  1. The bottom line is, I would rather have the player than not have the player. If burning the year from the ELC is the difference between that player choosing Vancouver or not, I think that is as straight forward as it gets. But I'm sure with how certain you are about Bennings abilities, you likely have insight into these negotiations. If you cannot grasp that, I can see why you're pulling quotes from HF.
  2. I really like Byram too, but feel we will not be in a position to snag him I think whoever passes on Caufield in the 5-10 range will look back on it regrettably. I would be shocked if he got past the 10th pick
  3. I know we need defense, but Caufield is my top choice if we're picking 7-10
  4. The whining from our resident Utica fans is nauseating. Don't like the product they're putting on the ice, don't follow the team or go to the games. As much as you seem to know Benning doesn't care about whats happening in Utica, I can assure you he does. That is one of the things his job relies on, prospect development. Move the team to Abby or Cali, so you lot can actually see what ECHL hockey is all about.
  5. I wish we would have just moved this team to Abbotsford. Then maybe Esche and his group can purchase an ECHL franchise, and the whiny resident Comets fans around here can enjoy ECHL hockey like they truly deserve
  6. This was never a season Canucks were going to do damage anyhow, Boeser having a down year in a contract year is a blessing in disguise for us. Horvats contract is actually more of a comparable than what we initially thought, going into this season.
  7. He actually tried, as did a number of other Canucks. Nice try at using a flawed example though. You can't go out there and Bertuzzi people, we know how that ends.
  8. We don't have a single player able to step up against the Getzlaf's anymore. Hope Canuck nation is as happy about this as they seem to be. I surely am not.
  9. Ken Hitchcock, folks 1-6-3 in their previous 10 games and losers of 5 in a row says otherwise, Hitch. https://www.tsn.ca/hitchcock-on-wild-card-race-we-re-playing-the-best-1.1260615
  10. So how about that Jett Woo fella, having a pretty dang good D+1 season
  11. I know you were just trying to make a point, but Djibouti actually hosts a very important, strategic military base for the Americans known as Camp Lemonnier
  12. canuckledraggin please don't let facts get in the way of a good story
  13. alfstonkers hate for Tryamkin is second only to his love for WD. Its not worth it trying to debate anything NT or WD related with him haha Tryamkin was one of our better defensemen that pitiful season, I do hope he returns some day, but until then we have to focus on the players who are here and who will be here going forward
  14. Top 10 may be a bit of a stretch, but I think top 15 in a re-draft, this soon after he was drafted is pretty unreal Benning and his staff certainly know what they're doing
  15. Here you go again.. the amount of picks you think Jim 'should' have acquired during the previous few years is not something that would sway Utica's success or lack thereof in either direction. More whining from our resident Utica fans So looking forward to another 6 years(?) of this. Jim has done a tremendous job drafting, and the proof will start to play out in the next 2 years in Utica. Til then I suppose we will suffer with your PA attempts to put down Canucks management in nearly every post you make.
  16. I think it's shown in the results, nothing further needed to be looked into than that! Just wait until Sutter is back too
  17. I forward a motion to rename this thread to 'Nova Scotia, do we really need it?'
  18. I use to care about the Canucks farm team staying in Utica..but fans like yourself have kind of spoiled that view for me. The saltiness from your posts these days is laughable. Guess you folks should get out and enjoy AHL hockey while you can, eh? Edit: Just hope the team does not end up in Abbotsford.
  19. Same kind of opinion as those folks who were interpreting Jake's facial expressions
  20. We have very little invested in this asset (3rd round pick, obtained from signing a free asset in Lack), these are the types of players you sit on and hope it pans out. Why trade them for another lottery ticket (~3rd round pick)?? Especially when said asset has not regressed one bit since being drafted. C'monnnn mannnnnn

    So after deciding you weren't going to comment on it any further as it would be beating a dead horse, you decide to comment twice Y'all not salty at all. Not one bit. Face it, Utica is a feeder team for Vancouver. Whatever Vancouver decides to do with its personnel is its own business, if you aren't a fan of that philosophy I suggest you find an NHL team to cheer for, so that you won't run into the same problem again.

    I understand the frustration with deploying checking centres in scoring roles, but Sam Gagner is not the guy to get upset for. He isn't even playing Centre for the Marlies... I think the teams hopes is that Gaudette can elevate his play to that of a #1 AHL Centre this season, so essentially the gripe here is over whether or not Gagner could fit as a 2nd line centre in Utica. At this point in his career I feel its fairly evident he is not a centre in any capacity any longer. So are Comets fans really that upset that they're missing out on a 1st/2nd line right winger? Isn't that the spot we hope our actual young prospects can elevate their play to? Seems to be much commotion over nothing here...a non issue.

    Sam Gagner | C/W

    One question, why have the Comets fans been so bitter about this? Its Sam freakin' Gagner. He is not going to make, or break anyones career. Also, this 'dim jim' rhetoric makes y'all look salty as f. Over a non issue none the less.
  24. You're the one wanting proof of him saying he's coming back, but when I ask for the same in return for what you've been spewing you tell me to use my imagination. Nothing says 'I have a valid point' with a rebuttal like 'use your imagination'
