The look on McCann's face when Vancouver called his name was all anyone needed to see to realize he wasn't going to be a Canuck for long

@Bell more like Bart's mom said Jared McCann was a locker room cancer because he was a 19/20 year old acting like.....a 19/20 year old.

@kanucks25 As @Bissurnette has stated, this very thread is an example of this.

People gave you legitimate reasoning as why you shouldn't assume this would be the case had he been here and your response was "copium" followed by claiming you're always right. You didn't provide any insight as to why others are wrong.

Now, of course, I don't expect you to listen to any of this because you're "always right" in your mind. Can't be wrong if you ignore what everyone else says.

I'm also done in responding here. I've said my piece and you can take it or leave it. Otherwise, unless if you're willing to set your massive ego aside, it's just not worth my time.

New president, same dim Jim 

Didn't you hear? We've had the same GM forever. Just jumps from body to body when the old body gets fired...

Same owner 

I thought they traded him cuz it was leaked that he was some sort of "lone star" egoistical diva who was unpopular?  The fact that they traded him for the pylon that is Gudbranson aside, it took him until his third team (Pittsburgh) to really start scoring (2020: 0.75 points/ game), then with this Kraken selection he really broke out (50 points last season, 35 this season already).  You never really know for players with ego (read: Virtanen, Jake; some players just never mature, even if people are patient with them).   

Benning lives rent free in kanucks25's head. Just the other day, I saw him posting about wanting Gillis back.

@phil_314 When trades are made that may be unpopular, it's not uncommon for teams to leak "information" to the media that may make them look better. Maybe McCann did have an attitude problem, but he was also 19 and rushed into the NHL which is on management. Him not "working out" here says less about him and more about our piss poor development for which there is a lot of evidence.

No thank you.

@shiznak Slight over exaggeration

Need Nancy Kerrigan to ask our owner:

Sold our future for a shot at a championship but our run gradually turned into a stumble as it went on thanks to injuries 

Doesn't help with Yeo ripping up the pages in the book. 

Showcasing Miller, Horvat, Lazar, and Boeser for a trade duh

with Hughes out, we likely won't blow very many leads anymore.

soooo season opener at @bigbadcanucks back yard?

If your in the Tri-Cities JohnB pub has the best burgers for my likening.  

@shiznak Bin 4's opening one on Boundary, also one in Brentwood as well (from what I've heard).

CANUCKS. COM

A great place to hate the LOSER LEAFS.  And make fun of the HORRIBLE HABS.  And to laugh at the CRUSTED COWPIES.  

NWO

Quail's Gate Winery is a premier dining experience. I haven't eaten at Mission Hill but apparently that is good as well.

@JM_ that's Victoria lmao

ah crap, what the hell was I thinking? I'm going next week 

sorry @kanucks25

Well 42 I'm glad we didn't sign him, so far he's been lucky on the injury front but as he ages he's going to slow right down and not be worth anything close to what he's being paid so F that! 

I'm glad he wasn't resigned here and we're trying to get younger. Same with Edler, and even Markstrom is on the wrong side of 30 and they all wanted term and that would have been a HUGE mistake.

I'm with JB on this one, perfect call. 

Icy you missed the whole point.  JB made an offer he wanted him he just misread it.  He said afterward that losing Tanev really hurt us.

Your version is a fantasy partner.

Well JB was and had always been about T's leadership but now we have JT and OEL who have been in the league awhile but don't have an injury list 2 friggin miles long like Tan and Eddie

A thread that will

fix him real good?

We just want him real good again

Canucks have been .500 without him out of the lineup, which is a better than this or last years record and about the same % since he has been a Canuck, (currently not great bang for the buck), but no need for a thread- Nothing wrong with people missing and concern for the fire, passion and magic lacking that EP gave us before, this hasn't been just a 10 game drought of missing that- If one could still see that still without the scoring, it wouldn't be much  to be concerned about

No

nah lets endlessly tank on purpose or otherwise, and get disappointed when Bettmans balls don't drop to our advantage. 

Coconuts go 

Fair enough.  Dahlen also stunk in San Jose’s farm initially before heading back to Europe to rediscover his game.  

Neither McCann, Dahlen or Forsling would be useful on today's team.  But they could have gotten more in trade value if we had developed them properly.

