  1. Also, just spitballing but I wonder if Juolevi coming out has anything to do with load management? I know it might sound crazy but its in the NBA all the time now. He hasn't played much hockey the last two years and I wonder if the Canucks fear he's at risk of an injury if he plays to many minutes/games in a row. Just a thought, might be out to lunch tho or maybe I'm just finding ways to tell myself Green isn't this stupid.?
  2. It was actually widely reported that the Canucks were close at 3 years 2.25 or 2.35 with Beagle. But two other teams upped there offers and Beagle said he would only come (to a team that was this bad at the time) for my guess is 4 years 3 million, the contract he signed.
  3. I just want to officially state I am now on team tank for the season. I hate watching them lose, but clearly we need to take another step and the only way we are going to do that is if we get another top defensive prospect.
  4. Overall I've been extremely happy with Juolevi's game so far. I just hope he can learn how to not get beat when they take him to the outside. At least that aspect of his game can be fixed
  5. Virtanen and Gaudette for Fabbro NSH gets two young players still finding their way. Canucks get a RHD BC boy who still has lots of promise
  6. Benning has stated they are signing him the day the possibly can. The thing I'm worried about is his KHL team not releasing him
  7. Jake that's twice now in two nights you had a guy one on one and didn't fight. C'mon
  8. Damn unlucky play. Not dirty but sucks considering he got concussed and was playing so well. At least he wasn't hit with major force the player was gliding.
  9. Jake you had Tkachuk at his mercy and you choose to hug him. You could have just saved your career in VAN
  10. Man the Tkachuks both have emotional issues. I think they need a family therapist. They just can't let stuff go. Must live life angry.
  11. Man watching Tkachuk punch Edler in the face 10 times there gave me Marchand on Sedin flashbacks. Demko buddy gotta go over there and help your bro
  12. Where did I mention Baumer? I clearly typed Jim? I've been clear I'm not a fan of our coaching staff. I am however, I believer in Benning
  13. Good to see Francesco put an end to the rumours. Benning has built this young core and has more pieces coming. He deserves to see it through. I believe he has learned from previous mistakes and its only up from here. This season is a write off anyhow.
  14. Good to see Francesco put an end to all the rumours. Listen losing sucks, Benning hasn't been perfect, but I think he has learned from previous mistakes. Stay the course!
  15. Really hope Lind pans out. With his playmaking and pest playing style I think he'd be great in our bottom six. Heard he's playing centre right now and if he works out in the middle it would be huge. May just be that 3rd line centre we have been chasing
  16. It was posted like 4 hours ago and had the publish date as February 14th (which is Monday). Likely was getting typed into the site and instead of save draft they hit publish.
  17. Benning had growing pains for sure. But if you looked at the last 2 years of deals he's made, Pearson for Gudbranson, Miller for 1st and 3rd, Toffoli 2nd Madden (they were gonna work out an extension but COVID and flat cap) Its not all on him. Its a shame to see most turn on him the guy who got us Petey, Hughes, Demko, Hoglander, Juolevi, MacEwen, Gaudette (tough season like most of team) on roster while still having Podkolzin, Tryamkin, McDonough, Rathbane, Woo, Focht, Cosmar ,Jasek and Lind coming. Not all will make it but he was done an exceptional job at re-buliding this team. If someone just took Benning's pocketbook on July 1 or got him a financial advisor we'd be golden. At the end of the day I always respected Jim for being honest and almost too forward with us about what was going on. He has made mistakes, but ultimately years down the line whether he's here or not, he will have built the core that will win us our first stanley cup in franchise history and I hope people will look bad and appreciate all the good and not just look at some bad signings.
  18. Apparently there was a post made on the CDC homepage from the Canucks thanking Benning for his time here. Dated for Monday Feb 14th. It was quickly taken down. I'm afraid Jimbo is already gone:(
