Getting the feeling Gaunce may be playing in Utica.

So how does extending the Twins or going after Miller explain change?

I like Dahlen Pettersson Gadjovich Gaudette but that is three years away. So in the meantime we get to watch boring hockey?
- VANTEL

It is what it is for now. But Sedins are not extended and Miller was not offered 2 years and more $ so he's not here. I hope the change coming increases talent and entertainment. Winning is step two.

Seriously what asset? What do people think we are going to get for Tanev?

I am sure if people think we are getting JVR and a guy like Brown they are dreaming.

It would be JVR and a 50th OA or something . Better deals to be had.

NBA contracts are F'n ridiculous.

James Harden
$228 million -- 4 Year contract.

that is stupid money
- classic321

Compare the NBA tV deals with that of Hockey and you'll see why.

Also, for every McDavid Jersey sold the NBA sells 500 Currie's.

That makes me wanna cry

They need a baby sitter
- VANTEL

The call them Support Care Workers for people that old.

I don't see JVR thriving here...he actually fits the Leafs better lol

Plus most NBA stars have more personality in one finger than entire NHL teams have on one roster.

Who the hell is asking for bigger and slower. That is so ten years ago. How about bigger faster.
- VANTEL

Down with that

New TV contract...owners can afford it. Plus NBA teams only have 12 man rosters and you can't win without a legit superstar or 2 so you have to pay up.

Its the Term that gets me

$228 million over 4 years.

4 F'ing years......... Give me a break

He basically controlled the entire negotiation. By the time the contract is up, he'll still be a superstar and cash out with one more big contract + the choice to play in basically any city. Smart move by him.

Listening to Trevor yesterday , I would be shocked if Sedins are not back.

His I am very close to them and they are in fantastic shape is the writing on the wall .

We are on the exact same page,Bubba. I have always regarded you as the smartest Canucks fanon these threads. I guess if with age comes wisdom,you would be the wisest.

Then i would come in 2nd....
Cya in the Finals Vantel 👍😂

IS he?
How has he done providing a good farm system, scouting resources and public relations?

I wonder if Booner has to evacuate? Too many dam fires. A fire started about 8 KM from our house but the neighbours band together with the fire department and got it out. I really don't want to have to evacuate from another city. Thats stressful sh!t.
- thundachunk

I'm good Thunder. The little fires around here are more controllable from the wet spring. My father is living in our cabin down around 100 Mile though. He was in the bar yesterday and the fire department came in and told everyone to get ready to evac. Scary... I have a friend in Lac Le Hache who just got ordered to evac... he's hoping his beater little house burns down though because he's had no luck selling it 3 years straight :D There's a lot of that in the Cariboo. It's how you do home improvements here :D

God no. Its because we've seen it shift and change dozens of times over the past 40 years. The biggest evolution in hockey over the past half century isnt the atheletes or equipment, its developing systems.Quit taking it so personal, this arguement has nothing to do with my being an Oilers fan. It's unbecoming of you to resort to such cheap heat.
- Larsson_fan

Again, see post previous page. Put it all together. They all impact that plus more changes. The only trend I see now is having your 6 D made up of smallish puck movers and the PP QB. We'll see how that goes. The pace, speed and need to score throughout the line up is more of a progression change.

Apparently Paul George will be the next Mega contract

If he makes any NBA "All NBA TEAM" he can make like $65 million more on his next contract.

Dumbest rule I have ever heard of. You win a popularity contest among the media and it allows you to earn $65 million more

Straight from the deniers handbook the scientists are not wrong.
- Bettmanhatesus

What the (frank)? No denying there... 2004 was the worse season I have ever seen... remember when Barrier burnt down? We had 3 weeks of 40 weather that summer.

I mentioned how close the El-Ninio's are together now... acknowledgement...

Take your act somewhere else.

- Nucker101

I knew it was coming.

They want D not picks
- CanuckDon

Trade the picks for D, I'm sure Benning would listen to 2 1sts and a 2nd.

I will concede to that. No system will likely be developed to make a player of ,say,Darien Hatcher's ilk dominant or even effective.

How many times does one have to tell us that it is new nhl speed skill blah blah blah

By the time we catch up to a few of these teams that have gone this route the league will have changed again.
Just build a team with skill speed and some snarl quit this building or gifting roster spots to pussies.
- Reubenkincade

This has happened to us in the past on more than one occasion... true.

Finally after 3 years we are starting to see some positives come about in the last four months . Every single positive has been about change.


Every time they have tried to build around the twins it has bit them in the ass . Canucks need change . Johnny Torts gave us that heads up three years ago.
