  1. Give Bo the C already. This whole no captain thing is just stupid.

      I mean there's literally no point not giving Horvat the C now if they're just going to do it next year anyways.

  2. What to do with Loui Eriksson?

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      and what if he has a magical comeback with 20ish goals and 40ish points? Three team trade?

  3. Time to  trade some vets  and garbage plugs get rid of sutter, granlund, gaunce, pouliot, biega, gagner, schaller, delzotto, retain half erikssons contract send him east. I cant believe we spend more money on our trash d corp than nashville thats mindblowing  something benning should be fired for. Please let the regular season bump up tanev and edlers trade value they need to be gone at deadline. Literally petersson and gaudette cant do worse than these plugs

      LOL at trading Tanev and Edler. Unless Gudbranson and Hutton prove they're formidable, consistent top four defensemen this year there's no way we can afford to lose our two best defensemen.

  4. what do you think next years lineup will look like?

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      Very unlikely but if they somehow move Baertschi, Eriksson and Gagner and make that Nylander trade:

      Nylander-Horvat-Boeser
      Pettersson-Sutter-Virtanen
      Granlund-Gaudette-Leipsic
      Roussel-Beagle-Schaller
      Archibald, Motte

      Edler-Stecher
      Hutton-Gudbranson
      Hughes-Del Zotto

  5. Our bottom six is gonna be top 10 in the NHL next year

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      In terms of tough to play against probably top five.

  6. Just heard Jordan Peterson speak live. Thoughts about him in general?

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      Smart dude but unremarkable at best. Feeds off of angering people with his comments to stay in the media and would not be any more relevant than your average university professor if he didn't.

  7. Would Edler waive if Tanev was traded?

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      Doubt it, he loves Vancouver and will probably re-sign with us at a cheaper dollar amount.

  8. Do people really believe the Vancouver Canucks have a top 10 prospect pool in the NHL? 2017 draft looks like a homerun while 2016 other than Juolevi looks real bad.

     

    This concerns me. 2014 bad draft 2015 good draft. 2016 bad draft. 2017 good draft. If the pattern continues the Canucks 2018 draft will be meh at best or at worst they will whiff.

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      @RetroCanuck because we really missed out on some stellar players in the 2014 draft.

  9. trade tanev to isles for 12th overall 

    trade 7th and 12th and gaudette and lind for dahlin  do you think sabres would bite on that deal  4 prime assets for a future number one dman do you put this package out there for sabres.

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      Buffalo would pass. They're set up front and Dahlin will be one of the last pieces they need. Any package they want from us will have to include Demko and Juolevi at least.

  10. Chinese spam calls. That's a new one.

  11. Does Guentzel get suspended for the shoulder to Carlson's head just now? Very much the same hit as Wilsons but Carlson didn't even see Guentzel coming. 

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      @Twilight Sparkle Vrana got injured? The four I mentioned are potentially out due to suspension/injury.

      @Twilight Sparkle Could you imagine Washington trying to win one of these two games without Backstrom, Burakovsky, Carlson, and Wilson?

      @Dazzle Definitely frustrating to watch. Could be deja vu of last year when Niskanen got three games while Letang got one game for the exact same play.

  14. IMO, if I'm Benning, I go all-in on Bouchard. 7th Overall + Tanev for 5th Overall + 2nd round pick. Arizona does that trade, no problem.

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      @Tystick You commented on @Pears status by saying that his offer for 2nd overall (7th, 37th, Lind) was too much yet you've decided that giving away Tanev and seventh overall (our most valuable trade assets) to move up two spots and get a second round pick is somehow not too much?

  16. I THOUGHT TANKING DIDNT WORK GUYS!?!?!?!?!?!?

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      @DontMessMe If we won four more games in 2016 we would have the best goal scorer in the NHL today!

      If we won a few more games we would've picked #2!

  18. Just think Montreal had at one point:

    Subban

    Sergachev

    McDonagh

     

    That easily could be the best top 3 D in the NHL.  

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      In fairness, they never had those three on the team at the same time.

  19. At what point does it happen?

     

    Sooner or later, a massive deluge of high quality draft picks must exact the desired effect. Each individual prospect we analyze, will surely be enhanced by the quality of fellow prospects they're developing alongside.

     

    Is Benning Fr*cking with the tide to lift all boats?

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      Depends when they start playing in the AHL together. Syracuse has been good for Point, Gourde, Cirelli, Dotchin, Koekkoek, and Erne. Would expect this happen for Dahlen, Lind, Brisebois, Chatfield, Juolevi, and possibly Gaudette next year.

  20. The dream is dead. Can only hope we remain in the top 7 now. Bouchard, Boqvist or Dobson would be nice consolation prizes. Now watch us win out.  D'oh!!

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      There's no point in tanking, creates a bad environment for the young players who get used to losing.

  21. Wonder what the Canucks would have to offer to get Tom Wilson from the Capitals. 

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      @Undrafted What do you think the Caps would offer in a potential Orpik cap dump? Beck Malenstyn was a player the Canucks were looking at and hoping to pick if he reached the Jakub Stukel pick. Not sure the Capitals would give up a guy like that.

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      @Undrafted Agreed on Wilson's value, but I think the Caps are missing that cheaper middle six forward since both Johansson and Williams left the team in the offseason. Bit of an overpayment for Lars Eller too I think. Perhaps if the Canucks take Orpik's salary for next year?

      Granlund for Wilson? Granlund steps in and fills the void that Marcus Johansson left.

  24. John Carlson is gonna get paid this offseason.

    15 Goals, 49 Assists, and 64 points!?!?!?

    RHD, 6'3" 215lbs. 

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      Guessing Washington will try to move Oshie so they can retain Carlson.

  25. Can someone explain to me why Gudbranson being injured, and management knowing he was injured at the time, effects the value of signing him to a contract? Is the assumption that management is too stupid to make sure it’s not career altering? I can’t stand TSN. 

    1. TheHitman

      TheHitman

      Who's to say his durability issues weren't mentioned when they were negotiating? Surely if Gudbranson had an ironman streak going he'd have commanded 5M AAV.
