Read online yesterday they’ve (management) tried to overturn the roster much more than they already have but they haven’t had a lot of success/takers thus far. More to come…
I changed careers for much better pay and job security. I’m working in the propane industry now. Yes, I know all the Hank Hill jokes.
I’m happy for you, if it’s better for you and your family…awesome.
Now you can’t stand by your fence in Sooke with your wife-beater on and drink Lucky beer. 🙂
I was very surprised not to see the Canucks at the top of the list. I think Canucks could be a very tough team, no longer fun to play against team with some of the size and grit they brought in.
The good thing about the state of this team in there will be little to no pressure to win, just play the right way. This should make EP40 happy, he can go out and block shots and get his 50-60 points. All good.
Call me crazy but I think with a clean slate and some of the opinionated clowns out of the mix you’re going to see him at 75 points. He’s seemingly a very sensitive (weird) person so with some of the noise gone, he might find some of his game again.
I read yesterday the teams expected to finish last next year Vegas Ducks Sens
I’ll venture to guess VAN finishes last again, picks 3rd OA. I could see Vegas winning the lottery, it would be great for Bettman.
Vegas is too deep and too talented to finish anywhere near the bottom. Plus, they have a new good young coach, players will be excited and ready to play.

Canucks are bottom five all day long, they just need some lottery luck. That being said, there’s a lot of great players, historically, in the top three picks. Just keep drafting and building towards the future.
Canucks won’t be big spenders for the foreseeable future.
Nor should they be, unless it’s taking on salary to acquire draft picks or valuable young talent.

That doesnt remove it from bad contract status if he continues to miss mass games every season. When a lot of us were worried about his injuries moving forward, PA and JR pushed a contract at him. They did the same at Petey when they should have sat back and waited. Useless fux…
It’s 3 years at 8.5mil Expires in 2029 when he’s 33. It’s not like it’s hancuffing the franchise or standing in the way of a younger better prospect. He plays to the level of pay when healthy. If he’s not it goes on LTIR. It’s actually quite reasonable.
Look at you coming in with intelligence and common sense, you know, for a guy that operates a shovel for a living you bring up some valid points. 😉

True…but at least the team can mitigate around it.
Petey and Eriksson are the standout bad ones.There have been others also on a lesser scale. But not worth complaining about. I really think Thy should try to trade for the other Buium also, workking out day after day on the same practice ice will go a long way when it comes to comfort level of the city.
If Demko ends up with another injury riddled season, you can add him to that list.
But that can be put on LTIR, Petey’s salary can’t. Unless he’s injured too, of course.
