  1. How do you like Frans Nielsen and Troy Brouwer as realistic free agent options for the Canucks? Sign both to 2 year deals to play in the top 9.

      We have 7 signed without Higgins. Baertschi and Granlund to re-sign. Etem and Vey trying for a spot. Then McCann and Virtanen trying to come back. We could make 2-3 forward UFA signings. 

       

      On the back, Edler Tanev Hutton Sbisa Tryamkin + Hamhuis? Larsen? Pedan? Biega?

       

      We could go big and make the playoffs, adding good UFA's.

      I think we will most likely get a top 4 pick this year as well. Which will probably be a forward that will be ready to play in the top 9 next season.

       

      I'd rather go all in for Lucic or Stamkos, if not our top 9 should be OK if healthy.

      I think it really depends obviously the Canucks need to keep spots open for young players. I think Vey could be traded possibly for a pick. McCan,Virtanen,Guance to start in the minors.

       

      Etem is a quality 4th liner with size and speed to forecheck if they keep him.

       

      Grenier is waiver eligible he needs a spot or traded.

       

      If the Canucks want to be a playoff team Nielsen and Brouwer should be enough while leaving money to re-sign the young players.

       

  2. IF you a true fan you gotta be ream tank for 10 games. :P

      I agree. Depth should be better next year especially with McCann and Guance or Virtanen in the minors in Utica for depth.

    3. Green Building

      Yeah I still say one or both of Virt or McCann will be in Utica. Not showing a lot of NHL readiness down the stretch. Perhaps McCann would show more if given better linemates/minutes, but his strength isn't there. I've missed the last 2 games, but he's appeared to be a spaghetti noodle on skates at times this season. 

       

      High hopes for both, reasonable expectations though. And they start with proper development. To bad they each of them couldn't have been there this year. Stupid birthdays. Stupid CHL rules.

  3. Another one then another one keep this L train going only 11 games left to buy lottery tickets for once in your history don't screw up this pick Canucks. #TEAMTANK

      Hey Chip : )    looks like the tank mission is ahead full steam !

      I don't advocate full season tanking but when the ships sinking on the season why not turn a negative season into a positive by adding a close to NHL ready young impact player?:P

  4. Anybody who is anti team tank explain your reasoning.:rolleyes:

      that's like being a prize fighter and taking money to lay down...very unethical ....the players will always go out and try their best...i know i would...if we end up with a great pick , fine but not on purpose,

    3. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      Didnt the Sabres tank on purpose? 

    4. Bruce Boudreau

      Bruce Boudreau

      Not saying you should tank from the start but after trade deadline you know you are a seller and have no real shot to do anything in the playoffs. Plus by now with what 11 games left everyone should be hoping for losses.

  5. So what did I miss?:blink:

  6. So lots of stuff happens when you hibernate for a month and don't follow any news..:wacko:

      I know right? Do I get tickets to the game because I coach the home team?

      Love watching Cam makes me think what I could do with Kap.

  9. Keep going Canucks long way left still to get to rock bottom let Sutter and the Capatain have a nice long rest. No need to rush injuries the team is playing splendidly.

  10. Fight seemed rigged and I wanted Connor to win but not like that without a fight. Seemed pre-planned.

      Aldo was overagressive and paid for it.

    3. JV77

      JV77

      not really even over aggressive.  You could see the 1-2 punch he was going for but just simply got caught with one of those clean shots.

      Either way credit and congrats to #MYsticMaC.

  11. Sorry man link doesn't work for the fight says to sign up first any other streams with no sign up required. International feeds? Any help please. Thanks again.

  13. Does everyone realize the Canucks rank in the bottom of the league in terms of height, weight, and age of players? 

    http://www.eliteprospects.com/teams_data.php?LeagueID=7&sort=wt

    They are dead last in terms of weight. This why they can't play a "heavy game" they literally don't have the poundage to throw bodies around.

    This is a very old team that is not good. They got faster and slightly younger from last year but they have not addressed the size issues.

    There 2 "tough guys" are both under 200 pounds. The Canucks are the lightest team in the league and probably the softest too.

    Hard to play a heavy physical game when you have a bunch of featherweights trying to throw their body around and make an impact.

    1. RRypien37

      RRypien37

      Yes. This is nothing new. An issue for over a few years now. 

    2. Odd.

      Odd.

      As a person that doesn't really mind us being a little 'soft', this is mind-boggling.

  14. #1 example of a pro player stealing money.. https://vine.co/v/izFptKqeDVu

  15. Embrace the tank. Auston Matthews and Jacob Chychrun maybe for once the Canucks will get some luck and win the draft lottery?

    Doubt it. Still would take a top 10 pick over 1 and done come playoff time or worse coming up just short.

    Hamhuis-Weber worst top 4 d-pair in the league hands down.

    Only Tanev and Edler are quality d on this team. This team should lose if not for the weak division to keep them in it till the trade deadline passes.

  16. This John Klingberg Swedish d seemingly came out of nowhere.

    Former 5th round pick in 2010 leads all d in points and assists.

    What a freaking steal!!

  17. Great publicity stunt or desperate and pathetic celebrity seeking attention? Which is it?

    Shia Labeouf live streaming his facial expressions and reactions to all of his movies to date as he watches them in a theater in New York for 72 hours.

      Perhaps all publicity is good publicity no matter how desperate or through what means it is achieved.

  18. Halloween over yet?

    Would suck if you had work tomorrow or had to study or do some work for a class. While M80s and Roman Candles get tossed around the whole night plus an extra hour because of the time change.

      Haha...I gave up on studying and working on an assignment because of the trick or treating that was going on. My sister also brought her dogs over, so it got insanely loud.

      Hope it all works out for you :)

      It's pure trash, I actually find it unbearable. I hate change and this one has taken it too far.
