  1. Pettersson still has to prove that he’s a #1 C. In today's NHL, that’s being close to PPG over 82 games.
  2. Just when exactly is our window to compete for the cup? We have to reevaluate our intended window, especially if management is looking to trade 90% of the team.
  3. Let’s hypothetically say, for argument’s sake, that management is indeed proactively looking to hear offers for anyone not named Hughes, Pettersson and Demko. People won’t like this but that very much sounds like a rebuild.
  4. Given Boudreau’s recents comments on Miller, management may be trying to free the cap space we’d need to resign him. Tyler’s been good but his cap hit makes him one of the more obvious candidates.
  5. I don’t get it. I thought our biggest need, according to JR, was offense? Chychrun would take decent assets to obtain; assets we could otherwise use on acquiring a forward.
  6. I was cautiously optimistic about the Canucks sneaking into the playoffs after that early winning streak, but it just may be time for JR and co to start planning based on the scenario where we don’t make it in.
  7. That maroon suit seems to be one of Myers’ favourites and with good reason, looks super fresh.
  8. We're not catching Calgary or Vegas. Baby steps... let's first focus on Edmonton, Dallas, Anaheim, LA and San Jose.
  9. Not just that, we also will have to factor in Podkolzin and Hoglander coming off their ELCs. Whoever’s stating that no core player needs to be traded needs to turn their PlayStation off.
  10. Oh boy, after all this waiting the most logical thing happened: JR hired his guy. My only concern is that Allvin was Director of Amateur scouting at Pittsburgh before November 2020 with incredulously bad results. I fear for our scouting dept.
  11. Don't understand how you have two of the best players in the world and you suck this bad. Eventually McDavid is going to request a trade.
  12. Seems you care more about her gender than her background, which is justifiably the concern of a few posters here. I’m gonna give her the benefit of the doubt for now, but if our contract signings start stinking, she should be exposed to the same amount of scrutiny as other other AGM.
  13. Going off the OP, seems her main responsibility will have to do with contracts/CBA/cap management. This is what we’ll gauge her performance on.
  14. Trading Miller just as he’s about to command a blockbuster deal and using his production to leverage a great haul for this team’s medium and long term plans would be the epitome of selling high. It’s clear that we won’t be able to keep all of Garland, Horvat, Boeser, Miller, Pettersson and Höglander on their new contracts, so the best thing to do for Rutherford and co. would be to give Benning a lesson on asset management.
  15. Many fans here spent years defending Virtanen’s questionable acts for the simple reason that he was a Canuck and a hometown boy. So I certainly don’t think this team, nor its fans, are above Evander Kane.
