      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.

      fanfor42

      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

      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.

      @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.

      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).

      kanucks25

      @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.

       

  12. The amount of brain cells I've lost over the years arguing with people who defend this management team. Mind-boggling.

      Patel’s autopsy of the Benning and Green regime.


      For me, it was that 2020 off-season that ultimately killed us since it must have confused our players.  
       

      After signing Myers and Ferland, along with trading a 1st+ to bring in JT Miller, and using Madden+ for trade for Tyler Toffoli, the Canucks finally made the playoffs via the play-ins, took out the defending champs, and came within a game of making the 3rd round.........and then we unceremoniously, let all four of Markstrom, Tanev, Toffoli, and Stecher walk while keeping the lazy and troubled Virtanen on the team.  
       

      For me - it was this off season and this off season alone that turned our biggest team strength (team chemistry) into one of our biggest weaknesses.  
       

      The Arizona deal needed to happen in 2020 which would have allowed us to move massive cap space in order to sign those aforementioned 4 players.  Yes, we would have had to lose Demko and Podkolzin in the process, but all of our bad contracts would have been moved while allowing us to simultaneously sign those 4 players.

       

      To Arizona:  Podkolzin + Demko + Player Name + Sutter + Baertschi + Roussel + Virtanen + Gaudette for OEL, Garland, Kuemper.

       

      Miller-Pettersson-Toffoli

      Hoglander-Horvat-Boeser

      Pearson-####-Garland

      Motte-Beagle-MacEwen

       

      OEL-Myers

      Hughes-Tanev

      Edler-Stecher

       

      Markstrom

      Kuemper

       

      Given the Covid situation in 2020, many players were signing “poo poo” one year heavily discounted contracts with the expectation that they’d sign more normalized contracts a year later.  In other words, the Canucks would have likely been able to sign a really good player for pennies on the dollar and either duplicate or build upon their 2020 bubble playoffs.

       

      Instead, I believe that the 2020 off season confused our core players of Myers, Miller, Horvat, Pettersson, Hughes, and Boeser.  
       

      On top of all this, it looks like Green’s system all along simply wasn’t conducive to maximizing players’ strengths.  Schmidt came here and stunk, Virtanen is now doing extremely well in the KHL, while OEL can’t produce points with us.  Gudbranson seems to have rediscovered his game while Chris Tanev doesn’t seem to be injury prone anymore largely due to Calgary’s superior puck possession game.  Green’s shocking lack of creativity and innovative systems has also sunk this team.

       

      Given the way that Benning had tried to rebuild this team since the 2015 playoff loss, it was absolutely imperative that Benning ran with that Markstrom, Tanev, and Stecher  contingent because those were the guys that went through the battles with our core and those were the guys that held the fart down while we transitioned.  
       

      Given the way that Benning chose to rebuild this team, losing both Demko and Podkolzin so that we could clear bad contracts AND hold onto those aforementioned four players was absolutely imperative.  Benning needed to pull the trigger on the OEL/Garland deal in 2020 much faster........but didn’t since Benning completely lost the context.  Benning may have made the right moves on paper, but he sold out his core in the process.

  13. Really hope they don't take Hodgson off the second line, because he'll quickly lose his spot if they put him in the bottom-6. Higgins has been great but he can play well on the 3rd line. Hodgson + Higgins >>>>>> Higgins + Ebbett.

      Hodgson's been known as a two-way centre his whole career where is this purely offensive player thing coming from?...it'll make him a more complete player to be with such hard-working guys like Malhotra and Hansen. He'll still get PP time and can earn a spot on the 2nd line if he wants. We're contenders, not developers.

      A gritty forward along with a 4th line center might be good at the deadline. Besides that sadly the Canucks are hamstrung by the cap to make a major move.

  25. After the Canucks sign Hansen, a 13th forward and an 8th defenseman, they'll have just 1 million left in space. I hope there is a trade looming. :P
