As others mentioned, I would have even been happy with just taking on some salary for a pick or low end prospect. Just do SOMEthing with the cap space

If the Marchand trade happens with retention, it will be the only trade to have done that all day. Might not have been enough of a return for them to do it, and that's something I can definitely seeing Aqua step in and say no to ($$$$$)

TRADE: Blackhawks acquire Shea Weber's contract


- NewYorkNuck

This stuff is so dumb. Such an advantage to those that are able to leverage and only a few scenarios exist at any given time. Should be considered circumvention.

Wonder if they got approval from Quinn to stand pat?

On the plus side, if we play Winnipeg in the first round, there will be a guaranteed Canadian team in the second! (And one of the good ones)

This! I've said for a long time it's going to take an all canadian cup final for cup drought in canada to end.

Garland?

Fair enough.
It is bad optics though.

Now we're 'hoping' that Quinn/Thatcher can come back and save the season, while most of the better teams further improved at the deadline.

I am not used to seeing you post so many comments about being disappointed with this organization.
Welcome aboard

Yeah but unlike you, I actually like this team and try to see positives or at least logic in most of their decisions. I don't turn my back & give up on players as willynilly as you either. But I watch every game () and you and I know that this current team is gonna luck/limp its way into the playoffs and then get steamrolled in round one.

They had to make better decisions on Brock, Suter, Forbert and even maybe Sherwood, Bluegar, Garland & Demko. They accomplished nothing. They should be loading up on picks every year. Our prospect cupboard is nearly empty and we're not a good, consistent, or well balanced team - so we should be always thinking one step ahead in terms of future consisderations (drafting, acquiring picks) - weaponizing CAP FAWKING SPACE at bare minimum.

Disapointing day to see them drop the ball so horribly.

Fair enough.

I don't want the season saved, I want a top 10 pick.

Keep looking for the positives, if you find any let us know.

Daniel Sprong has escaped purgatory in the PNW and is joining the NJ Devils?

0% chance of that.

This is Alvins attitude and I've been admittedly kinda shocked how much praise and faith he has in "our younger players" - he either knows something we don't or he's dilusional. Cus yeah, we have some decent kids stepping in/up but not really to the extent that they're winning us games. They're constrinuting, but not enough to rely on them to help us make a legit playoff push Unrealistic expectations.

That offer has been pulled, offer him 3/5m. He can't even drive his own offense.
- A_SteamingLombardi

I hope they don't re-sign him.
Shit asset management today.

I don't disagree with you on most of this, I think my positivity got kicked out of me during the Benning years, now continued on by this group.

Serioulsy? You can't name any? not even one?

Well we haven't lost Hughes yet.

I hope they don't re-sign him.
Shit asset management this decade.

Fixed

Are you also going to stop commenting here about them?
- NorthNuck

No: someone needs to bully dweebs like you

Awesome - you can further show your support by not coming around here anymore.

I mean if you're a man of your word and you really wanna stick it to Aqua, back up your word with actions!

Take care bro!!

You are such a p$ssy lol

Sounds like spin to me, once again 'hoping' that things turn out positively.
Obviously PA is not much of a history buff.

Well…I’m out, this organization will never win anything, ever!! But I’ll continue to have pleasant conversations with y’all.

When is that going to start? Or are you trying already? Because no one takes you seriously

Hey now.
Speak for yourself.
Personally, I am patiently waiting for Don's next unexpected meet-up with Canucks players in the parking garage of Roger's arena.
