  1. I'd go with option 2, add in drafting two or 3 amazing defensive prospects who go in the 2nd - 3rd rounds after we manage to move a Baer, Pearson, Stecher, Ferland or Sutter type out. The boys wanna go to the show, light up that Marky, alien, flow, millervat fire in the quiniverse and unleash the amped tannen.
  2. In the long term it was probably a blessing that Bo felt the way he did, I bet it made him work harder and more considerate. As the Captian he will know the challenges of the younger players, which is clutch in terms of there the team is at in its rebuild and the impending influx of young players. Also Bo will be able to speak to the new guys in a way that reflects experience having been through it already.
  3. Markstrom. Until January his stats were mediocre at best. This guy wants to be good and has great character. Ian Clarke has given him the tools and I think Markstrom will have a career year and continue to be as amazing as he was since January of 2018.
  4. Captain wishlist. Bo Horvat Elias Pettersson Derek Dorsett Troy Stecher Alex Burrows Brock Boeser Jacob Markstrom Quinn Hughes Antoine Rousse Nils Hoglander Tony Robbins.
  5. Canucks are top 8 this year, around 100 points. All the core guys have breakout years. Our goaltending is unreal and we have to goals to back it. When our power play/toughness is firing teams will think twice about taking liberties and stupid penalties. Hughes and pettersson are penalty drawing monsters.
  6. I'm curious to see what Jim does with Boeser, I'm worried were going to lose him. Also how will he move out a contract or two? We played pretty heavily for Miller given how Tampa was handcuffed. So now with our disadvantage in this negotiation I dont see how we dont give up a Virtanen or a baertschi/tanev and picks to unload a guy and bring back a lower pick. We also might have to ship markstrom.
  7. Nothing mythical about a troll. Cause there you are. What's to dispute about a point made by a person who has missed the entirety of the experiences had by those involved? What's to say to someone who has analysed a situation to some level of scrutiny that completely whiffs on simple humanity? Even if this act is 80% positive and 20% negative as a generality, the guy grabbing the 20% obviously doesn't know very much about it.

  9. Oh f$%k. Then go to the grad of a disabled kid and tell noone. You guys are perfect right? He did a very selfless act , you clowns are over here whining and trying to find something wrong with it? Grow up , go do something charitable yourselves. Virtue signalling? F$%k off with that . Quinn Hughes is a class act.
  10. Such as Class Act, This kid has it all, all the intanglibles.. Hes got the tangibles too. He could not have done a better job of representing his franchise, from his Season to his speech to his post award interview. Draft time now baby. Cmon jimbo snatch up some picks.
  11. It would be pretty good if somehow unrelenting bettman cheers thundered through the building. Maybe we could get a game officiated fairly.
  12. When you do a really good GDT I always look the whole thing over and then make a flat half smile with only my mouth for about 6 seconds before I utter a "pfffft whatever." With jealous disgust.
  13. Welcome to the organisation Mr Pearson. I look forward to the resurgence of your career, in tandem, with the resurgence of our organisation. The entire Province of British Columbia oves you a debt for your work in vanquishing the defenceman known as Guddy. His reign of terror behind the blue line plagued our people, burned our villages and while has was a handsome man with a majestic moustache you are the hero that our people need right now.
  14. I wish guddy all the success in the world. I wanna see what Pearson has to offer Bo.
  15. He seems like a good kid. I wish him every success. Its done now, and i hope Linus Karlsson can Pettersson all over his next season.
  16. I predict this is the next move that disturbs this group. The early success will help many players get paid but they need another year or two to develop the grit, intensity and hunger. They have the skill already. Luckily they are deep but with time ticking on the Cap clock to fit all the pieces in the tiny box, the nylander deal will always be the first domino. However if Nylander can pull together a season or two it will be more of a reference point. Now that the young players are getting contracts based upon their potential and not their body of work this will be more common with over zealous green GMs. Advanced stats are a false sense of security to put all the chips down on alone. L.a Muzzin was a a thing, a pretty good thing. Now you have to see what Toronto Muzzin looks like. I am very appreciative to Kyle Dubas for trading for a guy whos name so easily converted to a slanderous term. Welcome to Toronto Muffin.
  17. Captaincy is a matter of leadership. The captain is best used in team sports and a rally point. When it gets tough , that's when the captain takes a gear and inspires the troops to win battles in the trenches. Yeah he talks to the refs and takes charge of certain team issues..but a good captain is effective at those responsibilities because he has earned the right to lead through hard work and perseverance. If you slap a "C" on the skill guy, it doesn't neccesarily satiate the previously mentioned point. You ever work for a boss who didnt walk the talk? Vs. The guy(girl) who's right there, or been right there, and they are the best representative of what they preach... leadership is about setting the tone, charting the course and Leading the way. It's not called a team boss. Its Bo or no.
  18. Hes proven that he is playing his best hockey, and in that , he is capable of more than .907%. Hes finally got a bit of a team in front if him as the entire team effort coincides with markys success. There's opinions on this board that are conditional to unrelenting success so he will, like the last, never be good enough.
  19. We need a #1 D, if hughes is that guy we need a #2 D (hutton?), If hes already in the system we need a #1 G (Dipietro). Then we just need a a #1 Leftwing. Foresight is 2020 baby!! The list is getting smaller!
  20. What can a GM get for a Pooliout and and a Coldobin? Team tank is alive and well. What a great comeback by Virtanen and Hutton! I predict shaller does good for us but the rousel needs to be taken out to utica when it starts to smell. Our one trick pony got leipsic and with to many starts this trip we missed the Markstrom,. P.s it brings me great pleasure that Willie D has a job in L.A. hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha. L.A.st job. Hope Quenville gets a job in the east.
  21. Can the lawless wealthy really be so cunning? Or do they just get really good at landing on their feet? No they just always want money, in my opinion, ticket sales above all else. A catastrophic mistake was sitting lu at the winter classic, so petty but im sure it took alot of heart away from the core group when theybsee tjat crap happen to one of the guys. Arguably the canucks have done ok since 2010 , arguably things could be much better. None of that matters. What matters is the present. Presently we need to build two top lines, find our #1 goalie, backup.. try out another non nhl coach and staff and establish defence after the top 4. Nbd. Ive got drunk optimism.
