Nucker67 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 minute ago, PhillipBlunt said: These are trades that have occurred within this season. Trades that improved the team. Alvin got ahead of the insanity that is the trade deadline to acquire key pieces for the team. He paid (probably) less than he would have today for the same player. Imagine the bidding war that a beast like Zadorov would have had? There's no way he would go for the 3rd and 5th Alvin acquired him for in November. Even the package for Lindholm would have increased. It was a very smart move by Allvin to make the big moves (Zadorov and Lindholm) early, although, the cost for Lindholm was high. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with probably 10 teams angling to trade for him in the last few days, the price for Lindholm would probably have been far greater. He looked solid yesterday. Very comfortable and playing his astute defensive game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but in the end Toffoli chose to go to Winnipeg over LA, Vancouver, and a few other teams he had familiarity with. I'm sure Alvin made every attempt, but you can't force a player, agent, or GM to accept a trade proposal. Source that TT wanted winnipeg?

canuckster19 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Some of our fans see the idiots from other teams saying we're screwing up by not doing anything, seriously, why do some of you seek validation from fans of other teams? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bane Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I'll be content with a Kessel signing at this point. Look at his Edge NHL stats, he can still fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bardown Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 (edited) Isn’t it amazing to see a management team that doesn’t get enamoured with players they “like” and make bad trades to get them? Isn’t it great to see a management team that sets a strategy and sticks to it, ie build from within and retain high value prospects and not risk a much longer cup window for one run? Ie not short term thinking I’m very impressed with this management team and know they will get us to a cup. they know we’re a top team as is. They understand it takes a few runs to be ready to win a cup, this isn’t the time to shove all in, it will be in 2-3 years. Go Canucks go and hey, the way they play they can take anyone. Just have to play our system. plus we have Joshua and Meyers back next week. it will be a fun run regardless!

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 7 minutes ago, Zimmyparttwo said: Lots of “disappointment” today. Many posters seem tied into knots because of the lack of action/moves. The angst is palpable. Everybody is loading up - we’re in big trouble now! You know where there is likely no disappointment? Inside our dressing room. I see a tight group of teammates who are playing for each other (and for future employment) and now can push forward vigorously with the group we have. There’s something to be said about honouring those relationships and trusting the cohesion that has been established. What’s wrong with saying and believing that “we’re good enough already”? People also forget that this team already made big moves in January and February. Zadorov and Lindholm were huge acquisitions and done early with the purpose of acclimating them quickly into our system and not waiting to the eleventh hour to get them adjusted. We also added Friedman, Lafferty and DeSmith at the beginning of the season. JR and Allvin have done a lot to improve the depth of this team. Like you said, the team feels close nit now and we are seeing the chemistry forming before our eyes where now a lot of teams will have to figure out the mix now for themselves. Fans too can also see that adding a healthy Joshua and Myers back into the lineup as our deadline acquisitions too. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
