Imagine Allvin comes out and pulls a Jim Benning

 

" we ran out of time"

 

Lol. I could never call JB a moron again if PA inadvertently says that. 


I’m okay without last minute scrabbling deals because PA did his trading weeks ago.  Would have been nice to land more depth pieces but I sure like it better to say we’ve already made our deals than “we ran out of time”

And after Podz we got Räty and Karlsson that plays good in AHL.

If we are really desperate due to injuries Lekkerimäki can come in as a cluster bomb and surprise everybody…

 

I am a fan of creating strong internal competition.  That’s how you build a high compete culture

It'll be the "the prices were more than we were willing to pay" ....

 

And well it should be.  They spent their expendable assets during the season.  Dealing today would have meant at least one of the top 5 prospects

Lindholm

Zadorov

Laffery

 

And didn't pay a premium tdl price for any of them.  I'd say it was a good day for the Canucks today

And Friedman

DeSmith

 

since September

They sure looked unimpressive last night.  On WC2 spot in danger of missing the playoffs.  

I agree, they're trying to salvage the playoffs at this point

This does have potential to backfire. Hertl will need to fit in cap wise the following year, a player, or players will need to go. Heck he may not even play this season, or be effective. Hope this blows up for them

As I said, I've never been a fan of hertl

We are betting heavy that Leki can come in and be a black ace for Pettey. 

You think a young skinny finesse player with zero experience in North America is our playoff ace?

Guesses as to what Allvin says:

 

1. We already made our moves early

2. Looked at other players, prices were too high - don't want to sacrifice future

3. We like our team as is, don't want to mess up chemistry

4. No truth to other rumors, happy with Lindholm

5. Joshua and Myers coming back is a form of deadline addition

Are Woo and a 5th round pick too valuable to acquire Peeke with some retained $?

 

Well, it's too late, baby now

It's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside just died

and I can't hide

and I just can't take it..

only the Kessel signing would have made today better

We have Podz, Bains, and soon Lekkerimaki coming (this season) . I'd rather have them gain some playoff experience than bring in some guy like Zucker etc...

 

We all complained about Benning's idiotic short term thinking, and now people are complaining that this management team stuck to their strategy of thinking about the mid and long term as well

 

if you're complaining that they didn't act like benning, you're a clown
