Me_ Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I think Baers has about 10 more games to improve or he's gone way of the yellow brick road.Grabner #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Why? That's not a good enough reason. I think they'd both prefer to be in the NHL rather than in the WJHC. The Oilers wont send McDavid, why should we send McCann or Virtanen?Extra development and a great experience. Neither are vital parts of the team yet, Virtanen understandably can stay as he went last year but McCann deserves the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAY JAY Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 So happy to be a Canuck fan.Stanley Cup within 3 to 5 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Glad to see this.It is still going to be a learning process... these two guys have lots to absorb, but they have made a good start and deserved to stick with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Why? That's not a good enough reason. I think they'd both prefer to be in the NHL rather than in the WJHC. The Oilers wont send McDavid, why should we send McCann or Virtanen?Agreed. The Oilers did that with RNH his first year and the couple of weeks at the WJC was pretty much a waste of his time. He looked really out of sync. They're two totally different games.Especially glad McCann made the team. Adds a dimension to the Prust/Dorset line that I would've never imagined.

Positive Canuck Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 So glad this organization has Jim Benning running it and not the idiots that flame him on these boards 24-7. #InBenningWeTrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We're better able to control their environment and help them grow"exactly my point to the Benning Haters.

Alflives Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I think it's a twitter joke. As in "I want to talk about BOFA these guys".and that's SPTB funny? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honky Cat Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I kind of figured this would happen....Both of them need to learn to play 'defence first' at the NHL level....From what they've learned already it would be pointless to send them back to Junior...Both seem like team first 'character' kids...

NHTyrany Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Great news! Now watch McCaan play his way up the line-up. I sure hope he can escape year 1 injury free--especially with all the 4th line minutes he's been eating.Boy o boy did the yotes ever get away with several liberties, and that's without Grettal. What are they, the new Boston. Both kids could easily have been hurt with those nasty cross checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 So now the next hurdle will be the 39 game mark, I guess. JB will have a much bigger decision in giving up a year of RFA. Boys will have to play well enough to convince the GM that the team will falter without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Congrats to both! Well deserved and a great decision by the Canucks to keep them both.Can't wait to see the video of how everything unfolded. I love that the team is joking around and having fun again. There were a few years after the Cup run and before the Luongo/Kesler era ended where it seemed like the energy around the team was always super drearyPS - I'm assuming Hutton has made the team without there being an official announcement?! They just treat him like a pro lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
