Comedy BRONZE Vancouver - redux

[forty_three]

what would be so canucks is that we trade him for a low return and he signs with that team for less money than the canucks offered him. showing he just wanted out no matter the cost

We call that the Johnny Gaudreau.


Minus the trade part

Bo's definitely scoring more goals right now than Duchene did that year (or any year before he exploded out of nowhere last season) but points-wise pretty similar.

They did this all winter last year in thinking they were trading Miller. Then the potential returns were apparently so underwhelming that they ended up keeping him. Then the media folks pilloried them for not taking any offer lol

How many rentals actually get traded for 1st rounder/Good prospect/NHL-ready player? Have any?

for the first part, Bo is much more than just the points he gets.
special teams faceoffs, he has taken 226.
the next highest? 15.

A key reason why I want him, but I have no faith that he'd get those quality reps under Larsen. We'd need to get Jenner and/or Roslovic out of his way. And I can't imagine Vancouver actually *wanting* either of them.

Plus Jackets fans would riot if we sent Jenner anywhere. Like people would be angry if we traded him for McDavid.

Looks like Batch is either smelling bad meat or good cheese.

More like the facial expression of someone finding out that Brendan Batchelor is only 33 years old

Nothing you can do when ownership and management want to go this route. Maybe you get lucky and squeak into the playoffs and win a round or two - all while mortgaging at least 4-5 years of the near future. You’ve got to bottom out to rebuild and if you don’t go that route you’ll be just as irrelevant as the middle of the road Mn mild have been for a decade plus now.

I wont pay for this mediocre approach. I stopped paying when they hired Torts. I was a ticket holder going back to Keenan/Messier Days. When they signed Torts I knew FA was not serious about the future as that was the time to blow it up. We have not recovered since

Surprising stat of the night

The last 100 minutes on HNIC the Canucks have scored zero goals.

They are a absolute farce of an NHL quality team and because they have beat a bunch of shit teams and struggling teams the ownership will not give up on the playoffs.

It's not a great time to be a fan of a Canadian team in the Pacific Division.
