He plays both sides of the fence what is hard to understand about that? He is one of the most accurate insiders in the league and he loves sparking anger for Canuck fans as a guilty pleasure.

Is this your new thing now? Canuck fans said this yesterday and today they say that?

isn't your thing also saying "well canuck fans said this when MG was gm and now they say this," blah blah blah.

If they did confirm, wouldn’t this be tampering? Or is that not a thing if his current team doesn’t care?

Or is this the legal tampering phase?

Seattle can talk to all free agents . The rest of the league can't yet

He definitely enjoys trolling. The league misses Bobby Mac, he was the best insider despite being out East and being friends with that idiot Colin Campbell

Tampering seems pretty easy to get away with as long as you don’t say poop out loud

For sure. Still better than that clown Dreger who is useless with cousin Nonis being reduced to a scout

It's how media personalities stay relevant now days. Journalism is dead so just troll for clickbait.

Yes and no.
They either keep Price and all is well because they saved both their goalies
or
Price leaves and 10.5 mil free cap space
to offersheet Petey...

I think the only reason they went as far as they did was because of Price .

Every team does it. I know some fans will take offense here . Just because 31 other GMs do it doesn't mean Canucks should do it.

agreed. just like the canucks depended on extraordinary goaltending in the thingy last summer. sure both teams played better than expected but without the hot goaltending, both teams would have been ousted quickly.

it's funny how good goaltending can disguise a lot of problems or at least cover them up so some people don't see them.

True, but I have read that going to the final and not winning was the worst thing that could happen to them. Artificial sense of we are close and a good team. ala 82' Canucks

I can agree with that. I think they are going to have problems making the playoffs next year.

that's smart cap management.

allows them to save cap for the bottom 6 players.

Why would a team want the second best goalie in the NHL ? Is that a serious question?

I get that he's still good but he is neither the second best, nor worth his contract.

Why take Price when you could have any of the guys I mentioned before?

to make the habs look bad. some people really are upset that the canadiens made it to the scf (but are too proud to show it.) so now, they wish misfortune (or what they think is misfortune) on that team. weird i know, but it is what it is...

No, I just find it funny that one day people go on and on about what a troll the media are, and how they have no clue, and then the next day when something that gets said suits them the same fans are quoting that person as a trusted source.

Imagine picking a 34 year old goalie who needs knee surgery and eats 13% of your cap for the next 5 years just out of spite That's some serious commitment
