Confirmed with Link: [VAN/NYR] Canucks acquire SJS 3rd round Pick in 2025 for D Carson Soucy (no retention)

Myers is red state born with a black NBAer brother. Whatever makes him Canadian is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

His dad. Who he grew up with...in Canada.

And is why Myers has represented Canada internationally at every level going back to U18

 

[I am toxic]

I imagine having twins is a bit more tiring

It's actually exponential

E=mc^2

where E is exhaustion, m is marriage and c is children

and don't get me started on the specific theory of relatives, suffice to say that in-laws . . . well, you do the math

Anyone know how much it costs to change the lettering on a Canucks Jersey?

Gotta change a Soucy jersey to a 3rd Round Pick jersey. 3rd round pick is my kids favourite player.

One less handsome chin in the team, pretty decent return though

Rutherford, aka Trader Jim, has been doing it his whole career and it hasn’t prevented him from having success.

I think it’s actually fair to the player to get another opportunity if he’s no longer hitting expectations. Better than wallowing in the press box.

Yep.....'Trader Jim' has three Cups to his name and installed in the HOF. The moves on from guys quickly, even after he signs them.

But let's face it.....when D-Petey came in and basically blew the doors off everyone, Soucy's days were numbered. It's all about making 'incremental improvements'.

Allvin and Rutherford have almost totally re-made the Canucks back-end, and completely on the fly in mid-season. And I don't think they're done yet.

At this point making the playoffs and losing in the first round is better than missing it. The experience is better for this team than a 16th overall pick that might be good in 5 years if we get lucky.

Very true, also having Mancini too. Guessing they want to get him into some games here. Won’t be surprised at all if Forbort goes as well.

Hughes-Hronek
Metey-Myers
Mancini-Jr

Not sure who you call up but don’t think it matters.

I was listening to a podcast and I think it might have been Ferraro (could be wrong about that though) and he was talking about Soucy’s decline this last season and brought up something I’d never considered before:

It is fairly common for fathers of newborns to struggle (apparently the situation Soucy is in).

I’d never considered that before, but as someone who has brought home a newborn, it can (and often does) kick your career in the ass (at least for a short time).

I thought Soucy was a really nice addition last season, and a big part of why this team took a step forward last season. His play this season was extremely disappointing though.

New dad or not, you have to figure that shit out and show up ready to play your best hockey.

My take away from this is that EP40 has fathered many children in the last 12 months.

Saw an interesting study that stated that the sight of a newborn baby will lower the testosterone level in men. That kinda describes the kinder gentler Soucy we’ve had this year.

Yeah it's not even a debate.

Your priorities and values shift when you have a child and those differences become very noticeable if you're doing anything at the highest level.

Lack of sleep is proven to decrease testosterone.
A newborn is (I assume) known to decrease sleep.
An angry and tired wife is known by every man in human history to decrease sleep and testosterone.

This trade sucks sweaty assholes now

 

[mossey3535]

Kind of a shit move in hindsight with no follow up. Yeah Soucy stunk this year but we needed and still need someone on the RHS to push the guys who aren't Hronek.
