Guys worth a 3rd or 4th at the deadline. Monnohands got a first and a third. Which guy between him and Dowd will better suited to help his club win playoff games? Maybe the Oilers go for Dowd to play the hardest minutes on PK and D zone draws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 21 minutes ago, Gawdzukes said: Well I'm not 100% but aren't some players offered contracts, and some aren't right away, even if they're quite good? There are a lot of factors involved like time until they turn pro, age, intentions, league they're in, etc.? Funny thing I don't recall hearing anything when this was supposed to have happened. Yeah, wasn’t any buzz around it - and for a prospect getting that kind of hype we’d have heard something if he was legitimately not going to sign here. If he holds out from Calgary maybe I’ll buy this was a real factor in moving him but as it stands this is just a yarn fans who fall too hard for our prospects are using to cope with his trade.

No need to cope. We got a great player and all it cost was a pile of beans. HB is not an NHLer. Too small, too slow, and unwilling to play the right way. We gave up nothing in this trade. It would have cost us at least a first just to off load Kuz Missile’s contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see anywhere that he signed it afterwards. “Brzustewicz has yet to sign his entry-level deal; it's fair to assume, however, that it may come during the team's training camp, depending on how well he does.” I read that as, he wasn’t offered one. “Depending on how well he does” hints that he had yet to earn it. I was looking it up and CHL players don’t get their salaries but do get their signing bonuses and maybe 10k or something. So who knows - maybe he was quibbling over trying to get a few bucks. In the long run, he’s leaving money on the table not signing right away but he could always do it later and it still burns this season as far as I know. As I said before, I’d be fairly surprised if he signs with Calgary that he wouldn’t have done so here. He’s got a long way to go before he needs to be concerned with jockeying with Hughes for PP time - and we actually don’t have anyone in the AHL or prospect pool blocking his development in the minors. Willander likely plays college and jumps right to NHL - and he’s not a high profile PP guy anyways. Still seems pretty unlikely that’s the reason we moved him. He’s just the high profile enough, yet expendable piece that gets the deal done. IMO of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks curse Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 10 hours ago, The Lock said: So much can happen between now and the end of the season. I get all the questions regarding who to sign and who to let go, but a lot of scenarios can happen between now and when this stuff actually matters. Totally we might worry about too many UFAs but PA has said repeatedly that he sees it as having cap flexibility bruster will likely just sign with an American team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-68 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Apologies if this or something similar was already posted, I haven't read every single page. Came across this, The interesting bit is that this is a down year for Elias L according to the stats gurus, which bodes very well should he pick up his game. If EL also elevates Petey's even further that it is already well, now that would be damn fine ...!!!! Including this year, EL is ahead of JT on goals and not that far of JT or the Alien in points. Be interesting to see other metrics as a comparison for the three across the same time period, a project for another day. Moral - it appears EL is a pretty good player and the Canucks now have several legitimate centers for the Top 6 to play bingo balls with depending on what Tocchet wants to do.

Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted February 5 Popular Post Share Posted February 5 I kind of had no choice in my stroke. It first was temporary vertigo. Stupidly drove home from work, it would come and go. I thought it was an inner ear infection or something. Went to sleep at noon. Woke up next morning. And the world wouldn't stop spinning. Crawled to the bathroom. Brush my teeth. Washed up a little. Couldn't even hold down water. I knew then I was in crap. Called 911. I had to wait 90 minutes as there was a big accident on the oak st. bridge. 911 operator kept calling me back with updates. I changed (Should have packed my knapsack but oh well.) Paramedics were awesome. They walked me downstairs. The two discussed should I go to VGH or Richmond General. The one paramedic said if they took me to Richmond General they'd probably give me some tylenol and send me home. So VGH it was. Took me about a week to be able to use a walker, but I could walk about 20 feet. Took me 4 months to learn how to walk again without poles. I'm fully recovered. Only real issue is if you look close one pupil is slightly wider than the other. Take it slow, and keep plugging away. 1 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
