  1. I am satisfied with this pick. Olli Juolevi was probably one of the best if not the best defense men available in this draft. With Columbus snatching PLD I guess it made sense to get Juolevi. A great dman should play big dividends. I just hope they don't rush him in, let him develop properly.
  2. Hopefully he develops into the player we expect him to be. I know he only played his first year but a year in all should help him develop. Let's hope Benning doesn't pull a Seguin with Jake.
  3. Once again, before the start of NEXT season.
  4. Who said anything about firing players? You can try to trade players before the start of next season.
  5. I was referring to changes that need to done now as in before the start of next season.
  6. Trevor has always been my favourite canuck of all time, respect him all the way, but I am concerned. We all know this core is pretty much done as since lucking out to he cup finals in 2011 (I mean almost losing in round 1 to blackhawks) they have shown NOTHING in the post season the years after. Can someone please point out any player from the core that played with heart and soul wanting to win games in playoffs? With that being said Trevor has a relationship with most of these players and we all know that change is needed. Kesler needs to be traded now otherwise his value will continue to drop. Sedins won't be going anywhere as they won't waive their NTC and even if they did we probably wouldn't get good return and would have to eat some of their salary. If the new GM comes up with offers to trade some of the core players trevor played with will trevor allow it? It also seems that ower ownership group is only worried about making the playoffs and not willing to have some bad years to get some good young players to make a new core. If this is the case I can honestly say this team will never win a cup. I am not surprised torts got fired, but does anyone think there will be anything improved with the new coach? Thats if it is the players that have quit.
  7. How much will a RH shot 27 yr old FA dman with 46 points get offered with a bigger cap this summer? I have a feeling it will be a much larger amount than Garrison's 4.6 Million.... maybe starting at 5.5 mill per....
  8. I completely agree with this. With a first round pick (especially 6th overall) they should look at getting a player who is most likely has a chance to be a 1st line player or top 4 dman. This is should be the case even if it means taking a risk.
  9. Is the same scouting staff the provided us great picks from the 2007 draft? How many of them played an NHL game? Why Ron Derlome is still with the canucks is puzzling. Scott Melanby would have made a great scout for us.
  10. Just to confirm what is the tiebreaker Carolina has over us in the standing?
  11. when will markstrom finally start a game? or is torts just going to run lack down for the last few games?
  12. Why can't we just keep tanking for the rest of the season and get a top 5 pick so we can finally get a Number 1 dman prospect.... If we win some games down the stretch to have a slim shot at the playoffs (which if we make it we will get rolled out in the 1st round) is useless. Every win we get now makes me cringe as we will end up with a lesser chance to get a quality prospect with a high pick this draft. I cannot remember the last time we had a player actually make the team as a 18, 19 year old..... This need desperately needs quality youth! Why blow it by winning meaning less games for a meaningless season????
  13. congrats for crosby towes and weber. has anyone seen the team canada player name number t shirts on sale anywhere yet? i looked at the hockey canada website and see they player numbers appear to be set now.
  14. My apologies if this has already been posted. Does anyone know when the 2014 Men's Hockey Team Roster supposed to be announced?
