    Fans need to let go of the idea that we’ll be a contender in 2-3 years.

     

    Its gonna take so much longer…

     

    When you look at real contenders and how they got there we’re so far off track right now. We don’t have an abundance of picks or prospects to come in and fill roles on cheap contracts.

     

    So basically we’ll be forced to wait several drafts and years to get there (which ownership isn’t willing to do), or try and spend our way to being a contender (which doesn’t work).

    Depends what you mean by contender. At least a playoff team but not favorites, or among the favorites.  I'm referring to the former.  Like when nux were losing mostly in first rounds 2001-2004, second rounds or missing playoffs 2007-2010.  2011 and 2012 was when nux were favorites going in.

    Sometimes when a message is being sent to someone that you really don't want to attract attention to you point a finger at someone under that person's command knowing that person is locked into a confined set of rules or circumstances. Bruce is under Allvin's "command" and what is said about him is really directed at the commander, the buck stops with him. JR's criticism if anything empowers Bruce more because he can only deal with what he has been dealt. 

     

    Rutherford is walking a thin line, support the guy you hired, Allvin, and take some of the heat off him.

     

    The amount of Boudreau stuff is all the result of Allvin's job performance, it is easier to put heat on Allvin through Boudreau because Bruce is on an expiring contract. Rutherford was not born last night all those criticisms could be directly at Allvin but if he did that Allvin is gone.

     

    Rutherford is smart enough to know if the heat is on a guy leaving then the heat is reduced for awhile, I think this Bruce stuff is just a delaying tactic to gain time for Allvin and the 3 assistant GM's.

     

    Not losing to Arizona was just dumb luck

     

    Y, JR seems to be front guy. PA rarely talks much and is shielded, unlike JB.   Not a bad thing.

    What do you think NJ would give up to get the third Hughes brother?  I think they'd give up an awful lot

    Sure. But can nux draft or trade for another QH like player with whatever they get from NJ?  Probably not. He's already projected to be the best D men in Canucks history.  

     

    But everyone wants to rebuild again, like it's easy to get QH or EP just by tanking.

    Eh…Bruce has been in this situation before. Management told him to scratch Selanne or something like that. Selanne stopped talking to Bruce and even called him out lol.
     

    Coaches will always take the fall

    Yeah, heard about that story.  Bruce said he cleared it with him yrs later and they are OK now. 

     

    Here is the story after he released his book slamming Bruce.
