  1. How exactly does this team "tank" without moving the Twins and either moving our blossoming young players or purposely hindering their development? Simply put, this team is not capable of being as bad as it needs to be to get a top 3 pick.

      Very capable of getting into the top 5 though. Then I'll take my chances with the lottery.

      WD's trying his best to lose every game.  No other explanation for Weber continuing to be permitted to disgrace our jersey.

  2. Either you're being sarcastic, or you completely missed the point of the sig. Glad to see I'm not the only one here that thinks (knows) that it's stupid to trade Hansen, tho. You bring up the fact that you want to move Hansen in every thread, even threads that have nothing to do with Hansen (like this one). As a fan of the player, it's incredibly frustrating. Dat Boeser, tho...
  3. Won't he bolt back to the KHL if we try and put him in Utica?
  4. You can't really think that's actually gonna happen?
  5. Hoping that the smaller ice surface allows Tree to be a little more proactive in his play. I want to see him unleashing bombs from the point!
  6. Looks like the Tree will be in a Canucks uniform pretty quick.

  7. Brock Boeser lighting it up. 43 points in 34 games, including 25 goals. Pretty safe to say he's a helluva player.

  8. Oh, who cares about the actual game As long as Boeser scores and doesn't get injured....
  9. Jesus Christ, this kid is good, and he's just getting better and better. Where are all the Boeser detractors now?
  10. I would ague that, in hindsight, the Oilers have drafted relatively poorly. The end result of their years of stockpiling no 1 picks is a soft, one dimensional team. Any decent GM (that isn't handcuffed) could have moved some of those assets around to properly fill out their lineup, making for a much better and more well rounded team.
  11. I don't know why I even bother any more....

  12. Was there ever a time where the Canucks didn't have inept management?

  13. Still sad about Shinkaruk :(

      ^well, if he's a flop you can always blame it on Calgary

      Best of both worlds!

      Word. Calgary passed up on him at the draft. I was beyond happy when we drafted him. But he still ends up in Calgary...

  14. It's really just one person trying (and failing) to dispute that.
  15. I shall repeat.... HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Is somebody really trying to compare the OHL/CHL to NCAA hockey? HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like Honey-Badger-Hansen said, it's apples and oranges. It is extremely difficult to put up points in college hockey, especially as a freshman. For the sake of comparison, Toews was just slightly under a PPG his first year playing for the University of North Dakota. Not trying to say that Boeser is the better player, or even as good a player. Just that NCAA hockey and CHL hockey are totally different animals.
  17. Still, I see no harm in being excited about someone that, so far, is looking like an absolute steal.
  18. Most of these expectations are coming from what he's doing this year. The fact that he's a 23rd overall pick becomes irrelevant if he blows expectations out of the water (which he has done so far this year).
  19. Damnit, Benning. Do something! I'm getting bored!

      i doubt he has got much sleep...linden says he is on the phone much of the day...fans don't care about that...

      Well then Linden needs to tell him to get off the phone with his mom and start making some deals!

  20. Wishing Shinkaruk all the best in Calgary. Also wishing Shinkaruk was still a Canuck :(

      I'm hoping Shink struggles in Calgary, and we pick him up on waivers and becomes a sniper for us.
