  1. Feaster as GM? feaster and Torts...had 1 cup and 5 incredibly awful seasons of mediocrity....well on another note we can be assured of one thing. Olli Jokinnen will be a Canuck before the year is out.

      Well have ya seen Festers track record? Not only will we lose our first, if we keep it we will use it to draft a late 2nd rounder with it. Top 10 picks are just numbers...we need a Jankowski

      haha Feaster WOAT

  2. do you recall the moves gillis made when he first showed up? Maybe check to see some of his signings trades and draft picks. He's finally got the team going down a good road in terms of signings and drafting/development.... Until a new GM wants a different approach and we are starting all over
  3. Nice edit, you forgot to mention that it took 8+ years before they made the playoffs, they gave up what appears to be a franchise defining C in Seguin a top 2 D in Hamilton plus more for a fat lazy Kessel and ONLY made the payoffs in a lockout shortened year where quite literally everyone was scrambling to adjust their rosters to make the cap work. Besides a hand picked and literally god gifted team in Anaheim, what has Burke done? Honestly again. New GM's make major moves to give the team the identity they want....and that is scary as hell. Imagine a new GM walking in here and all of a sudden our core is good enough but say good bye to Horvat? Subban? Shinkaruk? Matthias or Markstrom? This is the reality of a new GM. They make moves. Moves that give the team they take over their identity.
  4. I lend NO credibility to anything Dreger says or seconds. But I will say that getting a new GM scares me a lot. new GMs PURGE the old GMs work. What happens if a new GM comes in starts trading prospects picks and players with their "vision" in mind, or they come in and have the "owners vision" in mind. Truth be told if the rumours are right, Gillis has been handcuffed the last 2.5 years by ownership interference in everything from the Roy and Pahlsson trade to the Torts hiring. And if that is the truth than honestly looking at Gillis' body of work....the guys done fairly well. Fear a new GM with a new "vision" Because as bad as GIllis might seem to some people...remember what Burke did in Toronto with his "new vision" and literally dozens of other examples.
  5. I want Ehlers or Nylander don't get me wrong I want game breaking skill. But what happens if Kassian or Sestito are in the box or ejected? Rabbit punching our stars got old a long time ago.
  6. Our division is NOT changing. Everyone is basically getting bigger. Our needs are on the wing and on D. C is a lesser issue as unless we are drafting Reinhart or Draistl we don't have that need. We need size with snarl and skill. Source it out.
  7. With Carolina choking tonight...a Nashville win or OT point coupled with a van loss puts us in 6th spot for the draft.

      with 4 remaining games after.... if the team loses all of them and the flames/isles catch up and the canes win... we could be in 4th or 5th? overall when the season is dun. assuming mentioned teams we're chasing for the lottery lose a couple of those games, we could still go down, right?

      We play Calgary and Edmonton to finish the season. I can't see the Canucks going 0-5

      Flames have been one of the highest goal scoring teams in the League since the deadline, far from an easy game.

  8. Nope. keep in mind those are only our forward prospects in that situation :D
  9. Or Fox-Gaunce-Macdavid Shinkaruk-Horvat-Jensen/Kassian Think about that
  10. IN true Canuck fan fashion....there's always next year
  11. i'd kill to draft Dal Colle just for the Cassels connection.
  12. Bennett or Dal Colle. Bennett has easily the best option to transition to wing with his jumping around and is crafty beyond belief plus that 2 way lunch pail attitude is something Florida doesn't have. Where as Dal Colle is that pure winger they need for their top 6. Either way it looks more and more as though Draistl, Bennett, Nylander or one of the big 3 PWF's will fall to the canucks
  13. With the right combination of wins, losses and 3 point games tonight. The Canucks could be a mere 6 points out of 4th place in the draft

  14. Jesus.... Who cares about defense at that point in time, that top 6 could kill you at will. Doesn't matter if you're letting in 4 goals a game if you're scoring 8. Besides Pitts would probably still have the same rough D as they do now
  15. Anyone want some spoilers? People will die There will be naked stuff Possible incest Cursing And someone WILL be wearing a hat Sorry Season is ruined, back to your business now
  16. Not worth it at that point in time really. Two picks in that top 10 solves a TON of our needs as opposed to trading up a few spots to get a guy who might be a solid 1st line center.... I'll take good quality in quantity over possible quality any day of the week
  17. If Trotz IS fired....I would burn down the city to get him on our bench, that guy would have multiple rings if ONLY Preds ownership would spend and get him some bloody offense or if Poile was a better judge of UFA's
  18. So....LeBrun thinks Coach Torts is basically all but fired at seasons end as per TSN....go figure.

      Pierror LeBAN that fool!

  19. Check the standings, all we need is a 5 game slide and a bunch of reg wins and 3 point games from 3 or 4 teams and it's a lock
  20. Don't look hard because Ottawa and Carolina could as well. Barring a miracle of we lose the rest and the Flames win the rest 5th is actually in shot
