they think they're serious but they're not. they're leaking to Brooks all the players they want hoping something shakes loose.
Look on the bright side:
Look man, they drop "frauds" all the time on our Canucks so no, not taking my word back. agree to disagree.
not really. If there were no teams interested, not much will come of it, plus a terrible contract attached to him. He's not that good anymore.
Ana looking at it from just their own POV. When you are a losing team, hard to convince players to sign and play for you. Killorn, Gudas, Strome were free agents while Fabbri, Dum, came via trade.
They're willing to roll the dice to incubate the asset until they can flip it for more than they paid.
You'll never meet them. You aren't actually engaged in a real conflict that you'll lose if you let your guard down to be rational for a minute here and there.
Again -- when they move Gibson and Fowler, even with full retention, they will still have too much cap space to effectively use or exchange for assets unless they sign 2-3 premier free agents.
6 points in 24 games mostly as a 2nd paring dman. doesnt play on the Powerplay. physical dman, I think too much work would have been needed if we were to trade for trouba. Also its unlikely hes waving to come to any Canadian cities.
The way he's been playing, that's absolutely true and why he makes no sense for a contending team. But Anaheim sucks and have more cap space than they can monetize, so why not take a punt on a rehab project. It's hard to put everything you have into the game, so when the team has made it clear that they don't want you around anymore and are actively trying to trade you, maybe you take your foot off the gas a bit. Look at what a little motivation did for OEL's game. My first reaction was "get the crack pipe out of your mouth Verbeek", but i can sort of see why they'd do it.
"Again?"
Do you understand that this is a supposition you're supplying without evidence?
