NoCupSyndrome Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 IMHO lock up the D and then spread the available funds over a number of forwards...I think there will be some solid players looking for prove me deals when all the dust settles. Van will be desirable after the boost the team gave DJ, Blueger, Lindholm, etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maniwaki Canuck Posted June 20 Popular Post Share Posted June 20 Big Z and Joshua did a lot to define this team last year and we wouldn't be as good without them. I get that we can't overpay them and that Petey needs a suitable winger. But Zadorov + Joshua + Duclair (or similar) gives more bang for the buck than Guentzel + spare parts. The bet has to be that in a couple of years, Lekkerimaki becomes something close to Guentzel. Meanwhile, let's maintain the team's tougher identity. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a better place when working class people weren't pushed out to the periphery and there was still unionized seasonal work. Not an issue for players making millions of dollars a year, but it changed the tone of the place for the worse. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vong's Chinese Kitchen, Carlos and Buds, Le Crocodile, Bishops (maybe some of those are still around, but I highly doubt it.) A&B Sound. Not Just Another Music Shop. The Aristocrat, The Sick and Twisted film festival at the Ridge. The Capitol 6 and Granville 7. I walked down Granville a month ago, and it was legitimately depressing to see and smell what it's become. Reeked of urine.

I still have my doubts he'll make the jump right away, physically hes still pretty small, he'll be too easy to push around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
