Former Canucks Thread 2023-24 Off-Season Edition

[Blue and Green]

Michael DiPietro has played in 36 games for the Bruins' AHL club since they acquired him and his save % is .922 in that span. Wonder when he gets another NHL chance?

Clearly inspired by the opportunity to be teammates with former canuck legend Jayson Megna.

I was recently in Cologne and went to a Kolner Haie game. My god, the atmosphere of a German hockey game is so much better than a Canucks game. They stand and sing all game, despite the actual game.

Lo and behold, I notice an ex-Canucks on the team. Alexander Grenier, who had a cup of tea on the team in 2016. Now he's the leading scorer on the Sharks.

I went to a DEL game 20 years ago and it was a blast; super cheap good beer, former Victoria Cougar stars on the roster, insane fans and even a huge fight where a player decked a linesman! All for under $30!

If he liked Megna that much, he should ask for a trade to the Colorado organization. Mind you, Megna's on the farm; Mikey might be the Avalanche starter with the way their goaltending has been.

Joni Jurmo is off to the ECHL.

Still thought it was wild that they offered him an ELC.

When he was included in the deal, I had no idea what the Flames were thinking. Flames fans were so excited. It was one of the few times I've seen Canucks fans rational and trying to explain that Jurmo is a wasted contract slot.

So as it stands now they received Kuzmenko (with the extra year at 5.5MM), who has been routinely benched in tight games (still), Joni Jurmo a wasted contract slot, a Hunter B. who has struggled with the move to pro, and the late first for the Lindholm rental where we got to game 7 of round 2.
