They got their coach and general manager fired also.

They did indeed. Can't wait for the tear down this summer.

Same number of goals as Dermott, and probably way less impact of a goal as well

Someone brought a Myers Chaos Giraffe sign to the game last night

I was reading the other day about how many signs are at games now a days. Used to be a few little kids with signs, now it's adults asking players for sticks, pucks, shin guards and the left or right glove.

Ya I find that a bit strange, asking for poop from players. Autographs, sure.. kids and pucks, ya... but sticks and other equipment? That's weird from adults.

Daniel Wagner
@passittobulis
Jim Benning was an absolutely awful GM and deserves approximately zero credit and I will not apologize for that stance.

The players themselves absolutely deserve a ton of credit for overcoming the shoddily constructed roster they were placed into.



Budd Jacket
@BuddJacket
LMAO! This is some incredible mental gymnastics.

Bad start to the season: "It's not the players fault. Blame the GM who assembled this horrible team!"

Great turnaround to the season from the same players: "Credit to the players, but the GM was still awful!"
🤦‍♂️😂 #Canucks


Wagner is an absolute moron.

He still brings up things JB said 6 years ago. If anyone to was ever bring up his tweets and how bad they would have turned out. It might break twitter from laughter.

Heard Drance compare re-signing JT Miller to Loui Eriksson on 650 today.

I know there's a risk in signing veterans to long-term contracts, but come on. Miller is going to exceed 90 points this season. We shouldn't be constantly fearing this type of extreme worst case scenario.


Better trade him. Anyone over 30 should be traded. Signed to contracts 1 year in length and under 900k

Ya that's a terrible take, but I still believe a really great haul from trading Miller would set this team up better/for longer than keeping Miller would.

Drance is full of them.

I still can't find this great haul evidence that teams get for players like that.

The best players in the trades always comes from the draft picks team get.

Vladislav Namestnikov · $1,937,500
Brett Howden · $894,166
Libor Hájek · $0 (AHL/JR)
2018 1st round pick (TBL - #28 - Nils Lundkvist)
2019 2nd round pick (TBL - #58 - Karl Henriksson) [Conditional]*

Look what he was traded for last time and Mcdonough

That was basically a cap dump and tank trade for NYR

Probably because players like that rarely, if ever, get traded?

the Chicago Blackhawks acquired defenceman Seth Jones, a 2021 first-round pick (Nolan Allan) and a 2022 sixth-round pick from the Columbus Blue Jackets for Adam Boqvist, a 2021 first-round pick (Cole Sillinger), 2021 second-round pick, and 2022 or 2023 first-round pick.


JTM is better than Jones, but top prospect, 12 OA pick, 2nd rounder, and another 1st

Vancouver trades Jonathan Tanner Miller to the Dallas Stars.

For

Jamie Benn (1.5 retained), Dallas 1st in 2022, 2nd in 2023, Ty Dellandrea, and Artem Grushnikov.

Chicago dumb to not top 10 protect themselves this year. They also traded the last pick of the first round and a meaningless 6th round pick. Then gave out that albatross contract to Jones

You don't want picks back for Miller though.

But he's physical and BC born. Fights. Fights. Did I say fights. Signed for the coming years. Show Podz how to be a power forward plus fight.

I don't want just picks back for Miller. Happy with a 1st plus whatever else, would like them to get the meat of the deal in young players/prospects, rather than just 3 1sts and 2 2nds kind of thing.
