We have an "ignore" feature.....you're a mod, you should know this. :P

Only time I see his posts are in other people's quoted replies.

I figure if Topper can have a list, then so can I.....his was allegedly extensive though. I swear back at CC he filtered half of the board's traffic.

I suppose my list filters half of the board's traffic too though.....but only two people are on it. :lol:
Yeah I know. :(

Sadly, as a mod I must at least scan everyone's posts and keep an eye out for shit links.

It's a tough job but that's why we get the big bucks.

I suspect the ghost of Harold Ballard has his way with Mr. Dumbass.

15 of 26 picked so far are Canadians. Someone will need a new TV tonight. Maybe two new TVs tonight. :?

19/31 players drafted in the first round are Canadians. The Chef would be plastering this board with his rancid diapers if 19/31 were Americans. We’d never hear the end of it. I doubt he will comment on the strong showing of Canadian kids.

No pure Americans taken in the first round, just muggles.

Doyle is in denial. Lots of Americans on the Canucks

Miller
Hughes
Boeser
Demko
Motte
Gaudette
Myers

And more coming

Rathbone
Lockwood

More importantly how many B.C.’ers went in the first round? BC only produces expensive bums - Lucic, Alzner, Seabrook, Ladd etc

What are you on about? I just commented on what a great draft year it was for Canadians. You are clearly enraged here. You start yammering about the American players on the Canucks and then bring up BC players. You do hate BC kids, which is weird, but I guess the hockey players weren’t very nice to you growing up. But you also cheer against Canada at every WJC. So don’t pretend you only hate BC kids. All the guys you mentioned had solid careers, won cups, and aged out. Players from other parts of the world age out and take the money at the ass end of their careers. What about Sakic, Niedermayer, Neely, Kariya? They all bums too?

Why is Doylez so anti-American?

Good on Elmer for keeping quiet today. Kicked the tires on a few things, but did not give away any future picks to swing for the fences in a knee jerk reaction trade this first round.

The Brown Wizard wrote: Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:03 am I'd say Benning has the upper hand with both Bill Armstrong and Markstrom. The yoties don't want to give away their franchise defenseman but he has them over a barrel. Same with Marky. He wants to stay on and see where this team can go more than he wants to cash in with detroit and suffer that fate.

It sure looks like Tanev is gone though.
Yeah, Tanev looks gone, kind of mixed on it but in some ways I agree, he was lucky last season (injury wise). One of those hard choices. Now if we do land OEL, it would make loosing Tanev easier to take.
Taking on Larsen's contract would be very much a deal for the now, not the long term future. Better win the cup in the next three years.
If we sign Tanev to a 5 year contract he'll be 35 years old when it's done.

If we trade for OEL and his contract he'll be 35 years old when it's done.
In that scenario we have a $3M difference in cap hit though.

You always omit critical details Doc.....why is that?
The $3M+ difference in salary is something we all know about and has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Should I have also mentioned water is wet? :crazy:

Mëds: "I shall have my revenge!"

Micky seemed to be suggesting that going with OEL over Tanev would shorten our window somehow...
Where did you get the idea I thought we should re-sign Tanev for 5 years?
