  1. I'm with you on that. I think the club needs to extend Horvat ASAP. He's the captain of the team for better or for worse. Bo's been good at the captaincy. It's hard being captain here in this market. Look at how intense the coverage has been from an online presence to radio waves about this team. Welcome to Vancouver, Petey, and Miller!
  2. Why is Dickinson's FO so bad?
  3. I feel so bad for Thatcher. He's been playing so awesome. The defense in front of him has been $&!#. And the forwards can't seem to score to help him. Demmer deserves better. The team needs to start getting on a winning streak again. They really need to, or else someone's getting fired soon. Ownership is only patient as long as it doesn't affect their bottom line. Once it does, the organization will react.
  4. Bo's 26. JT's 28 By the time JT becomes a UFA in the summer of 2023, he will be 30 already. Players generally don't flourish offensively after 30. And if I were Miller, this would be my last contract most likely, so I wouldn't be signing a 4-5 year deal. I'd want to try to get the max in the market. Some GM will give him the max, especially based of off how he's performed (assuming he will continue to perform offensively the next year and a little bit). Miller will be on the decline, while Bo will still be in his prime at 28. He's also our captain. I think JT also gets the team the most back. Could management, assuming they're smart and intelligent enough to do this, get a young RHD in return with a 1st round pick for JT Miller? I mean, it's also possible that the team trades him, and then he comes back and signs with the team. This is assuming of course that the team is contending and gets their act together. As it stands today, it doesn't feel hopeful.
  5. I think even though Miller is an "emotional" leader, he would get us the most in return. He's 28 right now, by the time his contract is up, he'll be 30. Players generally don't continue to thrive offensively after they're 30 years old. That alone, I'd attempt to find a trade partner, and see if we can get a 1st round pick in return and and a top RHD in return. We need a young RHD in our system, one that can contribute right away. I hate the idea of trading the captain. Does doing that send a message to the team? Like, the room feels fragile. What would trading their captain do to that already fragile room and psyche? Miller also hasn't been around a long time, while Bo has been around a long time now.
  6. I'd like to see Petan get a shot up here. He can't be worse than the bottom six we've got right now. I expect a closer game against the Avs, though, with that being said, I would not be shocked if we were run out of our own building tomorrow. It's almost gotten to the point where if the team takes a penalty, they believe that they'll get scored on, because the PK has been so bad. I hope they've been practicing the PK during practice, because that's one that is killing us. Why this team's cohesiveness is so dysfunctional is beyond me, because they have so much talent in their top nine (or should). Their defense isn't even that bad. It's not great, but it's far from being the worse in the league.
  7. he's also 29/30 years old when his current contract is up. Will he keep that production up well into his thirties?
  8. Gillis stood up for this franchise, that's true. He did so many things well, but the drafting was horrid. That's something that our fan base always talks about, prospects, and we never really had anything under his tenure. It was down right horrible. Sorry for my ignorance, but who is Hammartstrom?
  9. Can only assume because none of us have any facts into anything, which is frustrating as hell. I can't see Bo being the guy that's disrupting the room. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to do something like that, and if he was, why didn't he disrupt the room before? Why now? Miller, I can see as a disruptive player in the locker room. It's got to be a top player on the team right? Could it be Petey? Miller? I can't see it being Brock, or Bo. They don't seem to be the types.
  10. Sigh. This team is such a mess. Don't even know where to start. I can see Miller being the guy that CH is talking about. I'd be very surprised if it's Bo.
  11. Yeah. I hear you, but his drafting record when he was GM was horrible. The cupboard were bare when he was here, and it was still bare when he left.
  12. but I wonder if Bo's was ready for the role you know.
  13. I don't have any hope that Benning will do anything to improve the team.
  14. Could be this kind of erratic behaviour that has led the team to feel so down and out. Leadership starts at the top. And it doesn't seem like the organization has it. like, at all.
  15. Benning is a great scout. at heart. He's drafted really well for this organization, considering we've been pretty inept with that. A part of me agrees with what you're saying about how his mismanagement is creating doubt, and distrust among the players.I wonder if the issue is more with Benning than it is with Green. What would it say if owners removed Benning and the team suddenly starts playing better?
  16. If the option is between the two of them only then I say Green, unless Babcock has demonstrated that he's changed from his former ways. No way I bring Babcock in with what he did the last time he was employed as an NHL coach. Rather have Green than an abusive coach. No thanks to that.
  17. Yes. Because players want to be in unstable and losing environments. He ain't coming here.
  18. The fact that it makes too much sense for management to do it, is the only reason that they're not going to do it. I wouldn't hold my breath, everyone. Prepared to be disappointed in 24 hours.
  19. Could be about personality as well. Torts was like a firecracker. Green seems more like a, whatever is the opposite of a firecracker.
  20. I don't know if we as fans can really say. We aren't privy to what's going on in the locker room. The leadership of this team is really young, if you think about it. Horvat is 26 years old. To see someone at 26 as captain of a Canadian NHL franchise is crazy to me. If I"m not mistaken. Hank was 30 years old when he became captain. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/henrik-sedin-named-canucks-team-captain/c-540121
  21. If a teen was throwing tantrums on his/her high school team, would that be acceptable? Would we say that individual is just filled with passion and that he/she cares about the team and her teammates and the game? I want people with passion, yes, I want them to care, but there's also a professionalism as well. Throwing tantrums or being "moody" for teens and young people wouldn't necessarily be something we'd be okay with, and if that's true, then how can we say it's acceptable for an adult in professional hockey? I like JT as a player. I am sure he's an amazing man and husband, and dad to his kids. I kind of compare it to Torts. Tortorella was a coach that definitely and absolutely had passion. It came out wrong. He misrepresented this amazing city, and this organization. A lot of fans didn't agree with his "passion". He hated to lose, I can understand that, but it still doesn't justify his behavior, his moodiness or his tantrums he threw behind the bench during games, post-games, etc.
