      this is actually probably concerning for leafs fans. Wonder how his release will be affected. Can't stand that kid but man he is one hell of a player.

  1. JFresh (a hockey analytics guy on twitter) is dead to me if he's so blinded by the numbers, he can't see that losing Rome hurt the Canucks in 2011

      Rome hit was a momentum shift , losing him hurt because we were so depleted . But the real injuries that cost us were hammer, kesler. Both integral pieces .

  3. Just saw a comments on twitter, where someone said JP Barry mentioned Petey is looking for term and 10+M per season.  Am I in the minority that doesn't like those figures?  He's had injury history already, so I seriously question that amount.  Personally, I think a bridge under 8M should be answer, and if there is term, nothing over 9.

      @Patel Bure yeah we basically are forced into a bridge short term right now.

      @Patel Bure He is trending that way though, and if you get term you take it and lock your guy in.  Probably will make that much after his bridge anyways and it is nice to buy UFA years.

      10 mill with term such as 8 years is a no brainer. People are forgetting how good this kid is.

  6. If Elias signs an offer sheet above 10M, do you let him walk?

    1. Silky mitts

      Silky mitts

      anything will get matched . If its above 10 mill its with term .. that helps us out

  7. Please take away Jims phone before he makes another mistake. This would be 10x worse that Loui contract

      OEL knee is done, and that contract is horrid. Arizona would have to retain and give additional assets.

  8. So I keep seeing these coulda/shoulda Pod/Caufield comparisons popping up.  Don't the Canucks already have something very similar in our little swedish

     Hoagie?

      And come on lets cut it with the he's too small talk, nah he is looking like he will be elite. We don't need to tear down other team's players to prop up our own.  Talent speaks volumes these days not just size , case in point the MVP of the playoffs so far Brayden Point.

      this is such a stupid argument right now, first of all he went 5 picks later. So did all other gm's flub it? That draft class is stacked the only duds it looks like so far are oilers and flyers. Benning is a dunce but this isn't one of those scenarios. It actually makes relatively no sense. I'm also quite high on podz he will be a great top 6 addition.

  11. Would Burrows hoisting the cup with Montreal ease the pain of 2011 at all for you?

  12. Jets fans: how mad is the fan base at Scheifele? 

  13. If Jersey drafts Luke Hughes, do we trade them Quinn so he doesn’t walk for nothing once he gets the chance to join his brothers?

      This is such an irrational fear. Maybe they will eventually down the line, but they will be in their 30's when that happens imo. The bank will be opened for Hughes here and he seems to have bonded well with our young core. Also helps that Vancouver $&!#s on new jersey as a city.

  14. would you do 1st overall pick and Hogs for Barzel?

  15. anyone going to the fire benning protest?

  16. the whole toffoli thing alone should be enough to get a GM fired. what a mess

  17. Can someone please explain to me why Benning gets all the heat but Green gets a free pass despite having a record similar to Willie Desjardins while he was here?

    1. Silky mitts

      @canuktravellawhat you mean he won two playoff rounds and took Vegas to 7? I wouldn’t mind both going but this is definitely on Jimbo more so than coaching .

      Benning is a complete dog $&!# GM. What more do you want the coaches to do when the roster is complete garbage.

  19. Rough calculations now suggest about a 10-5-0 record will get us into the playoffs assuming Montreal doesn't improve.

     

    Also, if we were to win 14 of our remaining 15 games, the Canadiens would need a perfect 10-0 record to tie us (indicative of the 8 point discrepancy between the two teams).

      Still highly unlikely but you never know.

  20. Who’s  played  last game as a canuck last night   once canuck break is over its 11 days to trade deadline. Edler for a 2nd half cap retained, Myers for a 1st with mill retained. Pearson for  a 2nd half cap retained, Sutter for a 3rd, Benn for a 4th.

    To many playoffs we need to go 15-2-1  not happening  getting picks is key  can use them to get more prospects or use them as help to unload roussel, eriksson contracts be nice freeing up that 9 mill extra. Hope benning makes these deals.

      Edler should be approached doubt he moves. Never know a contender might pony up. Hamonic you shop, benn shop, sutter please gtfo, beagle and roussel are so trash no one wants them, if a team offers a first for motte you take it .

  23. Rumours continue. How long does JB last?

      Hes already done. They are actively looking for the replacement already. He is gone for sure end of the year.

  24. Remember when we were falling from 2011 grace and our top prospects were Jensen, Gaunce, Shinkaruk, Horvat, Corrado, Subban, Lack, McNally, Labate, and Tommernes (in no particular order) 

    1. Silky mitts

      Silky mitts

      Benning needs to go , we have some good pieces , he is not the man to take this roster to the next level. He has shown his terrible incompetence already. Good drafter, terrible at basically every other aspect.
