And yet he’s paying Baertschi to play in Utica, Lui to not play, etc. it he really wanted to save $ he’d have all his one-way guys in Vancouver and send everyone else down.

I get that he’s rich as (frank), but clearly he’s a Canuck fan as well. You gotta think it’s annoying the poop outta him that this team is paying so much money for junk. The amount of value he’s getting per dollar spent outside of the young core is just insanely bad.

He’s paying West Vancouver housing prices for a cabin in New Brunswick.

As a businessman and a fan, that has to be at least a little infuriating

Hopefully the Heinen deal is dead

It appears that way.

Apparently he watched the last game at the sports bar at Rogers arena. He didn't appear too happy.

Maybe he should sell the team.
Would appease some folks on here at the very least (for a minute).

I wonder if Jimmy Patterson is still rich and interested in getting a NHL franchise?

Your solution is too add more dead money?
- VANTEL

No. If money is the primary concern, as opposed to winning for instance, then Baertschi should be on the roster because paying him not to play AND another player to take his spot doesn’t support the save money narrative.

Fire JB.
Trade JV (and then Sutter, Benn and Pearson)
Sign Tryamkin.

in that order

Or they can reap what they sow. (I used that term so LH could understand)

Sam Gagne is still playing in the NHL. Yes, it’s for among the worst teams in the league, but at least they know who they are.

Nah.

Bieksa for team president.

Sooner rather than later with how bad this team is playing and attitudes Baertchi should be re-inserted way before LE was. At least Baertchi can score at this level. Use him until he gets injured or whatever. If Green is going to shuffle the lines every game may as well insert Baertchi.

Bieksa for team president.

He would bring character and hold people accountable.

Well I said don't sign Loui
I said sign Sven at 1.5 for two years
I said sign Jake at 1.5

Unfortunately Franky doesn't talk to me much

#CBJ Max Domi has made a series of very nice passes today … mostly to #Preds players.

I’m sure you’d work for much less than his current advisors.

He should have someone reading this blog everyday - free advice!

I was just reporting that I heard the deal was dead. I had nothing to do with the Loui signings. I am not defending those bad signings but I didn't sign them either . Francesco does have an active Twitter account you can let him know

I only use Twitter for wine, or reading stupid stuff. He doesn’t need me telling him how to run his business, and if he did, I’d expect top $

Francesco never pays top dollar

I am watching Sabres game again today, now that is a team I think the Canucks could beat.

Can I interest you in two top line players for a mere 19 mil?

We've blamed FA for drafting JV we might as well just blame him for the extension as well. I'll need 2 people to second this opinion then we can just move forward and casually blame ownership.

These announcers on the American stations are pretty bad.
