculate in Abbotsford... Most...

Re: Canucks Young Guns

Not sure about that, from what I've read the 30 day, 10 game rule applies... Sorry, you're right and that's because, as I mentioned above, Woo cleared waivers in October . DUH DOC I got all caught up in the emergency recall rules because at first I thought maybe that's what baldies were up to... No...

Re: Canucks Young Guns

Wasn't time to bring in a spare D when Zed was suspended and Friedman pressed into action. My guess, Woo rides the Chicago pressbox pine and comes back home to Abby. If he clears waivers..... Maybe he is being showcased for a trade. Lets start the rumour. If he stays less than 30 days and plays les...

Re: From Bountiful to Ponoka

Favourite comment from Bountiful on the trade Kuzmenko better leave the zippers on the bag as they are. We don’t accept anti-LGBT people in Calgary and that’s that. https://forum.calgarypuck.com/showpost.php?p=8969955&postcount=373 Will be interesting to see what the Flames get when they flip him n...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 23-24 Dedicated to SKYO

It will be interesting if the EP talks start to get serious now that the team has another UFA, an All Star and a Swede to boot and his reluctance to start negotiating until after the season is hampering the teams ability to do its business.... Take care... Lindholm has been a 1.0 ppg player only a ...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 23-24 Dedicated to SKYO

What I see is: A late 1st round pick in a so/so draft year Kuzy: A salary dump for next year. HUGE!!! 2 third round picks and a conditional 4th round pick. For the best player in the trade and a Swiss Army Knife!!! Canucks get better, get rid of Kuzy and hopefully don't give up too much in the futu...

Re: Elias Pettersson is Vancouver's most overrated player

Bump So what are you offering him when it's time to sit down at the bargaining table this summer? 12 x 8 I wonder how much influence his agent and the NHLPA will have over his contract demands?... Part of me hopes that will "take one for the team", understanding that a home run will negatively infl...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries) 23-24

@UQSaint @Rikster My interest in this is that with an outhouse fire such as the one in Columbus sometimes comes intriguing rescue opportunities. If this player does eventually become available I would think a lot of teams will be in the queue for his services. He does seem a little full of himself ...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries) 23-24

Sounds like young David Jiricek is already tired of the outhouse fire in Columbus. Sounds like young David Jiricek is young. Having confidence and taking and applying constructive and sometimes negative feedback are both required to maximize potential. But these attributes are in tension and the ab...
