LET. HIM. COOK.
🔥to 🐋
Another Dan Milstein victory 🫡
Welcome to Vancouver Nikita! Excited to have him in the line up!
Interesting, how’re we feeling?
HOLY FUCJ
ALL IN ON ALLVIN
Ain’t no way we got him for that
Holy fuck I can’t believe that’s all it took lol
Whattttttttttt! This admin is on fire 🔥
CHEF ALVIN FLEECED THE FLAMES
That’s basically free wtf??
NEW TOY
omg what is happening… PA is the man
This mfer is a Michelin star chef
HOLY COOK ALLVIN
ALLVIN MASTERCLASS!!!!
So we essentially turned Beauvillier, a 3rd and 5th into Lafferty and Zadorov this season? Unreal
Edit: as u/nihilism_ftw pointed out I missed the extra 5th for Lafferty. Still great!
Wtf that’s all it took for Calgary to trade him to a division rival?
Can’t believe the flames would let him go to a divisional rival, at that price no less. Chef PA 🧑🍳 has been cooking recently…
Why would Calgary make this trade? It doesn’t make sense. Not complaining, but what?
EXCUSE ME AM I TRIPPING OR IS THAT DIRT CHEAP
HOLY SHIT CHEF ALLVIN
Can he play tonight? We could really use him tonight.
We are Canada’s team, now lets get McDavid for a 4th rounder please
Zaddy….baby….I’m sorry for all the things I’ve said. Welcome.
NOAH JUULSEN IS NO MORE
It’s honestly impressive how quickly Allvin turned around the dumpster fire that was the D core of the late Benning era into a pretty good one now
[removed]
CHEF ALVIN CONTINUES TO COOK, LET’S FUCKING GO!
He actually did it. Not a fan of Z but I’m okay with the price.
Flames fans are pissed about this trade lol
As a habs fan.. I must say your GM is on fucking fire
Lets goooo. Allvin gettin shit done
Basically Zaddy for Beau and a 3rd, freeing $450k in change
So our D when healthy would look like:
Hughes Hronek
Cole Zadorov
Soucy Myers
HOLY FUCK COMPARE TO LAST YEAR
It’s like Allvin came down to us from a higher league. Holy cow
Holy shit, I wasn’t big on zadorov because I assumed he’d fetch at least a second, but it seems since we have cap space we can get him for cheap. I guess Calgary really didn’t want to retain and other teams balked. I’m very happy with Zadorov as a 4/5 guy though. It was very important for us to add size and physicality to this team and this is the move that does that.
Can the Canucks still afford bear?
Wow, I wonder if theres still enough room to get something done with Ethan Bear still.
I would be comfortable going into the post season with this blue line.
– Hughes/Hronek
– Zadorov/Cole
– Soucy/Myers
– Bear
A fucken lol at some flames fans asking for Hoglander for Zadorov 😂
That seems…reasonable? This is a weird feeling as a canuck’s fan.
Wait, we got Zadorov for what Benning would throw in as an extra in a trade?
Sponsored by our Assistant General Manager, Mr. Dan Milstein
Do the Canucks have the biggest blueline in the league now?
Myers – 6’8, 230 lbs
Soucy – 6’5, 208 lbs
Zadorov – 6’6, 248 lbs
Half the blue line is over 650 lbs lol
Gonchar going to learn him.
Also [not a Putin supporter](https://www.tsn.ca/nikita-zadorov-explains-decision-to-speak-out-against-invasion-of-ukraine-1.2011220?tsn-amp):
> The 28-year-old blueliner, who was born in Moscow and has represented Russia internationally in the past, is the only NHLer to publicly speak out against the country’s invasion of Ukraine. He initially posted a photo to Instagram with the phrase “No War” on Feb. 25, 2022, a day after Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the full-scale invasion.
>Zadorov didn’t speak to reporters about the issue until this week, after his wide-ranging interview with Russian journalist Yury Dud was published. In the two-hour conversation, he gave candid thoughts on the invasion.
>”Instead of raising the new generation [of Russians], we sent them to die,” Zadorov told Dud.
