  1. JB likes his meat and potatoes. Me? I'm more of a crème brûlée kind of guy.

      @Qwags so a high risk of cardiac arrest kind of guy? :shock:

  2. Banning truly screwed us one final time when he traded away Guenther for OEL and Garland and lost us 12+ m of cap space on average pieces. we’ll feel that for a while…

    1. Dazzle

      This is such a joke. This current management thought the current D corps was good enough to not make any changes, which actually validates Benning's work. The blame is no longer on Benning, but Allvin and company.

       

      Re-signing Miller is probably the worst mistake this management has made thus far though. They now have no cap space. That's not on Benning.

      Who is going to take OEL and his albatross contract...:huh: or Garland and his albatross contract...

      Package JT with OEL for a 5th round pick and gain some cap space. It’s more important today, we will be a playoff team in the next 2 years

  3. Juolevi, Lockwood, Pettersson, DiPietro, Gadjovich all potentially playing in the WJC this year. Love it!

      It'll be nice seeing some Canucks prospects at the WJC. Hopefully all of them make their respective team.

      Kole Lind should be there too

      @VanGnome He wasn't invited to the Showcase so wasn't sure but if he gets off to a hot start next season he may well be! 

  4. Who is the Canucks 3C going into the season?

    1. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      If they're crazy or crazy optimistic, Lazar.
      Probably Horvat (if Petey and Miller each center their own lines).

      smithers joe

      i want 3 balanced scoring lines. that means JT, petey and BO as the centers. not 1,2,3 but whatever line is going each game gets the most ice time. if JT is traded hoefully we get a good center back. like mcleod or sillinger or whoever.

  5. Beagle had a better faceoff % than both Toews and Bergeron last season. Just sayin B)

    1. Tortorella's Rant

      Tortorella's Rant

      Too bad he's playing for such a poor team.

    2. King Heffy

      Good pickup.  Reminds me a lot of the Malhotra signing where people were moaning about overpayment at the time.  That skillset is just so underrated here.

    3. Master 112

      Master 112

      Yeah, but even I lost fewer draws than him.

  6. The 2018-2019 Lightning remind me of 2010-2011 Canucks. Skilled, fast and unrivalled.

    1. Pears

      Pears

      They’re better imo. They don’t have a single flaw in their line up and they’ve destroyed nearly everyone they play. 

    2. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      They get 10~20% more cap space than rivals. It's bullsh*t

    3. NHL'er

      NHL'er

      @Nuxfanabroad yea fully agreed. stupid Florida. surprised it hasn't been addressed yet 

  7. Can we photoshop Jack Hughes doing [insert illegal substance here] so that teams freak out and he drops to us? :ph34r:

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      You mean like how Dan Marino dropped to the end of the first round in 1983? 

       

    2. HerrDrFunk

      HerrDrFunk

      Why stop at him? With enough Photoshop prowess, we could have Hughes and Kakko recreate the opening of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

  8. Best way to solve the HK riots? Engulf the crowds in a cloud of cannabis smoke. Tryamkin's fave.

    1. Alflives

      Alflives

      Maybe the pillow of smog that covers Hong Kong could be seeded with cannabis?  

    2. SabreFan1

      SabreFan1

      I don't blame the people in Hong Kong.  China is breaking the terms of the deal they made with the UK and HK's politicians are completely complicit in selling their autonomy away at the expense of their people.

    3. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Strangely it only takes losing a cup final to make Vancouverites riot. 

      Wonder which of our rights would have to be threatened for people to react here?

       

       

  9. Bring in Babcock and E. Kane for cheap. Let's throw some real poop at the fan. 

    1. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      I'd okay Babcock before I ever signed off on Kane 

       

      He's San Jose's headache

      Hi ALF!! How is my babe Andrea Elson doing? 

  10. Could Thatcher Demko be a dark horse Calder candidate? 

    1. goalie13

      goalie13

      Highly unlikely.  The only way is if Marky gets injured in the next game and Demko carries the team for the rest of the season and even then, it's doubtful.  Just ask Jordan Binnington.

