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. They sent him across the country to Toronto. How is that any different than sending him to Buffalo in terms of distance from his pregnant wife? Vancouver would have turned down a late 2nd in favor of Toronto's late 3rd to keep Schenn less than 90 miles closer to BC? 1 Quote

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. Quote

rickshaw Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 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. Just now, Contempt said: It's ok I didn't want him anyway. Would’ve been awesome for the playoff run. Quote
SabresVet Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 1 hour ago, DarthEbriate said: Although no one was considering Aho anywhere near the top 15. He was there for anyone until 35. Heck, the Sabres could've taken him at 21 (traded for Lehner) or 31 (traded for ROR). Sure, fine. Still leaves some top-end talent available they missed on. Quote

DarthEbriate Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 Marty Biron shows up on TSN Tradecentre to extol a 1-5 in each division for the playoffs, with 4-5 playing a best-of-3 so that you've got rest for everyone else and also dangle the carrot for more fanbases. Homer. 1 Quote

Homer. I was liking what they were saying about how seeding should be changed to reward regular season performance 1-16 doesn’t sound horrible honestly but I’d like 1-8 at least 1 1 Quote

Schenn will re-sign with Vancouver in the summer. Sorry he was never going to Buffalo. With the intent to bring Schenn back, it's hard to believe that Vancouver would give up a better draft pick just to make Schenn happy. It's straight-up malpractice. With due respect, I still feel that Adams could have had Schenn if he wanted him. Adams wasn't willing to pay the price. Quote

DarthEbriate Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Good pickup for NJ's 4th line. Lazar's numbers were garbage in Vancouver this season, but he wasn't given much to work with. He's also under contract for 1 more season, whereas Haula and Wood are expiring. Insurance for this year's playoffs and a solid 4th liner for next season. Edited March 3, 2023 by DarthEbriate Quote

DarthEbriate Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 Fun. LAK gives up on Lemieux heading into the playoffs. Obviously they're not worried about losing him for team chemistry. Quote

Taro T Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 So Lemieux finally ends up where he probably belonged all along. He and somebody else went to Filly for McEwan. D-bag finally ends up in the home of D-bags. 1 Quote
