There are 36 posts in this thread. I've read them all.
I was unaware that there was a pre-requisite to read all other Canucks related threads prior to posting in a current thread. For this, I apologize.
Calling Girard spare parts is a reflection of you having your feelings hurt more so than it reflects his actual value. If I called Pearson spare parts, does that make him spare parts? Pearson has value. That comment would be just as silly.
Spare parts players are picked up on waivers.
Show off. No wonder you're so grouchy, after all that reading.
There is clearly a lot you're not aware of. Like sarcasm doesn't translate to text. Or that there are more than 36 posts of Avalanche fans obsessively trying to sell us on Girard, their most expendable defender.
Pearson is the epitome of spare parts. We could put him on waivers and which ever of Garland, Podkolzin or Hoglander, or hell, even Petan, isn't already playing with Horvat would either seamlessly step in, or dare I say, improve that line. You know who he wouldn't spare parts to though? Any team that puts a claim on him, as they would have a use for him versus his salary. Perhaps they lack depth, perhaps they have an injury, perhaps they have cap space and are looking to improve scoring their bottom six. Do you know who shouldn't be trading for Pearson? A team that can't afford him, has a number of left wingers that out score him, and generally has no use for him. He'd be no better than spare parts to that team. Those teams should not be trading one of their star players for him, which is exactly what a number of Colorado fans have been screeching at us to do for six full threads.
