Abbotsford Star (4/14)

  1. Miller's getting up there, he'll start to decline soon. Then who is the no. 2 centre? Our defence is grim, OEL is done and the Chaos Giraffe is bad. Ownership needs to understand fans would actually like to watch a young team grow into a winner over a few years. At least the goal is the Stanley Cup. This approach of being barely mediocre, with a couple of stars to squeak into the playoffs and lose, isn't working. I'm not looking forward to watching Chicago grow into a Stanley Cup fave.
  2. A first AND a second for a guy too injured to play. If he doesn't come back playing a leading top four role next season, we've got to be stoned to watch another losing season.
  3. We've wasted time overplaying our best players in order to win meaningless games and reduce our odds of drafting a good prospect. No one is saying the #11 to #20 players may be good. The point is surely we can improve our odds of getting a high end pick if we don't try our damn best to win games when we're out of the playoffs. This is the opposite of a long term winning strategy. Our depth in young talent is awful, we should be addressing it when it seems like we're ignoring it.
  4. This late season win streak has got to be one of the most self-destructive moves in the Canucks' long history of bad moves. So what did we gain from beating teams clearly tanking and teams preparing for the playoffs? We've pretty much guaranteed we won't daft top ten in a deep draft when we badly need young talent. There's a generational talent at no. 1 but why would we try to increase our odds to get him?
  5. Bring him up, give him a taste, he's earned it.
  6. A first AND a second? We're near the bottom of the league. This move might get us in the playoffs but there is no way this team competes for the cup. And that's what some of us have waited decades for. Long term we'll take a bigger cap hit and reduce our odds of being competitive. You never know, but the better odds are to play the long game and develop through the draft.
  7. We also have to sign Hronek very shortly and he'll be asking for a bigger contract. There goes any cap space. The more I think of this trade the less I like it.
  8. Couldn't agree more, we're nearly last, our prospects list is amongst the worst, and now we trade away the future by giving out first and second round picks in a deep draft. All i can say is there better soon be a trade bringing in picks and prospects or else we're selling the farm on this trade. This trade isn't win now, it's squeak into the playoffs now.
  9. After Petey and Bo there is maybe Hughes, but really that's it. Miller is a disaster signing. We have to stop talking about what it takes to get in the playoffs and focus on what we need to win the cup. Stop trying to retread tired vets and build from the draft for a change.
  10. This year's a bust. We need to trade for drafts and loose the expensive 3rd and 4th liners.
  11. We've been outplayed in our last four games, but Demko has come through. We clearly need depth at every position. Trade for drafts and forget this season. Give Rathbone a shot.
  12. We won't lose an upcoming draft pick. Our D is mess. He's built like a tree and he can skate. We've got absolutely nothing to lose if we give him a chance. Which means we probably won't give him a chance..... :(
  13. Not yet sold on Schmidt but hoping. Juolevi on the other hand, is really starting to show something. I'd say he's not going anywhere and will start getting tougher assignments.
  14. There's not a team in this league that wouldn't want Hughes. We're lucky we have him. He's still finding his way in this league and he's going to be an all-star for years. Play him with a stay at home defenseman. On offence he's doing things most defenseman in this league will never do. Support him and enjoy his high-end talent. Benning made a great draft, now he needs to back up his draft's development.
