  1. Further to speculation of Babcock, told he is meeting with the Aquilini family at the Blue Water Cafe

      I don't trust anyone in the Canucks organization to make any good decisions. 

       

      If anything, Babcock could be the new head coach of the Canucks in a few days. Personally, I don't think it'll happen, because isn't Babs still being paid by the Leafs? Why would he turn down free money to coach a team that is in distress and turmoil? 

       

      I think the more realistic approach will be that Brad Shaw will be promoted to interim head coach.

      Maybe Travis flew in for the dinner to meet with Babcock - arranged by the Aqualinis. "Please Mike, help. I don't know how to get the players to respect me. I've lost the room"

      @Chickenspear I thought he was defacto GM of the team since 2014?:P

  2. LOL same ol, people always saying looking forward to next season but its always another failure where they don't make the playoffs, and they fire another coach

      I wish the canucks had some of the Jets team toughness.

      We don't need to bulk up entirely, but yeah it would be nice to get one or two big bodies in.

       

      Big Regina does look beatable tho, and the guys took the punishment to get it done.

  4. Joel Quennville or Mike Babcock would do wonders with this young core of Canucks, what are you waiting for Francesco????

      Indeed @Dazzle, & then his lil' scandal - which inspired a reference

      LOL omg you guys act like Joel Quennville is some sort of monster who killed like hundreds of people, he kept quiet about some situation he didnt want any part of and kept quiet, this doesnt change the fact this guy wins wherever he coaches. Look, I want to win a Stanley Cup, he wins, thats all that matters, you make the bold move, or you choose not to see your team win their first Stanley Cup in your lifetime. End of story

    4. Odd.

      Odd.

      I rather not see a Stanley Cup win by us than to see us win a Cup with a coach who allowed a player of his to be sexually assaulted multiple times by his fellow colleague and keeping it under wraps at the expense of keeping the team “morale” together. 

  5. If you can't score powerplay goals, atleast kill off penalties, otherwise it doesn't matter how good you play 5 on 5 

  6. Almost everyone has the Canucks in a top 3 spot in the division, I say they possibly get 1st or 2nd, with Vegas regressing, the loss of Marc-Andre Fleury will be bigger than people think. Edmonton and Vancouver will finish ahead of Vegas

      I hate to say it but im not holding my breath that the Canucks will finish ahead of Vegas in the standings. They are the clear favourites.

      I put my money where my mouth was when BCLC was paying out 2.25 for them to make the playoffs.  The RFA extensions seem to have lowered those odds a bit.

      Totally agree with the OP.  Canucks are going to be real good.  Vegas fans will stop going to games.  Their team will become meaningless losers.  

  7. Fully expecting Burroughs to turn into a gamechanger now because of this thread, and expecting this thread to reach 700 pages as well
  8. Latest on Quinn Hughes contract, hearing 8 mill but not the term, hope it's for 7 years or so if that's the case. Last week it was a 6.95 mill deal at 5 years, sounds like price jumped bigtime and they're going back and forth, very fluid situation, also still nothing on Elias Pettersson contract

      @cripplereh Nah. Canucks_fo_life clearly states he knows nothing about the Elias Pettersson contract. If you've been following his status updates, you'd also know that he has only been posting about Hughes' side. I think there's more money to be freed by Benning, especially the obvious AHL signings. I think we have more than 10 million in space, contrary to what capfriendly says.

      Where are u hearing this?

    4. cripplereh

      cripplereh

      we have about 13.5 mill to spend at this point, but both EP and Hughes should with that be signed.I do believe the twins be apart of the canucks will make a difference with how much players get as they did take less to make sure the team could win.

  9. Hearing Quinn Hughes and Canucks close are to a 6 year contract with a 6.95 mill AAV, not finalized, nothing on Pettersson just yet

      Is Hughes waiver eligible still? I thought that his salary would be right around there so we can maximize LTIR by papering him down then putting Ferland on LTIR and then calling Quinn back up right after. I wasn't sure if I had that right though. We shall see.

  10. Word this evening that the framework for Pettersson and Hughes contracts have been agreed upon from both camps and the Canucks, still work to be completed but the hardest part is done. Announcement expected middle of next week. Source is well known around Lower Mainland, doesn't wanna be named just yet

      It's the middle of the week...

       

      Totally speculating, but it sounds like the source is Rick Dhaliwal, but I wouldn't be able to elaborate on that.

  11. LOL how is the 2016-2017 team not on here? One of the most underrated teams in professional sports
  12. Sportsnets John Shannon was on Sekeres and Price podcast today and said both Pettersson and Hughes could be 8 year deals

      Pretty crazy if Benning can pull this off.

  13. Pacific Division standings * = playoff team 1. Vegas * 2. Vancouver * 3. Edmonton * 4. Los Angeles 5. Calgary 6. Seattle 7. San Jose 8. Anaheim Canucks may have the deepest forward group in this division, a defence that will surprise, along with the 1/2 punch of Demko and Halak. The LA Kings will surprise and compete for a spot. I think 5 teams will get into the playoffs from the Central division.
  14. Las Vegas* Vancouver* Edmonton* Los Angeles Calgary Seattle San Jose Anaheim
