That one hit California the hardest an hour and a half ago.  7.1 this time.....

The Earth is trying to remove "the virus".

How awesome would it have been if he said to her, "Well, while you're down there, just in case it is "the big one..." 

This is what I don't understand. Is it not the player, or are they afraid of the dollar amount?

For years on CDC there was trade proposals for Myers. Now that he's a UFA everyone is against signing him.

Is it because Jake got 52 points two years ago? Because Myers got 36, but 9 of those were goals. 

Is it the 1 year age difference? 

Or is the real fear if we sign Myers the team will give up on Tram? 

the issue is term and how long his career will be relevant. the amount is part of it, but mostly because of the cap crunch we will be it and will get further into. it has nothing to do with the player.  4yrs at 6 mil would be alright because when petey and hughes get big pay checks, edler and several others will be off the books. 

Benning's due diligence suggests he should at least kick the tires. But if other teams are throwing insane amounts at UFA's, let the other GM's cut their own throats. 

The Canucks twitterverse had a GD aneurysm when the trade went down. I thought it was a decent trade. Sucks the 1st is gone but the guy is 26, plays all forward positions, plays in all situations. But nnoooo everyone knows better. 

Pick not being lottery protected is the only thing that bothers me (probably 50/50 chance we don't/will make the playoffs).

^ The pick is lottery protected.

Just because they were up against the cap and had to deal him doesn't mean that they wont miss JT Miller the player. We gave up a 17-31 OA pick, a nothing goalie, and a 3rd for a top 6 player with size on a good contract for 4 more years. You hope the 1st rd pick turns into a JT Miller in 5 years time.

@I.Am.Ironman - If the pick given up is actually between 17-31OA, then I have no problem with this deal. The problem is that if we miss the playoffs next year and the year after, there is always a chance that we lose a lottery pick in 2021. That is a big risk, particularly since this team has not yet shown it is playoff ready. Hopefully Miller helps us get there, but until it happens, this is a very risky deal.

The likelihood of missing playoffs each of the next 2 years is pretty low given our trajectory and prospects now transitioning to NHL. If we make the playoffs one of the next 2 years then the highest pick we give up will be 17thOA. Making a (reasonable) play for Myers or Ristolainen makes a lot of sense now.

If it's in some sort of operations/business  roie Im more than fine with it.  Has a ton of experience at the pro level.  Pretty much the same feelings I had with a possible Gillis return.  

who the heck is this Andrew Walker

So is Lebrun... 

Gardiner isn't a superior defensive player in comparison to my dead grandmother.

Nope. Rebuilding teams shouldn't be coughing up their top ten picks.

I was expecting they would riot - because you know, they are famous for doing that.

And then Vancouver does it for their finals loss.

Boo Hoo for Boston,they bought themselves a Worlds Series last year,they won the Superbowl more times than can be believed,and they were as cocky as usual figuring they would win the Stanley Cup  Again.

I love seeing cocky attitudes put in their place and loved that a team won their first Stanley Cup

Congratulations again to the ST. LOUIS BLUES.

@6string Did you forget about the Sabres?  Both 1970 teams.

Never say never! St Louis was dead last in the NHL January 2nd. They got hot at the right time and finally broke free. It WILL happen for the Canucks.

SabreFan1...My bad, our expansion cousins. In about 3 - 4 years we'll be meeting the finals !

Smithers Joe isn’t a Sith.

T. Gallagher.....

Haters: “I love this team, but I hate everything we’ve ever done and I hate the jerseys/logo”

Bashing for the sake of bashing is ridiculous.  Benning is a decent GM, but he has definite weak points.

I want him to stay in the job for another couple years because he's a top notch young talent evaluator and that's exactly what the Canucks need right now.

I'd like ownership to get a Pres. of hockey ops that can pick up the slack with Benning's weaker points.  Unfortunately Linden wasn't that guy.

Acciari and Johansson walk.

Simple.

Heinen is expendable. Johansson is the odd man out

Idiots are everywhere Have you seen the suckerpunch videos?

Saw that too like come on. Toronto fans really don’t have any room to talk to us about rioting anymore. 

@NewbieCanuckFan McCann was a 1st round pick. The graph is about teams success in the 3rd-7th rounds. 

If I remember correctly - From 2010-2018 the Vancouver canucks have only had 7% of their 2nd round+ picks turn out to be NHL players. It's like 28th or 29th in the NHL. 

Already in (10 game mark)-    Tryamkin, Forsling and Gaudette

High potential to make it-   Brisebois, Madden, DiPietro, Rathbone, Lockwood and Jasek

Probably starts with Virtanen and Hutton and then a pick somewhere

Value isn't bad but honestly I'd stick with our guys. I'd say its definitely a fair deal though. 

Should they want Brock, no problem. 5 first rounders + some other stuff. 

why would we wanna trade boeser the kids all heart  

Only if you have been sniffing glue ,do you do this deal.

Is Marner a 10.5 million dollar player,NO HE IS NOT!

Let Toronto try and keep him and implode.

Marner’s just 22 and scored 94 points in 82 games and is only getting better. How is he not worth that??

I hope the next CBA offer sheets get nuked. Because no one is using them. All it creates inflated contracts. 

And good luck if you ever want to make a trade with that team. 

That’s fair. I’d like to go for Killorn as well if he wouldn’t cost much. I was looking at Miller since he’s still decently young and is a RW. 

I think so.... decent size and contract for 40-ish point player. Could play with either Bo or Petey. 

Yes JT can score 20 goals if utilized right and would be a good fit with Bo

@Wilbur I think their goal is to get younger and faster. They certainly get younger with Zucker but not sure about faster. 

Zucker has blazing speed. 

Swirlin' gossip of Kessel for Zucker

Racy humour, like a southbound trucker

Still paid as a Leaf

Brings petulant grief

Chubby Phil, is one lazy *ucker!

Joe Thornton the loser...

Remember when that slime did this:

Injuries did them in at the end imo 

Boo Hoo Joe,time to take your hillbilly beard and your finger pointing into retirement.

I thought these guys were actually going to win the Cup because of all the breaks the refs gave them,and I am glad they lost. Got no respect for that tool THORNTON,after that classless finger in the face move to a Hall Of Fame great player like Henrik Sedin,

Other day, was very harsh on puck media..but don't mind IMac. Think he's reasonable, insightful & balanced.

i saw the article pop up on twitter and was like oh god he's going to get ripped

i’ld rather have mckeown. 

I’d be open to it if Nashville doesn’t want much and by the sounds of it, they just want to clear cap space. If they want a package including the 10th overall then forget it. 

I'd rather just sign Karlsson as a free agent tbh.
