filthy animal Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 20 minutes ago, PureQuickness said: It's good that people remember the history. The Gillis empty cupboard era is a shockingly bad period of time that many Canuck fans have willingly chosen to forget. The Gillis period did a lot of good things during that time, yet over the span of years that Gillis was in charge here, he couldn't even grab a significant goaltender or defensemen using a 2nd round pick or lower and that is beyond anything that can be excused. Gillis was a very flawed GM as was Benning. Neither of them are back at the helm for any NHL team for the near future. The JR/Allvin management has yet to reveal how good they are with player development, but it is a promising period that we DO have some exciting players in our pipeline. I'm very high on D Pettersson, for example. He had an outstanding Swedish presence in the WJC. And while that in itself is no guarantee of success, it is still something worth mentioning for now. Gillis, on the other hand, was primarily focused on drafting perceived "NHL ready" players with low ceilings. When those ceilings were missed, you essentially had dud players. Lol seriously? People are willing to forget an era of winning division titles, president trophies, making it to the playoffs and creating a huge buzz in the city? Hardly. Did u watch the playoffs in the bar, rogers or with buddies? Wait, let me rephrase that, were you even INVITED out to watch the game in general. You know that buzz in the city, people crowding the streets, bars etc? thats normal in the Gillis era You know what will people forget though, 8 years of trash that your boy Benning fed the city, finishing near bottom every year. Not only did we have an empty cupboard by the end of it, but were finishing near last and near capped out If your so confident on your answer on which era the fans in this forum will forget, make a poll of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner is an obvious target but perhaps PA pulls Necas out of the hat or someone that none of the pundits are screaming about at the top of their lungs while pounding the lectern with their collective shoes. Exciting times my fellow Canucks fans, exciting times indeed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCanuck12 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 What if, the only reason they made this deal was to create cap space to resign Bleuger.......?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 2 minutes ago, 24K said: 2 2nd for 9.5 million cap space? Not bad actually. Stillman became Josh Bloom who just scored the game winning goal in the memorial cup. What he becomes might change the landscape of these trades too. He could end up having the value of a 2nd if he doesn’t already. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-68 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) 24 minutes ago, 24K said: 2 2nd for 9.5 million cap space? Not bad actually. Purely on numbers, a player picked in the 2nd round has a 1 in 3 chance of playing 100 or more games in the NHL. Add to that metric the odds of being an impact player and the odds go off a cliff ... not too bad an outcome especially with the benefit of hindsight and where we are today with a window wide open to pick up a Cup or two (one can hope) in the very near future. Now spend the cap space wisely PA / JR.

aGENT Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 29 minutes ago, Ghostsof1915 said: I would like to point out. It's time Podz, Hogs, Lek, Woo, or anyone else from Abby to take the reins this training camp and grab a job or two or three. And just have a solid and productive season. We need low cost options going forward. We shouldn't be relying on UFA's. Those ELC's fill in gaps for cheap around key UFA's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Its good I guess, if we are big game hunting for Guentzel. But this is another Dickenson deal with a 2nd rounder out the door for what.. 2 years of salary for a guy making less than Garlund ? The Dickenson deal turned out pretty bad but everyone loved it at the time. Whatever. Push the chips in I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I'm just glad it is a 2027 2nd. Probably needed to retain to get that kicked down the line to 2027 instead of 2025 where we really need that 2nd round currency to swing deadline deals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Just now, Blue said: Watch the Hawks get a fully healed Mik up and running and traded to a contender again for picks. He will be the next one lifting the cup. Hawks are more than two years from being that competitive. Just now, Blue said: But if we get Guetzel I guess its fine Or one of the best d groups in the league, and some less flashy wingers. It's hard to know where this goes but at least w have real opportunities now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
