I suffer delusions of grandeur
Yeah, the Canucks are a surprising bad team, a little bit like that Habs last season, though it's still early to make definitive statements. Now insight is always right but if I remember correctly the Habs were one of the teams very interested in taking Pettersson, I wonder if the Canucks regret the deal, Hughes and Pettersson contracts aren't great contract or contexts for a team in a possible forced rebuild, it's a like the Habs being anchored by Price's contract.
Hughes and Petey fanboy here so I'd always find it difficult to let go! The thing is, on paper at least, the Nucks look good up top. I like the addition of Mikhiyev now he's found his skates and fitness...even if the contract may be considered a touch heavy.
The contracts that bother me more are probably OEL at 7.5 odd million a season until 36 and JT Milller at 8 million a year until 37ish. Two huge contracts that we need to see the return on now as they most likely won't age well...and that doesn't sound like a rebuild...nobody is going to take contracts like that on in a trade.
Anyway, I'm novice level so can't claim to have any idea what I'm talking about!!
Needed that win over Seattle. Not a great performance but got a bit of luck where needed. Great win this morning against Penguins. Genuinely wasn't expecting that and probably the level of performance we need to get back into the season.
Got the last 3 Habs highlights to watch now. Missus at work, kids entertained...
