AV.

i'ld rather use the money to pay our rfa's....

^Doesn't matter what you'd do, because Benning knows what he's doing.

My bet is he ends up in Nashville.

What is everyone's problem with that RoyalFlush guy anyway, never heard of him. R.Luongo.1 was hilarious though

Hey royal^, long time no talk.

who?

I think of you while I sleep AV.

My loins have burned waiting for your return.

Yeah, if Motte pulled a Hamhuis and just left, I'm sure the reaction would be different.

I do Motte like it here 

Life goes on. 

LOL at those lamenting the loss of a third/fourth liner whom team and player couldn't agree on a contract within Canucks' budgetary/cap constraints created by Benning.

I'm a fan of Tyler Motte, but he like nearly every player in the universe is replaceable. In fact the third/fourth line winger may be the easiest player to replace on an NHL roster.

Time is now for Highmore to take Motte's spot and for Lockwood to take Highmore's spot.  Executing a succession plan.  Happens every single day.

parrots ala mode

lmaoooooooo

Please don't taint my feed with Radiohead

Yuck.

dafook

I still think Jan Bulis shining head is a better name

The squads may infact be split.

I heard it's split and squats fame. Half the team does the splits and if you guessed the other half doing squats, you're correct.

I think someone made a terrible mistake with the scheadule.

Lol

HAH good answer coach

your doing a great job coach....next stop, stanley cup...see you there.

Anybody think mgmt also did this because of Sutter's UFA status. Could be worth something to a contender at the TD. And would allow us to bring in a McCann, Cassels, or Gaunce in 2017.

i'm sure benning has the future of this team in mind...

The pick is no worse than a 10 pick difference. Probably less imo. Bonino+Clendening=Sutter. Good hockey trade. Bonino brings a 2-3 C skillish game to the pens and Sutter brings a 2-3 C meat and taters game for us. Clendening sweetens the deal for Pitts. I don't think he'll be more than a 4-6 D and we have enough of those already.

We're not signing those guys, we're waiting for them to sign elsewhere and throw Bieksa to whoever didn't get to sign them. We aren't close to winning a Cup but we can at least play hard and work to create a winning culture.

bieksa has to approve who he goes to...apparently two teams...we can't take on salary, we need the cap space to sign, baerschi, clendening, corrado and grenier...

I wouldnt mind going with some new blood..if we lose at least we are moving forward..our core is o0ld..overpaid and not good enough..thats out worst problem

Meh*

It was terrible...

It seems the threads themselves live on in White Noise.

thats about ~1 post a day, seems normal.

Why?

I'm hoping for a good match altogether. Even if Italy don't win, if a solid 90 minutes, maybe even 120 minutes are played, it's been a thrilling tournament for myself.

guaranteed to be at least a dive every 5 minutes. I'm thinking I'll just find something funner to do on Canada Day, like mark papers

Watch Free Agent Frenzy?

was that a choke-job or did the Rangers travel schedule tire out then boys of yours??

So tell us, why the hell did we lose the SCF..? what happened !!!! I want YOUR PERSPECTIVE..

Does your wife know about Andrew and Aaron?

You said it, Agent P

10 days? More like 10 minutes in I wanted to change it.

throw yo' hands in the aiy-ah, if yous a true playa !

YEEAHH !

Thats innovation at its finest. Need to pick that one up in the next few years

I got the PC version, so freakin awesome that I can play netplay via dialup

Christmas wishlist. Please Santa!

@Quantum That doesn't make much sense because he had been producing in the past - before coming to the Canucks - whether it was a contract year or not. Given the fact that Player Name's only been with two coaches with questionable backgrounds, it's possible that Player Name was misused.

Desjardins hasn't coached in the NHL in quite some time after tanking hard in LA - and Green is probably gonna be out if he can't string some wins with such a stacked roster.

Loui just needed a change of scenery really.  If he's playing on the top line in Arizona I can see him popping in 30 goals this year...

From what I've read on here, it was pretty much expected he would be lighting it up at the start of the season. My prediction is he'll start to fade again come mid-season much like what happened to Neal in Edmonton.

Did anyone really believe that JR would be 'hands off'?

I think JR did mention that he wanted to bring someone in who he could mentor. If that's true, then PA is being mentored under JR, so practically, JR probably driving this bus for the time being. He's not going to be here long term anyways right, is my understanding. So PA is going to be, hopefully, around longer with the franchise. 

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if both JR and Alvin are gone in 3 years or less. We will see what happens but it wouldn't shock me if were re tooling the re tool that we re tooled 3 years from now.

That's what happens when a team vastly underachieves.

Maybe expectations were too high? I'm not saying it's fine to get eliminated first round, especially after winning two Presidents' Trophies and an appearance in the Cup finals, but it's a grueling road to get to the finals, let alone back-to-back.

This team has been playing lie crap for over 4 months, not just 1 bad series.

^Hey, quit complaining about him complaining about complaining.

I have a complaint ARF. I am not complaining. I am harassing.

fair enough, carry on

I love chess. Completely suck at it though. 

Rooks gotta stay at the back all game yo.

Get back at him/her with that knight.

if the team won 16 straight, there would be complaints, that we should have won it in 15 games...

^It's funny because I could definitely imagine a thread saying we should have won a few more games with a shutout or holding the other team to less than 15 shots.

Tell us about the process, AV!

Weren't legit rumours but more or less fan proposed stuff.

I thought we were getting Gaborik?

^Was that the same summer? Wow! The ambitions and hopes of this board never change.
