Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Jimmy is so good at drafting now that he doesn't need firsts.

...
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 the Bolts is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of multi-lateral markets.

I am a little late to comment on this but, as usual, UWSaint, your posts are very well thought out, balanced and devoid of pejoratives which is a breathe of fresh air.

With respect to your comment regarding “a fundamental misunderstanding of multi-lateral markets”, I would contend that such comment is based on a presupposition (with which I disagree) that other offers available to Tampa did not take into consideration Tampa’s cap situation (i.e. which Brisebois directly admitted was an issue subsequent to the Callahan LTIR revelation). Obviously, if other teams had no cap leverage neither would the Canucks but I haven't seen anything yet that leads me to believe that there was not some level of cap leverage (admittedly not as much as, for example, Toronto, but some nonetheless).

Touché. I should have known.

I wouldn't worry about a few posters here always defending Jimbo. I learned a while ago that they just do it for the sheer entertainment, it has nothing to do with the job they actually think he's doing. Still fun to debate them but don't ever think you'll be able to reason with them no matter what the evidence is.

Hey, I just want to say thank you, it must be exhausting being the only poster with a reasonable point of view. Seriously, bravo, we could all learn so much from you.

Ha - wasn't even talking about you but obviously somebody is quite defensive. I can't wait to hear you defend the upcoming 7 year, $49 million deal for Tyler Myers.

You were saying?

Lol, Benning haters have been ripping on Jimbro for weeks about a contract that never existed in reality...

Hmm that's strange, Diehard was explaining how he's so reasonable, and everybody who disagrees with him is unreasonable...

...But you're saying he was just talking out of his as s and making shit up? That doesn't seem very reasonable, there must be some mistake.

You Jimbros are hilarious - keep it up, it’s very entertaining!

Remember this post when Myers is getting turnstiled next year. I expect the Jimbros on this site to keep defending al Jimbo’s moves as they have always done.

Had a good a laugh at Dallas trolling the Aqualungs by getting, Bob Gaglardi, Tom's dad, to announce their pick........then he fucks up the name and I laughed even harder.

Galardi and Aqua seniors are still good buddies that golf together all the time....but son’s ..no dice.
