I said they have to prove they belong, did you miss that part?

I should take time off and head up to young stars. Actually worth watching (from a Canuck point of view) finally.

It's pretty easy to prove you belong when there is no one else to play your position. If after training camp a kid gets sent down despite clearly outplaying a veteran then I'm right there with you. Until then, competition is a good thing.

For sure, it gets rid of complacency. If they earn it, I expect them to play.

You overrate the kids
- CanuckDon

Majorly overrates, Canucks are terrible, prospects are mediocre, last year both Stecher and Hutton belonged in Utica. Goldobin plays one end of the ice, Baertchi is as soft as butter. The forth line of who ever was cast belonged in the AHL.

Eriksson majorly underachieved. Man I can go on and on, but the whole conversation is play the kids that belong in the AHL. poopcan the Sedins, but still the only 2 still producing even at 37, besides Horvat.

I really think people need to get their heads out of the deep end, it's not the Sedins holding the team where they are, it's crappy support players that come anywhere close to pushing them aside.

And don't go with the " well they get all the choice minutes", yeah the also get all the other teams top defenders and their still out producing anyone not named Horvat.

Just because there is hate or dislike from some posters here certainly doesn't mean they have any insightful knowledge on what it takes to dress a team.

Yeah, but the guy running the league doesn't F off half way through the season.
- CubanBuffet


Yeah, that was my bad. I should've just gave my team to someone and let someone run the league. Sorry about that.

Had to take off a few months off from the internet and social media to get some poop done in the real world.

Considered that, but I'm looking at $50,000 for demo, plus any asbestos is extra, then another $2.50 sqft to build. We didn't think we could get the money back.
