Lol. That’s a bit of a stretch.
You think so?
It's a solid top-4 d for effectively nothing, which is at least as good as the Hoff deal.
This got me thinking, why did the canucks get the deal done?
First, we clearly weren't on his 10 team no trade list.
Second, out of the remaining 20 teams, we must have been one of the few with the cap space to take him on. We only had the cap space because Tanev and Marky were let go.
“Why did they get the deal done” .... seems pretty simple to me. Vegas wanted Petro and they weren’t going to dither around waiting to grab a second tier prospect + a pick

Good question. Division rival, not a preferred destination...couldn't they have shopped around a bit and gotten at least a decent prospect?
There is more to the tale

FFS you two, ESQ went on to answer his own question...

Point was UW, that the shitty contracts have fucked the team more than COVID. Could have easily retained Tanev and Toffoli without a couple of the useless pieces of shit taking up space on the 4th line.
Yes, there are more than Tanev and Toffoli’s contracts in bad contracts. But then you missed my point about Odysseus ordering himself tied to the mast. Signing those complimentary players at their ages to long term contracts could fit for this year but not future years. And I just don’t think those deals would have made sense (Tanev might have without the Vegas trade but would still be a risk).
I don’t think covid fucked the Canucks all that much given that everything about the cap is comparative and most competitive teams were having to make adjustments, limited in their opportunities for improvement. So I guess I agree that bad contracts affect the Canucks more than the flat cap, but I think that going into the season the team is better off this year than last, so I am not sure how it is they might be considered fucked....
I don’t think they are “fucked” either. I just felt the need to chime in on Dickie’s ridonkulous theory that it was COVID that did Vancouver in. He and others are unwilling to believe that Elmer has signed a poor contract in his entire tenure.
Maybe I should lay off smacking the piss out of the low hanging fruit but I find it too tempting sometimes.
I don’t know what your problem is but if you don’t think covid has had an impact on this offseason you’re more of an idiot than you appear online. Must be tough getting owned constantly by the chef and the doc.
Angry little guy here. COVID had an effect on all the teams, not specifically Vancouver. Now put your teeth back in and have some jello. And for fuck sakes settle down.

This brings some perspective to your world. Have you tried boxers with 5% lycra. It sounds like your boys need a bit of support. Or, "Bagz". Jonesy and Reilly recommends they. They should protect you low hanging fruits.

They used to have IN's chin for support, when he bailed, Reef kneeled into the role, but alas, his two fingers couldn't fill the void.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Every time old long balls Hargreaves sits on his sack he makes an angry post

Hargraves has big balls, not to be confused by long hairy balls like the Chef allegedly lugs around.
I imagine the current shape of ole Chef’s ball sack is a-typical for any man in his mid 50’s. Does Doyle have Peter Pan syndrome? Since he’s turned 50 he’s done some strange things - Brazilians etc.
