The Bubbles Hargraves and Chef Dud review every GM move thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

It’s pretty friggin’ close!
It’s not bad. I think Dahlin will climb the ladder and so will Jack Hughes

Dahlin yes, Jack Hughes not so sure. Just not seeing any magic at all from the kid. His Bro is on a whole other level which is funny because most thought it would be the other way around

Ha good dig!!!

I am pretty sure his name was circulated on various trade speculation sites a year or so back when he was underperforming. I wonder how close they came to making a huge mistake

Florida wasn’t going to trade him. That was the talk among the neckbeards. Why on earth would you trade a kid like that?

Sometimes Neckbeards have day jobs and sometimes those day jobs are running NHL teams

Do you guys remember when Max Domi beat the shit out of Ekblad?

It wasn't so much him that was under-performing. It was the entire team, and much of it had to do with Bobrovsky's first season in Cat-Town.....he sucked. There was talk of moving out a big piece to right the ship, and the only two pieces that were on that level of blockbuster were Barkov and Ekblad.....and Barkov wasn't going anywhere.

UberDough has turned into a stud, should be a candidate for Team Canada. Ekblad has rejuvenated himself nicely

He’s OK, not stalwart like you’re fantasies imagines he is. I lost all respect for him when the 6” shorter, 50 lb lighter Max Domi beat the tar out of him

I have no fantasies here. You have been right maybe 2 % of the time that you needlessly bash these kids. If you were a scout you would have been fired out on your ear.

Why do I care if Ekblad got sucker punched by Max Domi?

Hur dur Tom Sestito, Ryan Clowe hur dur old time hockey!!!

It’s not a sucker punch when your squaring off with someone getting up in each other’s grill.

Domi got suspended for it. It absolutely was a sucker punch when the other guy has no intention of fighting.

Wake up.
