Popular Post Bardown Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 (edited) 17 minutes ago, cusm said: It's astonishing how little credit is given to our team by so many people here. As if they hadn't already earned that trust. I'm fine with keeping our young and wild and picks. The same people who screamed about Benning giving up picks and prospects are now complaining that Allvin and Rutherford didn't do the same.... Some people just like to complain Edited March 8 by Bardown 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 23 minutes ago, RU SERIOUS said: I agree with Big "Z" and laffery -BUT- I'd hardly call the Lind-deal a "Darrell's Deal" after giving up: 1) A very valuable 2024 first-round pick (especially after we gave away our 2nd, 3rd/or 4th and 5th round this year) 2) Another conditional fourth-round/possibly 3rd round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft 3) A 40 goal, 70+ point Kuzmenko 4) Badly needed Defenseman prospect Hunter Brzustewicz 5) and Defenseman prospect Joni Jurmo - both of which we are so short of and have been for years! 6) PA's reputation as a savvy trade maker! 20 minutes ago, Dom said: 1) Weak draft & a late first round pick 2) Once again, a weak draft 3) Sure he puts up points, but he can't defend to save his life. 4) Disagree he is ' badly ' need as we have D Petey/Willander/Kudryavstev/Woo/Hirose/McWard 5) Jurmo isn't even that good lol I respect your point of view but that's the type of "explaining away the value of things" that Jim Benning used for almost a decade that left our cupboards empty. So far PA/JR have traded away 7 draft picks away over just the next 3 years - after he said he would not do that" and it's starting to get awefully similar to the old regime. This year alone we have NO 1st, No 2nd, No 3rd/or 4th (The conditional pick to Calgary) and No 5th. How are we suppossed to keep rebuilding our meager prospect pool with that kind of long term management? I hope like you, that all this selling of assets pays off but if it doesn't, we'll be no better than the last regimes we suffered through - for over a decade as we've all seen and lived thru "short-term" thinking and it's pitfalls for far too long!

It's literally one of the weakest drafts in a long time, I get that we have no picks, but that really shouldn't make you that upset. We kept the prospect pool intact. Podz/Raty/Bains/Lekkerimaki/D Petey/Willander/Karlsson it's not like our prospect pool is empty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've made the playoffs twice in roughly ten years, forgive me for not expecting a core that's relatively inexperienced regarding playoffs to not waltz straight to a cup after a few years of missing the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 21 minutes ago, Pinot Noir said: Patriks favourite word today is hope. hope isn’t a strategy. Hoping Brisboi can fill in in the playoffs is a fool’s errand. Wolainen was good for us when called upon, Hirose looked poised last year, Irwins a vet, Mcward, Woo, Johansen, Friedman has some competition for the #8 spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long as a deal is in place can happen.Smaller details have to be ironed out.So you submit a trade at 2:58 could take 40 mins to complete.

The Lock Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just now, stawns said: It is when they haven't played in the post season yet. You can't just force the playoffs to happen early in order to prove this is not a "Cinderella team". We have the information we have and we'll find out later on in the playoffs if what we have is enough for a run. Even so, I don't see the point in thinking this is some Cinderella team. Have some hope dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Man Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 13 minutes ago, OldFaithfulcap said: I say bring it. Vegas has no heart this year. We showed we can beat them with structure. Edmonton we can keep their scorers quieter and demko over skinner Colorado are tough but top heavy and we kept their big guns off the board when we were struggling and i think we can go up levels against them. They panicked and added guys and their chemistry will suffer. Florida's good, but our center depth is building up. We'll be ready. Screw 'em. I wonder how many extra points Colorado gets every year thanks to the altitude of their home rink? Home ice advantage should be huge against that team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyman109 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Again if there wasnt a deal to be made im ok with that Edmonton didnt get a Goalie so Im less worried about them i the playoffs. Once Joshua and Myers are back I will feel good about our depth going into the Playoffs. The playoffs can be about who you dont play as much as who you do. If We played Nashville , then Edmonton then Colorado we most likely have a better result than if we played St Louis, Vegas, Winnipeg. No matter who you get you have to go through that team. The leafs fans learned that lesson last year with he we want Florida Chants. Its going to be fun to see the white towels again. I hope we can hang on for the conference. Love to have home ice for the playoffs. Go Canuck Go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 26 minutes ago, Grandmaster said: It’s called negotiation. Who says you got to send a dramatic raise on that offer? A 2nd 3rd and a 4th would have done it. Maybe... we just don't know... But then we wouldn't have any picks this year (of value) or next year bar the 1st... Do you think Toffoli would put this team over the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
