GDT: Canucks Season Ticket Holder Summit

[GetFocht]

First thought when I saw y2k:

 

[GetFocht]

Really? The crazy lady that said we'll love you and we'll hate you? Be more awkward.

That lady was terrible, I hate the fact she classifies herself as a fan.

 

[m9]

Hard to watch.

 

[iFan]

Someone should've said something about our weakness of centers who can win draws, its kinda scary when right now it looks like

Sedin
Bonino
Vey
Richardson

If Horvat makes the team, he's already a very good face off guy... maybe the best in the CHL. Richardson also was our best faceoff guy last year. 56% or something. Pretty good. The top 2 lines is what I worry about.

 

[arsmaster*]

Woo PR content! You didn't play with him there did you?

Will was in my grade 11 socials class at Max, with Mr Njume!

Richardson came it at 55%

Henrik was 52%

Bonino was 49%

49% is actually pretty good for a guy as inexperienced as Bonino imo. It's something that usually takes some time to learn.

 

[Archangel]

We're 2 million below the cap limit and still need to sign Vey (~900k).

3M with Markstrom gone.

and add one D-men getting sent down. Can not believe they gave Vrbata 5mill a year

 

[Canucker]

Why not? Thats actually a fairly good value signing in this UFA market place...compare what some other players got (ie Weiss, Bolland, Hemsky, etc).

 

[kanucks25]

Can anyone give me a summary of any useful info management gave? I don't really feel like watching 2 hours of uneducated awkward fans ask stupid questions

 

[Orca Smash]

and add one D-men getting sent down. Can not believe they gave Vrbata 5mill a year

For 2 years? I would rather pay him 5m for 2 years then 4m for 3.

 

[Addison Rae]

Huh? Vrbata is a ~60 point winger who's capable of playing against other teams best players, 5 million is a nice price for him.

Nothing interesting was said.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Where was your question? Oh right...

How the hell am I meant to ask a question??? But I does not matter since I never said I would as a tough question and then back down...

 

[Ryp37]

Makes sense y2k liked Ritchie so much since he looks like him if he didn't play hockey

 

[LiquidSnake]

Well y2k's q was better than the BS he spewed last year of saying he's goin to ask tough questions and then asked about McNally lol

 

[Royal Canuck]

What time in the video was Y2K's Q?

 

[Slapshot_11]

The first pregnant guy

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

The first pregnant guy

Too far.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Too far.

He already admitted to looking pregnant

 

[Slapshot_11]

I can't edit but I meant in the video he admitted he looked pregnant

 

[Royal Canuck]

32:30ish, found it.

 

[GetFocht]

Y2k has a one hell of a belly, what an investment.

 

[y2kcanucks]

I can't edit but I meant in the video he admitted he looked pregnant

Yeah. Sad thing is two months ago I was out of shape and that may have been legit, today without a shirt on looking in the mirror I have a flat stomach. I blame Aquilini for this. He saw what I wrote in the other thread so he distorted the video.

 

[Bad Goalie]

I can answer the tanking question already...

a) It doesn't always work (re: Edmonton), why risk it?
b) Even if it does work, there's no guarantee how many years it will take
c) Developing a culture of losing hurts the team a lot more in the long term
d) Disrespectful to fans and season ticket holders
e) Disrespectful to the players on the roster

And of course...they'd lose too much money for it to be worthwhile.

Maybe the question could have reworded as, "What's the difference between tanking and trading out old veterans for youth and combining them with your own developmental pool along with new draft picks to rebuild a team that just can't cut it anymore?"

I think the term rebuild is much more acceptable to management and owners than tanking.
