  1. Why tweak a 3rd jersey like the iconic skate...If they are making changes to the skate I would hope it would be to release it as the NEW FT jersey...but I am always disappointed in Canucks jeresey choices so probably going to be yet again, this time they decided to butcher the iconic Canucks logo sadly! Hopefully, the Adidas version will look better than the fanatics does that has been leaked. Looks too shiny and reminds me of a soccer jersey...
  2. if a team offers a 2023 1st round pick ya got to take it. Or a RHD prospect like Scott Morrow (Car) or Iorio (Was) to name a couple. Imagine the Canucks having 3 1st round picks in 2023... Canucks top 10 selection 1st from Horvat trade 1st from Kuz trade maybe due to low cap hit? Come the draft you strongly go after acquiring the 1st overall pick if you can in my opinion. Tons of BUZZ would be around Vancouver if they made a move to draft Bedard #1 overall and keep the kid in BC!
  3. If Canucks do fire Boudreau, they should replace all the assistant coaches as well...except for Goaltending coach Ian Clark
  4. Flying V but reduced in size to what our orca bay logo is on the current jersey? I don't know how to use photoshop to post an example of a shortened fling V on a black jersey base, here is a link to a website for sizing example I was referring too: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/1095844-vancouver-canucks-flying-v?feed_sku=1095844D1V&feed_country=US&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=[G]+[G.NAM]+[L.ENG]+[GEN]+[C.TShirts]+[PLF]&utm_id=notset&utm_content=vancouver+canucks&ar_clx=yes&ar_channel=google&ar_campaign=71700000088093740&ar_adgroup=58700007458494125&ar_ad=PRODUCT_GROUP&ar_strategy=search&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=[G]+[G.CAN]+[L.ENG]+[GEN]+[C.TShirts]+[SSC]&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn4SeBhCwARIsANeF9DJ5FzMtxf7FuUriREZZKvlk69hSAOdmn1h-QFxbhtsjvi8oBLa4WT0aAvUHEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  5. If that is the case can there at least be some kind of redesign on the Orca Bay logo...all we did was change colours to the 70s era and then make the orca bay logo white. For a short stupid period they added Vancouver to the jersey as well. For a team spiraling and spinning their wheels in the mud for over a decade, to truly have a fresh start making a permanent change to the jerseys would be a simple move for them to make. If they go back to the skate era logo or something close to it by minor tweaks to make it not look so "busy" as some might say or hard to read. This change would spark new revenue for the owner and if the Canucks do decide to trade captain Bo and maybe a few other players between now and the 2023 draft this could be a new era for the Canucks being led but EP, Hughes etc OR...we keep the ugly white orca bay logo and fans like myself save lots of money NOT buying team apparel. People are saying this as bad or worse than the Messier era...when we INTRODUCED the orca bay logo. Maybe time to move on from that logo and try to start fresh after a frustrating past 12 years especially!?
  6. Yup, too bad he didn't just hop back up and siwng right back at Sergachev...but we were close to tying it and that is how the Canucks have played for years and years no backbone too worried about taking team off a PP or something istead of standing up for yourself/teammates. If that ever changes maybe this team will play more like a team...cause not standing up for yourself was highlighted in June 2011 by a Sein letting a shrimp do whatever he wanted and 12 years later the same Canuck attitude is here and what is a common theme in those 12 years...a whole lot of losing and UNinspired play on the ice
  7. Canucks could use a heart on his sleeve player like Dorsett...I like Schenn but he needs others on the team that play like him and or like Dorsett. Maybe Lockwood can be than bottom forward to brings it like Motte did. But we need to find other players with that drive, maybe Podkolzin could be one of those players. He puts in the work by all accounts
  8. Iorio needs to be part of the return, not really needing Mantha back but I guess we can hope he regains his form and we flip him at the 2024 tdl I suppose.
