StarDew 54 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I had mixed feelings when I first heard about the trade however I understand it. I was really, really upset when we traded Henrique. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AEWHistory 81 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) On 2/16/2020 at 7:39 PM, MB3 said: Sort of annoying — if the Canucks miss the playoffs this year, the pick slides to 2021. So we have to hope for a last second slip in to the playoffs and a quick first round exit. True, but I haven’t read anything about the pick having any protections next year. The ideal scenario then actually becomes the Canucks missing the playoffs this year and then collapsing completely next year. We can’t get their first rounder in the top end of the round this year, but if it isn’t lottery protected then we could theoretically have two shots at the number one pick next year. At the least we could get a very high pick next year instead of a later pick this year. If the Devils find that the player they want can be picked later then they’d be able to trade back and add even more assets. This Coleman trade could be parlayed into a potentially huge haul with some luck. So here is to whomever is player the Canucks today..... kick their asses for the next season and a half! Now please excuse me while I take another hit......... yea, that’s the stuff. Edited February 18, 2020 by AEWHistory 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is essentially what happened to the Senators in the Duchesne / Turris deals and it eventually cost them the 4th overall. Not sure that will happen to the Canucks but who knows if a guy like Petterson gets a long term injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DevsMan84 2,366 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is indeed overall better than Star Trek: The Motion Picture. They released a new director's cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture a decade or so ago that is actually quite better than the theatrical release. The director, Robert Wise of The Sound of Music fame, cut finishing the movie so close that he had to physically bring the "finished" copy to the premier of the movie. He stated many times over the years that the theatrical cut was not really is vision. The main changes with the director's cut was the completion of several special effects shots that were somewhat incomplete in the theatrical cut, the addition of some special effects shots that clarified the story and visuals a bit (and getting a better look at the film's antagonist, V'Ger), and the cutting of several minutes of the cast literally staring at the viewscreen on the bridge. That last part was a huge complaint of the theatrical cut as many felt half the movie was literally the theater audience watching the cast watching the Enterprise bridge viewscreen. The new director's cut did certainly close the relative gap in terms of quality between the two films but Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is still indeed better and more in the spirit of the original show.

jagknife 3,583 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 So real quick trade injection here in the middle of this sequel talk, lol Pronman’s analysis of Foote’s game has me excited if for no other reason than “he will drive into the dirty areas,” something we didn’t do AT ALL last night. I’m no advanced stats guy by any means but the graph Todd Cordell posted of us taking ZERO shots from the slot pisses me off to no end. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just find it really amusing how much they try to sound smarter. At least it is not yet on the cringe level as when these pseudo hockey bloggers write "player x is a treat to watch." Sorry but that gets my skin crawling lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
