Time for Tankers to face the TRUTH.

Keeping this short & sweet & TRUE. And yes I understand we are only half way thru the season. Could the 2nd half be worse than the 1st half?  I'm guessing Not

 

JB TL WD etc. &  a certain group on this site were the only ones to project what we are doing TODAY. Without mentioning any names most of us know who U (We) are. The real fans who just understand hockey & believe in their team thru thick & thin.  (That means this is not a bus or sky-train ride, alla bandwagoner style...)

 

Yes the 65 point REBUILD TEAM is right where Management (& the few group that knows who they are) said we would be. THEY were NOT lying or delusional after all...   :towel:

 

Miller, Granny, Baer, Tryamkin, Eriksson, Sutter, Skille, Stecher, etc.  Have to admit that JB has done a great job bringing these new (blood) guys inn... Yahhh JB...

 

Hats off to WD for sticking to his winning method, it's OBVIOUSLY rubbing of on Horvat, Edler, Baer, Granny, Sedins, Eriksson, Tryamkin, Stecher, etc...:towel:

 

Future is looking like a real hard working, winning environment which is crucial for success. Not quitting (tanking)...

Keep up the GREAT WORK WD JB TL etc...:canucks:::D:canucks:

I just hope we aren't buyers this TDL

 

This would basically sum up the Canucks as a whole. Go on a random unjustified winning streak, creep just outside of playoff realm and go from tankers to buyers at TDL....calling it now LOL.

This would be a tragedy IMO. I just hope they stay the course and either just keep the roster as is, or sell off assets - no matter how long this streak goes.

We have well over 20 million freed up in cap over the next two years!    20+!!!!!!!!!!!  With how well our defense core is coming along I think we are one significant (Hall for Larson) type trade and a significant free agent signing away from being competitive. If, through one trade and one free agent signing we can build a 1st line with the 20mil+ we will be set for the next 10 years.  Boeser +blank +blank. Bo, Baer and Virt, Rodin, or Ericsson  as your second is deadly.  Resign the Sedins at 2 mill each for your third with Sutter or Hansen.  Granlund is a stud 4th line center if he hasn't just played his way onto Las Vegas.  I may be crazy but Benning is a couple moves away from turning this ship right around!!!

C'mon this is Vancouver we are talking about. Would you honestly be surprised if that actually happened? I sure as hell wouldn't be.

Fair point, although Benning wasn't a buyer the last time the Canucks were in a playoff spot two years ago. Then again, he wasn't a seller when we were tanking last season either. So I guess it could go either way this season.

It is quite funny that now Toronto is within spitting distance of the playoffs... their management t and media (Dreger) is talking about how valuable playoff experience will be to their young kids.

 

So much for how awful the concept of rebuilding on the fly and being a fringe team.  We are stupid to try, but Toronto is suddenly geniuses when saying the same thing.

 

I guess one bad season is all it is supposed to take.  Heck we have more kids playing more meaningful minutes than they do.
