Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Yeah, wasn’t calling you asinine. I saw it was a writer from another blog. While I haven't yet had enough time to complete an exhaustive reading to ensure the below proposed transaction would be in compliance with the provisions of the CBA, it would seem there was a way around getting hit with Luon...

Thank God cap space doesn't matter in a rebuild.

Hence, no need to blame anyone for anything.

Not sure how Gillis should be blamed for outsmarting the rulemakers.

Yeah, I think Jimbo made a new best friend.

Touché. I should have known.

... You can make the argument this isn't the right time to start supplementing the core, you can make the argument that this isn't the right use of the resources, you can make the argument that Miller isn't worth a 1st and a 3rd to the Canucks. But the argument that the Canucks had leverage over th...

To be honest, I am excited again, I hope we do sign a FA D and move forward. Frack next years 1st round pick, frack 2021 1st round pick, both will be in the 20 - 31 spot. Brock Boeser was a 23rd. Jared McCann was a 24th. So you think JB is likely to regress in his drafting instead of continue impro...

Apparently, although both of you think JB is a genius, neither of you have as much faith in JB's drafting as I do, because I see it as at least probable that a first round pick by JB (at this point) ends up being substantially better than Miller. It's a lottery-protected pick, so somewhere in Boese...

Go home Blob, you're drunk... I am home. Sounds like Elmer drank as much as we did this weekend. As if, he was the most articulate gm there , did you listen to ray Shero? He sounded like an idiot. https://media0.giphy.com/media/10JhviFuU2gWD6/giphy.webp?cid=790b76115d105006782f51467339966a&rid=giph...

Hayes will make $7.14M until he's 34, Miller will make $5.25M until he's 30. Two other teams offered the same trade Canucks did (allegedly). Blob will piss and moan forever... Blob is trolling as per usual. It’s a lame comparison, but hey let him play in that sandbox for awhile. So blob prefers the...

those firsts area not guaranteed good NHL level players. J.T. Miller is a “player” and is “worth” a first, he’s guaranteed. He’s young, signed on a good contract with term. Exactly. Neither is it guaranteed that Miller won't regress or get injured. Nothing is guaranteed. Apparently, although both o...

Thanks for the excellent summary, Corn. :thumbs: With respect to the draft: I very much like both the Podkolzin and Hoglander picks. Podlokin seems well worth the (Russian) risk with his combination of skill, size and aggression. Like many have said, two years is likely what we would have to wait wi...

What gets lost in this is that there is a difference in a cap dump, Marleau, and in making a hockey trade to move cap, Miller. Yes Tampa needed to move cap but they knew the had Callahan coming off the books so that took a lot of pressure off to just dump a player. And yes, there were a few other t...

With Callahan on permanent LTIR, Tampa isn't up against the cap like everyone seems to think. Brisebois seemed to think they were "up against the cap" and made the move to clear cap space: "Eventually we were going to have to unload some players and unfortunately today was one of those days. We had...

JT Miller 3 goals in 61 playoff games How many assists? This chat is embarrassing. Throwing a defense man under the bus before he gets here because we gave up our first round pick in one of two years of which we will not be a lottery team and even if we were, we'd lose as always and might I just fu...
