Or happy wife due to your husbands salary - which is about to go up even higher

Yeah she might make about 100 K or there abouts . Hubby's raise might influence her to move.

Leafs probably missing PO this year 4-0 Pitts

I dunno, their division is almost as bad as the Pacific. They only need to keep pace with Florida and they finish 3rd and play Boston or Tampa in the first round.

I'm sure FA can wrangle up a job in the Canucks organization with the same pay, if his wife wants or maybe the Mariners ,depending on the actual job she has

I'm good for 1 heated hockeybuzz argument a year. It just always so happens to be with the same people. I've filled my quota so now I'll just go back to making fun of the old man.

Does he really want to go back to LA for the start of a rebuild. This is LA's second year at the bottom. They are probably 3 years from where Van is now.

San Jose, Anaheim, Vegas is like a 3 hour drive from LA.

I bet teams in the Central are going to try to tank so they can cross over to the Pacific

Seattle is even closer. Sign him and make a deal with Seattle to make him available.

honestly, this makes me dislike the trade (despite being ok and understanding of it before). Paying for a rental to supplement a healthy top 6 makes sense, but paying for a rental to fill in for an injured top 6 i don't quite understand. Boeser going down, Leivo being out, and Ferland being placed on LTIR for the rest of the year would have given me a better indication that the team wasn't going to go all in this year, but thats just me.

And I personally disagree with your opinion, with the Pacific Division as wide open as it is, Canucks one point out of 1st, and you want Benning to tell the team “guys we have injuries, it’s not good, I had the opportunity to add Toffoli for a 2nd and Madden, but we decided to say (frank) it and ride the rest of the way. Sorry TJ, Petey, Bo and Hughes you guys are fantastic players, but giving up Madden and a second that is 4-5 years away is far more important in the long run.”

Yeah unless she’s the first baselady for the dodgers infield I’d say TT salary might dictate things.

Oh hang on - she’s an entertainment coordinator so I doubt her 35k salary’s calling the shots

I’m sorry but going from working for the Dodgers to the Mariners would be like waking up one morning and bam

You don’t have to say any of that, don’t be such a drama queen. You’re the GM, just go about your business. Players aren’t coming into the office to ask if anyone is getting traded. I’m not saying that the feel good message by Benji isn’t positive, or motivating, but your hyperbole is just as bad as Bloated’s

I respect and understand your point. I'm not mad about madden or the 2nd round pick or the price in general, just not quite understanding the timing with boeser and leivo being put on LTIR. If boeser was healthy, I wouldnt find a thing to complain about for the trade, we havent had a legit top 6 since 2011, and now we finally do (sort of)

I mean come on Canucks fans. You have Pettersson AND Hughes AND Boeser AND Podkolzin AND Hoglander. Any farm system has additional requirements beyond just farming. You guys are still sitting pretty in the youth department. Enjoy Toffoli and the playoffs.

I like what Steve is saying. You don't just build a farm to insert players. JB has added well over 200 games of playoff experience to Vans core this season.

I love how at the press conference everyone is talking about Toffy and Pearsy, a natural fit with Bo yadda yadda and the first thing Green tries is not that.
