This team freaking needs to start selling players like HANSEN and Edler yet they are sitting there doing god knows what. This is the same management who failed this fanbase on TDL, and now they seem to be heading that way at draft day. Oilers better yes, Winnipeg better yes, Calgary better possibly. Elliot has still a lot to prove in the post season. I think they should of ponyd up and got either bishop or fluery imo. But look at us last season a year removed from the post season with a year fully of injuries. It's hard to gauge where we will be given those circumstances. I think we're a top 3 pacific team next year. Edmonton is the big question. Pulvi will make them a lot better but they need a d so let's wait and see. Calgary will get better as their youngsters age. But we're still a really good team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen him play in the WHL? The kid's already an amazing force at both ends of the ice. Watch him this year, and barring injury, he'll get even better.

Look if they were going to after Olli then they should have atleast traded with flames and got something in return. Remember how Burke got us the Sedins', its called wheeling and dealing I seriously don't know if Benning is a good negotiator, so far I think he's not he seems to over-pay many trades.

You must be so excited to see the Canucks lose all season on purpose starting in a few months for a 20% chance to pick your new saviour. I get why you're upset, but I think I'm being realistic. Allow me to explain. I would love to see this group of Canucks win, but imho, just looking at the other teams in our division, we're not matching up very well. There are only so many ways you can improve your team: draft, trade, free agents, improvement of existing players, better coaching. In the draft, I don't think we got a player who will help us this year. In the free agent list, I know it's debatable, but I personally think only a Stamkos is good enough for us to move up to the next level. On the trade front, Gudbranson will help, but he's not going to score. To get talent in a trade, you need to give up talent and our AHL stable is bare and a lot of our guys are old (and no, Sbisa, doesn't count as talent). Our young guys are talented but very inexperienced. Our old guys are...getting older. We still have Willie. We're going to need a number 1 centre soon to replace Henrik. I believe that future number 1 centre is currently not on our team. That's why I'm looking to see where we can get one. Enter Nolan Patrick.

Bruce Boudreau Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 You need luck to tank. The Canucks don't have any luck. Tremendous pressure on Juolevi after Canucks passed on Tkachuk and missed out on Dubois and Puljujarvi because of bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Are All Cynics Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 You think tank nation would've gotten the memo the Canucks are a cursed team when we dropped to #5. We could finish dead last next season and the Canucks will more assuredly be picking outside of the top 3 again. Tanking simply won't work for this club. If we want the #1 pick then it's up to Benning to wheel and deal for it. Makes far more sense than wasting a season for a lotto chance that'll never go in our favour.

baumerman77 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 If the Canucks don't pick up a significant player(s) in free agency (or at least re-sign Hamhuis) then we are definitely in-play for Patrick as long as the lottery gods look favorably upon us.
