  1. I'd like to discuss trading Max Brown. Is there a thread where I can do that?

      I think there is an ECHL rumors and discussion thread somewhere already.

  2. Please don't spam with the loui face emoji. Use it sparingly and only if you are truly "loui" about the content in a post...NOT to shadow a user or make a point.

  3. Canucks have over $10M in salary cap with Ferland on IR. It is not a salary cap issue. Benning is being limited by management in how much money he can spend. He also did not want to hand out 4-6 year deals because it does not align with the rebuild plan. Most of the potential targets for Canucks wanted term. As far as Stecher goes, there was simply no room for him here. It's time to see if the prospects can do better. I don't believe the Canucks are going to take as far a step back as you all think.

      With regards to the Toffoli contract too, I wonder if the next contracts of Miller, Boeser, and Horvat are in mind.  Might have been why he doesn't want to go 4 years on Toffoli.

      there's also the possibility of a trade with Tampa, if we can nab Cernak by taking a F we need TTs spot to pull that off. 

    4. Baer.

      Baer.

      I don't think money had anything to do with Toffoli.

       

      He wanted a 4 year deal and Canucks can't offer that.

  4. If you haven't already, cancel your Netflix subscription. If you are wondering why, just look up #CancelNetflix hashtag on twitter because it would be inappropriate to post the content they put out on this website.

      @Baer. No. This is literally the definition of cancel culture.

      Warhippy

      If you're willing to cancel Netflix over a show about dancing kids (which is gross by the way) but you're not willing to cancel Halloween because of the hyper sexualized children's costumes, sit the hell down.

       

      Went costume shopping with my 9 and 12 year old today and I saw crap for 10 year olds I wished my wife would wear in private for me.

       

      This is a hot button issue and rightfully so, but don't pretend to be the moral police piggybacking on a serious issue unless you're willing to commit please

      Might as well cancel Christmas while we are at it. This old fat creepy guy, sneaks into your house and watches your children, when they sleep.

  5. The confused react is nearly as destructive as an atomic bomb. Before you confuse react somebody, think about how it might hurt somebody. To the people out there who have been confused reacted....we are here for you.

      I reacted to this update with a confused emoji to show that I am truly confused. I would never use it in any other way.

  6. Need GMs for a sim league here on CDC. Who's interested?

      Nope, hit from behind last game. Slow-mo replay showed his right knee bounce off the boards really hard.

  9. Who is this Ted guy and why does he talk so much?

  10. Hypothetical question:

     

    Josh Leivo is in his contract year pacing 43 points. Do you give him $3M or let him walk?

      I think we'd have a riot on our hands, and maybe a mutiny from Petey, if they moved Boeser. I think they'd demand a 1st or maybe even Podkolzin.

      your probably right jimmy, but i’m just saying imo zucker would be the best winger for bo. 

    4. J-Dizzle

      J-Dizzle

      Zucker would be great but expensive... wonder what the cost would be on a guy like Bailey or maybe Connolly?

  11. I thought the Canucks were gonna wear the flying V for the game? 

    80s night with skate jerseys? Lol

    1. Chickenspear

      Chickenspear

      Well, the skate was intro'd in '85, and the "V" is butt #*$&ing ugly. Just my assumption.

    2. Baer.

      Baer.

      I guess. Just kinda surprised when I went to see the highlights and they weren't wearing the flying V. What's the point of even making the jerseys if you aren't going to play in them

       

       

      Oh yeah that's right. Money.

      I hate it when highlights like this show up.  Guaranteed someone tries this on me next time I'm on the ice.  Even my own guys, in warmup.  ::D

      I still remember when this guy scored his first goal then got sent down right after

      Ahh yes, Shirokov, the player who looked like he might be able to contribute but was immediately demoted.

      I don't ever recall a game well officiated by this guy.  That hook on Pettersson last night was one of the most flagrant demonstrations of his complete incompetence.  When Pettersson hit Hall later in the game I figured he was getting five and a game, then couldn't help laugh he calls Hall for diving.  I think this guy may actually rig these games.

  16. Fun fact: Nils Hoglander is teammates with another former Canucks draft pick... Taylor Matson 6th round in 2007.

      I'm sure there are dozens of equally awful first round picks.

      @Tortorella's Rant The return of Brad Lukowich and Christian Ehrhoff made that one easier to swallow. For me it was Nathan Smith.followed by RJ Umberger. After getting Bryan Allen and the Sedins the 2 years before, they NEEDED to load up on young talent after the 90's team was dismantled. RJ Umberger holding out because he wanted 1 million dollars and we get Marty Rucinsky and Martin Grenier out of it. Sweet. No return for Nathan Smith and he was only ever known for his indecent exposure while with Pittsburgh, I believe.

    4. Huggy!

      @Tortorella's Rant bleackey, beach, Krahn, were worst. white was drafted late in the round to.

      It is a very lofty claim

      @Baer. I want to see guys get 150+ points again tbh. The more goals the better imo, also if we could get to the point of 7-4 or 9-7 games. Hockey as a whole would grow big time. USA/Europe/North Asians would be more interested imo.

       

      Pens are insane. Without Malkin to

    3. BrockBoester

      BrockBoester

      Yes but have they scored 8?

       

      :bigblush:

    4. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      A healthy Letang goes a long way to supporting their offense with Malkin out

       

      Helps that Crosby's still one of the best too 

  22. Elliotte Friedman said Canucks are kicking tires on Mark Pysyk from Florida. Winnipeg, New Jersey also interested.

      Friedman needs to be informed Gillis was fired years ago, we trade with all 30 teams now!

      @6string Which team would Gillis not deal with?

    4. 6string

      6string

      He did most of his deals through Fla.

  23. Kulikov on LOA. Winnipeg just can't catch a break. Probably weakest defense in league now.

    1. higgyfan

      higgyfan

      Jets are in a desperate situation.  Most of their rds have little NHL experience and now the left side is looking pretty grim.  The Pysyk rumour makes me wonder if the Nucks are thinking about moving Tanev.  The Jet's desperation could garner a very nice return, I suspect.

  24. Are there any journalist websites that write articles on every NHL team? TSN/Sportsnet/Athletic only care about leafs.

    1. goalie13

      goalie13

      I've actually been fairly impressed by some of The Athletic's coverage of the Canucks.  There are have been some pretty good articles on there and since you can edit your preferences, you don't get bombarded by Leafs crap.

    2. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      Not writing, but The Hockey Guy on YouTube covers all the teams pretty fairly.
