  1. It also trades draft picks away like it's a top 3 team.
  2. Every club has good players. Canucks top players don't touch what Oilers or Colorado have. So the surrounding cast needs to be much better. Yet outside of the top line, the Canucks are lacking everywhere. About 5 forwards and 3 D away from matching up against top teams. There's no cap space or prospects to fix these holes and once again, going into a draft with few picks. Maybe Demko can stand on his head and hide some of the warts on this team but after 10 years of failure I'm not expecting any miracles next season. Thats great that Hronek can put up points. Who on this team can actually play defense.
  3. The problem is not the player, or what you gave up for him. You can seemingly win a trade like the Canucks did by trading a 1st for Miller. However for me these trades aren't wins because they've resulted in... no results. So you gave up a 1st round pick to still suck. Miller was wasted in Vancouver. And the 1st round pick was wasted on Miller. If Hronek is part of a team that competes for a cup then it's a win. If Hronek is amazing but the team still sucks and he wastes away on a losing roster, then it's a loss. Vancouver has backed itself into a corner by going all in with a crap team. They can't rebuild now because of it, they're not bad enough. However they're also not good enough to compete. Have no prospects, no excess picks and no cap space. This is what I predicted the moment Benning signed Miller and Vrbata. This team is heading for the middle. Well, now we're here and we're screwed.
  4. Watching CDC turn on Benning after having fought against an army of his loyalists on here for years.
  5. What a weird take... Tanking works. They won cups because they sucked hard enough to get elite players then too, and traded for a bunch of 2nd round picks. Fanbase doesn't matter to winning. If god existed the Bruins wouldn't have won a cup in 2011.
  6. Canucks were absolute trash for 10 years. Now they're going to be stuck in the middle for 10 years. So hopefully in 2033 there's a different owner that will want to rebuild.
  7. That's the only think Canucks fans have had to look forward to for the last 10 years. Pretty sad. I'm cheering for Bo and Schenn to do well.
  8. Pro scouting has definitely improved 100% under the current regime.
  9. If things go according to management's plan, there'll be 2 playoff games a year for the next while.
  10. Canucks are one of the worst teams in the NHL all time in terms of winning. Benning had the worst run in Canucks history. We're supposed to be impressed that he landed some good young talent? That's what teams do when they suck. What he should have done is load up on draft picks so that Petey & QH have a strong supporting cast of other young players. On entry level contracts. That's how most Stanley Cups are won under the hard cap. Benning was trash.
  11. Every crap team in the league loading up on draft picks and the Canucks..... are doing the same crap for 10 years with same awful results every year. I used to get mad. Nowadays I find it hard to care. I'm in Vancouver right now and refuse to go to any games. I can't support this crap. Looking forward to the Blue Jays more than anything Canucks related for the first time.
  12. Canucks haven't had a good defensive defenseman since they got rid of Tanev. Guys that can't score are called defensive stay at home players, but it doesn't mean they're actually good at defense. Schenn was worth a 3rd because he's not very good. He's just very popular with fans and teammates because he hits and is a good leader.
  13. Damn I totally jinxed us.
  14. Yeah but Edler also played defense. Hronek is "a work in progress" at 25 years old in his own zone. With concussion issues and arbitration rights next year.
  15. Hronek is bad in his own zone with concussion issues. Provides offense but is that what's needed next to Hughes? Or was he brought in as a 2nd pairing guy for a king's ransom?
