I liked Elliotte's take on Luke Gazdic. Luke has to get thicker skin. Yes, some of the comments he got were awful, but that's the toxicity of social media. It's terrible. People say things that they'd never get away with in real life without getting wrecked. And they know it. As a public figure, you just accept that, start blocking people, or get off the platform entirely – or quit your job. I'm sure Elliotte gets his fair share of vitriol from a lot of fan bases. Kevin Bieksa is actually a model in how to deal with those kinds of things. He just doesn't let it bother him and takes it in good humour. That's why Kevin is an award winner. But not everyone is like Kevin. If Luke didn't know he was going to get a few toxic Canucks fans crossing the line with him on twitter, now he knows. And he can't paint an entire fan base with the same brush because now he's just alienated a big Canadian market who may not watch the Finals as a result and that hurts Rogers' ratings. Or they'll only watch if the Oilers are being destroyed. Canada hasn't won a Cup in 31 years and we're fighting over petty nonsense. During that series, I was embarrassed as a Canucks fan. We can banter back and forth, but in the end, we're Canadian hockey fans who haven't had a cup parade since 1993. Eyes on the prize. It's the people who pay for tickets and merch and cheer for the team but probably don't make 6 and 7 figures who matter, not the nationalities of the players. This is our game, we should start acting like it.
Keep Zadorov and let Myers walk
Z bait
Vancouver canucks should trade Pettersson 🤔
like always a bunch of maybes, could be's and ifs.
I still don't understand why the Canucks would be interested in this Necas deal.
– It requires trading players off our roster who will need to be replaced (Hronek/Hoglander etc). Most likely through free agency. Or trading draft picks which are scarce.
– Then the Canucks need need to sign Necas to a contract for around $7 million which ties up cap space. The canucks need all the cap space they can get to sign their expiring contracts.
What if he doesn't work out here? Then we are stuck with a bad long term contract.
The better option is to sign a winger through free agency. The positives would be: 1. probably a cheaper AAV than Necas. 2. Not required to trade away any assetts.
I mean, I was all for trading Petey to Carolina when that rumor hit. Still am to be honest. Lol. Petey for Necas and Nikishin+ would be a great haul for a guy who refuses to bulk up and stop getting shoved to the ice by a calm breeze. But we'll see, maybe these playoffs are an eye opener and he realizes being 175 pounds soak n wet isn't ideal for the playoffs. Them wanting prospects though tells me they are probably looking to maybe hit a retool or rebuild.
I also don't get why Lindholm is so hard to do but a trade around Necas is, like is Lindholm's number 8mil+? Necas and Lindholm most of us assume are worth around 7mil. Feels like signing one means you can sign the other (not sign both, I am saying they should be worth relatively the same). I get one is a UFA and the other a RFA. But Necas has arb rights. His bargaining position isn't that far off from Lindholm's. Trading Lekkerimaki for a guy who might go to arbitration and leave next summer isn't ideal.
Id say keep the team together. if you need to sign someone, sign tanev or toffoli. Otherwise keep the team together at all costs
I like stamkos over lindholm at 7mill aav
So when did Carolinas “ ask” change? All I’ve been hearing is that they want “ proven “ players and established! They weren’t interested in picks or top prospects. And now I’m hearing in your podcast that they want top prospects?
Carolina seems desperate to trade Necas. If this is their asking price i wouldn't consider a deal like that for a second.
Zads was pretty good prior to playoffs too
Thought this was gonna be a video about legendary depth defenseman Mark Friedman, disliked and unsubbed.
While it is a valid idea to trade prospects for current talent, to be contenders now, however, if we can navigate our way to present day contenders while keeping some of our future talent, there are good arguments to that. We are contenders now, and have developing talent to remain contenders for much longer or even establish the team as perennial contenders for an extended period.
Move on from the trade, there are a ton of teams interested in RD that would give the Canucks what their looking for
Keep our prospects. Years down the road when their contracts are cheap it'll help deal with the OEL buyout
If you can get Myers at a discount, he is good to sign. I am not convinced Zadorov cannot work but put it 50/50. Lindholm is more valuable to sign but it sounds like he won’t get enough to stay.
Were going to get Blueger Meyers and way over pay Hronek and whatever free agent plugs they can find cheap .Only hope we have Alvin can pull some more aces .Were going backwards next year .It was fun year hopefully we can make playoffs again
Petterson the 92 million dollar invisible man softer than charmin and is way , way overrated ‼️‼️
Trade pettersson tbh he’s not built for the playoffs
They need to do anything they can to get zadorov that toughness and size is hard to find he was huge in the playoffs
