Listening to everyone female dog and complain about the canucks after last nights loss is hilarious.

This team is good. Had a bad night. It happens.

So many fans have gone from "We maybe could win a series, or even two"

To once again

"Trade this guy trade that guy this team is going nowhere"

My goodness. Its one game. One game that is the last game of a five game road trip.
People on 1040 right now are trippin balls.

@ryanbiech: #Canucks prospect Jared McCann is on a 9 games point streak - he has 19 points (9-10-19) during this streak.

To be fair, i've been saying to trade higgins/hansen all season regardless of stats. Lately I've been thinking to dump Matthias as well, simply because his agent isn't willing to discuss contract yet(probably waiting to see if he can push for a 3.5+ if Matthias hits 20+ goals). He's a good player that I want to keep, but not at 3.5. I say 3.5 because that is a going rate for players that have hit 20 goals in a season, sometimes even 4 if consistent.

I think Vancouver could do well against any team in the playoffs in the first round.

EXCEPT LA...... If we face them it's a sweep, possibly a 5 game series.
They just know how to play Vancouver.

Can someone explain how the buyout process works? I know after the lockout everyone got two.... not everyone used theirs.

Was that a one time thing? We used ours on Booth and Ballard. Do we get more as time moves on or was two it.

I am looking at you Higgins.

I clearly remember when Higgins played for Montreal, all of the rumours were on how much Gillis valued this guy. This was two years before the actual trade was done with Florida.

1040 is hilarious like that I swear Paterson is Admiral Bipolar. One night they have nothing but good things to say about the team, the direction, the coaching, management and the next it is all a hair's breadth away from disaster

If you don't use them, you lose them (after 2 years). Also Higgins would be a huge waste of a buyout he can be traded for picks if management feels like it

13 teams didn't even use one of their compliance buyouts.Multiple teams only used one.

Rule said any team had till june or July 2014 I think it was to opt into buying a player out before the 2014/2015 season. Once that deadline passed you can't buyout anymore players. You only get 2.

The top 5 most valuable franchises in the league used both of theirs.

Wont get another one till the next lockout if they include it in the CBA.

Buying out higgins now would do pretty much nothing to his cap hit. Thats why toronto never bought out clarkson, even though they had the money to do so.

Every team after the lockout got two compliance buyouts where they wouldnt count against the cap.

Now when you buy a player out it counts I believe 2/3rds salary against the cap.

People are only giving you half the answer. You can still buy out players but the no compliance buyouts were limited to the two and that has passed. Now you get penalized for a buy out... no limit on how many.
