I get this is a canucks fan forum and all, But i really do think majority of people here should start watching other teams play, Learn more about their front offices / prospect pool ect and not just run off the old quick google search for stats. We are not the only team out there to take 8 years to rebuild ( Didn't start till 4 years ago really? ). They might not play like a unit very well thus far, But nobody can argue the value these guys all have if we wanted to trade them. Literally an entire core we drafted in all cornerstone positions.. All proven at some point over the last 3 years. All under 23.Teams that win the cup have a core of 29-32 year olds, Not 23 year olds. JB should have been our head scout, Not gm. When you compare this to every other teams history, We are right on par if not ahead of some rebuilds. Maybe we could have had a near unheard of 3 year rebuild like this place seems to think happens to every other team in the league if JB didn't make all these blunders via signings and some trades. But knowing how the typical nhl player matures in the league, Even if we surrounded this core around a better support cast, History shows our core group is too young to truly be a cup contender. Not to mention if we are a better team by year 3 we don't have 3/4's of this core lol. Hopefully we are turning a page and start to learn to sell players when the value is high if they don't fit long term plans. The way all our contracts are set up over the next couple years, Along with the talent and age of our core group, We are in a great position for the next GM to keep us competitive soon and for a long time!

Please please please bruiser turn this team into a gritty group. One thing that pissed me off more then anything since our cup run has been how we seem to purposely get rid of any and all grit / potential fighters. Those are the types of guys that make you soo proud to be a fan. Regardless where we are in the standings right now, It finally feels like a fresh start. I hope all these guys can start working as a unit. Mental stress can really weigh someone down, Now add in big contracts, Cameras in your face i feel like most guys are just at such a low point without any light at the end of the tunnel. With the great news from yesterday, I hope the guys are feel good! Go canucks Go! Watch for demko to come up huge tonight i bet! I aint saying the word haha!

LMAO spezza with a near kill there. Sucks for pionk. 2 game suspension and a fast knee to the dome lol -
We can only afford 32 or so loses to be on a 90-100 point playoff pace. We have 17 of them already. 57 games to go, We can only lose 15 or so more games. Pretty much need 3/4 game win streaks with 1 lose in between from here on out. Now i love my team but are we going to do that? Not a chance at this rate lol. We need to get max value for some guys this deadline. Can't eff this one up or we will remain the same old canucks, Where we hang on to guys till they no longer have value Aqua should be hiring a very well respected PoHo, That's who should be deciding all the other positions. Owner looking for a coach is a no go for me. This is all buffalo does and we are no better at this point

Guess we found one of the ol' grumps

No chit its a rough place to play when we are losing... The west coast in general house the most entitled people in the world. Everyone has gone soo far over the edge they seem to think they are entitled to having a winning hockey team or they just slam everyone connected to it till they want out. Nobody forcing you to be a fan of this sports entertainment franchise lol. Maybe once all these oldtimers clocks stop ticking we will have a much less toxic city to play in. Majority of the younger fans i know just stop paying much attention when the going gets tough. The older crowd seem to be the ones who feel the need to voice their negativity to no end. Oh well different era, Different ways of thinking i guess

Might as well trade back for rooster and beags lmao. How is it even possible we are this bad at the PK. Should atleast try other things if we can't defend with the same crew every game. Put one of Hogs/Garland/Podz on each unit putting pressure on their D / Cherry pick for breakaways. Good chance we give up a goal, Might as well try to score..

If we could just have average special teams, We would be a 7/8 team. Probably lose 1st round due to how soft we are but we also have alot of proven playoff performers. Really really need new front office and bench asap. All experienced well respected vets. Pay the big bucks. Winners need winning leadership. Not cheap AHL guys trying to learn the league themselves

[Signing] Devils re-sign Jack Hughes
Mustard Tiger replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Man what the hell... Too soon... Way to drive up the price of young guys coming off a elc who " have potential to become... " I wish everyone coming off their ELC had to sign a 3 year bridge, Preferably performance based as well. League will be full of 26 year old Loui's soon dragging teams down -

I'm thinking the flames will be aggressive at the deadline. They are playing real good, And its the only year they can go for it. Only 12 players signed for next year with 30m cap space. The kicker being who they need to re-sign. Tkachuk ( 10+ knowing that family ) , Mangiapane ( 8+ ) , Little john ( probably walk but 8? ) They also have a 1st an two 2nd's. We need pears to start scoring so we can snag a 2nd from them lol -
I'm almost at the point where i think we should keep green till the end of the year so we can get a top 3 pick. Replace benning with a well known/respected gm asap and let him do a overhaul this deadline/offseason. If we can bring in someone who doesn't get dragged through the mud in trades, We could potentially do a real quick rebuild with all this trade value on the roster right now. Not to mention drafting a really good player in the top 3 this year ( i mean #5 ) If some of these young guys are pouting and letting it effect their play, I would move on from them rather than build around them. I don't want to believe it but makes you wonder why EP has done nothing but regress since losing his buddies to free agency

I'll always be a true loyal fan, But holy crap the decision making from coach to owner since preseason started has been piss poor. I really don't understand why we take soo long to atleast try a potential easy fix in a coaching change. Cost nothing to the team but cash. And its going to cost aqua more by not doing anything asap. Even if we make the playoffs, I'm not spending a dime on this team this year. Too many poor decisions made for my liking
