[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Columbus Blue Jackets | Nov. 26, 2021
guntrix replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Of course we do. The NHL literally modified a rule because the Oilers drafted 1st OA four times and still weren’t showing much signs of improvement. As bad as this is, it’s still not even close to the depths the Oilers got to. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Pittsburgh Penguins | Nov. 24, 2021

I’ve never been against having guys with attitude problems on the team as long as they talk the talk on the ice. But it’s amazing how quickly people are throwing Horvat under the bus for JT Miller. -
Canucks record on drafting and developing talent
guntrix replied to fanfor42's topic in Canucks Talk
Has any other regime had as many high draft picks as Benning has? We need to contextualize. For example, it’s ludicrous to compare Benning’s and Gillis’ draft records for the simple reason that Gillis’ top draft picks were mostly late firsts. -
[PGT] Chicago Blackhawks at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 21, 2021

Not a fan of this POV. Both Quinn and Petey played the waiting game all summer and essentially strong armed the team into signing them to fat contracts. Neither of these guys is going to get any pity from me. If a guy like Petey keeps playing the way he has for the $$$ he’s received, he’s just as much a handicap to the team as Green is. -
Benning will use Green as a sacrificial lamb at some point in the season to keep his job. Unfortunately, we won’t see both get fired at the same time.

There’s a lot of people pointing towards the missed drafts between 2007-2012 but IMO missing on late 1st round picks like Jensen, Schroeder and Gaunce isn’t nearly as bad as missing on high draft picks. This thread really only has two answers: Juolevi and Virtanen. Seeing how posters have made solid arguments for both players, I don’t think I could disagree with putting either of these guys as worst draft bust.

[PGT] Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 05, 2021
guntrix replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I’ve been lenient with Green because he hasn’t always had the best of groups to work with, but thus far this season the team’s been playing worse than the sum of its parts. If the team doesn’t turn it around quick, he needs to go. Still doesn’t excuse Pettersson’s play though. Signing such a lucrative bridge deal and then playing like this handicaps the team. I hope he’s feeling the heat. -
Hard to blame the development team and the coach when Jake was partying every other day. Some players are doomed to fail for a variety of reasons. In Jake’s case it was all in his head.

[PGT] Philadelphia Flyers at Vancouver Canucks | Oct. 28, 2021

Whether or not you’re a fan of Green, Petey has to make it work. That’s what top players do. He’s getting paid to be the go-to guy now. We can’t be making excuses for him. -

Rathbone’s the least of our worries. This team’s been underperforming all over the place. -

Petey bent the club over with a monster bridge. This isn’t some rookie on an ELC anymore. With paydays come expectations. -

I guess that explains it. -

Is that arena new? It looks remarkably unremarkable considering it’s an expansion team. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Buffalo Sabres | Oct. 19, 2021
guntrix replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Not a fan of Green upplaying other teams to downplay our losses. We shouldn’t be losing 5-2 to Buffalo. -
How long are Boeser, Sutter and Motte out for? That starting lineup looks spotty. Don’t even get me started on that defense I just hope we can outscore our opponents

That’s because draft pedigree factors into Juolevi’s value, as is usually the case.
