For those who thought 8.5M was too much, just you watch - that's a bargain for a 27 year old top line center who is scoring at a 50 goal pace. Now he's getting his name chanted, he's playing the sniper role, I think we'll see him really flourish. His offensive talents are plain to see but we never played him as an offensive center because of Petey. While that's justified, I think he was never respected as much as he is now. Even having a huge year this year, he ran second fiddle to Petey. Miller went all over the place, but this Canucks team was sadly never revolving around Bo - it was Petey's, then Miller's last year. I always thought it'd be nice to put them on a line together but we never loaded up. Not ONCE did the Canucks play him with their best player, Pettersson. Now he moves to NYI and they basically build the team around him - he's on their top line playing with their best player in an offensive role. ![]() Even as our captain he never earned the recognition he deserved for putting up consistent 30 goal seasons and being good at the center role. Hey! We covered this! You have to call them Chippettes because that's what they're actually called in the show! It keeps the haters and woke crowd off their soapbox!Ībsolutely agree, we always viewed him as a 2nd line center, last year we thought of him as our 3rd best under Petey and Miller. Here's hoping JR, PA and The " Chipmunk Girls" have finally woken up and see what we've been forced to watch for the last decade and make the other additional changes that MUST BE MADE! Until more of the deadwood is removed - don't expect much change just because 1 player is gone! Once they get rid of the other floaters and freeloaders (and we all know who they are) thru trade, buyout or contract termination, we might start to see some tangible results. His departure was very intentional and decide upon a long time ago and as I stated several times over the past year, I firmly believe the real reason he's gone is that the new management wanted to get new leadership to gut the team locker room of the complacency and "West Coast Country Club" atmosphere that this team has had for over a decade. Bo wasn't traded to get a draft pick and a couple of players - Nor - was he traded due to cap restrictions.
