Former Canucks Thread (Dan Hamhuis retires)

[cc]

Schaller clears waivers and is sent to the minors by the Kings.

There's... Something weirdly frustrating about seeing that happen after the Canucks just wouldn't do it.

The pro scouting on the canucks must be among the worst in the league with that signing. 1.9 mill. Unbelievable

Schaller was earning $316,666 for each point he scored this season. Lmao.

 

[vanuck]

Yeah, Schaller getting waived and demoted by a fully tanking LAK the moment he left this team is one of the funniest things I've seen in recent memory.

GOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Timmy Schaller scores his first goal for the LA Kings AHL affiliate Ontario Reign.

 

[Intangibos]

I wish someone in the Vancouver media would ask Green why Schaller is apparently good enough to be a regular here but not in LA, or if he thinks the team should target him if we can clear up some cap space given how cheap we can acquire him.

I think Green would just ice them out with a toughie like that.

They should ask Benning the same question while they're at it.

And Schaller isn’t even remotely the worst pro scouting decision.

- The six million dollar IKEA
- No-good-Branson
- Pizza Pizza..no NOT the trade itself but drafting guru saw how much he sucked *PLAYING FOR US* and still re-up him *WITH A RAISE*
- Gagner-let’s-have-him-play-on-the-Marlies

etc.,

Maybe Brett Henning as Director of Pro Scouting leads/led to better results?

He's had the position since 17-18 and I'd say the results have been mixed.

I'm surprised Brett (who was originally a nepotism hire) was promoted when his dad was let go. If he's not doing a good job I hope we get a Brackett-like replacement on the pro-scouting side.

Yeah I'm surprised he survived that initial purge because it's not like his results have been glowing.

Third line centre Nick Bonino just got his 18th goal, Brandon Sutter nearly has nearly that many points

Brandon, being gentlemen sportsman he is, phoned Bonino to congratulate him on his successful time as a Pen. Bonino didn’t hear his phone ring as had a Cup ring plugging each of his ears.

You know it's bad when you nearly have nearly something.

AV has Philly within a point of top spot in the Metro.
Done well since getting fired here.

Cup finals in 2014 along with the Presidents trophy. ECF another year with NYR during his run.

I haven't really watched Philly this year but I look forward to seeing them in the playoffs.

Wonder if AV has changed a little in terms of his offensive approach.

FANTASTIC trade acquisition by Benning - Bonino!

AV has proven himself to be a good coach. Just haven't won the ultimate prize.

Garrison doing his thing in SHL.

That’s why he makes $5 mill per.

people here talk more about Gillis but AV has more than proven to be a one hit wonder. Can deliver for different teams and different rosters. That’s a good Philly roster. Some good young Dmen. Koneckny and Couts on good deals. They passed on keeping Simmonds. Have young prospects like Farabee and Frost coming up. Dmen in the pipeline. If Patrick and recover from his migraines I think he’s will develop into a 2C.

not a fan of the JVR deal and I think they overpaid for Hayes. But JVR’s deal expires in 3 more years. He’s only 31 in 2020. Basically would end his contract at the same age Loui was last year after year 3, so no real post prime years. But they have a good nucleus that I can see AV work with to get them to the ECF very soon.

Schaller is not a regular here.

 

[Peter10]

Schaller is not a regular here.

He played 51 games for the Canucks before being dealt, that is a regular.

 

[Canucks1096]

He played 51 games for the Canucks before being dealt, that is a regular.

He was healthy scratched for about 8 of those games, if Sutter, Ferland and Leivo didn't miss so many games. You think Schaller still play that many games?
