    What are your unpopular Canuck opinions?

    in Canucks Talk

    Posted

    Benning was a good GM except for his loyalty to Green. A different coach could have motivated his players (Erikssssn) had success with players that seemed to die on the vine here (Schmidt/ Bartschi) and developed young players (Goldobin). 

     

    His loyalty to a terrible coach is mind boggling, especially since it cost him his job and probably all future job opportunities.

    Well on the positive side we now have 2 Alien's... That's going to be confusing as hell for those "listening" to a game..

    Pettersson passes to Petterson, Petterson takes it behind the net, passes to Pettersson, for the one time from the circle and Pettersson scores!!!

     

    We honed the ability to differentiate with the Sedins.

    Which Canuck were you wrong about? Good or Bad?

    Shawn Antoski. 1990 First Round Pick

     

    6.4 and 235lbs
    Super Fast. Scored 25 goals and 56 points in 59 games in juniors with over 200 pm.
    First year in the minors he scores 17 goals and has 24 points with 330 penalty minutes. Second year he again has 17 goals and 33 points with 346 pms.

     

    As a Canuck, he never really figured out any way to be effective.

    Next Up - Boeser -- Re-Sign or Trade

     Hogs has been terrible this year and is no where near good enough defensively to take first line minutes. There's a reason his butt gets stapled to the bench and he's been a healthy scratch. 

    Hogz would benefit from some Abbotsford time. Get some confidence. Playing up with the big team seems to be too much ATM. He's great but could use some more development.

    [Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks

    Get ready Vancouver fans. Here comes a little something called asset management. We're not really used to it. Actually we're used to assets walking away for nothing. 

     

    Miller is an amazing asset. As good as it gets. He's worth so much to teams about to compete for the Cup, far more than he's worth to us currently. He's pretty much our everything and it sucks to lose him. However, our window to win isn't now and it probably isn't next year. 

     

    We're not keeping him. It would be 'Benning Dumb' to do that. He will fetch us a young right defenceman and a young big forward that will help make a more complete team for the future. Plus draft picks. It's going to be a big haul.

    I think Miller is great and if our window to win was now, I wouldn't think about moving him. But it's not.

     

    Timing is everything...

    Benning ~ Not all bad (Discussion)

    spelling

    Over the years we saw some interesting moves by Benning that just didn't seem to work out. Now that we have witnessed the Canucks under a new coach, I wonder if what looked like bad moves were really great moves killed by an atrocious coach. 

    Was Player Louie E ruined by Green? Nate Schmidt? Goldobin? Baertchi? Tryamkin?

    I don't think there's much point rushing to trade for more D-men. Let's see what we got for a bit, sort it out in the off season. Unless we get a great offer for Boeser now he's scoring again.

    I'm pretty sure the game plan isn't to wait until the off season for anything.

    It was never as bad as the experts in the media said it was anyway.  OEL didn't start this game and we won.

     

    Have a look around the league if you think our D when healthy is so thin.

    When healthy our D is decent with some good players but it's not the greatest D corps.

     

    The point is that once a few guys get injured, which we are starting to see, we get thin on NHL talent fast.

    Next man up.

     

    At least with BB running the show we can be optimistic that whoever it is will be able to handle it better than under Green.

    for sure. it will be fun to watch a new approach.
