  1. As long as we get Virtanen or Nylander im happy. We still have some tough games and lots of injuries. Jensen has a deadly quick release.
  2. Im guessing he wants a high draft pick as well? Otherwise thats mean haha
  3. As long as he keeps draft picks and doesnt trade them away for guys like Roy, im ok with him. He drafts ok, and his trades and signings have been hit or miss. He didnt trade Kesler for scraps thank god. If Horvat and Shinkaruk turn into good NHL'ers hes looking pretty good. Jensen seems to have alleviated a lot of the Gillis hate for now.
  4. Top 10 is better then 14th or something where we miss out on Virtenen, Nylander ect.
  5. Tanev, Kesler, Sedin all out. Looks good to me hope we lose 4-3 in regulation with the top line flying and being entertaining. We need Virtenen or Nylander please.
  6. Kirk is a fitness freak isnt he? Shinkaruk is there? Thought I saw him talking to Smyl.
  7. Are any of Horvats playoff games going to be on tv?
  8. lol a month ago some clowns wanted to buy him out. Broken jaw is a horrible injury for a hockey player. Takes time, and now he has confidence. That line is playing great. The only reason to be watching right now.
  9. If we deal in conference, it will take a lot to pry Kesler away.
  10. If Canucks brass can pull that off, do it asap. I said, as did some others, that Kassian was still a year away at the beginning of the season. Next year he will probably get 20 goals. 24 year old 20 goal power forwards are gold. Gillis should have put him in the minors at the beginning for more seasoning but he had to save face i guess.
  11. Oh I do. I was kind of being a smart ass, but im glad the tanking process is in full effect. Jensen looks like he could be a star. Reminds me of Naslund kind of.
  12. Why do some of you guys whine when we talk about tanking?? Thats how you rebuild. You suck then you get a good draft pick. I want Nylander. I hope hes there when we are drafting. I prefer a few other guys, but dont think they will be around at 8-10 spot.
  13. I want to tank still, but the last few games have been way easier to watch... The first line has been good and fun to watch for the last week. Jensen looks like the real deal. Good to see Burrows not sucking.
  14. Thats interesting.. Id probably do it but id cry that we lost Shinkaruk. I think he will be a quality player.
  15. Where is Virtanen rated in the draft by BMac?
  16. Its not all his fault but Torts has done a terrible job this season in my opinion. If you want me to go through the many reasons why I think this way I can.
  17. Yeah and old Torts sure helped both situations LOL He benched Lu for the winter classic and then kept Lack in for 7 goals in 20 minutes.
  18. Thats what Im banking on. If we get a top 5 this year and do a ton of scouting, and dont blow the pick. Then get a top 5 next year in a deep draft we are already rebuilt. If Kesler leaves then get a couple of top prospects in return. Lets just tank this thing hard for 2 years then go after it. If some of the vets want out oblige them and get some players under 25.
  19. I knew the problem wasnt AV... Torts has lost the room hes done. Dead man walking. Gillis should be gone, but if he is Aquilinis puppet he will probably stay. I hope we dont win another game this season. It will give us a good pick in a weak draft and we can sell some of our players like Kesler who doesnt want to be here, and maybe more, the way the seasons going,for young guys under 25. I dont have a lot of faith Gillis can make fair deals anymore though. Other gms dont seem to respect him much. Tank this year and next season and get a top 5 pick hopefully Mcdavid.