  9. Any iteration of this jersey beats the Orca Bay jersey by a landslide in my opinion. Why not have a contest over summer for fans to submit new designs or variations of canuck logos...The winner with the most votes by the end of August let's say gets a pair of season tickets for the coming year, a preloaded gift card for the team store or arena concession. Do something to get people interest in the team and let the creativity flow, if some crazy good design is well received you could make them next years practice jersey or morning skate jersey on select nights or something. I don't know...be creative and do something that would create a buzz around the team in this market. The on ice place is poor, maybe this could be a nice distraction or change from the constant negativity
  10. This likely will NOT be popular but I am going to say it and Yes it comes with a big risk... Would you trade EP, our 2023 1st round selection and Hoglander/Lekkeremaki to the team drafting 1st overall? That might not even be enough, it is a huge risk as EP is a very good player. But to me the potential Berard has and him being from Vancouver would be a marketing genius move by Vancouver even if they had to pay a steeper price? Would sell a ton of jerseys right away and I bet would get more season tickets too! Risk of Berard and his size being able to be a C at the NHL level could be a concern for some. Be tough to trade EP when Bo looks like he is going to be gone and JT is NOT a true C other than faceoff ability. Time to get flamed for this...
  11. JT Miller, Rathbone to Columbus To Vancouver Kuraly, Peeke/Ceulmanns, 2024 2nd or could we get a 2024 lottery protected 1st??
  12. He was brutal on that 4th goal against. Never liked us giving that much to him when we had the most depth at the winger position to begin with. Mik has fit in here decent but if a team wants to acquire him at some point during his contract he signed with Vancouver then I would move him especially if the offer is good!
  13. They ALL don't go on to win the Cup, the Coilers and Laffs are prime examples. But #1 overall picks can make you a regular season powerhouse that I can get behind 100%
  14. Was smart of JR to NOT turn down a nice fat contract offered too him. Was a mistake by the team to bring in who they did imo, but maybe Alvin can figure things out and get a solid return at the TDL for Horvat, Kuzmenko and Schenn?
  15. I get it, we just can't afford to pay Bo after we committed to JT. If we got rid of OEL/Myers/Garland/Pearson/Boeser then maybe it could be possible but seems unlikely as it is just hard to trade players with salaries they don't live up too. Teams want premium assets in return, I mean we had to pay a 2nd round pick to save just over 1m in cap...something we never should have done. Dickinson might have been an okay option as #3C this year for us, Stillman has been terrible
  16. Good to know... but who of Horvat and Kuzmenko is looking for max term and a cap hit in the 8s to possibly 9m...NOT Kuzmenko, small sample size and should get a Panarin esque short term deal or if the player wants maybe Kuz signs for 4-5yrs at or under 6m...that would be good for both player and team potentially?
  17. Horvat is scoring goals, from a #1C I would want a player who can help his linemates and have a half decent assist total...something Horvat does NOT have. Horvat is a #2C imo, he may be elite #2C like Kesler was for us for a few years but don't think his contract season scoring outburst is enough to show he is a legite #1C. Remember people Horvat has 1 60pt season in his career AND now you have his contract year...Rather see another team overpay him, he are far away from the Cup so no need to overpay Bo to keep him here and stay the course being a subpar team while doing so. Just my personal opinion though
  18. It would be admitting a wrong by the GM, but if you can do it and trade JT before his new deal and trade protection kicks in that would be a smart move by the GM to realize the mistake and move on right away if possible of course
  19. add in Hayes who Torts doesn't like and we can send them Garland or Myers? Hayes could be our #2C behind EP allowing us to cash in on a mega haul return for Horvat in a perfect world!
  20. He is covering all teams to ensure at the end of the day (TDL) he can say he was right about where player X ends up. They are social media paid people to discuss hockey yet on a daily basis they seem to get slammed on here for it...If people stopped making new threads and posting what they said, they would likely be out of a job or not seen as such main stream must hear from people...
  21. Are the Canucks not considered a lesser team? Otherwise we are talking a select few teams where Bo is a #1, how much can you pay a guy that is a #2 on a meh team like Vancouver...When #1 EP is going to sign for 9-12m
  22. I know what your saying, but how can we possibly be any worse...I know it is not an ideal move but any cap space savings would be better than rolling out the same roster, with the same lack of success all while being cap strapped no!?
  23. If Detroit is interested in Bo would they not just wait till July 1st? Maybe they don't if they end up trading Larkin and using some of that return to acquire and sign Horvat?
  24. You don't think what I asked for as a return is enough? We are talking about a player with less than 40 career NHL games. If he could net us a recent 1st round pick C or high 2nd round pick RHD...BOTH areas our team lacks what is wrong with that as a return?? We can always ask for a pick as well but what is realistic and a fantasy return are 2 different things. Remember those big asks for JT Miller last TDL and what did we do, we kept and signed him and now a lot of CDC is very unhappy about it due to his attitude. Let's not forget his offensive output since arriving in Vancouver has been the Canucks TOP performer over that time...
