Other than the abortion of 2016, I don’t have much issue with his drafting. His trades are dodgy at best but he seems to have finally cleaned up his signings. The Luongo retirement may have been a good thing for his team.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 5:55 amI agree Blob. I haven’t been a huge fan of his on July 1st. I love his drafting, for the most part. I don’t mind most of his trades. But his FA signings have scared me. So far I’m solid with this year. Perhaps having Luongo retire saved Jim from Jim.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 5:01 amElmer has earned most of he lumps he’s taken in this market.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
That isn’t really a flip flop. Myers at 7 x 7 would have been an extremly stupid contract. That’s all Ferraro said. He wasn’t wrong. The contact that he signed is a decent deal for both sides. A cunt hair rich but not back breaking.

Hopefully this means that Vancouver is again becomming a destination that players are willing to sign in without charging a surcharge...

I’ll take the words of Ray over guys who have played as much hockey as MS.

You'll believe Flip Flop Ray when he says the signings were bad
... and you'll believe him when he says the signings were good.

Fools: "He played hockey!"

Lol Doc with all his experience playing roller hockey on metal wheels in East Van knows more than Ray Ferraro a 20 year NHL vet who’s been TSN’s best analyst for fifteen years.

My email to Halford and Brough this morning
“Who’s the idiot source who started the rumour that the Canucks and Myers were talking an $8 Million per year 6 year contract that had all you 1040 Benning Haters in a tizzy last week? Shameful journalism. Amateurs with terrible sources.”
They responded with - “Sportsnet”
