  1. Marner, Nylander, Kapanen < Phil Kessel. Literally. Kessel's fat enough to weigh more than them all combined.

      I'd take "fatty" on this team in a heart beat. Unless you got single digit bf % or the other dude has giant man tits/obese, ya shouldn't be calling anyone else fat.

      Kessel is an Obeast. His chin is bigger than my face. When Pittsburgh traded for him, every other GM in the league laughed out loud.

      Kessel can out eat the three of those kids in any all you can eat buffet challenge. Phil is hungry that way.

  2. If Burrows is openly talking about Kassian's status to the media post-trade, isn't that a no-no? Just wondering.

      Burrows should be next on the block. Now that we have Prust (so stupid) Burrows the ref baiter must go.

      Well the last guy to make innapropriate comments to the media was traded (Bieksa calling out Ferland and the canucks having no answer to him)

      PhilipBlunt I thought you were done with this team? Stop posting pls

  3. Green to Detroit.

  4. Looks like Gross-Misconduct knew what he was talking about when he said he won't be posting about Kassian anymore.

  5. Me trade Kes. Me trade Juice. Me trade Eddie. Me good.

      Me get Bonino, Sbisa, McCann. Me get 2nd. Me get 3rd. Me good

  6. That's hardly a qualifier. Cody Hodgson was dominant in the WJC's and he wasn't a keeper. I think that there's a pretty good chance that we'll buck the trend with this pick and he'll become a good NHLer. This is based on absolutely nothing. Sometimes you just have to act on blind faith and the belief that the GM knows what he's doing. He and his scouts are not some teenagers looking at a few youtube videos.
  7. The Canucks should pick up Arcobello. 16pts in 27gp in Arizona. Projects to 49pts over full season, more than Nick Bonino!

    2. Baer.

      Baer.

      That would actually make sense. If Richardson is walking, he's a good 4th liner.

    3. Baer.

      Gaunce was moved to LW. Our only center in the minors worth a call up is Friesen.

      OReilly

      Friesen

      Acton

      Top 3 centers.

      Arcobello is okay as a 2nd line C on a mediocre team. But we have Bonino to fill that role and he's better than Arcobello despite Arcobello's small sample size.

  8. That's a good question. Perhaps Snypers meant for us to sign him as a free agent later on.
  9. Since Rasmus Andersson was ranked 92nd or whatever, it looks like Calgary made a mistake when they picked him up so early. It might be a bigger mistake than when they traded Sven Bearcheese to us in the first place, as he is a talented 1st rounder with a wealth of skill and scoring ability. Clearly, Jim Benning knows what he's doing and we should all trust his judgement, whether it be drafting character guy Jake Virtanen over franchise potential scorers Nik Ehlers and William Nylander, or trading Lack instead of Ryan Miller. He is the GM and he knows more than any of the teenaged armchair draft experts that populate these boards. Or at least he should.
  10. Loik went undrafted? Well, we better pick him up then, because Snypers had some serious boner about him in my blog page from earlier this year. Sure, Snypers may see fantastical upside in all players playing the sport, but I have a feeling that Loik would be nice to have as a free acquisition, whether or not he can skate backwards.
  11. I think we'd prefer NBC hockey coverage to all Canadian hockey coverage. That is all.
  12. This player is a keeper, sure this team and others have had trouble with transitioning long-shot, low upside QD in the past, but Benning knows what he's doing, and I am 100% sure the Canucks will buck the trend, based on absolutely nothing.
  13. Free agent frenzy is one day that is universally looked forward to by NHL hockey fans, and it is no exception here. Expect the Canucks to make a splash as this it often an entertaining day for the paying fans.

      There is deadline week as well. And if not by then, the Canucks may have cap space to use next off-season as Bieksa and possibly Hamhuis leave as UFA's. Any option is a good one for the franchise.

      Trades will be made a couple of days after July 1st.... When the free agent market drys up

    4. BanTSN

      There is always an upcoming period of trades. This adds to the experiences that the paying fans are getting.

  14. Don't worry about the franchise. They'll be just fine.

      Tech any move any team makes is a business move. And parallel to live not every business move will land you at the top. The one thing the fans have on their side is they aren't making the moves so they aren't the reason a team succeeds or fails.

      Then again the business only exists because of the fans so they have a right to express how they feel about a product. Not predicting the future but I don't think the fans should embrace being paying drones and just accept whate...

      The Canucks have provided us with top-notch quality sports and entertainment experiences for decades now. Maybe we're spoiled and don't see it for what it is as paying fans, but we have been given a great deal of sports entertainment here for our money.

  15. Good thing we have the Comets.
  16. I blame Weisbrod.

    1. BanTSN

      BanTSN

      Actually, no. I blame Snypers. His letter to Linden killed this team!

  17. I for one am blown away that the Canucks picked up a long-shot QD. Totally blown away.
  18. Woke up to more failure. Going to go back to sleep... until 2016 draft.

    1. Brad Marchand

      Brad Marchand

      Safe to say no one will be disappointed with that.

      Also, Tom Sestito's leaving until October unless a vet gets traded, so feel free to join.

      Who is going to enjoy your status updates though Brad? Aw you changed my mind. I'll stick around. I love you.

      Everyone wins, I guess.

  19. I can't believe people still think that Schroeder and Jensen were BPA. Still?!? This fanbase has almost no hope.
  20. And the Canucks continue to fail.
  21. We pass on team need, it's because the BPA was there. We pass on BPA too, it's because character. We see guy bust, we claim hindsight. At this rate 'we' will become 'they' for a lot of people here in short order.
  22. I loved how the tv analysts were on and on about freakin' Harkins like it was a real shame to pass on that guy and pick Boeser instead. wtf? Do these guys purposely misrepresent prospect potential? The answer is an astounding YES! BAN SPORTSNET TOO!
  23. We should have drafted Nylander instead of Boeser!!! Hockey people were shaking their heads at the Leafs today too. If that's any comfort for Canucks fans.
  24. Here's hoping day 2 of the draft is A LOT better for us. There is still hope?

    1. Tom Sestito
