  1. Not just once, but twice the Canucks could have had Gretzky. The first time was before he was traded to The Kings. Ownership didn’t want to pay the price though.
  2. Does Myers wear number 57 because that’s how old he will be when he finally learns how to play defence?
  3. Btw, if Kravtsov pans out like Hansen, then the Canucks will have won that trade. People seem to forget what an effective 3rd liner he was.
  4. I agree, but I’d still rather be the Avalanche and not just because they won the Stanley Cup last season, but because they have the potential to win multiple cups with their current team.
  5. Nice to see his agent has a sense of humour! Also, I wonder why he slipped down to the 7th round. In any event, he sounds like a promising prospect and it only cost the Canucks a late round draft pick.
  6. I’d like the Jets to win, but I don’t think they will. However, the West is weak and they could make it to the Stanley Cup final. I’m thinking The Devils will win it or Colorado, if they get healthy.
  7. I wonder how some Canucks choose their jersey numbers. 
     

    Take Pettersson and Hughes for example: they wear 40 and 43 respectively. Those seem like bizarre numbers.

     

    I know some numbers have been retired and whatnot, but why 40 and 43? 
     

    Those are just 2 examples. The former captain also wore an uncommon number.

     

    Thoughts?

      96 is a cool number. Could it be his birth year?

      @Citizen Erased yep, that's Kuzmenko's birthyear. Petey says he wears 40 because that's what he was given when he was with Timra and he's stuck with it. I'm not sure exactly why Hughes wears 43 but his youngest brother Luke also wears it and the middle brother, Jack, wears its double (86) so there must be some sort of significance to the family.

      Maybe Jack thinks he’s twice as good as his brothers haha! 
       

      All jokes aside, that was very enlightening. Thanks a lot!

  8. It would never happen, but I’d like to see them wear the Vancouver Voodoo jerseys.
  9. I’d like to see an aces and eights line. It would probably be the 4th line and void of offensive ability. They could be called The Dead Men’s Hands.
  10. I understand the trade deadline aspect, but not the waiver claim one. It seems silly to me.
  11. I could not disagree more. He’s shown to be a capable #5 or even 4 at times. However, those other guys are definitely cheaper. I would like to have both Schenn and Bear, if it made sense cap wise.
