  1. Rutherford can build around few core players just like what he did in Pittsburgh. He got them Kessel, Hagelin, Bonino etc. to make them a cup contender. We need to identify the core that can get us to the cup and build around them. Because no one will be waiting for another 7 years of rebuild.
  2. Yeah I dont get people here screaming for a rebuild. If we want a rebuild and want to do it the "right way" then they should trade Horvat, Miller, Petersson, Boeser, Hughes and Demko and get all the picks and blue chip prospect they can. But people need to remember that Benning will not be the one at the draft, and he was great in drafting. It will be a new GM and who knows what kind of drafting we will have. Last thing we need is to be another Buffalo Sabres team which keeps drafting high, developing and then trading those players again to draft more...rinse and repeat. While we have this group of young players, Hoglander and Podkolzin on ELC and Rathbone in the wing, we need to trade for better support players and make a run for it. Another rebuild would just lead to another rebuild unless you trade everyone and start from scratch with 10 1st round picks.
  3. Other teams like Buffalo can be that dumb. Look where Eichel is now, he was tge 2nd overall pick and franchise player traded for Tuch, a 3rd line player.
  4. Our goal is to first make the playoffs, gain experience and do it again next year. You dont go to playoffs for the first time in a long time and be considered a cup contender. Doesnt work like that, just look at the Avs. You need to fail multiple times in the playoffs before you can gain the necessary experience to succeed. Also who talked about dealing picks? But we sure as hell wont be rebuilding the rebuild. I see shuffling of players or retooling but dont see rebuilding unless they want to trade the whole core and start from scratch with no guarantee if the next core can compete for playoffs nevermind the cup. You either make the playoffs and build on that or trade the core and start over for another 10 years. Petersson, Horvat and Miller wont stay for another long rebuild and Hughes would just leave for NJ once his contract is done. Think very carefully about what you wish for because Sabres have not been able to do anything even after landing many top picks.
  5. Rutherford is a crazy guy and could trade a core player to land a more effective player.
  6. Look at how many gamea we have left. 50 games and you are already quitting because LA has what? 2 points on us? Its not even christmas yet and you think Canucks are done lol. If Canucks win 5 or 6 more in a row they would be easily in a playoff spot. Also if we played more gamea means the other teams will have a more compressed schedule and that means back to back games, losses and injuries.
  7. They need to win the week. No need to look at it like that. They are 6 points out of a playoff spot with 50 games to go. Its not impossible to get in.
  8. They should trade Dickenson and pearson for defensive help. Also opens up cap space for us. They can bring up lockwood to replace dickenson.
  9. we are getting breaks or is it because we are playing better and a different style of game? With Green we would not win 3 in a row even with some lucky breaks.
  10. That is Green's fault. I already hated him during preaeason for not allowing all of our regulars to get more than 1 preseason game. Then he played Rathbone like a rented mule all of preseason and cut all the promising youngsters for Chiasson and Dowling. Green was the worst thing to happen to Canucks and that one bubble run was a fluke.
  11. Green also had services of Demko, too bad Green doesnt know how to coach but Bruce knows
  12. Pearson even falls down when someone passes to him. Dude is acting like a PTSD vet around a gernade.
  13. Pearson has fanned a million times in this game. If he connected even on one, we would be up
  14. I dont know what you are talking about? You forgot all the bertuzzi goalie interference when he would brush the goalie in blue paint and they would call it goalie interference? You probably dont read the rulebook. Its not about how hard the goalie is interfered with because even brushing them in blue ice right before a goal has been called goalie interference. Go check the NHL rulebook on that. If it impedes with the goalie making the save then it will be called. Its not about how hard the goalie was hit or if he would have made the save or not, that doesnt make sense at all.
  15. Thata not how it works. The guy made contact with demko in blue ice, thats off limits no matter what
  16. Remember Green picked this guy and I dont trust Green. Hope JR can trade Chaisson or waive him and get someone else
  17. Rutherford has his own people and doesnt want anyone that is assoviated with past failures.
