Popular Post Jester13 Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Just now, PhillipBlunt said: Drance's burner account confirmed. Ha, nope. I just like Drance's analytical mind to the game of hockey. I find his takes interesting and well-thought out. I also like his balance of sticking by his analysis and his ability to show humility when he's wrong or something changes. I'm able to accept his demeanor, as I see it as fire for the team and game, and I see past his cackle, his cutting people off to often, etc., and enjoy what he brings to this team and fanbase. What I don't like is when fans misrepresent his views and how they unnecessarily react to him, as it shows a lack of intellectual honesty and emotional intelligence. 3 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he would take a discount to stay on a winning team especially with the bonds he has made throughout the years He'll take less than he's making now, but not by a lot, imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll sign for Cole/Soucy money for 2-3 years and finish his career as a Canuck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rusty Shackleford Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 29 minutes ago, Jester13 said: Paywall. Thankfully, I know how to read things for free in the archive (shhhhh Drance: "If something even approximating this form can be maintained, if the Canucks can graft this level of control and this level of quality — their superstar-level skilled players making superstar-level skill plays and generating chances at a dizzying volume — onto a solid profile that’s been built around goaltending, strong forward depth and solid team-level defence, they will have a much higher ceiling than they seemed to have as recently as a month ago. If they can maintain that level of control at the top of the lineup, they might even have real staying power as an elite team, even as the inevitability of regression hits. If it holds, this might be a true contender-level side that should be bolstered aggressively ahead of the trade deadline. A wagon, in fact." These last few games, it seems like our guys are hitting another gear and becoming a great (i.e. elite) team, just as Drance acknowledges. It's important for all of us to remember - even Drance - that we have a new coaching staff, a lot of new players, and a completely new system. They got off to a great start because they came ready to play this year. They've had their stumbles along the way, but they're starting to hit their stride as the system becomes more second-nature. Drance is a smart dude. He knows the difference between good and great teams. We've seen a very good team this year, when they're on, but also a team that, at times, seemingly forget the details of what they're supposed to be doing. But Drance always gives credit when it is due, even so far as to say they might want to be big buyers this TDL. His demeanor rubs some fans the wrong way, but if only those fans could accept him for who he is (hard for some to do, apparently), as they'd see a rabid Canucks fan in him just like the rest of us. To me, Drance is the kind of friend you debate with about all kinds of things, but who you know is incredibly intelligent the entire time, even when you disagree with him; and in the end, he's still the friend you love and will stick up for no matter what - even though he can get on your nerves sometimes - because you know he's a true friend (i.e. a true Canucks fan). Can't read it cause all I hear in my head is whining. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best on the radio, but he finds the most obscure and interesting stats like for example just earlier today he’s said that no two Canucks have ever COMBINED for 100 points while Quinn is on pace for 100 by himself and with Hronek is on pace for 170 combined Edited January 10 by Rindiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusk Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 34 minutes ago, Outsiders said: You take the assets that you get from Myers and flip it towards the future asset you want longer term. Same as we did for Horvat. We aren't in a position yet to be letting valuable assets walk for free. Imagine had we gotten hauls for Mark, Tanev and Toff where those pieces would be now? In the Hronek trade we took the 1st and added our own 2nd. Myers (the way he's playing) should be traded for at least a 2nd and a solid prospect, potentially even a 1st!. We will then take the draft pick and attach our own pick/prospect like to OTT for Artem Zub who's 28yrs . 6'3 200. Something like Myer to contender for 2nd and prospect Zub to Van for 2nd (we acquired and Bains or another draft pick. Something like that) Zub is under control for 3 years after this one. We get value for a pending UFA who we won't sign to an extension and in turn get Zub who will be a big part of our team going forward. For cents on the dollar. Way cheaper to sign myers to a 3 or 4 year deal and keep our picks. Why you do all that for a player with less experience? Myers isnt going to be wanting 4 Mil on this next contract if he can get term. We get value to take us past OEL buyout hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MattJVD Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 17 minutes ago, canucks curse said: agree first time we have had a legit 1-7 NHL d corps since 2011 I don't think we have a legit #1 through #7 D at either time? In 2011 we did not have a #1 D man, but we had multiple #2 and 3 quality guys. When the playoffs started our bottom pair was Ballard/Rome - Salo. Salo would be the 3rd best D man on today's team and he was #5 on the depth chart in 2011. Today we have a Super star #1 D man, a good #2, but no #3. No anchor on the 2nd pairing. We have a bunch of #4/5 quality guys getting the bottom 4 minutes done by committee. Unless you just mean 7 legit NHL quality defensemen, then yes 100% in agreement haha 2 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzukes Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 42 minutes ago, Jaimito said: Lol Could easily be a first round matchup the way things are going. Although if the Oilers keep playing like this they'll be in the top 3 sooner than later. In fact I think they will definitely push either LA or Vegas down. Only 4 points back of LA, same number of games, and 8 back of Vegas, with 3 in hand. I'd be worried if I was a Vegas fan ... I guess we could get them in a first round matchup too.

I've been aware of him ever since his time creating Canucks Army, and he's always been a self-promoter over being an actual reporter. The difference between him and MacIntyre or Kuzma is noticeable. Consider Miller's response to him last week. Clearly Drunce is all in (much like the rest of CA) on the analytics train and has no applicable knowledge or experience otherwise to apply to his approach. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller would not say that to someone he respected. He did it polite and a bit funny but its still obvious but I mean why cant a team just be good? As it is? Why are people still speculating trades? We have a team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
