I'm still pissed about Forsling. He's going to be a good defenseman.
-
You don’t need hind sight it was a bad trade then it’s a terrible trade now.
He called clendening “nhl ready” he wasn’t then and he still isn’t.
Frosling here playing and no need for garbage poopsalot this tean probably in the playoffs.
Jim Benning is and always will be Short sighted. His goal has always been playoffs
The real goal is a dominant deep team year after year one that can compete for cups not get swept or squeak in.

Goddamitt Pouliot!!!

So what i heard on the news today was , Alberta wants to move to US and Montana wants to move to Canada ? what in the actual eff?
-
Id like to see McEneny or Sautner get a legit chance. Biega too.
-
As of right now we’ll have $35 million in cap space in the summer. If we move Sutter, Gudbranson, Eriksson, Gagner, and Schaller that will bump us up to over $50 million, which would give us plenty of room to maybe sign a star or two. If Benning can do it Aquilini should give him the green light imo.
-
Except nobody wants any of those guys except maybe softer. And they all have bad contracts for what they provide.
If louie retires?
and the benning bottom three UFa signing parade continues.
Continue to build though the draft. Judd bracket has done an incredible job.
Move older vets (tanev) and acquire more picks prospects don’t resign edler.
And get rid of poo.
Ufa “stars” are always over paid and then how many times have they never lived up to the hype, niel Calgary, eriksdone here, luc. Edm to name three...

pouliot has got to go. trade him for an expired, dented can of beans and call up schenn. lets do it up
-
Would you trade for Ferland in a trade revolving around Sutter. I would given the emergence of Gaudette and the fact that Ferland would fit like a glove in our top-6.

Sportsnet better fix their channel before the Canucks game. It's all choppy right now on channel 22 but fine on 54, both showing the Bruins game(Shaw). BTW what's up with all the Bruins games being shown lately?
-
Is it safe to say Jim Benning wins GM of the year this year?
He's proven he's the best drafter & scout in the NHL. I still can't believe we have Elias and Brock...
-
His drafting improved when he replaced his head scout something that should have been done years ago. That could turn out to be his best move.
Gm of the year is a title Jim Benning will never win.
He should be happy he still has a job. Pooalot gagme erisdone vrbata schaller Larsen mdz.
Super drafter huh home many draft picks over the 5 years are in the nhl. 3 all from the first round are on this team and 2 are the result of the new scout.
How many top 10 picks has he had again in that time. I wonder if he pulled the knife out of lindens back yet or if he’s leaving it for a while longer. #speduprebuild.lol even thou we are worse than last season,

Leipsic claimed by Kings.

Yost thinks Tkachuk and Dahlin actually have a chance at the Calder. What a joke. Just on entertainment alone Pettersson wins by a wide margin.
-
Willy D said Kovalchuk is used to playing in the top 6... stop there, you’re already ignorant of the player you are talking about. He played top 1. Not top 6. Not even top 1 on his team. Top 1 in the league. He set records for minutes played for a forward, and dominated those minutes. He was the best player in the world for months at a time, and would have accomplished so much more, if he didn’t play on the worst franchise in NHL history, during his prime.
Who gives a **** if he can’t play defence, he can score! Don’t punish him because you can’t stand players who are offensive minded.
I can’t believe this guy was hired in the nhl again.
-
I was suprised to silly willie got another shot. He fantastic at throwing his players under the bus and terrible at getting the most out of them.
He wont last in LA unless they are going for a good lottery ticket I’d be suprised if he isn’t replace before the new year. Especially with all the quality NHL coaches available.
He loves his plugs and hates his skill wierd he can’t find nhl success.

