So, brackett is like a draft pick the canucks selected, spent years developing and now seems to be in his prime as he hits UFA. It Sucks but if Benning & Co developed brackett we shouldn't be too concerned. Any scout wanting complete control over who he picks on draft day is reaching above his pay grade. Will Brackett ever be a GM? Doubt it. Will a scout ever have more say then a GM?No I liked bracketts personality and professionalism. All these conspiracy theories are not even a theory but speculation and ramblings of those smoking too much of their own crop. Lindens gone, he wanted one thing and GMJB saw it differently and JB was right. We only know brackett wanted more control, that's not how director of scouting operates in any pro league. The canucks were right to let him walk, chances are that after whatever deal he signs with a new team will be regrettable for brackett. I think he has seen all the picks Ottawa has and has collectively messed all his shorts. At some point if your team drafts good and develops those players and adds the missing pieces via UFA or trades, you must move excess assets for other areas of weakness. Miller for 1st and 3rd mazanec Toffoli for madden and a 2nd Myers via UFA Ferland( beast come playoffs) ufa Pearson for guddy Madden won't be pushing any of Miller, Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat Toffoli Pearson Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Podkolzin hoglander out of Vancouver. The 1st and 3rd for Miller will not have an impact on any roster for atleast 1-4 more seasons, about when Millers current deal expires. Unfortunately Ferland got hit by the injury bug, I'm excited for what a healthy, hungry and settled ferkie can do come playoffs. Myers is an excellent acquisition and below market price for what he was being offered. Players that want to be here, belong here. Staff that want to be here, belong here.

I likey! Its different then what i usually propose. I'm just going to point out though if the canucks do move Hoglander & Demko I'd be asking for a top end blue chip d man. Podkolzin would get zadina"s spot and we'd keep JV. Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Toffoli Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Roussell Beagle Macewan Hughes Myers Edler ? Tryamkin Rafferty Oj Benn Markstrom Domingue Wouldnt say for example, Demko & Hoglander be used to target Bouchard, Ekblad(i wish) Ristolainen? Wouldnt swapping out Hoglander and Demko for zadina cause more roster issues at F? Add Podkolzin and zadina maybe even Lind Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Toffoli Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Podkolzin ????? Zadina Roussell Beagle Macewan Or Hughes Myers Edler Ristolainen Tryamkin Rafferty Oj Benn Honorable mention to the potential pairing of Hughes and Ekblad for the next decade

1) Schneider was on the canucks for 5 years. 2) Luongo was always #1 in Vancouver while both were here. 3) 98 games played for Schneider over 5 years in Vancouver. 4) Schneiders most starts were 30 with the canucks, who played the other 52? The #1. 5) Schneider was never #1 but had the potential to be one, when given the opportunity he failed. 6) your facts lol lol lol

Yeah, your right. I also think some of their old beefs may rear their ugly heads. Seabrook vs backes Alzner vs lucic Just to name a few.

Haha yeah, maybe 5 years ago. Seabrook, backes, buff, subban, alzner, rask, hanzel, turris, lucic, Eriksson and zucker Are either not the same due to injuries, age, attitude or being in the AHL.

Because his multi million dollar home on the water, his kids, his extended family, the weather, taxes, plus retiring his #1 Florida fudged themselves, they were trying to get panarin and bobrovsky. By making Luongo retire and not ltir the canucks acquired spooner from NYR allowing the rags to outbid florida for panarin. Had the panthers let Luongo go on ltir they would have been able to fit both panarin and bobrovsky. Eat it swamp kittehs!

Because that worked so well when gretz joined the rangers? Messier gave up once he got his millions from the NHL/ endorsements. Wasn't he outside between periods hacking butts and hitting on 18-19 y.o men? Every fan in of the NHL is dreaming of atleast one compliance buy out per team. Van- Eriksson Cal- lucic Ana- Backes or Kesler Edm- Neal Wpg was buff Ott Ryan Tor doesnt count because they circumvent the cba anyways Mtl alzner Nyr- lundqvist Nyi will be pageau Njd subban or Schneider Bos will be ?? Tampa johnson Wash leipsic fla bobrovsky Car Zucker Min rask Sjs name a few Lak nothing left Arz They have several Dal Hanzal Cbj Jenner/ dubinsky Buff skinner Stl allen Det howard Chi seabrook Pitts guddy/ johnson Phil hayes/jvr Vgk a big money f Col johnson Nash- bonino/ turris Seattle could almost start the expansion draft early! Eriksson Backes Lucic Neal Pageau Johnson tampa Skinner dubinsky turris Jvr hanzel zucker Rask Buff Johnson pitt Seabrook Johnson col Subban Alzner Lundqvist Bobrovsky Allen

Quality of team during those years, Luongo final 2 years and the 2 years before Schneider is alot different. Schneider benefited greatly by having Luongo be #1. His first year out east was ok, but in no way is Schneider comparable to Luongo. I may not be a fan of Luongo and his personality traits but he is a HOF goalie. Schneider may be lucky to make the AHL HOF That's like Hedberg vs Roy Leivo is UFA. rather have Boeser Toffoli Virtanen Macewan on RW. LW Miller Pearson Ferland Roussell... C Pettersson Horvat Gaudette Beagle..... Sutter, Baer, Eriksson can hopefully be moved. Leivo and Motte are going to want raises, bye! I'd also be ok with Sutter and Motte being 13/14 F if the Canucks carry 7 D again, prefer 8 D myself.

