  1. Shocking and sad news. I liked Botch...he was colourful and opinionated, entertaining. As a long time, frustrated and disappointed Canucks fan, when he ripped the Canucks, I felt like he was speaking for me. RIP man. Sincere condolences to his family.
  2. Bingo. Exactly my point. A whale is not a Canuck.
  3. Symbol of the west coast? So are cedar trees, salmon, rain and the ocean, but they have nothing to do with a Canuck and don't belong on the uniform. The logo should match the nickname and a whale is not a Canuck. EVERY other team in the NHL has a logo that fits the team name or city. Except us...we still cling to a corporate symbol of the previous owner. What a piece of crap. Johnny Canuck or the Stick and Rink. I ain't buying anything else.
  4. Good argument here for PK, but I'd be very leery of using our #10 pick to get him. That pick, if used on a D man, would likely yield a player who will play when PK's current deal is up. I hope Benning plays hardball...Nashville needs to clear cap. We're doing them a favour by taking this huge contract...the price has to be reasonable and not our first rounder this year.
  5. Then change the &^@#ing name to Vancouver Orcas. Now that would make sense. Otherwise, A canuck is not a whale. Dump the orca already. Worst logo in the league.
  6. Lets just change the name to Vancouver Smoke Eaters and be done with it. Logo is a forest fire fighter.
  7. Thank you. Excellent. EP can season in Sweden for 3 more years then. He should be ready then!
  8. My only concern is his contract status. A drafted player who does not sign for 2 years becomes draft eligible again. Can this happen with EP? Otherwise, no concerns. He's still a kid and Canucks will suck again next year. What's the rush? He'll get bigger and stronger and be that much better in 2019-20.
  9. I'd say the rebuild is 50% done, or less. Until some of our good forward "prospects" show they can play and produce in the NHL, we are still rebuilding. We need a LOT more D prospects too...we are thin in this area. Demko looks great...but again...he has to prove it. We have a LONG way to go still folks, but it's looking better
  10. wtf? Pettersen for captain? How ridiculous. He won't even make the Canucks next year. How about let the kid develop, at his own pace and let him become a good NHLer before even thinking about the C. The Oilers made McDavid captain after his first year....a huge mistake. They should have just let the kid play...now he has to deal with being captain of a losing team at age 21. No way I want that for any of our young players.
  11. This topic is about Elias Petterson. Moderator.....enough already. Can you tell these guys to please shut the &^@# up about McDavid. thank you
  12. And all that skill helped us to a 29th place finish. At this point, we're 3-5 years away from being competitive, so Sutter is just a placeholder. He'll be irrelevant and likely gone when we're competitive again.
  13. Bang on. Miller certainly earned his salary in his 3 years with us and has been a great leader. One of Benning's first signings and maybe the best.
  14. Us Canuck fans are such a fragile bunch...we are so used to first round busts that any little sign of trouble and we're in panic mode. And I get that. I would have loved to see OJ perform like Chabot did with Canada. Maybe OJ will surprise us next year at training camp. If Werenski can make Columbus at 19 maybe OJ can do the same. Fingers crossed!
  15. Going to be an interesting negotiation with Tryamkin. He's still raw with tons of potential...what is that worth? I"d say somewhere between 2 and 2.5 million for per season for as long as he will sign for is about right...same as Hutton. I wouldn't give him Sbisa type money yet. They also have to sign Bo and Gudbranson to new deals. Guddy is going to want a big payday, but I'm not sure he's worth more than Tanev ($4.5 mill).
  16. Hyped? By whom? We hardly heard anything about him until he signed his contract.
  17. Obviously Higgins and Burrows are not the "future" of the Canucks, so moving them is logical at some point. Problem is contracts and cap hits and lack of production. I think Burrows has two more years at $4.5 per ...that is not an easy contract to move, unless we take back a bad contract...and what is really gained from doing that?
  18. Just once I'd like to see a Canuck prospect rip it up at the WJC. 10 goals by the USA today and zip from Brock. Same as Virtanen. No goals in 3 games. Ugh. .
  19. Good post! Relax people...hae you ever heard a GM come out and say..."we don't like so and so and we're planning to trade him". It never happens, for a lot of good reasons. Patience folks...the Canucks won't be remade in a day...it's going to take some time. Next step is the draft and that is 3+ weeks away still.
  20. Good riddance! Finally...should have fired him at least a year or more ago. Now we don't have to listen to anymore arrogant assinine interviews from Gillis..thank god. Note to Canucks: bring in someone with credibility and who is well regarded in the NHL. Time to change the image of the Canucks from being the "most hated" to a respected organization. It starts at the top and this is a good change.
