Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | With Klingberg in the Mix Who Are Our 7D After the Deadline?

Oilers put Calgary into a rebuild after one playoff series victory and now do it to Vancouver the very next year lol

Is he fighting for a participation ribbon? I don't think sitting in the press box counts as breaking your "playoff virginity".

He's been scratched 5 times in the last 10 games largely losing icetime to Kapanen and then you have to factor in E. Kane coming back in the line-up plus whomever we add at the deadline.
Sacrificing money to win and be part of something bigger than yourself is one thing, sacrificing your next big contract to be a 14th forward who has no real role on the team is another.
Believe it or not, a fresh Jeff Skinner could have helped us in game 7 of the finals. Injuries and guys getting banged up do happen.

He can also help a lot of contenders. Knob is just not utilizing him properly. Good game, get scratched.
 
Last time we faced Calgary in the playoffs, I was so damn excited. So many people on HFboards had been born since we last had a battle of alberta in the playoffs.

If Calgary can't make it into the playoffs, the rivalry is meaningless, isn't it?
That was my Stanley Cup for those playoffs. I didn’t even care what happened against Colorado in the round. It was just house money at that point.
 
We all know the Canucks embarrassed themselves when not one Canuck line mate picked up the puck for the kid who scored his first career NHL goal against Nashville two nights ago. Who was on the ice when he scored? Petterson, Hughes, Myers, Hoglander and Karlsson (goal scorer).

Hughes has the ‘C’, Pettersson has an ‘A’ and Myers is a veteran. You can’t tell me not one of those three didn’t know it was his first goal.

Conspiracy time…I bet Miller ripped all three new assholes after the game for not picking up the puck for the kid for scoring his first goal and having a lineman bring it instead. Hughes & Pettersson cried, Rutherford said “that’s it” and traded him right before the Dallas game.
 
This is maybe the biggest concern for the Canucks. If this guy is broken their whole plan is shot.
Tie between Demko being done and Hughes telling them in the spring of his expiring contract year that he is open re reupping, they don't trade him, and he bolts for NJ as the first signing by any team at the free agency opening bell.
