I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt with new management, but we never seem to do well on the guys we think can get a good haul back.

On the positive, gotta be a better return than we got for Tanev Toffoli Marky (you're welcome cgy, mtl).

We traded for Toffoli at TDL , so when were we suppose to trade him?

Yeah, the East is a train wreck. Basically no playoff races there.

Not much for races in the west either.

Right, fair enough. I guess I consider those assets we gave up lost because we didn't re-sign, even though he was clearly a good fit.

Well technically the. Snicks are still in the race. The teams aren’t good, but it’s antibodies guess who will sneak into the wild card spots. Last I looked the East was top 8 and and bottom 8 with no real chance for anyone in the bottom to move up.

Lol, auto correct Canucks to the. Snicks

4 teams within 6 points of the 2nd wild card isn't a race?

People here didn't want to re-sign him. They wanted younger faster Jake who just came off an 18 goal year. Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

Then don't suggest it if you can't offer a solution.

I’ve a few ideas but it takes a deal in place so dominos work out. My hinging point is on what D could be had a what price. Too early to get a good bead on the market.

4 teams in a battle for 1 spot, as I said, not much for races in the west.

Yup I wanted Jake to be a better human too That one was tough without hindsight.

I also wanted and thought Gaudette might pan out too ... I liked his game for a spell there.

I did want Toffoli, Tanev over Marky, Schmidt, Holtby after the Demko bubble though. He showed me enough then ... and he wasn't a teenager or anything.

Was listening to Ray Ferraro on TSN radio, for the 1st time I heard him say a couple nice things about the Canucks, what a loser.

I don't think Benning was impressed with his playoffs. He had 28 goals last year in a very soft division but only has 9 this year.

Poor Ray, says he might have to start cooking, because the wife is busy.
Kinda thought that was sexist territory