    2. Quantum

      Quantum

      Not right now. Markstrom would need to suffer a season ending injury and Demko would probably have to take the Canucks to the playoffs in a Vezina calibre performance to be considered for it. He could get a vote or two (as a 5th place vote) but I doubt it. Though, Demko is having a terrific start to his first season.

       

      Quinn Hughes is a more likely Calder winner on this team. But right now Cale Makar is the front runner. 

  11. What’s Babcock up to these days? :ph34r:

  12. How many fantasy hockey teams do you manage? I'm in 4 and thinking of 2 more... 2 are free. 2 aren't. I'm a Diamond level player and have won $400+ thus far... am I addicted..??

    1. Master Mind

      Master Mind

      I play around a dozen leagues each year, about half free, half for money. Nothing wrong with adding a couple more if you have the time/interest.

    2. NHL'er

      Thank you for the affirmation <3 

  13. Omg I just found out Player Name is an UFA. Bring him back for the memes?

  14. Spencer Martin to the Oilers for their first? :lol::metal:

      Tell Halak it's a chance to win a Stanley Cup if he goes to Edmonton.

      I'll take even a 2nd for him. :)

      How about Borgault?

  15. Has anyone from BC ever gotten a driver's licence in California? 

    1. drummer4now

      drummer4now

      I was thinking of doing something like this in the UK and in other countries around the world. 

    2. NHL'er

      NHL'er

      @drummer4now I’ve done the BC to UK switch and that’s fairly seamless. 

  16. Would Adam Larsson be a fit with Huggy bear?

    1. ken kaniff

      ken kaniff

      Depends on the price. If he’s willing to sign for cheap and not a long term I think it would be worth it over resigning Hamonic

    2. Captain Canuck #12

      Captain Canuck #12

      I agree, he definitely would be.  He probably would have been the best fit, in terms of that much-needed RHD.  But the recent talk out of Edmonton is that they're closing in on a deal for him and likely going to let Barrie walk instead (who we wouldn't need).

  17. Bieksa is so spicy on HNIC love it.

    1. -DLC-

      -DLC-

      He's perfect.  Just what that drab, forced, boring deal needed.

    2. ImConfused

      ImConfused

      He's a spicy meat-a-ball!

       

      Juice ain't takin none a' that sass!

  18. Could we have co-Calder winners in both Makar and Hughes or would that be weird?

  20. The real reason we traded for Granlund? Clearly to help Laine or Puljujärvi adjust to life in Vancouver. :rolleyes:

    1. Green Building

      Green Building

      I don't see a problem with that, unless we draft Matthews. So basically we should trade down if we win the lottery?

    2. Odd.
  21. My god Dahlin is gifted. 

    1. NHL'er

      NHL'er

      Already a very solid #1 in Buffalo and he’s not even 20

    2. SabreFan1

      SabreFan1

      And the Sabres just won in OT!!!

  22. For comparisons sake, Hughes out scored Makar in his draft year versus Makar’s draft + 1 year. B)

    1. Alflives

      Alflives

      Makar was drafted too high for sure.  His numbers were way inflated playing in a very weak AJHL.  Hughes is a far more talented and better player.

    2. Hugor Hill

      Hugor Hill

      Hughes is almost exactly 1 year younger and produced better numbers.

  23. Loving Boeser and Juloevi together.

      The Baseball Furies for our 4th line?

  24. Please please please can we find a way to get Cal Foote in addition to our top 5 pick? Juolevi-Foote top pairing = :wub:

    1. diesel_3

      diesel_3

      I have heard nothing but amazing things about his leadership qualities, Every scouting report on him talks about his 2 way game and ability to quickly make reads in his own zone. What would that be like to have somebody without the name Tanev be able to do that for the Canucks?

    2. Roger Neilsons Towel
  25. Benning: "A couple nights ago 'spun the wheel' [used the NHL lottery simulator website] for 2 hours and it seemed like we picked once in the top 3 over 2 hours so I was kinda put off by the whole process. So the next day I did it 10 times and we picked 3 times out of 10 so that gave me more hope." :lol::lol:

      Glad to hear I'm not the only one wasting my life on this.

      I think it's rigged. First time I tried it, Boston won. Second time, Boston got the 2nd overall.
