Sorry fellas. I forgot that you’re used to this

I told DCT Albin Grewe was someone I would take at 71 not 40. NHL felt the same. 66th to Detroit

I’m up on the ledge.😂

im headed to the simon fraser bridge lol.

I like miller, but TB fleeced us, no other way to spin it.

This. A nice upgrade on Sven, but at what cost? At what cost?

That's not true at all. There are a lot of things I have disliked. Never wanted Sutter, Never wanted Gudbranson, Never wanted DP.

looks like you would've missed out on him at 71 actually

Maybe a flip coming? Benning clearly stated he wasn't trading picks.

I really don't think he knows what he's doing from one week to another.

It's the situation that makes it more frustrating.

We just saw what Subban got traded for and how the Leafs had to bend over just to dump Marleau.

Tampa was in a similar desperate spot, yet Jim paid full value or arguably even more than full value.

Come on. Subban is a cap dump with that contract. You got to pay to upgrade your tip 6 with a 26 year old. The price sucks but (frank) it. We will likely make the playoffs assuming we add a top 4 D

Be more okay with that then trading a future 1st for Miller

If only we'd gotten Detroit's pick in the Miller trade, we'd all be happy.

we have too many forwards. I imagine Sutter and/or Sven get dealt

Not when the team looking to trade the top 6 player was in cap hell, and the player was coming off a down season with that team. He spent a decent chink of time in their doghouse on the 4th line and they were desperate to shed his 5.25M cap hit.

Jim wasn't the shark, he was the beta. Sadly, this is the case far too often when he makes big trades.

Aside from overpaying a UFA, how do you propose they do it?

I think the Canucks 1st pick next year if we make the playoffs will become a better player than Miller.

Put that in the book.

I thought you liked this deal?

if Jim overspends on Myers or Gardiner, this will have been a failed summer IMO

Maybe FA is pulling the puppet strings, that would explain things.

Nice positive post Donny,

Golf hasnt start yet. (frank) benning jeez

Fire him now come on guys this is insane

Not so sure bout that, but if they miss then it's possible, especially with the new crazy lotto odds, even barely missing the playoffs could end up leading to a top 3 pick.

Looks like the Canucks will be making another trade soon..

(frank)en dream land for some in here thinking that you get a 2nd line player for rock bottom cheap.
