I hope the Canucks move on from Brisebois and Woo in the summer. Time to get good AHL players as the vet D.Play Felton.

Good move - Raty has been playing well in Abbotsford, nice to reward it.

Sounds like in a pick up truck here in lovely QCRandom site note: last night I was driving home after 16 hours shift, crossing Royal Oak and Oakland east bound. For those who don't know at this intersection Oakland merges from 2 lanes into 1 at this point. I was in the center lane so I needed no change, and to my right was a car that slowed down and turned right. So I drove along Oakland and then another car from the original right lane tried to pass me and merge in I guess? It didn't look like he was close so I drove normally. And once the lanes merged into one and this guy was forced to follow me, he started blasting high beams on and off. I thought it was pretty funny, because it had ZERO effect on my driving, as my mirrors were in an angle where none of those lights could shine to my face. After doing this for a while, this guy shifted to the left, blasted pass me while riding the opposite direction lane, and sped off triumphantly with his massive gigachad victory.
I did nothing after that because I was laughing my ass off.
Always amuse me that people throw such tantrums on the road.
P.S.: Since the car itself didn't look like a particular luxurious one I'm gonna assume it was not Aquaman so don't bother asking.
No it's just something Raty has always worked on to the point of becoming proficient both right and left handed (I believe during camp I read that he is actually more proficient with off-hand).Manny Malhotra working his magic down in Abby
How would you convince vets to sign for a rebuilding club? Either going to be money or term that they wouldn’t get elsewhere. Same as what Detroit did.The Ducks rebuild looks like how some kid playing EA NHL would do it. Way too many kids in at once, and not enough veterans insulating them. They have the talent base to turn things around, but the way they’re developing them in the NHL looks super sus.
You never want to go full Benning and sign 4th liners for 3 million plus, but you do want some decent players around in the top 6 so the kids learn good habits and are put in positions to succeed.
Anyways, if Lankinen starts they’re winning this one 4-2. If Silovs is in net, could turn into a barn burner.

Dude probably had no clue he was road raging against Valkynax from Canucks boardsThis guy was driving a small hatch back of some sort. I'm guessing that he was obligated to pull that embarrassing stunt in order to show the world how much he does NOT have a micropenis.
Thats how the universe works.
If I have 3 clients for a day and one of them cancels guess witch one it is?
The 1st so I can start later? Nope...
The last so I can leave early? Most certainly not..
Uh oh

Cali is a high tax state as well. I had thought Ana would be more aggressive and look to trade for someone but opted to just take Fabbri and Dum for mid round picks.
See if the kids take a step or not.
Also hate seeing so many posters want to call up someone after a good 10 game stretch. Let the player go through a whole season of ups and downs and see how they battle through tough stretches.
Montreal calling up Joshua Roy last season after 30 odd games was IMO stupid. He stays with MTL for 23 games and finishes with 40 something AHL games and is down in the A to start this season. Have to keep some kids down to get them ready so that when they do go up, they stay there and don't need to go back down. At some point with the extra picks they have used, there's going to be a logjam in the NHL. So, if the kids don't develop as well, then you have to move off them. Don't have anymore time before the next group is pushing for a spot.
I am laughing at how all summer long we heard "finally Petey gets a winger in Debrusk" and now 10 games in he's with Suter and Hoglander while Debrusk is on the top line with Miller and Boeser.
With Detroit, before signing those vets, Raymond/Seider as rookies help Det finish in like 8th to draft Kasper in 2022. Their window to be terrible was like 2018-2022. 5th worst in 2018. 4th worst in 2019. Worst in 2020. 5th worst 2021. 8th worst in 2022.Detroit had no franchise-level building blocks when they want out and signed a bunch of middle 6, mid tier talent to expensive long term contracts, which has cursed them into the muddy middle. They needed at least one guy who showed the talent of a Hughes/Petterson before making those moves and capping themselves out.
