Former Canucks Thread 2023-24 Off-Season Edition

[Grumbler]

JT Miller has 10 points in last 9 games. His play sure hasn't gone down, in fact it recovered close to his pace last year. Numbers don't lie, we will see who the real cancer on the Canucks was.

It was probably the guy who had to leave the team…

Former Vancouver Canuck sued by City of Vernon over unpaid parking tickets

Aaron Volpatti has been taken to small claims court over $650 in unpaid tickets

"Volpatti made close to $3 million in earnings over his NHL career." - sick burn by the author,

We might need to station armed guards outside D-Petey's place, 'cause we are seeing an "Elias" trend here...

 

[Bobby9]

JT with 2 more points. 12 points in 10 games

Haters in shambles.

It was $1 an hour too.

He clearly doesn't give a shit:

PS, if you’re wondering if the authorities have come for me, the answer is no. Odd, could be because they’re parking tickets. But glad all the newspapers and media have such a killer story going

 

[Bobby9]

JT another 2 points. Unreal

The crazy part is most of us called this and knew this would happen. Pretty embarrassing that a professional hockey staff decided that contract was just fine

Well we offered him 7x$7M...

I'm just going to come out and say it: getting rid of Mikheyev (and paying to do so) because he has poor finish was a counterproductive and reactionary move. I thought so at the time but didn't want to get raked over the coals here. For a team starved for speed, having a guy who can contribute to chance creation, even if he doesn't have the best hands, is useful.

If Mikheyev never played for the Canucks and was rumored to be available now, folks would find him an intriguing possibility.

I wanted him gone, but it had nothing to do with him and more his contract.

When you consider his entire tenure was plagued by LBIs, it's impressive he put up the numbers he did until he fell off a cliff at the end. Plus I thought he was a good counterpunch for McDavid.

If it wasn't for Hoglander, i'd have said that's the most Hansen-type player I've ever seen.

 

[calnuck]

Well we offered him 7x$7M...

And thankfully we avoided that disaster.

To be fair, his role would have been considerably different in Vancouver.

 

[Peen]

yeah but paying a guy 7x7 to be a glorified teddy blueger would be horrific

we already have 40 doing that for 11.6

all jokes aside - blueger outplayed lindholm until like the final few games of the season. and then that line cooked in a small sample in the playoffs. zadorov was good up until the last 3 games of that oilers series and then got killed by evander kane and the oilers bottom six in the last three

this management fell for both of those performances we dodged such huge bullets

 

[Nucker101]

Would still be a disaster contract, he wasn’t exactly an elite 3C here during the season.

High PDO playoffs always cloud judgement

Like I said before how every many points JT miller gets vs Pettersson in the remainder of the games will tell you directly who IS the true cancer in the canucks locker room.

I'm missing the correlation here

Yeah, that's not how it works.
