  1. http://cfjctoday.com/article/604181/vancouver-whitecaps-transfer-canadian-defender-sam-adekugbe-norwegian-club Well, out goes Ousted and Adekugbe. These could have been 2 quality players for us this upcoming season, so with them out the door Robbo has some work ahead of him to fill the roster out. Time will tell if he's successful
  2. That would be worrying, I think Sutter provides that veteran leadership that most poo-poo on given his salary, yet it's so vital for a team hoping to have its young guys learn the way of the nhl.
  3. http://theprovince.com/sports/soccer/mls/vancouver-whitecaps/whitecaps-roll-out-welcome-mat-for-centre-back-doneil-henry Harvey our, Henry in. I like this move, simply for the fact that we get younger and get another young Canadian on the team (yes he's normally a center back, but can also play fullback). Harvey was great for us, but the past few seasons he's been a bit of a liability defensively and isn't going forward nearly as much as he used to. Here continues another offseason of wholesale changes...
  4. Kid's a gamer with a good head on his shoulders. He is going to do great for us!
  5. Agreed, and unfortunately for David, a lot cheaper than if Ousted was around. That money should hopefully be spent on a dp CAM or another striker for Kamara to pair with
  6. I get the feeling that once Guance scores his first goal, more will come rapidly. He's gripping the stick pretty hard at the moment and also dishing to others in better scoring opportunities (as he should). Once one goes in, the burden of "1 goal in his entire career" will be lifted and he can relax a bit!
  7. No denying that you're right. I think it will take a change in ownership for that to happen though
  8. I think you just hit the nail on the head with the Caps struggles the past few years in the playoffs: lack of team cohesion. It's tough to gel and go to battle with each other when the pinpoint of our attacking line keeps changing every year! Hopefully with Kamara here, that will change things and get us going.
  9. Couldn't agree more, hes always been a project, but is coming along nicely! If he can get to 10-15goals this year (not out of the question) while playing a consistently responsible game, I'd count that a successful year!
  10. Instead, they were the laughing stock on the draft floor.... how the mighty have fallen!
  11. Wowza, he's got quite the release! Loving what Benning is doing, targetting young players who can rip the puck
  12. It really shouldn't make me this happy to see the pitiful attempts at drafting Boston showed in 2015, but I can't help it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  13. Pretty sweet to see two future canuck hopefuls on the same line. Fingers crossed they stick together and have some nice chemistry for the tournament!
  14. Brock is a star in the making, we just need to temper the expectations a bit and let him learn to cope with slow times (which unfortunately will eventually come). That shot is so lethal though, he really is quite an asset for our power play, I just wish he was setup more!
  15. Is it that hard to believe that the kid and his fiance (who speaks no English nor has any friends here in Vancouver when Nik is out of town) got homesick? He made the decision that, rather than continue on and have issues with their marriage, a return to Russia would be best for both. He definitely didn't close the door on Vancouver forever and his fiance still was wearing gloves from Van in that snapchat picture, so maybe she hasn't too. It just wasn't right for her this time
