It is a shame that Trump is using this virus to power trip over all the Governors, etc. He would rather everyone die, than do something to help them if it doesn't benefit him personally. Truly the worst President in the history of the US.

lol wow get a grip man...Let's remember Trump wanted to cut off all incoming and out going travel to China in early January but you people called him a racist for it But yet Trudeau tries to slip a 21 month dictatorship in and all is well Can't even make this sh!t up...

Myers isn't a mistake even, he's just slightly overpaid. Will he become a mistake? Maybe, but that's yet to be seen. D always hold more value than forwards too, so even if he starts to slip he can be more easily offloaded.

Loui all the way. Myers can still play, and improves the team. Loui is a black hole.

- NewYorkNuck


Better yet, force Loui to agree to terminate his contact after his next signing bonus is paid. (Gentlemen's Agreement, or threat of Utica followed by loans to various other organizations, or whatever)

Save the compliance buyout and do a reciprocating deal with some other team where you trade and then re-sign Myers post-buyout like Washington did with Brooks Orpik. Canucks would use their buyout on whoever the other team sends back in exchange for Myers.

Could free up about $10MM to $11MM in cap space for a couple of years. More importantly, you'd be freeing up $4MM - $5MM in years 3-5 of Myers' contract and he'd be more movable or easier to be bought out again down the road as he declines.

Stressful times. My fathers health went to complete poop fast. Spent endless hours driving back and forth from Kamloops and is there a worse place to be during a Pandemic than the Hospital over and over? First it wasnt cancer, then oh no we think its cancer and then its not cancer. Meanwhile, they nearly killed him by tripling his meds. He went into critical condition twice. New doctor sorted out his meds. He needed a decrease not an increase... now they think he doesnt need the meds at all. This idiot doctor in 100 Mile House must kill more people than he helps. Everyone female doges about this moron.

yeah actually you can and just did...

You are so full of shit, I just can't believe this absolute idiot has any type of a following at all.

But you keep your rose coloured glasses on and only focus on how great Trump is while trying to reach at any straws to discredit any other party leader...

Not sure what the motivation is for teams to trade each others players they then will compliance buy out.

Myers is a popular target because he has the biggest AAV plus longest term. But he's bringing value to the team. That analysis by the Athletic article lays it out.

By years 3-5 all the other fat vet contracts will be gone and Canucks will have a lot ELC's So is all that Myers' finessing really necessary?

I have a hard time pointing the finger at the states when our medical system also fails people at the same time.

America elected Trump, a loser(not as dangerous as war with Russia Hillary). They elected Obama who was a big historical moment but he also comes in on a promise to put wall street abusers in jail... and bails them out instead. Only Bernie Maddof who grew up working class and only scammed the rich was sentenced to something like 250 years in jail(clear message there). No one else was busted. Then he became the biggest preemptive war president in history. He was a breath of fresh air after the loser that Americans voted for, Bush, who like Obama, lied the country into war(albeit far fewer wars than Obama).

Point is, how the media presents these bumholes is the single biggest factor in how they are perceived by the public but in reality, they all serve the same people...oligarchs, foreign lobby, religion, themselves.

I just watched Trevor Noah reporting from Trump rallies, I suspect you'd fit right in.

I thought this place would be a ghost town. Good to see the spirit strong. Or is it strong spirits?

Good job Carol.
