  1. well this is really disappointing been on the forums since 2008 this is my second account but where am I going to get my daily NHL feed now >< anyways if there is a discord or another forum that everyone is going to migrate too please post links.
  2. if the Flames get in over Vancouver I'd be surprised they are a complete mess especially after last year but who knows new coaching just may be what they needed.
  3. interesting list some names I'd like to see in a Canucks sweater could round out the bottom lines of this team
  4. They signing this guy to help protect Bedard. Makes sense to me I hope Bedard comes to Vancouver in 10 years or so when he becomes a UFA cause F*** Chicago.
  5. sure Dana White is right about the NHL but where his problem lies is not paying his fighters anything the UFC takes home like 90% of the profit share. These guys should be set for life after they retire or leave the UFC.
  6. Not surprising for 7.2mil he was not living up to his contract with his performance it will suck the 2 years of the over 4 mil in dead cap. Outside of those years it isn't too bad. Really goes to show just how bad Benning's moves were, he dumped 3 players that were all on expiring deals only to get back another player with even longer term. I don't have much expectation that the Canucks are going to make it far in the playoffs if they manage to even get there next year. Until this team finally fully embraces a full rebuild I am not holding out hope for them.
  7. Benning was a disaster for this team and it came at free agency time. At the time they looked like good deals but seeing how it has all played out now Vancouver is in such a bad place now at the cap. If Vancouver could offload OEL somewhere I'd be happy or actually rebuild this team and realize that retooling hasn't worked these past 8 years or so.
  8. Sure if he signs for cheap but no way that happens so yeah would have to pass on that if I were the GM.
  9. Jim Rutherford said it best the Canucks are no where near competing for a Stanley Cup so they should be no where near the cap. What I am really saying is Vancouver will have the extra 4 mil that gives them the ability to get out of those contracts without giving away assets, picks etc. I say let those contracts run there course. Which means they can't really sign too many players in free agency if at all until those contracts are gone.
  10. They are trying to compete now pretty evident they are bound to sign a player in free agency. Another bloated contract among the other bloated contracts on the roster.
  11. the extra 4 mil gives the Canucks time for some of the bad contracts to expire. Unfortunately I am pretty sure Allvin will spend that extra 4 mil on another bloated contract.
  12. Horvat's skating was an issue I imagine the Canucks can fix that issue for Matt Wood as well
  13. It would be much easier to trade off every other asset Canucks have now to try to trade for Chicago's 1st overall pick which could possibly land them enough assets with Hughes, Demko, Petterson, +++++ as much as I would want to have Bedard play for Vancouver it would be easier to sign him to a deal when he becomes a UFA. Honestly I think Chicago is worse off now then they were last year because they have no team to put around Bedard.
  14. This seems like the most likely option. Though Petterson, Hughes will be in their 30s by this time ><
  15. Wow what a wild playoffs Leafs advance, Oilers advance, Panthers beat the Bruins, Seattle Eliminate the defending cup champions Colorado. Only the Rangers and Devils remaining to finish their series.

      It is Wild (without the Wild) and may get wilder if a Canadian Team actually wins a cup

      Unless he is like Jeremy Roenick where the only thing he cared about was money.

      @Shekky it does look like that, but possibly not intentional. He may have been hoping for a counter offer or a miller trade. And in the end he wound up on another team, possibly not his team preference but he did get his ask.

  18. Being that I was born in Winnipeg but grew up in Vancouver so I cheer on the Jets and as I am living in AB I kinda root for the Oilers as well.
