When I look at Seattle, I can’t help but think they are a badly managed expansion team. Perhaps some of that is because they came in after Vegas and despite essentially the same expansion rules, they were unable to fleece the rest of the league because GM’s had wised up. Either way, they just don’t l ...

Player One has 9 points in 37 games and has shown so far that he doesn’t have the strength to play in the NHL. Player Two has 78 points in 169 games and can play all ends of the ice. When you consider that they were taken in the same draft, one is not like the other. Lekkerimaki for Wright is not a s ...

Haha. I didn’t see Hutson’s name on that list. I scanned it quickly. But the point stands. Hutson is the only one there who you wouldn’t be trading away for a 41+ point RS pivot still on his ELC.

Shane Wright = Doug Wickenheiser After his Regina Pats season of 79-89-81-170 he was selected 1OA then peaked at 78-25-30-55 in his best season in the NHL. Montreal made the right call on Wright’s draft day, so should the Canucks, hard pass! Montreal wisely did not spend a 1OA in Wright. Nobody is s ...

What per cent of your calls are these wastes of time? I hope you have enough 'real' calls that make the job worth it to you. 75% Wow - that sucks - can you get a MAID unit to tag along with you? Maid, sounds a lot like they need their parents for stupid shit like this! Dealing with tenants we ...

The difference here is that Carlsson drives the offense, Gauthier rides shotgun and is more of a Laine-type scorer.

Nobody would offer sheet Gauthier to the tune of $18M.

Hahahaha.

Snowball effect.

Fucking Vikings anyways…..brutal sons of bitches.

To point 3 agreed. I think there are better deals out there for the Kraken than with us if they are looking for an NHL proven scorer with duration and value. I don't see us obtaining Wright for that reason. Most likely true. The idea of Lekkerimaki plus a sweetener for Wright only fits because they ...

The points between his two seasons can be plausibly explained any number of ways that don’t point to him being a lemon on the ice.

The dreaded sophomore slump immediately comes to mind…..

It seems Vancouver is Wright’s “preferred destination”. Kid has balls, I’ll give him that. Not sure what kind of leverage that actually gives anyone, though. Botterills ask is gonna have to come wayyy down for that deal to happen. The guy had 27 pts last season. Which was good for 9th on his team, a ...

What per cent of your calls are these wastes of time? I hope you have enough 'real' calls that make the job worth it to you. I should clarify that 75% a little..... I'd say that 75% of the calls we do are not emergencies that require an ambulance, or they are society-driven situations. Overdoses ...

75%

Wow - that sucks - can you get a MAID unit to tag along with you?

This is why I made the comment regarding the NHL looking like the NBA.....that is a recipe for league-wide Maple Leaves. For the sake of discussion, lets say the cap rises to $130M. Then let's say that the going rate for your superstar contract extension (Hughes, Makar, Celebrini) is 17% of the cap ...