Im really suprised benning hasnt changed anything on our defense he must wanna tank hutton tanev biega guddy have zero offense and guddy is only one thats physical with any consistency. Jimbos plan must be the hard tank hope he unloads guys at deadline but i have no problem with goldobin petersson eriksson line louie might actually earn his salary this yr whew
-
Give Bo the C already. This whole no captain thing is just stupid.
-
I will never understand people who make a fuss over preseason results. If they actually mattered, things like this will/would have happened;
1. The Browns would win the Super Bowl basically every year
2. The Orioles would have made the playoffs over the NYY this year
3. Tottenham Hotspur would actually have won a trophy
They don't matter. Stop acting like they do.
-
Yet if we were 6-1 the same people saying it’s “just the preseason” would be saying how great things will be and are and laugh at the teams doing what we are doing.
Other teams managed to score and win it was the preseason for them to.
It wasn’t a good showing from many in what’s suppose to be a “battle for jobs” almost looked like most would rather be unemployed.

Pettersson, Leipsic, Goldobin, Motte, Sautner > Granlund, Gagner, Eriksson, Gaunce, Pouliot.

Gaudette over gagme
lets see these “bold moves” and rewarding young players.
To bad it’s all just a sales pitch and PR talk and pooalot gagme and eriksdone (when heathy) will be once again gifted spots come October.
The d will look the same as last/year and the results will to.
signing 3-6 ufas in July with unmovable contracts doesn’t help make space for youth even if they “earn it”

LOL Virtanen fell during the conditioning skate...thanks to Troy Stecher's vomit
sigh I love that hockey is back
-
Just found out EK is a shark... with EK, CM97, the Flames, Kings, and VGK in the division we are in really tough..... but maybe this is for the best. Jack Hughes is a possibility and our young guys will learn quickly.

A&W Beyond Meat burger a smash hit? 3 locations are sold out. Did A&W strike a chord?
-
The first time I had it I thought it was good. The second time it was ok
the third time I got one then I I had to run into a store when I got back in the truck it stunk like dog food and not the good kind and the burger wasn’t good. Now I can’t eat them they smell likes dr Ballard’s goo.
I do do eat a meat alternative when cooking tacos spaghetti ect..
And it doesn’t smell wierd.

They’ll have knives for your back.....
they’ll tell you there new and fresh but then seat you in old and worn out....
they’ll be poorly constructed but sold as retooled/rebuilt.....
they’ll be full of holes.....
They’ll make you feel like your a puppet....
they’ll be twice as big so they can sell half as many and say it’s a sell out......
they’ll have a meter built in so you have to keep paying more money to stay seated...
They’ll make them look like happy fans so it looks like there’s somebody at the games.....
i shouldn’t give them any ideas..

I'm a bit confused as to how this upcoming season is the Vancouver Canucks 50th season...?? Can someone explain that math to me? Canucks joined the NHL in the 1970-71 season. Our 40th season was the 2010-2011 season, so shouldn't our 50th be the 2020-21 season?? Is this not actually our 48th season?
-
It would be stupid not to try and trade a forward this offseason. No reason to lose an asset if you can get a pick out of it. No reason to worry about competition with prospects such as Pettersson, Gaudette, Dahlen, MacEwen, Jasek, Lind fighting for spots. Also if one wants more competition we could sign some PTOs.
In the end we should clear some room so we don't lose valuable assets
-
Waivers and buy outs are more likely the only way vancouver can clear a roster spot.
Gagme has no value, eriksdone has been worthless and would cost us a pick to move, bearcheese not sure how much value he has even he’s been a warm and cold player that’s been heathy scratched or long term injured every year he’s been in the nhl,not sure he’s a top 6 on most nhl teams. And we keep signing veteran 3/4liner ufas to 3-4 year deal with m-ntcs.
This is benning last season here (finger crossed) his 31st place team and empty area (again) will end him. The plug love will stop and hopefully ownership see then need a GM with a spine not a sniveling clueless puppet.
The only tradable players on this team are the ones that we can’t afford to move.
Trade from a position of strength so we can trade 4th liners and bottom pair d men.
Cant wait to see who we draft 4th oa.
Too bad the expansion draft isn’t this season we couldn’t lose a valuable asset if we tried.
