Given the nature of acquiring top-4 defenceman and the contract he signed, I’d do that trade every time.Hindsight 20/20 is also that the Rangers have been worse than expected and VAN didn’t add at the deadline + all these injuries so I wish we still had that pick. And that’s no slight on M-Petey who’s been really good. Just the state of the team
Hey guys, I think slapshot11 has something cynical and negative to say?All that cap space at the deadline and they did nothing
Alvin deserves to be fired
You can choose to start from beginning.Well that sucks. Couldn’t get home until a few minutes ago. Got my bevie, was ready to hit play then realized it was on prime. I guess I missed the first two periods…
I literally was just typing this lol"Brother on brother action there, Hughes going down on his brother"
Blake Bolden in the intermission lol She knew she messed up.

Yeah a popular misconception of casual fans is to ignore useage, zone starts, and things like defensive positioning and gap control.
So they always scapegoat veteran D who play against top lines and do the thankless jobs of keeping the puck out of the net, while favouring 3rd D pairing types who play against non-threatening lines, often with good offensive forwards, and get to play more with the puck on their sticks.
With that said, I really like what I'm seeing from Mancini.
A guy with that size who can skate like that, has confidence and poise with the puck and doesn't seem afraid of the moment is a promising thing.
But if you suddenly gave him Myers' minutes right now? He'd get caved like almost any rookie would.
That Forbort Mancini pairing has been in their own end a lot. Mancini especially not great on that last shift
Not depressed reality of Miller hanging his team out to dry and non stop injuries sh.t happens we are all still Canucks )How we doing so far fellow depressed canucks fans

When they made that trade, I thought NY would figure shit out. They just look so bad that I think that pick has more value come the summer as an unprotected pick. Or even if they’d waited til the deadline to deal it.Given the nature of acquiring top-4 defenceman and the contract he signed, I’d do that trade every time.
