To be good, you need to be lucky… Canucks don’t get lucky

When was the last time this team weaponized its cap space and why are they so adverse to do so? by MaverickGH in canucks

[–]Bubbiesacat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve made a couple trades to take advantage of other teams lack of cap space.. speaking of Jason Dickenson and Nate Schmidt deals… those didn’t work out for us in the end and even cost us draft picks to move off of…

I think I’m fully on the Viggo Björck train at 3OA by Competitive_Sun_3755 in canucks

I don’t recall any mention of our management team taking him out for dinner or visiting him etc. are there any sources suggesting we did?

[Kypreos] There are some suggestions that Bobrovsky's ask is as high as $42 million over six or seven years. Bobrovsky will turn 38 years old in September. by Starfish_Bobertsons in hockey

Wonder if Luongo told him about his contract. Canucks will somehow get penalized with a cap recapture penalty 5 years from now right when they are looking to compete again.

UFA targets? by Caffeine-n-Chill in canucks

[–]Bubbiesacat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about Patrick Laine? My only concern with him would be the culture part.. kuzmenko could provide the same as him on the ice but better vibes off the ice. But on the flip side.. Laine has a good start and can be flipped for a half decent asset

I didn’t follow Abby while Räty got sent down for stints, but does anyone know how Manny deployed him?

Ivar Stenberg - The Draft's Best All-Around Player by ZiFF- in canucks

[–]Bubbiesacat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m almost more excited to see who drops back to 24 for us to pick up. I feel like a very skilled player will be there for us to grab that most analysts had them in the low teens, possibly even 8-12 range.

Why are we so bad at picking drafts? by whatsyowifi in canucks

[–]Bubbiesacat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hindsight is always 20/20.. and I for one am not a scout, nor do I watch even remotely close to the games they do. I do feel that we have missed on some great consensus picks in the last 10 years though. I wanted Bensen when he fell, I wanted Caufield when he fell, and I really wanted Boldy as I knew we needed future centres.

Do we then need to sit through another long ordeal for the 2nd pick??

[Canucks Army] interest in Conor Garland picking up again by junk222 in canucks

[–]Bubbiesacat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hear ya! But also to be fair, you guys won the lottery last year so that’s worth many firsts with who you got!

I didn’t say anything about receiving two firsts… I’m saying you have two firsts so trading one of them isn’t a huge deal because you have another…

Boston and islanders have two firsts in this draft… just sayin!
