When I see how they lost their last playoff series this past season, adding a guy like Reaves ain't going to help solve their problems.
-
He even apologized publically for putting a player into a position where he'd have to fight (re: Flamers game where they sent out essentially 5 goons/fighters on the ice). Torts felt he had no choice but to send out five big guys out there. I forgot the Canuck players name but apparently that guy had his parents/friends there at the game watching & Torts felt embarrassed by having to take that action (don't think that Canucks player was a fighter but was 'big').

I'll be shocked if that's how the blueline will be at opening night. You have to think management has a plan (else why buy out OEL?).

Linden wasn't the wrong choice in itself. Issue was having SO MANY inexperienced management in their hired roles. JB had experience in management but none as a GM. Willie had experience as a head coach but NONE as a head coach at the NHL level. When John freaking Weisbrod is the main guy as having experience as a GM had of a major league sports team, it's asking for trouble.

Nonis hired a soon to be Jack Adams trophy winner for our head coach. He was the GM that drafted Edler He was the GM that signed FA Willie Mitchell Was "only" on the job as GM for 4 years (one of which was a lockout I think) I'll take that level of incompetance over 7+ years of 'going around in circles' with the likes of Willie D & Travis Green. Make no mistake, Nonis had his faults but he was far from the worst GM this team has ever had imho.

Getting Edler because Gradin overheard the Detroit scouts talking about him is like going thru the garbage bin for discarded scratch tickets & finding a $10,000 winner. It's still a great hit no matter how Gradin did it.

[Rumour] Nikita Tryamkin eyeing NHL return
NewbieCanuckFan replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think he might be soon training in a T-55 tank. Ain't no 'air-con' in that vintage 1950s thing & might be a tight squeeze for him given his size. -
It was like Mike Gillis never left.

They inherited a great farm system so they had a head start until Jim Benning.
-
Jim Benning wasn't given enough time to get those.

I like Garland as well. He plays bigger than his size (vs creampuffs that play smaller than they actually are).
-
The one constant throughout various GM's in Canucks history. Having this person be in charge of the medical staff:

11th overall pick in the 2023 Entry Draft

Ron Delorme was against selecting OJ. Jim Benning should've listened to him again. -
No chance Travis Green or Willie D will be his coach so that's a plus.
