An AHL championship is a great start sure but can he oversee systems and strategies that may lead to success once the personnel arrive? Or is as Topps says he just a feel good story?

And how did he follow that up?

Any aging vets signing with a bottom seed like Van are looking for long summers and lowered expectations. Warriors want to win I can also see guys signing who feel they have a chance to contribute. Maybe they're pressbox guys on better teams, but they might get decent minutes with the Canucks and ...

Fuck - my reading comprehension is a little off today! (that'll teach me to skim posts)

Like Quebec?

I think the Canucks lacked experienced depth on the blueline the last couple years. It’s important to have a reliable, low maintenance 5-7 guy who can carry some PK min and help guide the kids. Bonus if he can drop the mitts. Maybe someone like Logan Stanley? Big, can drop 'em, affordable. List of U ...

With a little spin from the marketing department

If it wasn't for the track record of impatient ownership, I'd say we could definitely discuss this and rename the thread to "Rebuilding".....tanking is intentional losing, which is what they did this season with their roster moves. Next season is just a shitty team playing hockey as they try to ...

Time to close out the 'Tanking' thread and start looking ahead to what next season might bring.

A couple of years ago, I was really looking forward to catching a game or two in KC - now I couldn't care less about the World Cup. I've been to 2 games in the past, and it's an amazing atmosphere, but FIFA and the current administration down here have sapped all the fun out of the tournament. I ...

Just finished the last episode of The Boys.

Fun show.

5 in the first round, 3 in the 2nd - you're doing great!

We'll have gone through 3 coaches by then.

Of all the things I'm thinking about for next season, EP40 isn't even on the radar. Keep him, trade him - whatever. Better season? Worse? Injured? Prepped for camp. Until he actually does something, he's just an overpaid middle 6 centre. Until he actually does something, he's untradeable. There will ...

Can you do all of my marketing plans, too?

Perfect.

As it was asked to. Just checking to see if Reid would end up picked 2nd with that factored in.
