Incoming buyouts to gain short-term cap flexibility and long-term suffering.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Miller has to go. Particularly considering the rumours that Demko is finished with this org, it's absolutely imperative that we jettison Miller.

Every other deal besides those two isn't urgent.

Evident we are now building around JT Messier.

His coach. Got rid of the captain. Every piece that hates him will be out the door in short order.

f***ing terrorist.

(I had a beer and half a bottle of wine so I may be a bit tipsy. f*** JT Messier though and this skinny ass Swedish Benning wannabe GM.)

 

[credulous]

credit to the management team, they seem to have identified a young player they really like and committed to getting them. i don't like the horvat trade at all really but it's far from the worst case scenario. it's at least the right idea

 

[kanucks25]

Sounds like they've already decided Pettersson gets the C.

Only long term suffering will be from fans having to watch OeL play out his contract

He's a fantastic tank commander so why not keep him for a couple more years?

 

[TruKnyte]

So..who do we trade next?

 

[Diogenes92]

Another possibilty leading up to the trade deadline is other teams getting way bigger returns for their assets.

I think that would generate a lot of angst in this market.

Because you can’t bring young players onto a team where OeL is setting the veteran example

Would be hilarious if the isles fall out of the playoff picture and trade Horvat for a better package.

 

[credulous]

horvat to detroit for rasmussen, buium and detroit's unprotected first this year

I was thinking that earlier as well.

I’d bet money that doesn’t happen

Strip the A from him when the new Captain is named.

It’s not even about the letter it’s about the example he sets on ice. He needs to go if we ever want to turn this from Bennings collection of idiot misfits to an actual team. You can’t build a team with guys like OEL on it- and I’m sure Tocchet agrees. Can’t wait until he’s never in a canucks jersey again.

I depised the trade from the moment it happened. Unfortunately Benning left the team in a state of disaster and I hold no hope that it's going to be fixed anytime soon.

Really either A or C would be fine, depending on the direction they want to go.

But it was B, b for bummer.

The answer is C.

Its a catch 22, doing it first has the most suitors available. Doing it rushed last has less suitors but maybe more desperate offers

Yep.

This is it.

Bo is tolerating none of JTs crap and got punted.

 

[lawrence]

words can't describe how much I hate our new management team. I hate them more than jim Benning, that's how bad I hate them.

how the hell did we end up keeping Jt Miller, probably a cancer in the locker room for 8 more years over Bo Horvat? you know we screwed up bad, when we are keeping JT Miller over Bo. good f in Riddance, this is all on you too, Francesco!

Probably because Miller isn’t the cancer you think he is?

Well Bo certainly wasn’t going to fight over it amirite
