I hope you are correct I am just not confident in anything so far. ‘A few good moves around the margins so far. Bear is okay and Aman is found money. I like the addition of Joshua in the role he is there to play. Other than that it has very uninspiring management and just seem to be spending capital like we are a contender, not a marginal team with nothing coming.

Even if you make no moves on D you have to move a winger to keep Kuzmenko. He is going to take some cap space next year. ‘That doesn’t even consider what it may take to re-sign Bo or go hunting for another centre. We need to clear cap badly just for those 2 things, fixing the D is a whole other issue. We have depth in one area and prospects in one area, wing so that is where it needs to come off of. Pearson, Garland, Miller and Brock are kind of the only options to clear cap from the wing and probably need to move at least 2.

Nice effort by the team overall. ‘As bad as we have been at times, we can score and that is something. ‘If Brock can get on a heater and we have three lines scoring. ‘Last year whenever we started getting warm we would lay an egg to a bad team, well bad team incoming. Let’s see if we can show a bit more character this season. Would be nice to see that kind of effort in front of Demko, and some early saves from Demko.

Ex-GM Dave Nonis weighs in on the Canucks

I think the fans would not only accept but would embrace a properly thought out rebuild. -

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Colorado Avalanche | Nov. 23, 2022

He doesn’t have the shot. Yeah great playmaker but as long as he is not a significant threat as a shooter that is unlikely to happen. -

Amazing what rebuilding does. -

That’s a road to nowhere. -
Will he be available at 16th OA?

I cheer for a lousy team that has usually worn ugly uniforms. If I am bending over and taking it, it is because of the team not the ads.

DrJockitch replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I don’t think most people think we can be very good anymore. I think most think if everything goes well we can scrape into a playoff position but not really challenge for anything. This management group looks like they are just getting ready to push for the middle again. I guess the 16th OA will still be our best prospect as Lekkerimaki has been rough so far this year. -
Barely even notice them. Don’t care.

And keeping him another year is good tanking. -

Why does everybody think we can get a second or third FOR Myers. We would be lucky to only have to spend a second to move Myers. -
Canucks & Sharks..Would U? (Discussion)
DrJockitch replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I have actually thought about that somewhat lately, I wonder whether JR would be crazy enough to go after EK. ‘He may just be that kind of crazy. ‘Man that would be a fun d to watch on a very bad team. ‘I think EK with some retention and taking OEL would be worth consideration. Pearson goes as well, still would be more Cap pain and why would SJ do it? They are trying to rebuild as we should be. They want youth and pics not trading a player playing great for similar aged and injured player that is playing poorly. ‘Fun to think about EK and QH but that is about it. -
Big moves just don’t happen in November in the flat cap era. As much as we and JR would like them too. can still complain about the lack of significant moves (and I plan too). I don’t like what JR has done so far because it feels like early Benning, Stillman is JR’s Vey, but he has done a fairly surprising amount since the season started given the circumstances. 3 trades of NHL(ish) players. Don’t like two of the moves but Bear wasn’t too bad. Like it or not in the flat cap era, the team you start the year is most likely going to stay mostly the same until close to the deadline when teams accrue some cap.

Tank Hard for Bedard - Playoff chances are already Slim
DrJockitch replied to Provost's topic in Canucks Talk
You haven’t been paying attention. Once we are comfortably eliminated from any thought of playoff contention we will pull it together and make a run for 16th OA. -

Another Leaf D man down. More cap opened up. They may even be desperate enough for Myers for future considerations. Win win. Get it done. -

We needed to clear cap to get cap compliant and it ended up costing a second and worse, taking Stillman to do it. If they pulled off that deal, would not have had to waste a second rounder to get cap compliant and wouldn’t have had to watch Stillman be our worst d-man but still get in lineup every night. ‘Benning and Benning 2.0 have been awful. They act like we are just putting finishing touches on cap contender when this team is at best mediocre. -
Do we really need to blow this all up?
DrJockitch replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Canucks Talk
Hold on to Pettey, Quinn, the Russians. Other than that blow it up and blow it up hard.
