    lol

    just post a source, not a claim to have a source. 

    you haven't shown that you know what Benning's thought process was.

    er, uh so and so said something.

    just post some actual content.

     

     

     

     

    Again, you've conveniently cropped out parts of my posts so you don't have to acknowledge them.  You continue to argue on semantics. Just give it up.

    what a laughable 'source'.   'it's fair to assume a possible' blah blah.  Is that supposed to mean something?

    Kings offered the 13th overall pick and a top defensive prospect coming off a 52 points in 70 games AHL season

    Benning was quoted saying he worked very hard on that deal and felt LA had offered more.

     

    Anyone with critical thinking skills can see that given the price of Lucic in 2015, Canucks had to have offered the 23rd pick + more if they had "worked hard" as Benning had said. Benning also said they were "in" on Lucic which means they offered a competitive offer.

     

    But it seems some people cannot view Benning from both sides. You are one of those people. Sort of like US citizens and Trump. Either they hate him or think he's god.

    This "mixed messages" and "changed course" narrative is so nonsensical.  If that were true then this team should be nowhere right now, right back where they started 4 years ago from spinning their wheels, floundering, going in all directions and getting nowhere fast.

     

    As for the veteran signings, how does one account for Toronto?  Edmonton?  Oh, "their rebuilds are over", right?  Fine, then what about Buffalo and Arizona signing the likes of Okposo and trading a HIGH FIRST for Stepan?  Frankly, there is no team out there that does this "blow it up and tank, all young players" model that some idolize.

    LOL, all subscribed and tapped right into any trolling clueless drama queen you can find.  And now that the rebuild is showing solid fruits after only 4 years you just cannot STAND it and desperately try to spin some new narrative, eh Botch.

     

    Go off then, and watch your decade-plus #properrebuild Leafs get bounced in the first round.

    For those that literally and admittedly had no clue what was going on, and even now are still in denial.  I'd say the blindness is more sad than hilarious.

     

    The only "stealth" part was the massive number of injuries to key players the past three years that dropped the team below where it should have finished if healthy, getting us better picks in the process.  The rebuild went from a team of declined veterans with NTCs and no prospects to a top-10 stockpile of quality young players now ready to come into a team with prime-aged veteran presence to make the transition.  In just a mere four years. 

     

    Predicted exactly this quite a while ago -- after years of despair and confusion, some will wake up to a young competitive team and wonder "what happened?!"  The excuses should be amusing, probably something in the order of "got lucky" or something.

    Mr.Hutton Wink will defend this regime till he dies ::D::D::D

    Benning loyalists 2014:  If you bottom out you'll end up like Edmonton and suck forever, trading for NHL ready talent will keep us competitive and not ruin our prospects.

    Benning loyalists 2018:  Good think we bottomed out and got those top picks.  Of course we're not competitive yet, some people have no patience.

    Canadian Rugby 2017 - the Canucks have no future top 6 forwards!  The Leafs are the next Blackhawks!   Gotta have/win lottery pickz to build a team #properly.

     

    Canadian Rugby 2018 - still can't engage in hockey talk - in favour of tell-all, one-liner narratives between two, oversimplified, imaginary nominal camps.

     

    Er, Boeser at 23 sure showed those 'Loyalists" the failure in not #properlyrebuliding! 

    The Canucks have no future top 6 forwards. 

    The rebuild doesn't begin until the teardown and tank are activated! 

    Er, no lottery wins....the Canucks are still another half decade from having rebuilt!  When will the rebuild begin?

    Er, Leipsic isn't a pick - and just more part of the failure -  of the improper method!  The rething won't start until we tank and stockplie the pickz!

     

    Got any hockey talk Rugby?  It sure beats this loaded narrative nonsense.

    Please post some examples from 2014 and 2018 that show this.   I have not noticed anything of the sort.   ANYONE who didn't see a rough ride coming after the peak was far too optimistic but not having been part of the board in 2014 I am not sure what you are talking about so are you just portraying your own narrative for some form of message (that I still don't understand no matter how many time you use the term "loyalist"...what does that mean, they walk his dog and pick up his laundry?) that aligns, again, with you constantly wanting Benning fired?

     

    Your GM is not perfect but he has moved himself easily into the top half in the NHL over the past couple of years simply by how he took an empty cupboard and bumped it from about 30th in NHL to about 5 to 8.   He also transformed how his team plays and brought a style that is in tune with the new NHL in terms of speed and forecheck.   No, he doesn't have all the pieces yet but sure looks like they are coming.    Does that make someone a "loyalist" for that?   Do I need to fly to Vancouver to get laundry?

    They produce because they're all good players but he's an ill-fit on that line. He's there because of a lack of better options IMO. I hope that's not the case next year.

    If we draft #2 or #3, I think we take Svechnikov/Zadina who could play on that line.

    I think Baer had a solid spot on the first like with Bo and Boeser and clicked very well with both of his linemates. That said, the line hasn't been together for too much, as all three forwards have spent significant periods of time injured this season. Baertschi's challenge will be to beat out any contenders to his spot on the top line (Pettersson and Leipsic at this point). Unless anyone proves to be better with Bo and Boeser, I don't see why Baertschi should be removed from that top line.

    I think if we land Zadina/Svechnikov they'll have to get a look with Horvat if they make the team. Like there would be no point bringing offensive 18 year old forwards on the roster to have them play with Sutter or Gagner.

     

    With that being said, if we don't get those guys, any free agents like Kane could and should be able to play anywhere in the lineup, giving Baer the opportunity to stick with Horvat and Boeser. 

     

    But I think Baer needs a top 6 role. Might as well trade him if he doesn't stay in the top 6 as we have enough bottom 6 guys. Baer is a skill guy or bust, much like Goldobin. They can't really play the grinder/energy minutes.

    Hard to even try when your starting point is so lacking in basic knowledge about the game.   Try canuckArmy, they are a good starter place.    Have fun!::D

    Dude the fact we're on this site means that we've both probably spent considerable time playing/coaching/watching hockey. I don't think we lack knowledge about the game. We just have different perspectives.

    Some of the crap these people get from CanuckArmy and other troll sites is bad enough but then to parrot it to people who actually understand that game - while entertaining, it is pretty hilarious.     

     

    Cheer bp.   :)

    Funny since all these vets JB has signed haven't taken a spot yet that deserved to go to a young kid

    Also it's just simple math.

    Lets say he signs two FA's.

     

    Look at the guys we have for next season.

     

    19 guys potentially to compete for our roster. Assuming the Bold are the locks for the team.......that leaves 3 more spots. Pick any 3 and let me know who's gonna get left in the AHL.

     

    FA1

    FA2

    Eriksson

    Horvat

    Boeser

    Sutter

    Baertschi

    Gagner

    Virtanen 

    Gaunce

    Goldobin

    Leipsic
