Thread: Fire Shanahan and Keefe FAST

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldManRutherford</b></div><div>Easy pass on Canucks offer.</div></div>

Just showing how stupid our management is none of these are real trades.
All mistakes we traded or waived or just thought we should not sign like Chycrun.
And some we never should have signed like Klingberg ,Bertuzzi and Reaves.

Thread: The rebuild

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldManRutherford</b></div><div>A few weeks ago I could see Canucks thinking about your offer but seeing they have Freidman now they need a better quality Dman .</div></div>

That's also way too much for him. I think he's probably negative value for the same reason Garland apparently is. No one wants the term. If you compare him to other off-season UFA's Holl, Soucy, Mikkola and Clifton, I really question him having trade value.

I actually agree with you, I would much rather them give schenn a 2 year deal south of 1.3 million. I just think this management group has fallen in love with Bear.

Canucks trade Bear for an older, worse, and more expensive player of the same position? Makes absolutely no sense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldManRutherford</b></div><div>I don't see them doing an OS. If they do in fact keep OEL I look at it as going backwards.

With OEL, you are hooped no matter what you do, maybe it is best to just cut bait with him.

Any interest in new drop zone sections that would improve your use?

Possibly Suspended, Suspended without pay, Non-Roster, etc?

Thread: Horvat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldManRutherford</b></div><div>To be fair to Horvat, in years past he did not have a great supporting cast. Comments on Canucks for years were that Bo needed decent wingers. If he plays with Garland and Podkolzin this year he should hit 30 goals again.</div></div>

I’m not questioning Horvat I think he is really good, but given COL’s cap situation I personally think Newhook at 50pts cost controlled and a 1st in a deep draft is worth more.

Thread: Theodore

Unfortunately for VAN, this is not enough. It's too much quantity, not enough quality in the package. And there really isn't a reason for Vegas to trade Theodore anyway; he's their #1 Dman and they're trying to stay competitive.

Thread: TDL trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyG420</b></div><div>If we can find a way to make it work (i.e., Poolman on LTIR for the foreseeable future) - I think we pull the trigger on such a deal any day of the week. Bear's acquisition cost is simply far too low for us not to make a move for him. If he has a great season and we cannot afford him - we have the luxury of having his rights, which would secure a return for us. This move could be made without taking a piece away from our forward group, which makes it all the more enticing.

OEL has been rumoured to be paired with Hughes to start the season, If so, this move is less likely to happen. However, if we managed to bring in Bear, I think we'd secure a wildcard berth.</div></div>

Never at the professional level. Though he is talented in enough no doubt to do whatever he wants really. Im not sure it helps the Canucks that much to move him there though unless Rathbone is ready to explode which could be the case.
