Canucks have fired basically the entire remaining Gillis head-office :lol

[yyzjohn]

Carlo Colaiacovo is still in the league?

 

[DopeyFish]

The colaiacovo experiment continues!

 

[Coldnoodle]

Ryan O'Reilly getting his brother a job.

 

[Curufinwe]

Carlo Colaiacovo is still in the league?

He was a really solid #7 for us last year. Played 30-something games, 16+ minutes. He got caught flat footed for breakaways sometimes, but surprisingly never missed a game thru injury.

He can probably still fill in as a #7D

This is why they should have rigged the draft to give Carolina the first pick. Nobody would pay attention except me!

Pretty sure Sportsnet would have established a base camp in Carolina.

NOTHING STOPS MCDAVIDMANIA

 

[TheKaeptain]

I don't even go to the beach as much as I should. It's always there. Like Disneyland.

Dude I feel like I should be at the beach everyday. Then I realize I don't have to because it will be there tomorrow.

Pls, they're so shitty they'd set it up in Charlotte not realizing that the Hurricanes play in the other side of the state.

 

[Mentok]

In other news, Chiarelli pinned McDavid down and forced him to sign a contract.

Edmonton wanted picture proof McDavid is happy to be an Oiler lol.

Manics grew up with him. Played video games and shit. Link is somewhere out there if you Google Manics and Colaiacovo.

 

[Jinaar]

I'll say this about McDavid: Kid talks gud.

Very well spoken and keeps on point.I hope he has a bright career starting in Edmonton and where ever it goes from there.

His post-ELC "thank you to the fans in Edmonton" full page ad is going to be a real tear jerker.

Wonder how long they rehearsed that.

 

[Coldnoodle]

*thinks back to the Katz promo*

McTavish is under the table giving blowies.

 

[Indrid Cold]

So how long was gaf out for? I tried to check on my laptop around midnight last night and got an endless loading screen then got on for 3min at 9am on mobile.

Also what's the point in firing burnstein? Management I can see but I thought pat was a good equipment guy.

Scorched earth approach to removing dissenters and/or Gillis's guys. Makes no damn sense, especially considering the Canucks were considered to have some of the best trainers/management in the league. If they fire Rollie, I'm out.

Why not do that when he was fired or when Trevor took over then? Ugh so dumb.

 

[Syph Medwes]

*thinks back to the Katz promo*

literally muted the TV lol

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Wonder how long they rehearsed that.

That was the worst thing from the draft

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Hope that $1M is worth getting sent to Ohio!

I'm surprised the Hawks offered so much, but they must be confident about getting rid of Bickell and Sharp.

10th in man games lost since 2009-10, and 2nd in quality. Interesting to note that LA, Boston, and Chicago are near the bottom of these rankings.

Congrats to @JRandalWard42 getting it done and signing with @SanJoseSharks #Scarlem

Treat him well Acid

FFS I just saw the most awful ad on the back of a Coca Cola truck today

It was a photo of Eugenie Bouchard holding a coke bottle with the text "Kissed by Genie"

Gross

Somewhat unexpected

She's doing it everywhere but on the court

:lol

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Wait a Minute.. The Sharks Signed Joel Ward?


FUCK SAKES

Damn you Acid

And Confirmed

@KKurzCSN: The #SJSharks have signed free agent forward Joel Ward - no further details at the moment

 

[cube444]

Somewhat unexpected

Not really. Retirement West coast contract.

 

[Acid08]

HELL FUCKING YEAH

 

[Yawnier]

MR CLUTCH is a shark

 

[cube444]

HELL FUCKING YEAH

Solid signing. He'd probably get $4M/per on a two year deal but with that third year and age a concern, $3.275M/per is quite fair.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Jumbo and Joel Ward.

Dang

Huh. Hadn't seen that before.

:lol

I'm obviously kidding, but I don't think it's a coincidence that the Canucks went from being a goalie graveyard to producing young NHL-calibre goalies (Schneider/Lack) as soon as Melanson was hired. I think he'll be integral to ensuring that Markstrom is ready to take over from Miller in a couple of years.

 

[cube444]

Ward is one of the true nice guys in the game. Easy to cheer for. Sharks can make the playoffs if they get goaltending.

 

[Foggy]

Saad, my man! Las Vegas revenue will raise the salary cap by $10 million all by itself, so I'm not sweating it. Not one bit.

 

[cube444]

I'm just glad that an Eastern contender didn't sign Ward.

 

[Calamari41]

I'm just glad that an Eastern contender didn't sign Ward.

Neither did a Western contender. Everyone wins.
