Wrong, should've traded a couple of 1st rounders for Miller

Now we know who to hire when the next generational talent comes along

That may be true, but he's a 23 years old prospect, not a 20 years old, who apparently doesn't want to report to AHL. He's also RFA and who knows what he's looking for in terms of commitment. Let's not forget that the KHL is appealing for players of his age struggling to make it in the NHL. He will make more money over there. So, I'm all up for being patient and all, but the players needs understand he's not ready for the NHL, and will have to earn his playing time and money down in the AHL. Which I'm not sure he'll be able to accept that from what I'm reading about him so far.

Isn't that what we said about Demko and Martin last year? I mean, I'm glad Silovs is doing well and he's younger than Martin was, but I think we are getting a little of ourselves with him. Right now, the Canucks have no pressure, they are expected to lose and it's actually motivating to try and prove everybody wrong. But I honestly don't think Silovs will be with the Canucks next year, he will play, but won't be the backup after training camp. Canucks will most likely signs a veteran and lets Silovs get another full year in the AHL with a few stints here and there. Any goalies (i.e. Hamburglar), young or old, can have super crazy hot streak, what differences the best from the rest is the consistency and that we cannot evaluate that from Silovs yet. I've seen posts here where Silovs is now our #1 prospect apparently, based on a good 1/2 AHL season and 4 games with the Canucks. That is crazy non-sense.

We made a trade and didn't give up a pick, that's a win in my book.

Done? Did they even show up for work?

Is Greenway the "player" Canucks didn't want in another trade? Does this paves the way for Boeser to minny now?

Could be an interesting pickup for Buffalo. He should get a shot a getting back on track.

If we kidnap @-Vintage Canuck- for 3 hrs, does that automatically extend the deadline?

Fine, he can take the plane tomorrow

“JT Miller talk is still out there” So Bob has been reading CDC I see

Wait, are we still in 2015? Is Sutter coming back? What is going on

Exactly, whatever the Canucks are doing is not better/worst than the Wings Stacking Picks doesn’t guarantee a successful rebuild, Oilers (beside an Jesus), Sabres, Arizona have proven that

you're a premature thinger I see

Not going to happens, but that would be awesome to piss off the Flames that way

Yakupov? Dal Colle? Puljujarvi? Virtanen (take 2)?, Juolevi (take 2)? Honestly, this smell like Zadina or Kotkaniemi,

By now, you mean since last summer?

hmm, didn't know he was still playing

Obviously, if you're rebuilding "the right way", eventually you should start not missing the playoffs? Still waiting, that was my point.

Back to my original point, how many times did we see this with Arizona, Oilers, Columbus and Sabres? Oilers pulled out of the bottom for one reason only, they got lucky and got a McJesus.

and yet still no results to show for in the standings and won't be better next year with the players they traded away

So our approach doesn't seems to work better or worst than theirs.

That's what everyone said about the Oilers and Sabres. One was saved by THE player of this generation and the other has the longest NHL playoffs drought. Not to mention Arizona. Not saying what the Canucks are doing is the way to go, but tanking and getting a lot of draft picks does not guarantee success. IMO not missing with your 1st and prospect development is better than having tons of picks IMO. Its not like the Canucks are acquiring aging vets like we did not long ago.

And the Red Wings have missed how many times the playoffs lately? Oh yeah, 6 going on 7. I guess that's how it's done...
