Honestly, his role needs to be on another team. He is far too streaky. Good when he’s good, bad when he’s bad. He cannot be relied on to be a regular contributor on this team. VO would be a moved if I were KA and this summer is the time.

I think the kicking the puck i rule is a joke. They should all count. But there is no way that Hudson didn’t kick that in. What a joke call by Toronto.

Well we took 5 out of 8 against them this year and werein a position to get 6, maybe 7 or 8. We play like this against the rest of the league we will be ok.

So does everyone still hate Stillman?

I don’t know, the blatant trip on Okposo missed late and Sammy blocked shot penalty aren’t favorable decisions.

Never heard of him. Looked him up. Rochester?

I agree. I just don’t see them making it in and I wouldn’t be risking losing a trade at this stage. Lots of teams overpay at this time but only one team wins it all. This summer will be interesting I believe.

Kevin Bieksa just said and I quote, “we had guys who we added at the deadline and it ruined our team chemistry” So it is a thing. Would’ve been awesome for the playoff run.

Schenn wasn’t going anywhere but A) Toronto, B) Edmonton, C) Calgary or D) Ottawa. The Canucks respect Luke too much to do anything else. He wasn’t going to a team who wasn’t pretty much 💯 guaranteed to make the playoffs and A Canadian team. Schenn will re-sign with Vancouver in the summer. Sorry he was never going to Buffalo.

I don’t disagree with you. I think a lot of this goes to “do you want to be in Buffalo” and it’s difficult to know at this time of year. I think they should try and make some proactive moves if they’re there but I do think these young guys are still learning and maybe losing a buddy will have negative affects. I think the off season is the time to move guys. Anyway whatever. It sucks to not get in but it’s probably not happening either way this year.

Schenn was asked. He wanted to be back in BC to finish his career. He wasn’t going to the States again especially with his wife due a baby any day now. Canucks weren’t gonna move him anywhere else out of respect.

Detroit is “right there” and are selling. We are a point ahead and aren’t selling. We may be close but I still don’t see is getting in this year no matter what. Upsetting the chemistry may have more damage than good. Making trade’s doesn’t guarantee squat. Ranting and raving is only bad for your blood pressure. It is what it is.

I can gaurantee you Buffalo was not in Schenn’s go to list. I’d have loved him but he was never saying yes to Buffalo.

I’m ok with not panicking and making bad deals only to miss the playoffs still or get bounced in 4 or 5 IF they make it. Trades don’t guarantee a team makes it on unless they’re already firmly in (Boston) People need to chill a bit. KA has locked up huge core pieces and Dahlin is next. We have cap room yes but it’s not as much as it would seem when you start locking up Dahlin and Power etc. It’ll be interesting to see what happens but I’m in no panic. Waited this long. I can wait another year.

I don’t think we get JC from Arizona for the same price as Ottawa. They would’ve been asking for much more from us imo. Tom Wilson? We interested? Apparently Buffalo is not on his NTC list.

I don’t disagree but I think the issue here is chemistry. I really think KA doesn’t want to mess up the room. But surely Dahlin knows Bryson has to go for him to advance. We will find out soon.

If we miss this year but make it the next 10, isn’t it all worth it?

I don’t know what to think re:trades. Stillman deal we probably overpaid. We can’t have that happening too often. Our defense after top 3 is horrendous. We have a chance to get in this year but can’t mortgage the future. It’s too bad VO is in his “I don’t like scoring phase” as we head into the deadline. I believe he would be a good moveable piece for a team that needs scoring but alas, he has chosen not to do that currently. But it’s clear, we need to shore up our defense whether it’s now or in the summer. Still unsure about the net but if we have a real defense maybe that problem is sorted out?

An 8 game losing streak, and losses to the CBJ of the nhl will be the reason we miss the dance. Im all for not mortgaging now but it would’ve been swell to add two actual defenders and not have Tuch get injured.

Just too bad they’re dropping points to the worst team in the nhl

The killer goal at end of second is so frustrating

Who was it that have me heck for saying trap game? This is exactly what I meant. Not ready. Thinking about the harder game coming up.

Oh, and this is what I meant when I said trap game

How is it Buffalo doesn’t get calls from refs? I find it difficult to believe teams play absolutely perfect and don’t take penalties.