You nailed it.

Nice win tonight.  

Be sure to thank the coach, along with the man that built this team.  :-)

#ButBenning

New coach but it's still Benning's team.  :-)

You and your boys at HF aren't hoping for a Benning constructed team to succeed are you?

Isn't this going to piss off your leader MS?

I'm honestly just glad that the whole fanbase can have a reset because the whole Benning discourse has been toxic for a very long time.

Agreed. Hopefully we can all be on the same page once again, at least until the next GM makes his first move. 

The Canucks could win a Stanley Cup and fans would disagree on what the parade route should be.

No, I think people just wanted to havre a good conversation, not a victory lap.

"Good Conversation"
"go back to HF hater troll"

but come on, you do like to mix it up too so can't really play that card. 

It'll be played in its entirety during the next home game.

It's not always easy making great albums; plus, no matter what you do as an artist, there will always be someone who doesn't like what you're doing. For example, Metallica changed: people complained. AC/DC didn't change: people complained. lol

Wonder what Judd Bracket and Thomas Drance think of Adele's new album.  

"You don’t deserve to follow the Canucks as far as I’m concerned."

Well then it's a good thing your opinion on this matter, matters not

Florida won't go down that easily though... especially at home

You are on record as saying that "Seattle would have a more impressive first season than Vegas did" and so you'd better hope that Seattle passes the Nucks in the standings.  

@Patel Buresource?

right man, right.

COVID and the tough North Divison- both were excuses, of course.

Now we know that the problems are much more fundamental.

Thanks for bringing this up.

but but but the GM said this and he would never lie unlike the evil DRANZZZZ and DOLLY WALL !!!

No one ever once said that the North Division was "tough."   Once again, you are making $&!# up because that's what your leaders MS and Y2K at HF Canucks have instructed you to do.  

As far as this year goes, the Canucks would have been a middle of the road team had Pettersson and Boeser not completely fallen off a cliff.  So - if you or your "clan" at HF accurately predicted that Petey and Boeser would completely tank this season, then kudos.  From what I can tell though, "your people" predicted the following:

1) OEL would be a train-wreck.

2) The OEL-Myers pairing would get hemmed.

3) Dickinson would be an upgrade over Sutter, Beagle, and Gaudette as Dickinson had pretty good defensive metrics in a number of defensive categories from an analytics perspective (this was touted as one of the "few good moves" that Benning had made throughout his tenure)

4) The Canucks would struggle mightily 5 on 5.

5) Our team would be overly reliant on its Powerplay

6) Our PK would suck.

So congrats - "your people" got #6 right, and #4 to a minor extent.  

Not one of you guys however mentioned anything about Pettersson or Boeser.  

"Your people" are standing there in pretention claiming that "we told you that this would happen," but the Canucks are failing due to completely different reasons.   I have no idea what happened in the lorckerroom in 2020-2021, or what went on behind the scenes in the 2020 off-season, but something must have definitely happened.  

Other than letting Toffoli walk and being overly loyal to Travis Green, I can't see a single mistake that Benning made post 2020 bubble playoffs.  Nate Schmidt for a 3rd should have been a steal.  Hamonic, on paper, wasn't that much of a downgrade from Tanev.....only difference being that Hamonic came with much better term and money.  Holtby (a 1A goalie) was required in order to help insulate Demko into his new role as a #1.  

Even this year, guys like Garland, Hamonic, and Demko shouldn't be that much of a downgrade from Toffoli, Tanev, and Markstrom.......except with the former three, we have much more favourable term and money.  

Demko faces a lot of high danger chances, but not to the extent that Markstrom was facing in 19-20.    

But hey - if you guys predicted that Pettersson, Boeser, and Dickinson would be complete non-entities this season, then more power to you.

I don't think anyone asked for Green to return with the unqualified morons he chooses for assistants.

Bruh, this is a status update, not a diary.

Hope this helps.

Your hope has not fallen on deaf ears my friend.  It certainly does help.  @AV.

But but but POOLMAN!  SHAW!  TRUST JIM!!!11!!

We don't live in a world of absolutes. You can support your team. But not like what's happening. 

If your family member leaves a good paying job, to be with someone he/she loves. Do you shun that family member, or do you tell them you have concerns, but they will always be family?

you need to be more specific
