thema Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Even though he's been injured this whole year I still say we should have re-signed Mitchell. I still firmly believe that with him we would have won at least one of games 6 or 7 in the SCF. He would have been the difference at some point.

Heretic Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I wouldn't have drafted Cody Hodgson - that way we wouldn't see all the whining and stupid threads and posts about him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If I don't include hindsight I'd say not drafting Kopitar. Kopitar 1 Cup. Canucks 0. Thanks Dave Nonis Luongo was so unbelievable in the 2007 playoffs but the team (big surprise) couldn't score. Who knows what could have happened with a Kopitar. Not to mention how great it would be today to have a young, big, physical center that can produce in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollumpus Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well, since we're all wearing our 20/20 hindsight caps... The Canucks should have traded Rosaire Paiement. Fairly good size (for the time), played a physical game, fought very well, good on his skates, and scored 34 goals for the Canucks in their first season in the NHL. The team supposedly got huge trade offers for him, and they quite sensibly turned them down. The following seaon he got a mere 10 goals, and his total point production dropped by half. The season after that he left for the WHA. So, I'd trade him, and quite possibly get an additional 1st in the deal. I'd then pick Richard Martin (even without Perreault he would be good) or Steve Vickers, and Larry Robinson. In the second round I'd take Rick Kehoe. regards, G.

thad Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Nah, we'd still see Hodgson threads, only it would be, "Why didn't the Canucks draft Hodgson when they had the chance?", and there'd be lots of exclamation points and it would be all in caps. regards, G.

billabong Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 So you would have prefered nothing for Grabner by simply losing him to waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyfan87 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Firing Dave Nonis at this point. He made the Roberto Luongo trade. He signed Willie Mitchell. Signed Anson Carter, then smartly decided to not re-sign Carter. Hired AV. Signed Alex Burrows. Drafted Alex Edler. Drafted Jannick Hansen. Drafted Michael Grabner. Mike GIllis took the job saying drafting and player development had to greatly improve but how has he done in comparison to Nonis? What trade or signing has Mike GIllis made that rivals the moves Nonis made? Especially considering Gillis has security and the confidence of ownership, something Nonis was never privileged to. The Canucks underachieved during the Nonis years but he clearly proved that he is a better GM than Mike Gillis when it comes to trading, signing, and drafting.

Jai604 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 People are still butthurt over the Hodgson trade? Holy crap, get over it people. We still don't know how that trade will end up, ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Naming the team the Millionaires again (= one stanley cup) - drafting all the players who turned out awesome after the crap we drafted (see Jagr, Lidstrom etc...) - Not trading Neely (I don't care if he wanted to go to Boston), not trading Linden, not signing Messier - A lot of bad logo and uniform changes - Cory Schneider in games 3 and 4 in Beantown This could seriously go on forever...

surtur Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well obviously we cod have picked up some pretty good players in the draft if we could go back. I think I would go with not waking up Gretzky in the middle of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allkill326 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Game 4 in 2009 Western Semi-Finals against Chicago. Willie Mitchell's giveaway led to a tying goal by Martin Havlat, sending the game into overtime, only for us to lose 2-1. It was all downhill from there.
