I like the Minnesota deal but that is it. Kessel just no unless they are giving us picks

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Montreal Canadiens | Nov. 29, 2021
DrJockitch replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Woohoo. Is this our longest winning streak this year? -
Does make you wonder if a request for permission to talk to him didn't trigger Montreal's moves over the weekend.
-
I agree. Besides we are so far from a Stanley Cup. We need someone who can help us work our way all the way up to respectable. After that we can worry about next steps. Nightmare scenario for me is reuniting JB and CJ. Shortcuts by ownership and not seeing the degree of changes needed.

Unless JB goes with this is same mistake made with hiring Torts. Come on learn from your previous mistakes.

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Pittsburgh Penguins | Nov. 24, 2021
DrJockitch replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
This is not a team built for Stanley Cup contention. It is more the typical Canadian model that the Leafs developed for decades. Scrape into playoffs and hope goalie gets hot and goes on run. Feel like better than really are, make some I’ll advised moves, crash burn and then retool into a borderline playoff team again. ‘Pettey should probably be on wing which puts us with one quality NHL centre in Bo, Dickinson should be on wing and Lammiko has been disappointing. As good as Miller has been and as good as the Arizona trade has worked out they were based on the premise that we were further along than we are. The D has been built through UFA because we can’t draft or develop D-man an UFAs are not a way to build the team, just complement. We have three wingers playying centre on any given night because we can’t draft and develop Centres. This team is built around wingers which is not a recipe for success especially since Podz is the only one who has the talent for top 6 that plays a heavy game. Garland and Hoglander play above their weight class but that isn’t intimidating anyone. There is nobody opening up the ice for Pettey and Brock with physicality, no forechecking presence whatsoever. Worst part of our game is the breakout. This team is built to play an attacking/skating style but is trying to play cycle games like the Sedins are still there. The D is terrible at clearing the puck and the forwards are always hooking back or stationary when the pass comes to clear the zone giving the Other team lots of time to set up D system and set traps. Watch Calgary the forwards are moving forward when they receive the breakout pass, weird huh. Hopefully full restructure is coming and tearing this team down to the studs. May be a few more years of pain but would be nice to actually be building towards something other than scraping into playoffs and hoping for miracle run. -

At this point I am okay with Aqua taking his time as long as he has taken JB’s phone away. All the rumours sound like he is talking to professional consultants and the league for aid in restructuring the team. I hope he has realized that he has made a bunch of mistakes and is looking for the appropriate help. we need a new management group in but as long as JB’s hands are tied there is no rush, the season is lost and the deadline is a long way off. -

As good as Demko has been I think it was likely losing Markstrom the way they did that broke the team, or I guess just the combo of losing both of them to a close rival. whatever it was, team is broken. If this team was working hard, doing the right thing and losing (like Ottawa) I would have a lot less problem with the team but it often looks like OEL and Garland are the only ones who still care. -

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
DrJockitch replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Any talks with Minnesota should involve Greenway. We need centres, right D and size, anything else is just moving around deck chairs on titanic. Last thing we need is another small $5M winger. -
If this season bombs, do you support a rebuild ?
DrJockitch replied to MaxVerstappen33's topic in Canucks Talk
From a cap management perspective if Pettey goes to wing we will almost certainly have to move a big wing contract to fill the middle. This is assuming JT Miller is as good as gone already. I think Boeser likely still has significant value and would look at that as a possibility. -

OEL played RD in those instances -

Start with a complete rebuild of organization. President, GM, coaching staff. Bring them in and let them evaluate players. I think Pettey needs to go to wing, we need a number 1, 3 and 4 centre and a number one right D, this says to me a long way to go. As long as JB is gone we should hopefully fill one of the gaps in draft this year )though that hopefully means a player a couple of years away). -

Canucks record on drafting and developing talent
DrJockitch replied to fanfor42's topic in Canucks Talk
So the Aquillini's hired a consulting company to assess the running of the Vancouver Canucks. I wonder how much it is going to cost them to tell them what most already know, we have a bad GM and all our troubles trickle down from there (well maybe one step higher).
