I was just happy we got a young D man with some size and skill and was projected to be a quality player. Bust instead...Bust. I had nothing against Chuck at he time. Would have been very happy with that pick.

Vantel (I think) myself, and a few others wanted Sergachev but I was OK with the OJ pick as watching him closely at Mem.Cup he was so bloody good. Major potential there but ran into injuries and yes...Travis Green lol. Is what it is so glad that pr!ck Turtlechuk aint here.

meh

The one that you decided Jan 1st was the start of the season.
- manvanfan

The give Budreau a year and see crowd makes out like this team is a powerhouse, if only.

They’re still a bubble team, just like they were with Travis Green.

I chose Jan 1 kind of arbitrarily, the schedules start on the first of the months. Bruce was hired Dec 5th. So I gave the rest of Dec over to the bump and started fresh the next month.

So you think they will play Halak 5 games in 8 nights?


You know ASL is talking about tanking with Halak right?

lol give Nighty a break he was probably just foggy from the daily naps...

Apparently ref complaining was front and center at league meetings by GMs and gary slapped them with fines lol. Woke nhl.

I very much looks like you are trying to bait someone in here.
- boonerbuck

Naaaah... In here?

lol

I think Miller will be traded for max value this summer. The money he'll be asking for will be deserved in the short term but not long term and the assets will be needed. I think they keep Bo who will come in at a much more affordable price. They are stuck With Myers and OEL. The miller trade should provide a quality player and prospect along with a 1st round pick. I imagine a UFA will be added as well.
- boonerbuck

Possible but what if Miller signs a 4 year deal here at a decent rate? Maybe keeping a 90-100 Point player could be good. I could also see some cap money out to get Miller signed. I'm sure Rutherford is looking at all options.

Pretty sure Bo being beta/soft is a pretty contested opinion in here, far from groupthink


Myers, I think started strong, OEL looked decent early on too. Both have faded over the past couple of months in my opinion. Hughes-Schenn have also faded over the past 4-6 weeks.

Demko covers up a lot of warts defensively

Don't forget losing Motte and Hamonic hasn't helped matters either.

Even if you were to split the difference and go .600 hockey. Ties the Canucks for 2nd place in the division.

As I said if you ain't first, you're last according to most in here.

1/3 of the league is a bubble team.

It's pretty unconceivable that someone can think that losing those 2 has hampered the team.

I don't think we will ever make a playoff rin without Motte and Hamonic. Hopefully we can get them back

And the Floods.

Sugar coat it however you want. Hamonic we could get around but we miss Motte's energy on the 4th line and PK. You think Richardson is an adequate replacement? lol

And McCann too. Dumba as well? Where will the flow go?

- LordHumungous

As I said 85.7% PK since Motte left.

No Richardinson has been pretty terrible all season. He was overrated the same way Motte is.

Richardinson is the reason why Motte thinks he's a 2M plus player.

Motte's play and energy spoke for itself. Especially in the PO's vs Minny STL and Vegas. Maybe he was asking a bit much but had earned that right. Funny though now the 4th line whiners here finally have their sub-3 mil, 4th line and you get what you get...lol

- K-man25

Good luck in the PO's mini-champ...
