Actually its for Ivan Barbashev...
I always get them two mixed up

Carolina also not afraid to let them go when their prime is past.

Also an extremely well run team. Tampa and Detroit as well are up there. Bruins obviously LA. Lots of very well run teams.

Wrong. Canucks fans are the worst fans. I am one. We are brutal fans
- Jkuzzi

Nah, you guys at least watch the games and can fill an arena. That keeps you far from being the worst, noisier lol, but not the worst

Do you like the Kravtsov trade? Sure. Hope he pans out, no bigs.
Who do you think the Canucks will trade before the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline passes? Schenn, Boeser and hopefully Garland.
What was your response to seeing Ullmark's goal? I was happy for the kid.

This place has become infested with Leaf's ref's.

I just enjoy talking hockey. I like the Kravtsov trade. Makes sense. I look forward to seeing Canucks sell a few guys too

Be nice to see Miller Garland Myers gone. Id like to keep Schenn but if we can recoup a pick all good. Can always sign Schenn again. He ain't doing much to protect the players right now anyways.

You’re just here for the Schenn.

Unbelievable how much press this guy gets every TDL.

As much as I hate the Leaf's and the city, you're actually a pretty good guy.

I hope Kravstov works out, now is the time to get him in the lineup.

If VAN can move Boeser & Schenn I'd consider that a win. Calgary?

Good on you, I also like the trade and Lockwood was never going to make the Canucks.

Hopefully a few more trades and either a 2nd for Schenn or a re-sign.

‘I just enjoy talking hockey’

I do also but me saying that in the Leafs thread gets at least a few all panties bunched up. At least a few in there engage on hockey.

I like the Kravtsov trade. Lockwood had chances but never looked like he’d stick in the NHL. No risk trade.

Winger logjam makes the farm more competitive but some have to go.

Him having to go back to Toronto would be so damn unfair to him

There would literally still be fans who still see him as a failed 5th overall

*shakes head*

Lol sadly this isn’t even incorrect

Just here to chat hockey is all.

I think the nucks have made the right choices as to how they decided to finish up this year… feel bad for Boudreau but my first name is also Bruce so I may be a touch biased there lol

Nice to see you are out and about.

Can you do me a favour and ban those 2 Leafs fans.

Everyone loved Bruce, that was embarrassing the way the team handled that.

Tochett needs to keep playing the young guys. Management needs to move some more players out by summer. Long ways to go.

All joking aside there's some good ones that have been coming in here for years.

Toronto, Calgary & Boston for me. Just hate those teams. It especially annoys me that the Leafs tanked and they’ve had a competitive team since. Their fans and media are one of the worst things in the sporting world.
- LeftCoaster

Seriously - we all have teams we hate and teams we love to hate. It's par for the course. But in terms of the tanking aspect - where do you think Vancouver is? I think they're on the wrong side of retooling, so a scorched Earth rebuild - keeping Petterson, Hughes and Demko, as the principal points, is in their best interest. If they keep Schenn or Myers or whomever to provide guidance, leadership, protection, etc. - that's all cool - but in reality, Vancouver is well into tank territory, I'd think.

I mean when Shanahan came along, the Leafs had been awful forever - and in particular since failing to prepare for the post-lockout capped world - and they had less than nothing to consider for a retool - so a full-on rebuild was the only solution - and yet it took them over a decade to figure it out.

For fair context, a friend of mine lives (now) on Gabriola Island, and when he still lived here I'd follow the Canucks with him - particularly back in the Naslund times - and always felt they were Cloutier-away from being a cup contender.

Realistically, the Canucks aren't there yet - but when you've put so many band-aids on that they start to fall off of other band-aids, you need to just start over.

Also makes trading Garland and Boeser more palatable.

Nice goal
