Tre sucked at hiring coaches. He got two more than most GMs. All that was said was that there was a rebuilding offer on the table for Tkachuk and a the Florida one and they went with Florida.
That would be their undoing if they dont rebuild. They don't even have a number 1 center anymore once Lindholm goes out and they would be left with only Kadri as their legitimate top 6 Center and he is getting older too and not that young anymore. Best to blow it up and rebuild. People here keep crying about Canucks not wanting to rebuild but they have foundational pieces such as Pettersson, Hughes, Kuzmenko and Demko to build upon. Flames have absolutely no young elite forward, D or goalie in the age of 20-25 bracket. That would not be good for them if they keep delaying to rebuild and draft high.
You keep boasting how great Vancouver is. That organization is a train wreck.
Its a lot better than Calgary right now, thats for sure. Especially since Benning is not here anymore. I don't trust Conroy at all, so good luck with your team. Canucks just bought out one of the reasons why they didnt make playoffs in OEL, now they need to get rid of Myers to make the playoffs. Those are easy fixes and with the amount of players wanting out or being bought out right now around the league, it will make Canucks job much easier to acquire a 3C and some top 4D whether its through trades or free agency.
Oh boy. Ok who are you replacing in the pacific. Vancouver will be in no mans land taking the flames place for next few years.
There will be 5 pacific teams making the playoffs and only 3 from the central. Blues, Preds, Hawks, Jets are all rebuilding which leaves Avs, Stars and Wild as the legit playoff teams. Canucks will probably be battling Preds for the wild card spots but I see Canucks making playoffs. Maybe people here forgot the Canucks still have some young players like Hoglander, Podkolzin, Rathbone, Silovs that could hit their potential soon. I haven't written them off yet like some people here did and they are still very young.
it doesnt have what your replying to ... if you hit the reply button it will add the context your talking about
Should he have signed gaudreau to an 8 year 10.5 million dollar deal? A guy taken in the same draft who's only a few months younger than Huberdeau?
Dude you weren't following the thread. It was clear to everyone else what the comment meant
If they have the worst owner, they would not be spending to cap ceiling every year and buying out players like OEL or changing and improving rogers arena like replacing old score displays and jumbotrons for newer tech which they are doing this year unlike the fLames owner. He might have meddled in the past but now that JR is in charge, he is not doing that. But I don't get what does the Canucks owner have to do with Flames recent situation and the mess they have created. But I mean if blaming the Canucks owner for the mess in Calgary makes you sleep good at night, so be it.
Kuzmenko did, and so did Hughes and Pettersson when they re-signed with the Canucks as well as Miller. I don't get why they wouldnt want to play in major cities like Toronto or Vancouver with fans everywhere? I guess everyone wants to play in the 5000 seat community center skating rink in Arizona and play for Coyotes while their owner is selling hotdogs outside to pay for the electric bill and the players need to take greyhound buses instead of private jets. Am sure its very good down there in some US cities eh?
He is a meddler just like Murray lol. I don't think the Flames are much better mind you but Vancouver isn't a paragon of good ownership and management.
I agree that ownership meddled and the management group run by Benning and Weisbrod sucked. But we have to see with the new president and GM, how it will go. People here are judging this new management very quickly, its been like 1.5 year since Benning was fired and left a mess with the cap and not much prospect in the pipeline.
I wrote a paragraph to discuss about why Players would play in Toronto and Vancouver and all you got from it is comparing Toronto and Vancouver fanbases?? This is like my dad talking about why the winds were blowing the wrong way in that Titanic scene where important discussion was going on and was part of the main storyline
