Cold hard facts. Could you imagine the difference in this franchise if we kept the most popular canuck of all time, who wanted to rebuild properly, instead of letting this franchise putter along with no President and direction for all those years. It's a damn shame things have got as bad as they have. This is 100% on Aqua. For someone who runs such a huge business it's wild he has so little of a clue. Best case scenario is this guy sells, the fans deserve better then this.

[Report] Jamie Oleksiak suspended 3 games
MeanSeanBean replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Dude was leaning pretty forward and poking at the puck. I dunno about this at all personally. Guy wasn't protecting himself at all. -
There is no accountability, at all. Miller can make no look passes that get turned over followed by a lazy backcheck, OEL can look completely disengaged and Stillman can look mediocre night in and night out with zero consequences. But Burroughs has a bad shift and he's benched, Hoglander makes one mistake and he's demoted immediately to the 4th line. The double standard being set this year is pretty evident, and it must be incredibly difficult as a young player on this team right now. This isn't the way you develop a young core, how do you set a standard of play when it's not even clear the coach or management know what that standard is?

Yeah this was discussed quite a bit last year and into the summer. No idea why this is worthy of its own thread. -
[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn

If you get a 2nd rounder you click your heels and and give him a call in the summer. -
[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn
MeanSeanBean replied to Warhippy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
To me Canucks gotta make hay while the sun shines. Schenn holds value to this team, yes. But he his value has increased substantially over the course of this contract. Does selling high on Schenn hold more value then holding on to him as his value decreases. I would think yes? Best case scenario is a trade and sign in the summer. It's rare, but it's the best of both worlds of Schenn really wants to be here for a reasonable cost. -
[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn

Depends, is Luke signing a 2 year deal at 1-1.5 ish, heck yeah sign him. Is he looking for a deal like 3 million, which realistically he could get with his play over the last few years, then no. Love Schenn, in my opinions he's the only other guy besides Petey I could see wearing the C onces Bo's gone, but we aren't in the position to be sentimental. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
MeanSeanBean replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Honestly, if a team is willing to pay No because they seem him as a young RoR, you gotta make that trade. Bo's a hell of a player, and I desperately wish we signed him instead of JT, but we can't over extend on him with the money we already have commited. The bottom line is, he's not RoR. In him from RoR was one of the best 2 way forwards in the league, and an absolute force. Horvat is average offensively, and doesn't frequently break a game wide open. Yes, he's been unreal this year, not taking anything away from him. But I do not expect him to ever have another year like this one, this is his peak. He'll be a good player for years to come, but not one of the top forwards in the league like he is now. Gotta make tough decisions if we want to move forward... -

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks

If Byram is offered straight up I take that. Hell, I even add Rathbone if it gets the job done. That being said, no chance Byram is being traded. -
[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn
MeanSeanBean replied to Warhippy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This is best case scenario. But the more I think of it, the more I realize that we have to trade Schenn. How many times has this team held onto assets until their value tanked? Trading Schenn now is the definition of selling high. This organization needs that value. -
[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn

I disagree with this. This team has operated in a pick deficit over the Benning years. We now see the results of this with nearly no prospects in our system with NHL upside. Not only are draft picks shots at NHL players, when they are in conjunction with cap space to add good players to your team. An example just off the top of my head would be Toews a few years ago. He was traded for 2nds. He would instantly be out 2nd best defensemen, and was had at a discounted price because Colorado had the currency. If Schenn returns a 2nd, it's possible we are able to turn that into something this team needs. If anything, I'd actually argue draft picks are underrated. This fanbase should have been far more upset then we were for working with so few picks the last decade. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
MeanSeanBean replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Good? Us competing for a lottery spot this year would have been best case scenario. Top 6 or picks this year have the chance.to change a franchise. This team is actively terrible without making those moves, and Petey is one of the few guys outside Schenn that gives a hoot game in and game out. You don't think he would be ok with being given the C and told we are going to attempt to build a cup contending team around him? No no, it's much better we signed Miller to a retirement deal and tanked his value while remaining capped out... -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
MeanSeanBean replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Imagine if that rumored trade with Miller went down last year, and Horvat this year. Out Horvat and Miller In Newhook, Lundkvist, Chytil, 2 first round picks, another prospect, tons of cap space. That would have been a huge buff to the start of our way back to the top.
