Team lacks heart and grit , playing for each other and not as individuals
Too small, our smallest guy Garland has the biggest heart
You can have all the skill you want, but if there is no chemistry if falls flat
Canucks fans like a Hollywood marriage, believing it looks good, then ending with a messy divorce
They had chemistry up the ar$$ and what happened? Benning Kucked it up . fire the coach and replace Benning . Move Benning to scouting.

Benning didn't stab anyone in the back. Linden had other things going on and wasn't fully committed. He was just a familiar face to help get us through dark times.
Benning was told to be competitive. We were ever going to rip it down with the Sedins here so you can't blame Benning for those first few years. Yes, you could argue he could have acquired more picks and stayed out of FA. However, over the past 4 seasons he has built us a solid team through the draft. They are much better than they are playing right now.
Fire the coach, and his staff (except Shaw) and then bring in an experienced POHO. Evaluate from there.
Bennings trades the last 3 seasons have been above average.
How can you stick up for such a fool.

I have no problem if Benning tied up 11 millions in Demko and Marky for six years.
Marky is worth it and he could have been phased out properly.That goalie tandem would have scared every team.
First of all Benning should of Traded Demco for a stud Dman. or prospect, Edmonton would have given up Broberg or Detroit, Seider . Benning could have kept Tanev, Markstrom ,and Toffoli . The result would be way different now

So blame it on the Fans and the media for un preforming millionaires cry me a river . Sorry, if you have a good preforming team everything's rosy the media are happy the fans are happy the owners are happy even the guy who parks the cars is happy. But start loosing and even the wife is unhappy . If you what Shangri-La start winning, but that key is held by the GM ( no pressure ) He in his wisdom puts the team together. Constructs a winning team built with winning players. The coach must be able to handle winning, harder to win easier to lose. If the GM has the right eye for talent and the coach has the right system the team will be successful. So Jim and Travis are you winners are you made of the right stuff ?

Change is coming. But it takes time.
You have to do your due diligence when firing management and coaches. It's a huge commitment. This season is already a wash anyways, may as well let these guys finish the season and hire new guys in the summer for a fresh start. A new coach and manager isnt going to help this team make the playoffs this season.
No you fire Green you can not let this guy continue to coach these kids.

There’s no way we could fit that team under the cap.
Yah he could have Holtby and Virtanen,buy outs would not be on the books and Edler and Tanev may have taken less.
-
JB screwed this team Tanev , Markstrom , Toffoli, Edler not Signed . That hurt the team more than anything . A lot of leadership lost.
Miller Pettersson Boeser
Pearson Horvat Toffoli
Motte Sutter Hoglander Or a signed other center
fill in the rest who is left
Hughes Tanev
OEL Hamonic
Edler Myers
Markstrom

As much as I liked what Benning did this off season. It doesn’t make up for his completely disastrous 2020 off season. That looks to have broken this team.
I was on the fire Green train last year, now I think we gotta clean house of all the brass.
Now with the reported split in the locker room between Horvat and Miller… just so depressing. What has happened to this team. Can’t believe this but honestly I’d rather go with Miller. Horvats soft quiet turn the other cheek pc style of leading is not my style at all. Millers no BS call it how it is dropping F bombs is right up my alley. Reminds me of Iginla.
I guess we gotta wait and see what happens to this dumpster fire. Life as a Canucks fan eh
I agree Benning screwed up the team after the Bubble season.
- Did not sign Tanev there best D man and a leader in the room well respected.
- Did not sign Markstrom , Best goalie and a leader in the room good friends with Pettersson . could be major factor in his play so far.
- Did not sign Toffoli . Well liked in the room . a play driver
- Not resigning Edler another leader ,could have been a bottom pairing deman .
We seen this last year and now this year the team has no soul.
-
You are not getting any changes the are going to play the season as is . Draft and repeat , They will draft around 5 to 8 and Draft a deman . Next year they will start over with the same coaches and players .Maybe adding a new D man.

Fire Benning and Green bring in the Hunter Brothers and turn this ship around as far as Pettersson there may be a reason he was drafted where he was , he needs to get his head out of his A$$ and stop with twitter and play hockey. FA has been brain washed by friends and people he has hired that this is the way to build a contender . They were close in the Bubble but Jim's cap issues clearly cost him . He should have kept Markstrom Tanev and Toffoli, traded Demco for a top 4 deman . Jake could have been traded as well. The return on Demco and Jake would have been very good. But no look where we are now.

New Coach First. Then GM.

Aquaman wants to clear out the whole management. Basically a clean slate. To do that, its best to hire a GM that will get that job done because Benning is not the right GM to turn this ship around and is not the right GM to hire the new coach. That is my conclusion of what is taking so long to fire Green. The man for the job is Gillis and Aquaman knows him very well so maybe he will give him a 2nd chance. We really dont have better options because scotty bowman is retired, and Jim Rutherford is not good at all. The only other person rigjt for the GM job might be Avs Assistant GM.
LOL no way to Gillis there are better options out there , I would hire the Hunter Brothers .

Hockey Guy says that the Canucks will never win the Stanley Cup in his life time. I believe this to be true. I have rooted for the nucks for 50 years they have come close 3 times. Until Benning and Green are fired and FA backs away from this team nothing will change.

I would trade JT Miller for Broberg and a 2 from Edmonton.

Your kidding right Trade Everyone 24 and over rebuild . Keep Demco

Get rid of the excuse making failures. (JB green)
Team would be hard pressed to be any worse than what we’ve seen over the last 8 years.
team could do well and be in the play off conversation well past November which would be an improvement over JBs teams.
But the new GM will have his work cut outbad contracts cap straped and not really and tradable depth won’t make things easy.
you’d think after 8 seasons of stinking you’d have be able to trade from a position of strength but not JBs teams our depth comprises of other teams thrown away AHLers.
Hold on, trading for picks this years and next years draft is what we should be doing rebuild from the bottom out . Miller, Horvat, Boeser and any deman not named Hughes. Stock up on all positions .
At what point do the players give up on the franchise?
