Pellican stinks. He will never come close
To being what Hronek is now. Brilliant trade

- CanuckDon

The point being, with Hughes and Pettersson being 23 and 24 years old, they should’ve been rebuilding in an extremely strong draft year. But I get it, they wanna compete as they’ve been losing for a LONG time. I know there’s no guarantees in a rebuild, but there’s no guarantees in a re-tool either, as we’ve seen over the past decade. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

They traded an old, overpaid UFA plug for a center prospect and 25 year old top 4 RHD. It really was a homerun. Not sure what the point of mentioning the islanders pick as they never had intentions of keeping it
- CanuckDon

The Horvat trade was brilliant, loved it.

It was tear it down to the studs or compete. I don’t think Pouty was staying unless they made dramatic improvements. I wanted them to trade Pouty, Hughes and Miller but I understand it wasn’t a reasonable expectation.

Teams don’t rebuild when they have young high end pieces like that. I just find the constant whining annoying. It’s not a rebuild. Get over it Canuck fans

This team will never re-build just a re-tool every year trying to fix the never ending problems with this team.

Just watched the interview with DPetey. Smart kid, Don't think it will take him long.

I seen a few plays with Jurmo today. He looks like a big kid with very good position on the play. For the first time with him I am hopeful.

You should stay off the internet because the whining will never stop until they win a Stanley Cup. Which will be never.

So you think the Canucks are worse than last year? Bold
- CanuckDon



So now the team with with better defensive players are suddenly going to struggle to score, which wasn’t an issue last season, they were right there with the Rangers, Avs, LA, the mighty talented Leafs, is now going to be the downfall.

Oh well, to each their own, but I like Hronek, Hughes, and Soucy and Cole great additions. Which will help by keeping Miller and Pettersson off the PK.

He claimed we will be a bottom 10 team next year. We weren’t a bottom 10 team last year. So in the geniuses opinion:

OEL Schenn Hirose Dries > Hronek Soucy Cole Blueger

They absolutely crushed free agency: will it be enough to make the playoffs? 50/50 but at least we have a little more size and a lot less chaos on the back end

I think the team has no hope: but anyone that’s says they haven’t improved is a (frank)ing idiot. Are you an idiot ?

No I’m a realist. I think the core sucks and won’t achieve anything. I only comment when folks are being stupid. It’s a hobby

In Don fashion, you typically reply to comments not made by me or project poop I haven't said... keep telling yourself you are smarter than people in here. Watching you call people idiots all day long is hockeybuzz's biggest comedy.

One smoky day in the last 6 weeks makes it the norm... interesting. More of Don's math.
