MacFarland/Landeskog press conference

[Avs91]

CMac is going back to Columbus to GM. EJ is coming back to be Val's sponsor. EJ and Jokic can show Val the beauty of horse ownership and give him his first pony.

Bring EJ back in any capacity, idgaf

Bring EJ back in any capacity, idgaf

Even if he’s there to hold the straw while Nuke snorts the coke?


Sorry, that’s probably bad

 

[The Moops]

Either we riot at 10am or we riot at 10am.

I've already flipped a car and set it on fire...

What are we Vancouver fans or something?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

This is just standard practice though?

 

[Chiarelli]

It'll be a huge nothing burger press conference and don't expect any real answers on how Nuke's situation will be dealt with.

I appreciate the soldiers in here that do take the time to TLDR this for me because I certainly won't be wasting my time.

 

[Balthazar]

CMAc: "Hey Gabriel, can I spend your 7M this summer, we're short of cap space and I really need it"

Landy: "No, I might come back. We'll see how it goes"

CMac: "Ok but we'll need to find a way to explain this to the fans"

Yes.

 

[hockeyfish]

Yea, this isn't ominous or anything...

 

[Deadsy]

Gabe gonna get trade to Utah or something.

Missionaries must have made it to Sweden.

 

[Hennessy]

Missionaries must have made it to Sweden.

True story:
I saw a Jeep yesterday in CU livery with the logo detailed on. Strangely, there was also a CSU sticker on the windshield.
So I go up and request the two occupants to roll down a window so we may converse. A timid blonde cracks the passenger side. I ask if they're from Colorado. The guy says he's from Sweden but that she's from Utah.
Without considering matters, I said, "f***in' Utah. Shit."
He laughed nervously. She said nothing. I thanked them for their time and wished them a good day.
I'd bet a lot of money she was Mormon. They're not actually that uncommon up here, unfortunately.

Either we riot at 10am or we riot at 10am.

Why not both?

 

[the_fan]

Either we riot at 10am or we riot at 10am.

I’m thinking 10am

 

[StreetHawk]

No way he’s retiring from that money and he stills has months before next season.

Either an optimistic update or a bad update.

It's going to be an LTIR retirement, ala Weber, Little, Voracheck, Seabrook, etc down the line that we have seen.

People just need to stop writing it as "retiring" which infers he is walking away from the remaining 5 years and $30 odd million he is still due.

 

[Avs_19]

Never say never but I highly doubt Landeskog is announcing anything. Injured players don't speak during the season so I bet it's just an end of season presser type of deal.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Missionaries must have made it to Sweden.

They spread like a virus.

 

[pont]

I am feeling a injury status/progress update will be happening based upon what we saw last year. As others have stated, I doubt he would leave all that money on the table and announce a retirement.

"F*** Val Nichushkin."

Gabe, probably

I’m very curious to hear what CMac and Landy gonna say about Val tomorrow

 

[henchman21]

I’m very curious to hear what CMac and Landy gonna say about Val tomorrow

You know it’ll just be, ‘Val is in the program and we are just hoping the best for him and his family’

 

[the_fan]

You know it’ll just be, ‘Val is in the program and we are just hoping the best for him and his family’

Yeah pretty much

 

[Balthazar]

I’m very curious to hear what CMac and Landy gonna say about Val tomorrow

I just want someone to ask him if the plan is to spend Nuke's cap space or not.

We pretty much already know that they won't spend Landy's.

 

[LTCPain75]

Is this news conference going to be aired on the Altitude Network tomorrow morning???

 

[the_fan]

Is this news conference going to be aired on the Altitude Network tomorrow morning???

I’ve heard it’s on HBO so they can use profanity

 

[katfude]

Well at least now we know that salary is going to be on LTIR forever and usable for other signings.

Now we need a Val presser where he does lines of blow in front of the camera and yells "I'M GOING BACK TO RUSSIA MOTHERf***ERS" and we can start prepping for a real run
