I thought this place was shutting down. Why the f**k is it still up?

[[discussion] forum closure]

Welp, this is going to kill the entire site and fragment the fandom. Good job, execs 

[[DEBATE] Which player are you taking, Elias Pettersson or Jack Hughes?]

Because Quinn is here, Jack likely wouldn't be wanting out. Petey seems to want out, so I'd probably go with Jack at this point. He's also a bit younger.

 

Petey is the better player at this point, but that wasn't the question. 

[(Speculation) Senators, Canucks Could Be Teams To Watch On Trade Market]

Seems like we're always a "team to watch" on the trade front and, aside from the Horvat trade, it almost never happens. How many times have Miller, Boeser, Garland and even Demko been "on the trade block"?

[Captaincy]

Hughes has my vote. I feel that both Miller and Petey are a bit too moody. Don't get me wrong, some emotion can be good, but I really do feel there are pretty recent instances of both Petey and JT letting their emotions get the best of them in one way or another. I distinctly remember how dejected Petey looked and how bad his body language was back when he was really struggling a couple years ago. By contrast, even when he's struggled, Hughes has never hit me as someone that let his emotions get the best of him in a negative way. He's steady. 

[(Article) Canucks' Brock Boeser hopes workout change leads to renewed success]

He seemed to somewhat find his game towards the second half of the season. Hopefully he can build on that stronger second half and sustain it for a full season. 

[Will any Canuck win a major award this season?]

Lol no

[What's your hottest take for this season?]

The team has yet another bad start and never quite gets it together. Pettersson expresses to management that he wants out and is traded for a massive package of futures during next year's offseason.

What was his illness? Loved this guy as the cult leader of The Wyatt Family. His former stablemate Luke Harper passed away like a year and a half ago too. 

Apparently he died from a heart attack after Covid aggravated an existing heart problem earlier in the year.

It's been a difficult couple of days for the wrestling community. RIP Windham/Bray. 

[[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks]

At this point I can't imagine why Pettersson would even want to remain here. This franchise has been horribly mismanaged ever since he was drafted, and has only managed to put together one playoff team during his tenure so far

I sure hope not. What I do believe is that garbage smells. Regardless of there being any truth to the accusations the scent of garbage seems to follow Cole.

Exactly.

Hes had issues with being a creep in several places.  Most see it, but sadly a few here are too excited fantasizing about new players to care. 

 

Seems like you both believe the allegations. Considering how serious the allegations are, one has to question why you're still here supporting this franchise. I certainly wouldn't be if I were convinced the franchise I were a fan of had just given a contract to a child rapist and groomer.

Found to be baseless because the woman didn't come forward to press charges and want to get dragged by Coles legal team. It's odd that this stuff doesn't come up in regards to the Sedins or other class acts of the league but it's like flies on excrememnt of the scum of the league. Suspicious. 

So you believe Cole is a child rapist/groomer?

[{Topic} Odds say Canucks miss playoffs]

Honestly, that seems about right.

Studnicka. Dude's a stud. It's right there in his name.

size, defensive acumen, pk ability, heavier players were added.

 

Ideally, 2 more expensive wingers, maybe Myers and Rathbone are moved out too address a higher end RHD and righty 3/4 C

 

Kuzmenko Petey Beauvillier 

Mikheyev Miller Boeser 

Pearson* Blueger Garland

Podkolzin Aman Hoglander

Joshua Dries PDG

Studnicka etc

 

Hughes Cole

Soucy Hronek

Irwin Myers

Brisebois Juulsen

poolman*

Honestly not a terrible looking lineup on paper. 

 

We said that last year too though.

[[GDT] ‘Tis the Dog Days of Summer, Are we Thinging Before Training Camp?]

Hell of a time for Twitter to be down. Good job, Elon

[[GDT] ‘Tis the Dog Days of Summer, Are we Thinging Before Training Camp?]

As much as I like having multiple huge defensemen, I'd love to find a way to ship Myers out and get someone cheaper for that 3rd paring right side. Gotta move some salary from the wing as well.

Edit: this aged poorly

[[Signing] Sharks sign Kyle Burroughs]

And now we just know why they're talking to Stetch's agent. 3 years at over a mill per is too much. 

[(Rumour) Nux talking to Stetcher’s agent]

For something close to league minimum I'd bring him him in for a year. Injuries are a bitch and he's played some hard minutes for us in the past  

[[Signing] - Schenn to Preds]

Good for Schenner.

[[Trade] Canucks trade Jay Beagle, Loui Eriksson, Antoine Roussel, 2021 1st-round pick, 2022 2nd-round pick, 2023 7th-round pick to Coyotes for Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Conor Garland]

Alright, I'm willing to say that we may have lost this trade ever so slightly.

[[Buyout] Oliver Ekman-Larsson]

All that dead cap. Geez.
