    The biggest issue I have is that we throw away picks and prospects for nothing. That’s Madden and a second for nothing. When you aren’t elite you can’t afford to do that. Benning isn’t held accountable either so that’s a problem. It’s scary to think he might make more trades.

    That's right....and for $4.25 M we could have had real top 6 winger...It makes no sense to me....I thought he was waiting for something north of 5M per year....those are Jay Beagle / Sutter dollars and he is way more valuable than those 2....!

     

    The only solace is that I think Big Mac can be even more valuable in a top 6 role ...or even just top 9...

  2. So...no more Stetcher....and no more Tanev....

     

    Sounds like 2 of.... or even all 3 of Rathbone, Juolevi and Rafferty will be Canucks in January....!

     

    Maybe Chatfield as well...

     

    Rathbone probably starts in Utica and we probably sign a D for depth ...but with Barrie going to the Oilers there are no other free agent D. that have the offensive upside of any of those 3....!

  3. I think some or most of the hockey sense talk comes from him not looking to pass off the rush...he just blasts by people at the level he is playing at...

     

    BUT....he is making smooth and smart moves with the puck on his stick at speed...he can't be too dim....!!!

    I got a great idea, keep your &^@#ing politics out of the game day thread!

    This is hockey talk  it is talk about humanity and is what any decent person would want to talk about....like Stecher (quote below)

     

    I got an idea why not keep your profanity out of this forum....

     

    Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Vancouver Canucks defenceman Troy Stecher was asked if he had seen the graphic video and what his reaction was to the incident.

     

    “Personally I haven’t seen the video, I’ve heard all about the context and the incident,” he said. “It’s heart-wrenching, it’s disgusting. Just like anything in life as a team, we need to come together and we need change, and this is direct evidence of that. Thoughts and prayers are obviously with his family and that community.”

     

    END QUOTE

     

    The whole world needs to speak up and keep speaking up in any forum available to do that...!!!!!!!!!

    We can do this - let's go boys

    You know the Blues are gonna come out  to right their loss after losing the last game. Can't let them knock  us off our game.

    Need an answer for Perron - thinking Mac and Rooster will deal with him given the opportunity - or maybe this would be a time for Jake  to put his stamp on the game. 

    And I was wondering what I was gonna do to kill the afternoon - glad I came online as I thought the game was at 7:30 again.

    Go Canucks Go

    Perron....like Tchapuke...probably won't fight a fighter...

     

    So EP is going to have to straighten him out...!

    Think Podz is going to be a real nice compliment to this group....

    Another reason why Toffoli shouldn't be a huge priority for the team.

     

    All efforts and any extra cap space should be focused on acquiring a top 4 RHD

    (Tanev or Stetches $$ plus Ferlands 3.5 LTIR = RHD upgrade)

    *Be great if Seattle would bite on Myers.

     

              Petey  Boes

    Miller    Bo   

     

    Podz/Jake/Hogs rounding out the top 6

     

    will be a very formidable top 6 in a couple years.

    If Gaudette can continue to improve in 3c role and we can surround him w/some

    big tuff fast ELC wingers...Hogs looks to be one.

    Wish had kept Madden/McCann/all those 2nds that have wasted for the likes of Baer Vey Gudbranson and Toffoli

     

    All the squandered  Erix/Ferland/Sutter/Roussel/Baer/Beagle $$ coming off in couple yrs

     

    Really see this current teams window beginning in 2021/22 - ??

     

    Current window begins...

     

    Next week....!

     

    I would rather try to trade one or 2 of Jake, Sutter, Roussel, Erikkson (of course)  along with Benn to get enough space to sign Toffoli and Tanev.

  7.  

    Rags to riches...

     

    Our whole team is going to be overflowing with talent in a year or so ...it is already more than half way there and with Juolevi, MacEwen, Podz, Hogs, Rathbone and maybe Lind...

    We just have to dump some veteran salary...somehow...Ferland on LTIL will help ...maybe Erikkson will light it up a bit this post season and be sort of tradable with salary retention or a sweetener...

  8. Oli is who I thought he was ....an elite puck moving D. 

     

    As his hip gets more mobility in it he will be a complete D.

     

    He should be on our 3rd pairing to start the next series and on our 2nd PP 

     

    Also Big Mac looked great...he needs more playing time as well....!

  9. 50 years of crappy reffing...

     

    ...and counting...we should have had 6-7 PP at a minimum...

     

    Also Green needs to get his act together or be replaced...he has messed up BB and EP both of whom had great rookie seasons only to be constrained into mundaneness....

     

    When was the last time Petey broke someones ankles...when was the last time BB hit the top corner...if he messes with QH I will be on a warpath...!
