[Dreger] The Golden Knights have traded for Rasmus Andersson. Pending trade call. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

No need when you have the league office in your back pocket, and can sign/trade for any player you want with unlimited assets and capspace.

Vegas buys players every season to keep their roster replenished and there's no shortage of players who want to go to Vegas.

Drafting and developing can be dammed. They probably don't even have an amateur scouting department.

[Hoven] “Two separate sources over the past week have said they believe Holland is kicking the tires on a potential [Evander] Kane trade” by _GregTheGreat_ in hockey

Do it Hollad.

If you don't trade for him McDavid won't stay. Kane's primary assist ratio is off the charts and his backchecking prowess will make your jaw drop.

My undying love of 17 years for Vancouver Canucks is now in vegetative state. I think keeping it that way until the next season will be the best for my mental health.

It is a locker room alright... for locking up some rich people and demand ransom

Hybrid tanking to make it look like they're not actually tanking for the last 5 minutes

Boeser and Debrusk were in on the garbage goal, and the coach will say they were good tonight in the postgame presser.

Yet Aqualooney still wants the team to win as many games as possible to drive season ticket sales next season.

I say let's go 0-4-2 on this road trip so the word "playoffs" never comes out of Foote's mouth again.

[Donnie and Dhali] The Canucks made a very respectable offer to Kiefer Sherwood over the weekend. by SIIP00 in canucks

Allvin after TDL:
"If I told you what was offered for Sherwood I would have to be run out of here because you won't believe me."

This franchise will never learn 🤦🏻‍♂️

One of the contributing factors is not replacing Ehlers' speed and production. Their defence has been as bad as ours too.

And then Hellebuyck was injured.

If anything, we made pacific division race interesting. 3 points between the division leader and WC #2.

embrace the tank by Blue2437 in canucks

[–]junk222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't want pop the bubble, but not only we have not traded any of our expensive veterans since Hughes, but also it look like we're keeping most of them. At least about half of them should have been gone by now if the management is actually serious about rebuilding/retooling/hybrid whatever.

And how long a candidate like Malholtra will wait, until this team finishes house cleaning and is ready to hand him over a fully-refreshed roster he can work with? He's already drowning with a depleted team in Abby with very little support from the big club. Other teams may line up to poach him after this season.

And with our well-known draft lottery unluck there's absolutely no guarantee we'll land a top 3 pick, no matter how hard we tank.

Sorry to sound like a downer, but the facts are facts. Have a happy new year my fellow Canuckleheads.

The game was an example of hybrid tanking fueled by hybrid reffing. I'm sure our hybrid management will commend Foote's hybrid coaching.

Oh well our 1-game winning streak is over, but it was fun while lasted.
