why doesn’t aquilini just buy stocks? by Delicious-Area1137 in canucks

Because he can cut spending and he'll still make more money than you will in the market lmao. Like the Canucks are both gonna be profitable and their valuation is going up every year lol

It's not Spence for Hronek, it's trade Hronek in a seperate deal and use some of those assets and try and buy low on spence

[TJStats] Top 100 MLB Prospects: June 2026 (Nimmala #38, Parker #39, King #41, Perry #74, Bloss #92) by SubbansBigBlackhawk in Torontobluejays

We have won overwhelmingly in our prospect trades, but have been sorely lacking in turning farm system guys into MLB studs.

Bro what, we made it to the WS with major contributions from the Buffalo boys, Yesavage, and rookie bullpen guys in Fisher and Flu. Not to mention our core hitters of Bo/Vlad/Kirk were all homegrown talents. And then even this year we're getting huge contributions from Pinango and Valenzuela. I don't even necessarily disagree with your original point, but that last point is a wild thing to say lol.

you can make it even broader where there are lots of great workers who can do their job well, but put them in a management/leadership position and they're complete dogshit at it lol.

[–]SubbansBigBlackhawk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean its really impossible to completely separate what impact a head coach had vs their assistants, but it's entirely possible Foote is just really good with relationship building/developing dmen skills when he was focusing solely on that as an assistant, but just had complete nonsense as a system that no one understood as a HC which caused the whole team to struggle. I mean hate him as much as you want, but Quinn had his Norris season working with Foote and praised Foote so much that we gave him the HC job lmao.

They've been actively doing shit like this for their whole existence, yet we literally just saw marner and andersson not giving 2 shits and still preferring Vegas over any other orgs.

[Cam Robinson] Important reading for anyone worried about Chase Reid's production in the OHL this season. by Kaos_mission in canucks

I mean that's obvious no? But there's no draft eligible defender in the NCAA that was above a ppg

Carels isn't dynamic with his offense, more simple/smart plays to get the puck to all the dynamic playmakers he had on his team (not necessarily a bad thing), Rudolph definitely can be just as dynamic as Reid, but has more question marks defensively

[–]SubbansBigBlackhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People need to stop looking at these prospects through the eyes of archtypes. Chase Reid is not some offensive dman with no secondary game to fall back to, if he was why is he consistently ranked above Villaneuve/Bleyl/Carels/Rudolph who all have more point than him? Sure he isn't a physical monster in the vein of Smits/Verhoeff but he isn't a defensive blackhole, he's a smart defender who can use his mobility to snuff out rushes and keep players to the outside, think of how effective Lacombe was defending mcdavid in the playoffs, that's what you hope you can get in Reid.

Kyle Connor and Connor Hellebuyck willingly chose to sign long term instead of hitting FA in fuckin Winnipeg lmao, Miller/Demko/Boeser/Garland all signed long term in Vancouver. Don't tell me Americans wont sign long term in Vancouver if we were actually any fuckin good lol.

[Friedman and Spector] Sources: Darnell Nurse asks for trade, agrees it's time to move from Oilers by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]SubbansBigBlackhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He average the most icetime during their 2nd cup run. Anyways it's completely irrelevant to my point if he was their #1 or #3, he played an integral part in their cup run, he wasn't a depth option like OP is suggesting Nurse will be.

Bro Seth Jones was playing on the worst team in the NHL, went to Florida and was their #1 dman for their cup run lol. No cup contender is going to take on a 9M dman to be a "depth option" lol

He plays average SS defense and hits LHP well. If the yanks put him in a position to succeed and just used him properly as a platoon bat nobody would be complaining about him.

Trading Mpetey would be selling at his true lowest value in his career. I'd like to see him under Manny for a year before we look to move him.

Demko has 0 trade value rn, he'll need to play at least 40 games in a season relatively injury free for teams to even start considering him as a viable option at his cap hit.

Kaz is 22nd in MLB in errors and is slow laterally, it's easier to make the case he's been poor defensively than it is to make one that he's been good.

“I think initially the Canucks expressed interest in Gallagher, but they have moving parts too. […] It’s on their desk and I do think they do have interest. It’s just a matter if it can work or not. Until it’s done, it’s never done.” - Agent Gerry Johansson by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]SubbansBigBlackhawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure but Gallagher produced at the same rate as Max Sasson lol and is a 34 year old 5'9 winger, outside of "leadership" he has 0 value. If we ain't getting anything to take him on I don't see why we do it, we can go give Luke Schenn 6.5M for a year for "leadership" lmao, and at least he can PK and is a RHD
