We got a 4th for Motte bro. Think of how easily you can use that to get another Dermott

Speaking of, has there been any update on him? I forgot he was even on the team until I was looking at Capfriendly today, be nice to have him back.

I was one who wasn't thrilled with the hiring, but said I would wait until after the draft, toooo see the direction this group was going to go.
Needless to say, I wasn't impressed with the draft, even though they went with BPA.

I like Rutherford but maintained from the onset he ain't here to build no 3-time cup champ team like in PIT nor does he have a Crosby-Malkin-Letang to build with. You can hit/miss with those players no so much here lol.

Allvin jury is still out but again we knew he had the big scouting background very similar to Benning but almost zero GM experience. Everyone wanted experience but seemed fine with the Allvin hire.

A loss tonight probably means a trade. You can bet Rutherford has been on the phone since 8am today take it to the bank.

week-to-week but apparently he's started working out more intensely this week according to Bruce.

But with a concussion who knows, he could feel fine and then play a game and go right back on IR again

If I recall correctly, you were leading the charge, in not wanting those 1st 4 you listed.
- Reubenkincade

I wanted Edler Tanev gone for sure and still maintain it was the right thing for the country club. Healthy we were fine last year without them. I wasn't a huge Stecher whiner like most and D!cki I know was oft-injured but he was serviceable. Point was we had players in place.

I know right? Just think we would never be out of rainbow tape in the change room.

Looks to be generational but what I've seen thus far tells me he's not McDavid level. Could be wrong however. lol

Probably time to get the Boeser for Dumba rumors going again.

Never really got why people were against that.... I would have done that immediately if it had been offered.

He doesn't do things at a million miles per hour like McDavid but he has a better shot.

@LH

As of right now Seattle's pick from Denver in the RW3 trade is 6-OA

- VanHockeyGuy


And Rypein looked as good as Wilson

If Geno keeps this up or win's MVP he's getting paid. Seattle will be sold in a couple of years and probably doesn't want a 20M+ QB at the moment. Pete's getting the most of his players now that Wilsons gone.

Hold on a minute you don't' actually believe he is in the conversation do you?

Because trading every top 6 player worked so well for EDM... We will have a high chance at Bedard and the top 5 is full of elite centres to replace Bo. Id trade Boeser before Miller if we can, and with his history we can probably trade him for a 1st to a couple bubble teams with cap space.

IF they could get a 1st for BB I would have to think he already would have been gone... if not this management group is worse then JB......

I’m not convinced that he has positive trade value by the end of this season. He’s slow, not physical and not a play driver. Who’s lining up to take that on for 6.65M for 2 more years after this one?

Not convinced? Lol no sh!t. We are adding a 1st to Brock to trade him. We simply can’t afford to keep him around for the next 3 years. Buy him out now and send a message to the rest of the slow cowards on the team

100% Agree. Maybe someone takes a chance for almost no return if we are lucky at this point. Would love to be wrong though...

Assuming we replaced them with the same or better Dmen...
Instead we got OEL at a higher price than the two combined.

I know many didn't like them, but adding those two to the current roster (especially at the price and term) and subtracting OEL, would make this roster better both in the short and long term.

Benning was a stupid (frank)ing moron.

The canucks are spending a fortune on front office personnel and yet they stock the coaching ranks with Cull, King, and Yeo? Good grief.
