ruilin96 replied to BertaNuck's topic in Canucks Talk
Goodbye friends! It was a great place to just hang out and chat Canucks and hockey, I am hoping to see most of you at the new forum! -
This thread has so much memories and definitely part of the identity of this forum. I hope if there is a way, we can migrate this entire thread over to the new forum.

Is @Vintage Canuck migrating over to the new forum with us?
-
There are too many, I just really appreciate there is a community of dedicated Canucks fan who we can share and talk about our favourite team/sport. I made an account and migrating over to the new forum. Hopefully most of if not all of us will all be there.

WE considered Hansen as "hands of stone" during our contending years from 2009-2012, but then with the arrival of Megna, Chaput etc. in the Benning era, they redefined "hands of stone" because they were offensive black-holes where the play dies on their sticks.

[Signing] Avalanche sign Tomas Tatar
ruilin96 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This is a really stupid loophole, and I absolutely hated when teams abuse it the way they did. But on the flipside, if your team has enough depth to keep a player Kucherov, Stone or Landeskog calibre out of the line up for pretty much the majority or entire season and still be comfortably in a playoff spot, that team is already very stacked to begin with anyways. Unlike us, one injury to our top guys and we are looking at another top 10 or top 5 pick. -
Nothing against Hawryluk, but I remember the off-season after losing Toffoli for nothing, Benning trying to hype him up as an important acquistion for forward... Atleast with Stecher & Tanev, at the time I could get behind the idea of replacing them with Hamonic and Schmidt. Markstrom was replaced by Holtby.

[PTO] Joel Kiviranta with Avalanche

Ironically, that game 7 hat trick was against the Avs. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Pius Suter

And none of them take up more caphit that are anywhere close to what Benning's bottom 6 were getting -
(Discussion) make your all-time Canucks lineup with $17
ruilin96 replied to Putgolzin's topic in Canucks Talk
Burrows ($1) - Miller ($3) - Bertuzzi ($3) Hughes ($5) -Tanev ($3) Miller ($2) Assuming all playing at their prime as a Canuck. -
I think it is probably because he was brought here to be a "leader in the lockerroom" and a "veteran prescence in the bottom 6" on a caphit that is way too high even for what he is suppose to bring to the team. Within 2 years of signing his 4 year contract, he isn't even worth a league minimum contract. I don't think he should be on this list, but if he were available as a UFA after his first 2 years as a Canuck, he would at best be signed to a league minimum contract if not won't even get one but he was taking up $3 million in cap space and it is part of the reason why we couldn't retain Tanev & Toffoli in the 2020 off-season. Blame should be placed on Jim Benning.

[Signing] Sharks sign Kyle Burroughs
ruilin96 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Look I get he is a popular player among the fans but not someone we loose sleep over if we let him walk in Free Agency. -
Should have done the same back in 2014 and drafted the guy’s name ends in “lander” instead…

Good pick. Keep him in the organization for a few years and we can recruit his brother to join us once he is UFA. We will bring Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard in the 2031 off-season when the dead cap space for OEL is all gone.

[Proposal] Jonathan Toews as 3C for 1 year?
ruilin96 posted a topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
He probably would choose a team that is more of a legitimate contender instead of coming to Vancouver. But I would like to see the Canucks offer him 1 year to serve as 3C. He would bring a lot of playoff experience. His stats suggest to me that he is still an effective 3C if we sign him to a reasonable cap hit for 1 year.
