[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn
DeNiro replied to Warhippy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Need to get younger and more mobile. Schenn can’t handle the minutes we’re feeding him anymore. Plus the dude wants another crack at the cup I’m sure. Can’t let him walk for nothing. -
Joni Jurmo? He’s our best prospect in the system, he should make the team
DeNiro replied to Odd.'s topic in Canucks Talk
His responsibility in Vancouver was the D. Sure it wasn’t a great D core to begin with but it was a disaster under him. Much much worse than under Shaw. -
Naslund used to snipe from that angle all the time. Sick shot!

Seems like a pretty good trade for both sides. Foote isn’t killing penalties for them. Schenn plays top minutes on our pk (even if it’s a record worst ) Foote plays around 14 minutes a night for them. Schenn plays around 17 for us. Surely he can fill the role Foote does there with less minutes. -
Dowling out now? Man they really need Raty!

And astonishingly Cull was a disaster in Vancouver too. Who woulda thought? The Canucks need to stop promoting coaches from the farm that have no experience just because they feel they’ve “earned it”. Its lucky we didn’t have any high end prospects for him to ruin. Seems like Colliton has everyone developing the way they should now. -

You think they really care? This management has already shown that they show no respect for the people they work with. I’ve honestly never seen this level of callousness from a NHL front office before. And they’re only a year in… -
[Rumour] Canucks getting calls on Thatcher Demko

Lol. Yep “insiders” like Rick can’t help but tweet every thought and bit of baseless speculation that pops in their head. The sad thing is is that the players do end up wanting out. Not because they don’t like the team or the market, they just get sick of dealing with BS from the media circus. Any professional athlete will tell you they just wanna focus on playing. It’s so draining to be distracted by all this noise all the time. -
He’s not. I believe they said he would be joining them Friday or Saturday in San Jose but it was unclear what game he would play if any.

The rumoured package is completely made up, but the interest from New Jersey has been reported by credible people quite a bit. On a side note I wonder if we can get the other Foote brother Nolan from them as a throw in if we did make a trade. Not a high profile player but it would be nice to start rebuilding our bottom 6.

I’ve seen people say this and I don’t agree. The trade should be to get the best possible return. If that means retention you do it. The most important thing right now is restocking the prospect pool with as much talent as possible. Why would we be worried about the cap in the next two years anyways? We should not be a cap team over the next two years. We should ride out contracts and wait till we have lots of cap space and young talent. That’s the best place to be.

I hope they don’t get too hung up on drafting a D man if we have the 13 or later pick unless they’re the clear BPA. This team still needs to beef up its center depth. Losing Bo left a massive hole there and there are no guarantees Raty will pan out. But also if a really good winger drops take ‘em! We need more talent everywhere in the system. That being said I really hope we can somehow get another late first and draft Dragicevic. I think we’d be kicking ourselves if we passed on another local kid that brings everything we need.

I just keep hoping that management is smarter than they sound and this is all part of a plan. Maybe they’re forcing a rebuild and telling ownership it will only be short term. The only way is to just rip the band aid off. -
(Rumour) 4 teams interested in J.T. Miller
DeNiro replied to combover's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
They’re gonna be forced into a rebuild whether they like it or not through their incompetence and poor treatment of people. Never seen a management group bumble their way through their first year on the job so badly. It went from a 2 year rebuild is more than enough time to be good again, to now trading your captain and starting goalie. Won’t be long till we hear more names of players wanting out.
