Part of me wants Subban to get a game just so the masses will witness how badly he gets shredded...it would be a massacre

Remember when PK lied and said Jordan was better than him, then Nucks fans lost their minds

We could get a lot more than just Gallagher. They would need to add a 1st as well. Maybe more.
- Retinalz


You really think Tanev will get a return of Gallgher, a 1st and more..

I'll be flying home on Friday, first thing I'm doing is rummaging through the closet for my canucks rose coloured glasses...

CA is pushing for Jordan,

"The Canucks are facing the two worst teams in the NHL on the road over the next two games - prime opportunities to try out a defenceman that could be a big part of the future, if he's just given the chance. We'll see if the coaches have the courage to give it a shot."

I was unaware of his value dropping, but you could be right there.
He's on IR at the moment.
Like you said he's young, signed for a great term/amount.
He'd be a great addition to the top6. plays with heart is like the best of Hansen/Burrows in their primes.

Gallagher for Sbisa/Hansen/Subban.

Mtl needs help on D (Sbisa is signed for another year), Hansen can play anywhere and is signed for another year.
Subban...the headlines write themselves!

- dbot


So Tanev is worth Gallagher, a 1st and more...but it will take Hansen, Sbisa and Subban to land Gallagher...something doesn't add up.

I know they are...CA is written by a bunch stats nerds that don't know what a wrist shot is Subban rates highly on their P/GPS model so they need to say he is good

Exactly...this is real life and coaches are trying to keep their jobs and players are trying to win. You don't give Subban a shot at this stage. This isn't the National Feelings league.

One of their contributors had in their profile that they don't watch Canucks games... it was meant as a joke, but all the posters started pointing it out and saying it had to be true. I like a little bit of self deprecating humour but it gets to be almost self loathing.

Some of the stats breakdowns are interesting but they are constantly slagging the team and it gets difficult to read.

Yes, there is a decent chance they would trade us their first. Afterall, we have a 25% chance of obtaining Columbus 2nd and it has immeasurable value.

To answer your earlier question, yes, I am mad we signed Bautista and not Edwing

how is anything about Toronto's BJs a 'we' situation in the Nux blog...

Well that's how the site works...these kids trash the Canucks and churn out a bunch of stats based bs and eventually they get hired by the Panthers A real progressive franchise

the BJ franchise likes to claim it represents more than just Toronto and area, but i'm not buying it... i think there are a lot of people partial to other teams...

Maybe they know that... are protecting him.... to retain trade value.

He is quite small isn't he?

I agree. D-men able to play the amount of minutes Tanev can are much rarer than Gallagher. He's also had a string of injuries due to his style of play, which is the opposite of Tanev who plays a very steady/durable style. I personally would not dthe deal without the draft pick