God damn..... I'm like Nostra-Ruin-Amus

Schneider had potential. That potential is gone. He has never and never will win 30 games in a nhl season. I don't understand the rush to get prospects on the roster. Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Toffoli Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Roussell Beagle Sutter Motte Macewan Eriksson Leivo Baertschi. Sutter, Eriksson, Leivo, Baertschi and maybe Motte won't be back next year. Next year without any signings Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Roussell Beagle Macewan Re sign Toffoli and F is crowded once Podkolzin and Hoglander come over.... What needs to happen is major upgrade on D. Preferably a big Rhd, preferably younger blue chip. Hughes Myers Edler Benn Tryamkin Oj Rafferty

Who were the pens 3 playmaking centers? Staal and Bonino? Both are more checking/ d zone then offensive weapons. Gaudette on the 3rd will put up the same amount of points if getzlaf was there. Gaud is younger, cost controlled, has chemistry with JV, loves it here. You really think getzlaf would be worth the acquistion... 1 year of 35-36 y/o @8.25m on the third line? No thanks, save assests and keep gaud. This shortened season has AG @ 33 points as a 3rd line center. Getzlaf this year playing a ton of minutes as #1 C has 42 points.

Incorrect. Did Luongo retire on March 4th 2014? He even went to Florida with all the other snowbirds....

Fiiiine! Podkolzin Goldy rights Tryamkin rights For Seider Do iiit !

Moritz Seider He's already pushing 30 Moritz Seider Moritz Seider Big, young stud Dman. Do it GMJB! Next year Hughes Myers Edler Seider Tryamkin Rafferty OJ Benn

You don't think my grandmother would have liked to have seen her family after leaving germany at age 9 to "Spend the summer in Canada" I'd like to see your family name, see if they have any tattoos that were recorded back in Germany and Poland.

Podkolzin Tryamkin Baertschi Goldy rights For Seider one of Lindstrom, Cholowski, hronek Just imagine this d core with the forwards as is but also moving out Sutter and Eriksson. Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Toffoli Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Roussell Beagle Macewan Hughes Myers Eder Seider OJ Lindstrom Benn Rafferty

Do i need to spell it for you? Nobody on here is using his back ground as a reason to go after him. You're the one getting all butt hurt bringing up his religion, report yourself.

Just because his sir name is or was connected to a religious belief or area of land doesnt mean that person is practicing or following in good standing. Drugs, booze, sexism, racism, body shaming, NSA sex, trash talking others..... If he is practicing any religion, he is not.in good standing. His family name has zero to do with his words.

Show me a person that doesn't and I will show them one magical 24 hours! I love watching hockey, but i don't like watching Coca-Cola abusing racist misogynistic pro athletes either. Professional sports are supposed to be, guess what? PROFESSIONAL! If i said the same things in a group chat with some work colleagues and they got leaked and the public saw. Would I still have my job ? No.

Saying things whilst the adrenaline and testosterone are flowing is hard to dispute fairly. These comments definitely weren't made in the locker room after a game or practice. This was put into writing, after the fact on social media. Then the fact that's a teammate's wife.... who recently gave birth and was raising a young child.... her weight is zero concern to anyone other then her self and family. Then the worst part.... the native comments... I hope leipsic leaves N.A. if he has such beliefs or thoughts. Not that i care if he gets hurt in any way, i dont want to see anyone risk their future for this bigoted, plug of a hockey player. I wondered why NOBODY on the Canucks seemed to like him.

I've broken down Toffoli as a player before. He's scored 30 goals once Over 20 three times He's an older version of boeser I like Toffoli but saying he will be the highest paid player in forward group is wrong. Toffoli is a top end 2nd line winger behind Boeser but ahead of Virtanen Toffoli scored 24 goals Virtanen 18 So jake deserves 5 million per?

math nerd!

Ok benning, time to add Tryamkin, podz and Pietrangelo! Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Toffoli Hoglander Gaudette Virtanen Roussell Beagle sutter Macewan Ferland Motte Eriksson Hughes Pietrangelo Edler Myers Tryamkin Rafferty? Benn Then when podz is ready to come over Motte Sutter Pearson and hopefully eriksson will be gone. Miller Pettersson Boeser Podkolzin Horvat Toffoli Hoglander Gaudette Virtanen Ferkie Beagle Macewan

Keep that thought process in Alberta, k, thx, ban!
