Wha? Members of the highly-respected main stream media contradicts themselves? SURELY YOU JEST!

Each other, not themselves. Somewhat important distinction.

 

[Diversification]

Apples-to-Apples sounds awful and lends to the assumption neither will get dealt.

Would JTM for Zib be considered an apples to lemons trade?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Gross

All too expensive.
More of an available list.

I get they're interested in another ex Penguin, and the Buffalo connection is strong, but all the others don't make any sense, can't afford next year and don't need rentals.

Apples to Surströmming

Call me old fashioned—but, if I had just spent $92.8m on someone to do a job and they laid a turd in my living room instead, I don’t think I’d be too concerned that I was the one acting in bad faith.

If you spent $92.8m on someone to do a job over the next 8 years and they get out of the gate slow (not even 6% into the contract duration)...you're ready to just kick them to the curb after shaking their hand and telling them you wouldn't? Thats not "old fashioned" it's just being a dick.

if you shat on my rug once, how do I know you won’t shit on my rug again?

Please don’t come over to my house.

 

[Canucker]

Please don’t come over to my house.

lol...it's just a little turd every now and then....no biggie. You should be more concerned about what the defense is doing to your shag carpet.

 

[Vector]

Guys…stop.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

This thread has gone to shit.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

This thread has gone to shit.

I blame Allvin as we need action.

Let's just deal Cole McWard for Ryder Rolston.

Players Canucks Are Reportedly Linked To

• 4) Ivan Provorov - LD - Blue Jackets
• 7) Dylan Cozens - C - Sabres
• 10) Marcus Pettersson - LD - Penguins
• 18) Rasmus Ristolainen - LD/RD - Flyers
• 21) David Savard - RD - Canadiens

So that’s the list of players those teams want to trade

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Oddly opposite of last year where everytime we thought 'meh it would be nice to add...' and a guy got added. Lots of nothing this year

Meh it’d be nice if we didn't add two top 4 defenders somehow

Because we don’t have guys like Beau to flip for cap.

 

[Nucker42]

My give-a-shit levels are getting lower by the day with this team. Thought this side show was done with when Benning left…

I don’t want to watch a bi-polar Miller play crappy for 4 games and then play great the 5th game.

I don’t want to watch the team play Hughes with a broken hand against Montreal half way through the year.

I don’t want to watch hockey where no offence is generated.


I’m getting close to being done.

 

[Bobby9]

I’m already there. Haven’t watched a game in a few weeks. If the players don’t care they can’t expect fans to care and spend money on the product.

5. Agents always attend the world juniors, so the end of Ottawa’s event allowed Brian Bartlett (J.T. Miller) and Pat Brisson (Elias Pettersson) to see their clients face-to-face and chat with the Canucks in Montreal. As Quinn Hughes has said, if the team was playing better, there would be less noise. And, as Pettersson told Iain MacIntyre, “I know I can do better… I know what I can do, and that's what I'm focussing on doing.” That’s the right attitude because you can always re-write the narrative.
But I stick to what I’ve said the past few days: the Canucks are investigating the market for both players and, as I write this, there’s no certain outcome. There are definitely a lot of teams trying to figure out why it's at this point, and how that affects their pursuit of either player. Some relationships are difficult to repair.

6. The Athletic’s Josh Yohe reported Vancouver turned down a Miller for Mika Zibanejad deal, and I believe he’s correct — with some semantics. (A few weeks ago, New York denied it, but all it takes is for someone like Yohe to shake it out, and information follows.)
You’ll remember that when Miller took his mental health break, the Rangers, who covet the player, were in Vancouver. From what I understand, they approached the Canucks to discuss what something could look like, and Zibanejad was included in the conversation. I don’t know that Zibanejad, who has a no-move clause, was ever approached. I asked at the time and did not receive a clear answer. I also think it was actually a bigger deal, and one of the issues is that Vancouver adores Braden Schneider, who the Rangers do not want to trade. This would be the second time New York has rejected a Vancouver attempt for him.

[Peen]

Miller and Hoglander for Zib and Schneider

No…

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I've stopped watching the last few weeks. They've lost me completely.

 

[VanJack]

I'm worried about Quinn Hughes......it's one thing to try and play through an undisclosed 'upper body injury'......but everyone knows his hand is held together with a splint and duct tape.

You worry that some goon on the Caps might target him, read a guy like Tom Wilson. But I suppose that Quinn is ultimate 'gamer'. He'll find a way to play through it and protect himself....just praying.

 

[Canucks LB]

Miller and Hoglander for Zib and Schneider

No…

Thats brutal for Canucks
