Flipside, we've given up more shorthanded goals in the league except the kings (tied with 3), we've lost more games than we've won when we had the lead, and our pk is 32nd. They've won two in a row, only Bo showed up last game for us. I honestly don't know who is worse right now.
Ducks are worse. Roster-wise, we are way underperforming. The Ducks sucking is because their roster kinda sucks.

Sundin refused to waive his NTC on an expiring contract and walked. Hard to fault the Sedins for putting family first and loving living in Vancouver so much.
Yeah, I’d generally like to get some assets back from a player in that situation, but the Sedins were such a rare case. Very few players, if any, are more ensconced in the city they play for in every aspect of their lives like the Sedins were.

What a speech by Juice. THAT was exactly what a locker room leader looks like.
If this team cannot get motivated after that speech then it’s all over for them.
100%. Bieksa night, speech of the year, and a home game against the worst team in the league. If the Canucks blow it tonight, there is something unfixable in that room.

Not sure about that. If it's to a small capacity then perhaps, but his personality fits TV rather well I'd say.
The entire roster on HNIC/Sportsnet is a borefest and KB is the only one that adds some entertainment along with maybe Elliot Friedmann (who's a decent source for rumours).
He also seems to really like being on the panel.
Francesco tried something like that with Trevor Linden in the President position, and all that resulted in was broken ties between him and the team.
He hasn't said or expressed anything in relation to this team since.
If Bieksa were interested and if it were to some smaller capacity with no big burden on his shoulders, then sure.
However, I don't see him leaving his current job anytime soon.
Ron MacLean will eventually(hopefully) retire at some point and Kevin is the obvious choice to take over HNIC. Would be hard to pass up that gig.

Player/Assistant Coach?
It'll be all up to Bieksa. If he wants to stay in broadcasting, he will continue to excel there. If he wants to coach, he'll get snapped up. When Bieksa speaks, people listen.

I'd much rather trade him anyway as I'm not convinced he'll ever be good enough defensively.
Why the heck did management deem him to be too valuable to trade for RHD Marino when he has no spot or plan in our organization.-

Rathbone has done nothing to earn a spot so far. Breezer outplayed him and was sent down.
Makes me wonder why he was reputed to be too valuable to trade for Marino. And if he can’t crack the lineup with Hughes and OEL already here til eternity, what is the point of him in this organization? Why the one-way deal? Why the reluctance to send him to Abby? I don’t understand the plan for him in the organization.

Marino trade suggests otherwise. Need cap space to do it though.
Sadly we had the space for Marino before signing Mikheyev but rumours are we didn’t want to trade Rathbone.

He did, but what we've gone through in the last 10 years and are currently going through is a direct result of that "going for it". Not saying I'm not happy he did, but he made a huge mess in the process
The market has drastically changed too. It's possibly harder to get good defensemen today than it's ever been.
You're not getting an Ehrhoff for a bag of pucks today. -

The way our UFA assets were managed was the killer. Letting a vezina-calibre goalie be acquired by another team for free is absolutely insane.
We spent our futures/assets, and fumbled the pieces that could have replenished them.
Its hard to overstate the impact of those bonehead decisions.
That’s why it was so funny seeing Calgary fans freaking out over losing Gaudreau for free. You got half your team from us for free, so call it even.

Yeah the Miller prioritization is looking like an error.
Should've signed Horvat & went into the season with Miller unsigned, but then again no one expected this level of underperformance or Miller to be so bad as a C, he wasn't last year.
If they can move Miller they should try, but if they can't they can still get use out of him as a point producer moving fwd imo. It's not an Eriksson/Vlasic thing that'll sink us in the foreseeable future.
True, but then again the Miller extension doesn't align with the management's vision to "build around the young core". Unless that "young core" vision is new, in which case, they went into the last offseason with no plan or a failed plan and are already pivoting.

I like Podkolzins game but it’s time to start talking about him as yet another Benning miss.
When you consider Boldy, Caufield and even Krebs are looking like much better picks.
Brackett was even pushing for Zegras but Benning was unable to move up a spot.
Im done with defending Bennings drafting. It was supposed to be his saving grace and it was just as abysmal as the rest of his body of work.
He really set this franchise back 10 years. There hasn’t been a GM that has done this much damage to a franchise.
Yeah, highlighting a GMs draft picks that made the NHL as a win is always a weird argument. It assumes another GM would've tripped over the draft stage and forgets to pick any players at all. Sure, someone else may have done worse, but they may have done better too, and that's never mentioned in the argument.

True, never whated Miller resigned. The money saved could have be used down the road, but you lose a huge asset. Even now his contract is tradable to a team looking to add for the playoffs.
Yeah, I don't think he's untradeable with the extension, but we're going to have to find a contender that needs him this year and also has the desire to build around him for the next 7 years. The pool of teams that could take that on would be a pretty exclusive club.

In a salary cap world it happens all the time. If a team has players that they tried to trade during the seanon and did not like what was offer, and those players need new contracts they sign them to retain assets. They can then try again to get the trade they want or if needed move on from those players for the better of the team future.
I can see that argument for Boeser, I'll give you that, but they flinched too early on the Miller re-signing. He would've been monumentally easier to move in-season without the extension.

You dump miller and boesee for whatever you can get for them and see what NJ would be willing to give up for Hughes
Re-sign Boeser and Miller in the summer and less than a year later dump them for whatever they can get for them. What a fantastic start to this management group.

Contract year, guys always step up and play better in a contract year. Agree on Miller, they wiffed last TDL and they can't make the same mistake again. I would trade Miller and Bo at the TDL if possible if it means bringing in some high end center and defense prospects and some 2023 first round picks. Especially prospects that will fill the ELC role over the next 1 to 3 years.
Horvat is average 5v5, strong on the PP, and strong on faceoffs. He is a solid player but he should not be the Captain and he isn't driving the bus for this team (the mix isn't working and hasn't been working for nine seasons).
Is he a good player? Yes. Is he worth committing to for $7M+x8? Not IMHO. Time to restock and provide talent underneath the sub 25 year old players.
A big part of that could be because Bo has never had any decent linemates. Who have his consistent winger been throughout his career? Pearson? He's rarely had regular top-6 calibre wingers. He looks good when he's playing with good players on the PP, imagine if he had some decent wingers 5-on-5 throughout his career here.

Did he look ready? Doesn't matter, but they also made other choices on defense that didn't look very good. Could have used Burroughs.
You said you'd go with the exact same lineup from the Pittsburgh game. If the doctor and player is telling you he's ready to go, I find it hard to believe anybody would decide to sit Quinn. And if you play him, other lineup changes had to be made to account for him.
I don't know what makeup of our roster would've performed miles better than we did last night. We don't have a great team. -

The team has to take responsibility for the way it comes out to play but IMO, the roster chosen last night was wrong. When you have a really good game,
throw the same group out for the next. Rathbone should have played. The new players need time to get use to the habits of their new team mates and vice versa.
Our defense was a cluster fudge to put it mildly.
Last game was decent. Should've gone with the same bunch, including Spencer Martin.
You would bench Quinn Hughes if he's ready to go?

The thing is, Benning went through 8 years of that and we had to put up with the product, JR hasn’t been here a year yet. Somethings gonna happen!
True, but so far all his moves seem to be an extension of everything JB was doing. I don’t have a lot of confidence in the new group at the moment.

I agree. I think he is going to do something shocking because he has no emotional ties to the team and is sick of the crap attitude and play.
But the thing is they tried to do a number of things in the off-season and failed. And it’s even tougher to make moves in-season. Maybe his rolodex no longer has the contacts it used to.
