No, just that B. Schenn and Sanheim would be a big upgrade over Tanev and Virtanen, or any of the players you mentioned, down the road post Sedin.

Good points of course. Properly managed of course we can replace Miller- Burrows with players of half their current salary for what we are getting out of them. Next year will take some creativity yes but I think Benning is up to the task.

Yes true. Also, JB is saying the following I think. It's either Demko or Miller again at a low price. Like JV or Burr again at low price. But do you see a contract that is sucking the life out of the club from doing anything?

Show me where I said that?

I said they are being overpaid this year and probably next. 14 Mil for this type of play is retarded.

What team do you cheer for by the way ? The resaon I ask is because you ended your rant with" Canucks fans never seem to amaze". I am gathering you mean it in derogatory way so are you part of that derogatory fan base or do you cheer for another team.

Next where did I mention in any of my comments that I thought someone on the Comets should be playing on the Canucks? You need to refresh my memory.

It is easy to twist comments to make them work for you. Ask anyone if they think the Sedins are worth 14 mil right now I think you will find very few who agree with you.

Nice try at being facetious.
Of course Canucks r my team.
As for the so-called majority of fans i've called them out for decades for what they r.
Players r worth what they r paid PERIOD.
U don't have to like it but accept it.
Going on about the Sedins contracts when we have no replacements is nonsense.
Anyone can cherry pick any contract at any point in time.

Again I don't understand the attitude that I am smarter than the majority of the Canuck fan base that you have, because I will be honest and say there are a fair share of regulars that question your judgement. I know there are many that also question mine but I don't come on here claiming that I m smarter than the majority like you just did.

You don't think the Sedins are being paid to much right now ,I do. I think there is a few options you could make next year with a bit of extra cap space. Reaonable contracts and reasonable term, not Loui Eriksson anchors.

you didn't say Shenn. Plus the point wasn't if they were better but if doing the deal now instead after Vegas draft won't be fraught with repercussions on cost benefit.

I said Simmons and I agreed that a center would be a definite improvement.(Schenn being a centre) Im not that worried about Vegas as there are 29 other teams that have the same worry.

They took a discount on their contract's before this one, which would be during the 2011 Cup run.
- LeftCoaster


So the $900K raise from the former 2009 contract was an overpayment? The precentange alone should be considered a discount, right?

Early bird special is very under rated. I start drinking three ours earlier and get the cheaper prices to buy more booze.

There is a limit on the condescending eye roll. You have reached your quota for the day.

I know fair enough. Maybe I should have just said take exempt player JV out and add exposed forward Hansen/Granlund so losing a top 6 for nothing isn't an issue for Nucks.

In 2009- 2010 season their production remained the same and spiked in the following year 2011. Since signing that contract their production dropped at least 25% approximately except in the year 2011 and 2014

I am not sure if giving raises for less does not seem like a discount

I don't think i am smarter than everyone or if i were i'd be GM.
I expect my judgement to be questioned. Still my opinions.
At the time of the contract the price was fine.
Not cherry picking now that its convenient & the 14m is not the problem now & the LE contract is not either. Our cup window came & went & we r now in a transition period. Not my problem ppl think it can change overnight.

Is that how it's used? I use it as what it says as a question mark. Like in wonderment or curious to garner discussion. Sheesh writing and emojis can be a bad cocktail.
