  1. Weisbrod apparently has his fingerprints on the Shinkaruk deal. God help us all.

      This does not bode well for the franchise.  At least most of the other trades could be justified but this one is so lopsided NHL16 told me to put the bottle down.

  2. That's fair enough, but the Canucks really need to scoop a potential "franchise player" out of this draft. Now, I understand that any number of players in this draft could end up as franchise players, but we need as close to a sure thing as possible.
  3. I hope you're right, but keep in mind we also have the Toronto Marlie Leafs (who just unloaded Shawn Matthias) to deal with as well.
  4. I would love that to be the case, but just like chasing a playoff spot, it's not necessarily how close you are to making it, it's how many teams you have to pass, and we have a couple of class A tankers below us in the standings.
  5. Yup, getting those 4 playoff games before we're inevitably destroyed is far more important than moving assets for big potential returns that could be huge for our future. ffs

      Also, JB himself never said that. It's speculation.

      Still, Benning's comments have me a little worried. I hope to God it's just posturing.

      People put too much stock into what other people say. It's as if they're incapable of lying because they said it.

      Their goal IS to make the playoffs. Season ticket holders (and potential season ticket holders) won't want to spend money on something that ownership/management has publicly written off. Think of it this way: if they don't care, why should you?

       

       

  6. At this point it's pretty damn unlikely that it's a work. I'm gonna miss watching Daniel Bryan in a WWE ring. He was one of a kind.
  7. Really hope Benning is smart enough to hold onto Hansen.

  8. I heard a rumor that the Canucks are interested in acquiring Mason Raymon and Keith Ballard. Most likely so they can package a 1st rd pick with them and trade them for one of either Jamie Benn/Taylor Hall/Erik Karlsson .

      honestly, we should put together the 2011 squad and make another run with a few tweaks. First, trade Horvat, Shink, Hutton for Kesler. Re-sign Salo. A couple firsts for Ehrhoff. Bulis didn't play on that team but lets see what he's up to. Maybe he can picky back us to success. Bring Oreskovich out of retirement so he can float and not do his job. Offer the Rangers 100 million for AV and Tanner Glass since they're inseparable.

      etc. Blow it all to hell for one last ride.

    3. Odd.

      WD and "real good" for AV.

      Bring Gillis out of UVIC.

      Trade Linden for Luongo.

      And secretly tell Schneider that he'll be the number 1 for sure.

  9. If you reverse his last two contracts, then yes.

  11. Has this really become a "We should have drafted _______ instead of _______" thread? FFS, I swear this team needs a better fanbase. Incidentally, we already have "heart and soul" guys. We needed a sniper an we got one. Jesus.
  12. People throw words like "disgusting" and "pathetic" around here like "and" and "but". It's kind of...well....pathetic.

      disgustingly pathetic if you ask me

      I'd say more like pathetically disgusting.

  13. If he were to become a more consistent Chris Higgins-type, I wouldn't complain one bit.
  14. Scored a nice goal tonight. Looking good.
  15. The exact same things could be said about Kassian, and he hasn't been able to put it together yet. I'm not suggesting that he's a bust or anything, but the kid hasn't even played one NHL game yet, and he didn't exactly set the world on fire in his last season with the Hitmen/Comets playoff run/first Canucks preseason game. Let's just wait and see before we start declaring him a "good player (NHL-wise, anyways)". As of this moment, he's a "good prospect."
  16. That very much so remains to be seen.
  17. Until we see Horvat in a top 6 role, it's kind of unfair to compare him to these other players.
  18. So CDC, am I allowed to be pissed off yet?

  19. Denial, denial, denial....

      That we don't need to rebuild? I think everybody knows that. The denial around here is people expecting Benning to turn 34+ players and a backup goalie into multiple top 40 picks. He ain't a Jedi. (Although Tim Murray could be a storm trooper)
