  1. There fans need to suffer too - but they already got there two cups in this century; whereas, Vancouver is still talking about the Vancouver Millionaire.
  2. They just got hot at the right time and just look at what happen to Dallas after that finals appearance the year before. Very good chance, they pick in the top 10.
  3. They lost alot of there complementary players but the core are still there, good chance they get in and who else ? Perhaps the busiest team in the offseason ?
  4. The Canucks fan are the big winner: for all the drama that JB had orchestrated.
  5. Shaw is JBs' safety blanket heading into next season - really hope he delivers
  6. Hopefully, Shaw has recognized this as well - looking forward, to what Shaw can do compared to last few years horror show.
  7. I also watched that series and he looked solid based on the Jets deployment & system - imo, this will come down to Shaw & the staff and how they can put these players in positions that they can thrive in. I don’t mind the contract due to Shaws’ reputation as a defensive coach & his ability to develope defence man’s. This offseason, seems to indicate that the Canucks have a 4-5 yr compete window - sprinkled with some luck.
  8. I missed this back & forth Ditto; and imo, MGs' greatest mistake was that he did not surround himself with a second AGM that understands drafting & player development: JB or vice versa (were JB is the GM and two AGM's: Gillman & Gillis). I remember those years under Gillis were the drafts was just an after thought cause there is a good chance the players drafted are going to bust out but when FA opens then the fun begins cause that was Gillis' preferred method of building the roster. Alot of wasted years when it comes to player development; anyways, time to focus on what should matter to the fanbased - this following season after this very aggressive offseason.
  9. It doesn’t matter cause after ELC’s are done there is a good some of those players are wanting to leave or getting traded - one of the teams that are ever rebuilding and challenging for the lottery cup. JB and his team seems to had found a better & cheaper way of building his prospect pool - the 5th, 6th and 7th rounds; hopefully, JB should just accumulate as much picks from these rounds and instruct his team to scout for players in this range - utter genius; even the great Gillis didn’t take advantage of this great sorcen of prospects.
  10. Yeah, the group effort approach to roster management that we are hearing, is a good direction for the team cause if a personnel leaves; and there is a solid system in place, things can still get done. I agree, that the Shaw addition could potentially have the biggest overall impact - pressure is now on the staff; and good chance Shaw was probably consulted on the players.
  11. On paper, the roster looks vastly improved - hopefully the team can have a healthy roster for most of the season and the coaching staff can deliver (?). Let’s give the roster & staff this season to mesh and see what happens - this is not a video game with a reset button.
  12. Why did you have to jinx it and give AV some ammo - smh.
  13. Yeah, where is the Whambulance brigade when you need it.
  14. Movie over - I still have a few hours left till Iam off. Kidding aside, be kind to each other Alf - we need one of your pics
  15. Engaging him is a choice cause he seems to set himself up (in a bad way) - just like looking for playmates in a playground.
  16. That is Gillis behind the keyboard - imo cause so much vitriol towards JB
  17. Didn’t Barrie re sign with the perennial lottery champs Spoilers ?
  18. Avs, are fine; kidding aside, keeping all the talent together will be the hardest part of the job for Sakic. Perhaps they will compensate through a system change and coaching ?
  19. He made his big money in his last deal and this is about quality of life - a real hometown discount rather than a negotiation tactic for more money.
