have you checked out the downtown eastside anytime in the last 30 years?

 

if you want to paint all of chicago with the brush of violence and criminality, you need to paint all of vancouver with the brush of addiction and homelessness. 

 

The dtes isn't "all" of Vancouver.

From Patrick Johnston of the Province:

 

Mikheyev deal an odd one

 

What, exactly, was Chicago doing in this deal? Sure, they got an under-contract winger in Mikheyev who will help them get to the salary floor and who at least won’t hurt them defensively, but the only price they extracted from the Canucks was a trade-up for a draft that’s three years away.

 

And, for some reason, the rights to pending unrestricted free agent Sam Lafferty.

 

The Canucks got off almost all of a contract that they didn’t want.

They clearly won the trade and Chicago didn’t make them pay, really, at all.

 

That said, at least Chicago doesn’t look as silly as Detroit’s Steve Yzerman now does, after Detroit reporter Sean Shapiro found that the San Jose Sharks were ready to make a waiver claim on Luke Walman — but instead Yzerman offered them a second-round pick for their troubles.

 

Harsh!
