  1. That sounds accurate to how I remember it too. Glad it never happened. At this point, they're both marginal at best. The guy with the shorter contract is the one I'd rather have.
  2. Who knows, maybe Motte's work ethic might rub off on Loui! Ah who am I kidding, of course the inverse will happen to us
  3. I totally agree. My comment was just a reference to the lack of depth our forward group has.
  4. Lucic has one extra year on his contract over Loui. Would you take Lucic for an extra year just so he's an upgrade over Loui today? Having Lucic's $6m caphit on the books in 2022-2023 is going to be a nasty contract when Petey and Hughes are hitting their prime.
  5. I'm not giving Green a pass either. He's definitely not extracting even close to maximum performance out of his team, but at the same time we're still a few roster pieces away from being a true competitor. Just a wash of a season.
  6. No hate, but anyone who sees a top line of Vesey-Miller-Gaudette and thinks we still have a shot at making the playoffs is out of their mind.
  7. On any other team I would probably take Lucic over Loui, but on the current Canucks I don't know if I could take that additional year on his contract. Shedding contracts asap needs to be prioritized over marginal improvements to our bottom six.
  8. Based on what? He's still one of our best defensive defensemen even at 34. He'll more likely remain here at a reduced rate but I heard nothing of him retiring, so I'm not sure how you're almost certain of it.
  9. At the end of the day, the worst drama on a hockey forum is still easier to handle than an average day on any other social media.
  10. Of course I want the management group to evolve with the times, but does it ever seem like this team had a solid vision? To me it feels like Benning is always chasing something that past him by that he doesn't have his eye on the next thing that's coming.
  11. It worries me how reactive this management group is. In Bennings presser earlier this year, he said the team is a couple years away from competing. Then we string together half a dozen decent games and he wants to play a wait-and-see approach at the deadline. It really wouldn't surprise me if he flip flops again. I've defended Benning in the past, but it's becoming very obvious he does not have a clear vision for this team.
  12. Just watch a video of Travis Green telling the media there's no injury update on a loop
  13. We'd basically need bubble Demko for the entire season. So basically we need the greatest season of goaltending in Canucks history.
  14. If Demko keeps this up, that's a bargain. But eesh, that's a rough total for the tandem. Something like $23m opens up this offseason, but Demko @ 6 and if Petey/Hughes get ~$7.5 each, that leaves $2-3m to improve the roster next year? Yikes.
  15. What's with the Canucks and their history of guys who like headbutting the puck
  16. Agree. Let Bieksa take over HNIC eventually and we'll steal Manny and Burrows back to coach the Canucks a few years from now.
  17. When Green said he wanted 10-15% more from his guys, he meant he wanted 10-15% more guys out there
  18. Is there cap on goalie coach salary? Because if not, we need to lock up Ian Clark for the duration of his life.
