Gollumpus Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hmm, you said: Last time I looked Bernier and Sulzer were both playing in the NHL.The Canucks.org look like fools in how both of these moves panned out. When you begin worrying about the Canucks future you should look to small trades like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Derp is actually referring to somebody as being stupid as in denigrating them. Derp is an expression sometimes used online to signify stupidity.... "Crap","Superior","Allegations"......You have overdone yourself. I think you should just stick with calling other people stupid and call it a day and a year. Might want to work on that selective memory process you have going for yourself in the new year.

nuck nit Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 "The point you are trying to make is that Gillis gave up something to get Gragnani, and in the end had nothing, ergo Gillis is a failure, right?" regards,G You write novels and are a slow learner but painfully,eventually you get around to making a point. Gillis can hardly be termed a failure but if that is your take,so be it. I do agree the Gillis.org received eventually nothing in exchange for two NHL players,both still on active rosters. Hardly the stuff of legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babych Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Canucks don't have much as far as prospects go. No high end talent in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyHodgson's #1fan Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Im tottaly with your concern, i fear we only have a few years left until our window will shut for a long time.

Baggins Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Looks to me like Ballard was even more of a cap dump. Throw in Grabner and a !st rounder and.....ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 And we still have Ballard, who played better last season and was one of our better performers in the playoffs. And Florida has....a prospect yet to play a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 He played better last season? Huh? 2010-11: 65 GP, 2 G, 7 P, 53 PIM, +10 2011-12: 47 GP, 1 G, 7 P, 64 PIM, 0 I see an equal number of points, more PIMs, and a worse +/- rating. Where is the improvement? Less healthy scratchings? Amazing that you can say what you're saying with a presumed straight face. Even if Mike Gillis would've waived Michael Grabner, that would've been a mistake. Canucks' scouting & development staff have never exactly been accused of being the smartest guys in the room, any room, but Grabner was the fastest skater in the entire NHL, produced heavily in the AHL, and even was mostly very impressive during his 20-game stint with the Canucks prior to being traded. So I'm not sure what more evidence they would've needed before giving him more of a leash. Trading him was a mistake, as would've been giving up on him via waivers. Either way, an obvious mistake. Don't tell me that a guy who went on to score 34 goals in the NHL that same year "isn't good enough" for the Canucks, because that is a bunch of bollocks.

nuck nit Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Not selective at all - I very clearly remember your repeated references to posters you were belittling as "7-11" employees. And yet you hate the big bad owners and evil management. One minute you're a class snob, the next you're spouting working class ideology. Whatever nit. Happy new year.

Noheart Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 We're in trouble after about 5 years once the Sedins are done. Kesler will most likely retire around the same time as the Sedins due to his physical deterioration and the twins' excellent conditioning, leaving us with Gaunce and Schroeder as our only real centers. Canuck management are going to have to find centers or draft them heavily because after losing Hodgson, we really lack a premium centerman and it'll be hard to replace two of the best this franchise has ever seen. Also, if we lose Edler this team is finished. We have Tanev and Connautan coming up on defence and they are far from super stars (unlike Edler who is soon to break into the top-10 if not higher). Once Bieksa and Hamhuis retire in about 5 years we're in big trouble, and because we rarely draft defencemen now we'll have to look into free agency to fix that huge hole. In goal we seem to be set for a while. Schneider should have a decent 5 years and we have Lack and Climie playing reasonably well (although nowhere near as good as Lu-Schneids) so that won't be our biggest problem. So yes, the Canucks are screwed. All we have going for us in the future are Jensen, Hansen, Kassian, Schroeder, Tanev and Schneider, and these guys hardly compare with the likes of Eberle, Schultz, RNH, Hall, Granlund, Baertschi etc. Hopefully our goaltending will be good enough to carry us in about 5 years, because it's the one thing we'll have over our division rivals.
