  1. mk well then let's wait til he wins that Cup. Or at least ices a good team, it would be a start.
  2. I am having a hard time understanding why a GM that has led the team to more bottom-5 finishes than playoff rounds would be considered "the best GM we have ever had"? Like I know our franchise doesn't have the most storied history but jeez...
  3. Not that it was directly suggested otherwise, but it's possible for one to understand the human element of the game and still think the Benning firing is justifiable simply due to asset management, or lack thereof.
  4. Flat cap was known about back in April of last year, before our "playoff run". Lots of time and information to make the correct decisions. But, as Benning put it himself, he "ran out of time".
  5. Like hiring Torts for 1 year? e/ against the wishes of his GM that gave him the most successful team in franchise history, only to fire both a year later. v knowledge, v
  6. In sports, and especially in a hard cap league, these two concepts go hand-in-hand.
  7. Honestly not sure what you're going on about. We can agree to disagree on if the riot was a reflection on actual Canucks fans.
  8. Fans calling fans of other teams silly names is pretty standard, it doesn't mean anything. It's not tangible evidence of other hockey fan bases looking down on Canucks fans in particular.
  9. And we say the same stuff about every other fan base. And every other fan base says it about any other rival fan base in every sport. Welcome to sports.
  10. Who does? Pretty much only our own idiot fan base.
  11. Pretty decent summary until the last sentence. Gillis retained his coach (something that is rare for a new GM across all sports when his predecessor is fired for lack of results) and only hired one during his entire tenure which was a decision allegedly forced upon him by ownership.
  12. Hilarious post coming from a guy that called Gillis "an abject failure" sometime last week. So only the people who don't like our GM that has mostly headed us to bottom-feeder finishes are "pushing an agenda". This post is definitely 100% unbiased. Gotcha.
  13. I get the sense that a lot of people on this board have little idea of the fandom in other sports and cities considering how often the bleeding hearts complain about the "toxicity" of this market. Perhaps they don't follow sport outside the Canucks.
  14. "Location: Lord Benning Cathedral" I'll be sure to be careful.
  15. If they were valuable you wouldn't be so quick to throw them at Seattle, and instead be trying to find a way to protect them. Seattle watches the games and looks at the stats, too. As for Holtby, doubt many teams out there are jumping at the chance to pay a goalie 4.3M coming off back-to-back below .900 seasons regardless of experience level.
  16. Not sure if you're misunderstanding or what but no team is taking on a multi-million dollar cap-dump for a mid-round pick. Again, you'd have to offer a lot more to account for the cap dump plus the lost value for Seattle from them taking a player they don't want instead of one they do. The idea is fine, your numbers are just off.
  17. Not having enough good players to protect is not a good problem to have. We did last time.
  18. And how about the guy who hired Green? And the guy before Green?
  19. Doesn't make any sense. For example, a 5th isn't enough for the 2.55M Virtanen cap dump let alone the missing value for the player Vegas would select instead.
  20. Would be something interesting to watch for if he gets in, at least.
  21. Both possible and legal in the literal sense of the terms I assume, but the league wouldn't allow it. We should, however, be targeting a D-man that another team can't protect to keep on our own roster.
  22. TBF I'm pretty sure OP thought she was directly writing to the Canucks on some special platform where they'll actually see her post.
