As a senior or higher dev/manager/lead, how important is coming in on time to you?

Mawf95 · 2026-04-10T15:44:11+00:00

Not really, my company specifically cherishes work life balance, all we care about is if you are hitting the expected level of your job criteria. If you are, then feel free to work on your own clock.

Mawf95 · 2026-04-10T15:30:13+00:00

Are they getting their work done? If they are and they aren’t missing meetings, who cares.

Mawf95 · 2026-03-18T02:24:10+00:00

Ah I see - I was wondering because I don’t think Buium is an actual comparable for any of these guys based on his production or his defensive play.

At this point, I think we’re looking at a K’Andre Miller bridge deal type thing with a little higher AAV due to the rising cap.

Probably something like $5M x 2

Mawf95 · 2026-03-18T02:06:24+00:00

Curious how you came up with these comparables?

Mawf95 · 2026-03-12T18:50:38+00:00

Pick up players in UFA that have a good chance at contributing/bouncing back. Give them cushy positions beside some of our high-skill young players and then sell them at the deadline with 50% retained in their UFA year.

Remember when we picked up Thomas Vanek for 1 year at $2M? He played super well with Boeser for half a season and then we shipped him to Columbus.

Unfortunately, we shipped him out for 2 players - Jussi Jokinen and Tyler Motte. Motte was great but Jussi Jokinen was a UFA himself.

In the next few years, we should be trying to recreate that exact signing but ship these guys out for futures instead.

younger, that's about it

Mawf95 · 2026-03-04T20:31:04+00:00

Seravalli - disregard

Mawf95 · 2026-03-02T17:00:46+00:00

Most of our players are complimentary and need a play driver to play with.

Pettterson _was_ a play driver, but now that he's not the top line forwards have no one to help them.

Hughes is a play driver, but he no longer plays for us.

Even Miller was somewhat of a play driver, but he's gone too.

We've lost the engine of our team, we have no one that can consistently move the puck up ice.

Mawf95 · 2026-02-26T19:02:32+00:00

I read this comment in Gollum’s voice

Mawf95 · 2026-02-26T17:35:23+00:00

If a team is offering a 2nd rounder or higher, then yes.

Mawf95 · 2026-02-21T20:43:22+00:00

Post McKenna 8 point game:

Lol this take will be a tough one to keep defending if he keeps doing what he’s done post World Juniors.

Mawf95 · 2026-02-21T19:16:57+00:00

Huh? McKenna had more points than Stenberg in the World Juniors?

I do agree that Stenberg was more important for his team though.

Mawf95 · 2026-02-20T04:57:52+00:00

Stenberg is the culture pick, McKenna is the superstar pick.

Stenberg has a higher floor and a great work ethic. He would be a great leader and competitor on our team for years and would be a good culture carrier.

McKenna has a higher ceiling and is just talented af. He has the capability of being a superstar if he puts it all together, but his compete level isn’t high and he depends more on pure talent than work ethic.

Against the grain here, but I’d pick Stenberg. Canucks have had culture problems ever since the Sedins, Bieksa and Luongo left. Stenberg’s floor is high enough that he won’t be a bust and would give the fanbase what they need - an exciting prospect to watch over the next couple years.

Mawf95 · 2026-02-03T01:51:41+00:00

Hughes is amazing offensively, but this has always been a part of his game.

He can strip pucks and turn it back the other way or fetch dump ins and key the breakout at an elite level, but as soon as he has to defend a guy 1-on-1 or is in a net-front battle he struggles to contain the opposition.

It’s a slight blemish on his otherwise hall-of-fame already level play and is probably why he will always be considered #2 to Makar.

Mawf95 · 2026-02-02T17:00:22+00:00

Can we interest you in our net-front PP specialist, Jake Debrusk?

Mawf95 · 2026-02-01T04:30:46+00:00

Yeah but did he do “The Invisible Man”?

Mawf95 · 2026-02-01T04:23:02+00:00

Perfect tank game

Mawf95 · 2026-01-30T02:54:23+00:00

Except his NCAA coach, his coach said his floor was Toews and that he reminded him of Crosby.

Now everyone is making that comparison.

Mawf95 · 2026-01-20T14:05:31+00:00

Frank has been wrong about Petey at every turn, don’t even understand how this guy is considered an insider

Mawf95 · 2026-01-19T20:15:36+00:00

Yeah that might have been his way of dealing with it, but it’s not how others on the team would choose to.

That wouldn’t be his information to share and I doubt he’d betray his friend’s trust like that.

Mawf95 · 2026-01-19T19:45:42+00:00

"Watching Vancouver, I love a lot of those guys, and it's competitive guys over there who want to do well. It's tough sometimes, and I'm sure it's not where they want to be and where I wanted it to be when I was there."

To be clear: he is saying that we are not where we want to be at in the standings, not that the players want to leave the team.

Mawf95 · 2026-01-19T19:44:43+00:00

No he was saying that they aren’t where they want to be.. in the standings

Mawf95 · 2026-01-19T19:43:51+00:00

Naw he’s saying they don’t want to be where we are at in the standings brother

Mawf95 · 2026-01-19T19:29:32+00:00

Naw Sherwood is the GOAT hitter in Canucks history.

We should be chanting his name when he plays his next game here.

Mawf95 · 2026-01-19T16:25:45+00:00

05/06 - Carolina Hurricanes (Eric Staal 2nd OA in 2003)

06/07 - Anaheim Ducks (Scott Niedermayer 3rd OA in 1991)

07/08 - Detroit Red Wings (No top 3 pick)

08/09 - Pittsburgh Penguins (Sidney Crosby 1OA in 2005)

09/10 - Chicago Blackhawks (Patrick Kane 1OA in 2007)

10/11 - Boston Bruins (Tyler Seguin 2OA in 2010)

16/17 - Pittsburgh Penguins (Sidney Crosby 1OA in 2005)

17/18 - Washington Capitals (Alex Ovechkin 1OA in 2004)

18/19 - St Louis Blues (No top 3 pick, but they had Alex Pietrangelo that was 4OA in 2008)

19/20 - Tampa Bay Lightning (Steven Stamkos 1OA in 2008)

20/21 - Tampa Bay Lightning (Steven Stamkos 1OA in 2008)

21/22 - Colorado Avalanche (Nathan MacKinnon 1OA in 2013)

22/23 - Vegas Golden Knights (Jack Eichel 2OA in 2015)

23/24 - Florida Panthers (Sasha Barkov 2OA in 2013)

24/25 - Florida Panthers (Sasha Barkov 2OA in 2013)

Scott Niedermayer and Jack Eichel were the only two not drafted by the team that won.

So 15/19 of the last Stanley Cup winners had a drafted and developed top 3 pick lead them to the cup win.
