That is what I was asking for. I hope you at least understand where I'm coming from when I'm asking for proof. I'm not just saying no to things. I just want to see proof before I believe something. This at least shows that we might have not been able to sign HB anyway. Before this, I had no way of really believing it other than if you interpret a single statement in a certain way... which, in a courtroom, wouldn't do well. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Kind of my story too. I had a small one a couple days before that wasnt detected by a cscan when I went to ER. So when the big one hit i kind of thought it was an inner ear vertigo kind of thing. It was a soild4 hours of not knowing up from down and puking. But given the cscan I thought I was ok. All things considered I got lucky, im functioning pretty well and my brain is working well......my speech is slow and sounds like I'm drunk Feels like I both lost and won on the same lottery ticket 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't have time to search for the proof but in the end it was a lot easier than bickering. It's all small potatoes when you look at the big picture. We got great value for what was a 3rd round pick 7 months ago. Textbook case of pick the BPA and you can always move them for what you need in the future. Will be interesting to see if he signs with Calgary, even though they are our rivals I would hate to see the kid pull a fox 2.0 on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a bit of that, a lot of wanting Lindholm and some of the likelihood Hronek+Willander will be taking RD1 and RD2 until 2030 or longer. Not to mention PP1 is Quinns as long as he is here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 4 minutes ago, Life of a Canuck said: I want TnT = Toffoli and Tanev Well Toffoli is in the final year of his contract and playing for a Devils team under the playoff line. The question I'd have is how would we get both Tanev and Toffoli when the 2 of them combined is going to cost around 8.5mil in cap space? Would it be Mikeyev and Myers? Would the other teams even want to accept that back? Seems like we'd have to pay a little more if it's the other teams doing us favours and where's the point where it starts coting too much just to bring back a couple of former Canucks?

Life of a Canuck Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 On 1/31/2024 at 11:47 PM, Googlie said: Why Calgary traded with Vancouver ... Yup… Savvy experienced trade by Canucks, with a rookie GM. Craig Conroy had the right idea of his asking price. 1. A roster player 2. A First round pick 3. A top prospect 4. A promising possible prospect. 5. the rest= Smoke and mirrors I am certain the Canucks selected a package of players that fulfilled this criteria with the advantage of knowing who they would be willing to part with, and with also with knowing which players have inflated perceived value to maximize leverage to meet the minimum required to make this deal happen. 1. To me, the biggest loss was Kuzmenko (Only because I am a fan of this person.) Not necessarily the player. This is business, and right hockey decision. 2. LOSING THE DRAFT PICK….Really a 2nd rounder 3. Losing prospect Brz(Fantastic at his current level, but possibly tops out at this level. Doubtful to make the NHL? ) I trust Canuck brass with their selections and offering to fulfill Craig Conroys requirements. They did their homework on a perceived acceptable pkg. 4. The rest -assets that were uber long shots to make it, or were not going to be re-signed possibly anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect any other major moves. I think it's important to realize that even without the trade of Lindholm this team was already very good. 1st in the entire league. Too many additions could really hurt that dressing room, and the right mix on the roster. So I think from here on out, management wants to see how they play (Tuesday against the Hurricanes and on this road trip), and if they need to make further minor tweaks, particularly to the backend. Playoffs are going to be a grind, right. Lots of physical play with the whistles being put away. They'll need depth for sure on the backend. Hopefully the forwards can remain relatively healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure went from 10 to 96, then changed back because he struggled under that number. Kuzmenko had one good year in #96. Then next year he gets traded? And the only other player to wear 96? Adam Gaudette. Yes!!! I agree, man. I had a pare of underwear i wore in high-school that had a hand written 96 on it. It was supposed to really be 69, but my dyslexic girl friend goofed when she wrote the number. The long story short is the day after she wrote the number, I got jock itch wearing this very pare of under-wear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved one negative asset (Kap Dump Kuzzy) two highly unlikely nhl prospects, a tiny magic bean, and a very late first for Calgary’s all star, Selke level, first line, right shot centre.

Every team in the league can still improve somewhere, but by far our biggest need was a top 6 rhc. We could still improve via waivers for some depth, teams making moves might put some decent players on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention PP1 is Quinns as long as he is here. It was exactly that. Across Benning and Allvin+Rutherford, the Canucks have managed to build their defence core for the future. Brzustewicz is an offensive defenceman. Hughes will lead that role for the next decade. Not to mention Hronek is also fully capable of quarterbacking a powerplay and Willander is expected to fill out the rest of the right side on defence. Given all that, you might as well sell high on Brzustewicz while he's being hyped up because of his crazy stat line so far in his draft+1 year. This isn't a slight on Brzustewicz, he can very well become Calgary's future powerplay quarterback - he fills a positional need for them. And that is a big reason why this deal was a win-win for both teams. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder in trades that involve non first round pick juniors (lesser known talents that maybe hadn’t been scouted at all by the receiving team) does the receiving team mostly rely on stat lines and a game or two look? at least the first rounders have lots of eyes on them and professional players play 3-4 times a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
