Ducks doing Vegas a favour taking Dadynov off their hands. I don’t like any team helping out VGK.

different strokes for different folks.


I find baseball, golf and soccer boring to watch, but I can see why some people enjoy it and I'm cool with them enjoying it even though it's not for me.

and the fans. We've had so many poop bottom 6 lines over the years that finally having a good one seems like this amazing thing
- Nucker101

Just such a divided fan base. Either rooting for the team or poopting all over it.

I don't believe the fan base is very knowledgable. I think they care but when it comes to being rational. Not often.

If you listen to other teams fans and their level of knowledge, I would say Canuck fans are among the more knowledgeable in the league. That doesn't, however, mean they are smart or rational

Patrik Allvin on the Motte trade: Talking to a lot of teams and feeling out what other teams think of our players, that’s where we ended up with that 4th round pick for Tyler.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Did he just say other teams think of his players at best a fourth round pick?



I might be reading it wrong.

- VANTEL


I think he meant to say that he worked hard to find the best deal, but he actually said other teams don't think our players are worth much. Yes.

I thought I outlined it pretty good. There's not enough D depth to just wait for that 3rd rounder to develop. If we're looking to move another D or 2 for picks and prospects in the summer what does that leave us? What if we, God forbid, trade a D for a forward?

Adding Dermott on the cheap expiring contract GIVES US MORE FLEXIBILITY
FOR FUTURE MOVES.

The guys you mentioned aren't nearly as good as Dermott. Personally, I'm done with anything Benning for the next decade or so.

I can see Gallant loving Motte and Motte enjoying NYC, will be interesting to see if he re-signs.
- Nucker101

They also added Copp a nice piece. Barron too. Tells you what they think of Chytl as a C.

Nope not a full scale sell off.

I think they will add to the team this summer and let players develop more.

I think they will sign Karlsson this summer and bring in Lockwood . Sign Lammikko .

I hope they go after a guy like Kane and add Nichushkin .

Not sure what they do with Boeser and don't really care one way or the other.

- VANTEL


Yeah, I didn’t expect much either. Kept my expectations real low. After today, I see an exact same Canuck team as it was before the deadline just a little cheaper and tad bit younger.

They might sign Karlsson and Lammikko (mostly because he'll be relatively cheap and is a good 4C), but I think they will be looking to get rid of Miller and Bo simply because those two are the "core" and the reason the team is where it is right now. I agree with whoever said that Hughes/EP40 are complimentary pieces. We need someone like a Bedard or not even at that level/draft prestige but at least a MacKinnon or Matthews that can drive play and elevate the team around them when necessary and can grow with the Peteys, QH's and Demkos.

Still not sold on them but two nice pickups for sure and Igor is obviously capable of stealing games

Rational is a 4 letter word when it comes to many of the fanbase.

Probably right, each fan base has the same types of people.

Like them or not idc but Leaf fans are head of the class on most all things.

Learn tons from them about the ins & outs of the cap. They do like their whipping boys but that's a given & we join in with them. 😂😂

We can certainly agree that either group is smarter than the fanbases of both AB teams put together

He just isn't as good as some make him out to be. He hits though and that adds at least 2 rounds more value for most in here. Just like Schenn. You gotta pay extra for that toughness. It doesn't matter his hockey skills are lacking.

I helped Loady out a bit last week. 5-7. It seems my scoring falls off only when I match up against the 4 ahead of me. If not then goalies shat da bed. My team is solid but a bubble team like our Nucks but I WILL make the PO’s.

Very true but it’ll take some time to retool the build.
