  1. Honestly, I’m a Pearson fan but this is about the best case scenario for a cap dump. We’ve upgraded backup goalie, moved out enough to be cap compliant, and moved out one of the 763 active wingers on our roster. Not bad.
  2. The Burrows thread has to be the obvious winner here. It’s been years and we have still managed to keep that thread going strong. I also appreciate every time we overreact on random rumors like “Canucks linked to possible trade for this player” and then we turn it into a 100 page thread despite having absolutely no information only to be disappointed once we don’t trade for them. I also appreciate going way back and seeing some people being super hyped years ago the day we signed Loui Eriksson and then seeing years later those same people pretending like they hated it from the start and saying they knew it was a terrible signing in from day 1 every time we start one of the 40 yearly threads about the worst signings/trades in Canucks history.
  3. VC at the trade deadline and on July 1st are the two greatest yearly experiences over the past several years. I hope you’ll be joining us on the new forum Dan Murphy, I mean, VC.
  4. I’m really bummed about this and I wish we had a reason for why this is happening, especially right when the new season is beginning. I already joined the new forum but I feel like it won’t be quite the same. I don’t post all that often but I do check the boards almost daily and have for years. Having grown up in Southern California, I never had Canuck fans to bond with in person. This forum has been a great way for me to connect with people who love the team I love and share my passion for this team. I think it’s unfair for anyone to take that away from us. Now I live in Washington so I get to go to a few home games a year and be around fans more which is great but this still a such a great outlet for me and so many others. Really really sucks.
  5. I hate the 8 year maximum. I think it benefits both the player and the team to max out at 5 years or 4 years if you’re a UFA going to a new team. It baffles me that teams are willing to take such big risks that a player will be as productive in 8 years. The worst is UFA players signing with a new team long term. Loui Eriksson being a prime example. Going to a new team means learning how to play with new players and in a new system. I feel like UFA player’s constantly play down to their contracts and often end up being bad deals.
  6. I think the two obvious ones are Hodgson and Virtanen. Being high draft picks both had pretty high expectations and neither one really did much. Eriksson coming off a 30 goal season and then becoming a disaster here is hard to ignore. Messier is a tough one to say because he didn’t play horribly while he was here for a guy of his age. But he was also kind of a team killer for a guy that was supposed to be a leader so it’s a fair assessment to put him on the list.
  7. Why are we hoping to be bottom feeders the next two years… How about we hope this team succeeds and picks in the 20s.
  8. That salary shows they are confident he is a roster player after being sent down last year. Really still feeling like something is gonna happen with a winger. I’d be very surprised if he’s not starting the season on that 3rd line. But with Mik, Kuz, Beau, Garland, Podz, Brock, and Hogz, and if Pearson is able to play, it’s gonna be interesting to see what our top 3 lines are looking like and who gets left out. Still definitely time for a trade or two.
  9. I really want Connor Clifton. Clifton, Soucy, and a decent bottom 6 forward and I’ll be a happy camper.
  10. We can’t announce signings until 9am. Still got a few hours unfortunately.
  11. It almost sounds like you’re trying to justify this behavior… I don’t want Cole on my team. Hes up there in age, he’s been in hot water off the ice for character concerns, and frankly there’s just better options probably at better prices. He’s on my avoid list for sure.
  12. In before thread gets locked and half our fan base is disappointed because they are ignorant.
