Re: Trevor Linden is stepping down in VAN

So what’s the major trade here BOS? He has no assets to move other than Horvat, Petterson, Hughes Boeser or Demko or next years 1st. That’s it. Stay the course and rebuild. Tanev, Edler, Juolevi, and Gaudette are most certainly desirable assets that could be included in a package. Having a gaping w...

Re: Trevor Linden is stepping down in VAN

Benning is/was on board. It will be interesting to see how Benning handles things. Jim could win over the fans, ownership and the players by swinging for the fences and improving the team for both the short and long term. In four plus years on the job, Jim has yet to make a major trade. Every GM ma...

Re: Trevor Linden is stepping down in VAN

I am really curious to see who gets brought in. Could it be someone with clout? A new name? Or simply a re-shifting of the powers?

I mean really, aside from back-up Gov for Fran at the odd league meeting, what were his duties? (Powers?)

Interesting times await.

Re: Canucks Young Guns

In: Petersson, Gaudette, Goldobin, Hughes One of these things is not like the others: elite, elite, crap, elite. Just because Botchford sings Goldobin’s praises at every opportunity doesn’t mean he is no longer a bubble player at best. The guy is carried by Virtanen in garbage games at the end of l...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Pedan is a fairly tough fucker who wouldn’t ever back down. Good mobility, but not good enough laterally to compete in today’s NHL. Decent puck moving skills, but again, not quick enough. A bubble NHL dman... perhaps a decade too late tho.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

I too think this is a good deal for Calgary. EL was a top 5 pick and can play both centre and wing. Hamilton was dealt outta Boston for a reason, and now he's been dumped by Calgary. Hanifin > Hamilton.

But it's good to hear the Cow fans are shittin. :devil:

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

At this stage, I’ll take Jake at half that for the next two years over Domi and that contract.

I don’t think Bergevin has much more time.
