[PGT] New York Islanders at Vancouver Canucks | Feb. 09, 2022
spook007 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Burroughs, Schenn, Hunt, Juulsen.... For all the slagging off of the team, lets get real here... If ever we had an less than stellar D-corps this is it... none of these guys are top 4 dmen, yet 2 off them playing as it, amd playing as well as they possibly can... Halak had a crap game... it happens. Honestly, what does folks expect? Miracles? They didn't start well, but with Demko in net, they would probably still be in the game after the first. Next..... -

Spot on.... Lets no forget the dirtbag move he did on Daniel, and ruined our chances for a decent cup run. He deserves, all he gets... -
Trading Elite Players in their Prime -- Are we expecting too much?
spook007 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
Think they worked together for 7 years already? Don't think their world will be miles apart in how they think the game and team building... probably one of the reasons JR signed him to be GM in the first place... Don't know if he is any worse or better than the other candidates, but the fact they worked together for 7 years prior to this, and that JR already has promoted him a couple of times suggests he trusts him, and have taught him in his images. And this alone should, for me at least ,hopefully be good enough to avoid the power struggle, we saw between Benning and Linden... -

spook007 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
Absolutely... They are unlikely to let him walk for free though, so the likelihood would probably small unless they know for sure he'll stay... Pending on offer there is a possibility for it to happen now at t/d, in the summer or next t/d, so they are, regardless of their stance, in no hurry to ship Miller out... -

True, tbh that is kind of, what he is saying... But I think he is indirectly saying, if you want our good players its gonna cost you, otherwise don't waste our time... Wither way he is not shutting down the option... -

This was always going to be the case... the minute he says, we need to trade Miller or Boeser, their value drops like a rock... The team wanting either player needs to know, they won't get them for free.... -
Pretty close James... I'm not even sure Hogz is out of the woods yet... If a deal for great D prospect or C prospect hangs in the balance, I could easily see a swap of young roster players happening involving Hogs... Agree with Petey, as his value is at an all time low just now, and if he recoups his swagger, he'd be too important to us...
-
We all were... these hindsight threads are really funny at times...
-
This is true... Like 95% of all fans he actually thought Petey would continue to play well... Had Petey continued his great play, Benning would probably still be the GM... Oh my.....

I'm not the one you should be asking... Its EP, who says he wants to win... I have a feeling, that if he is honest about that, he won't hang around for a total rebuild... Your guess is as good as mine... But if it is tanking for Bedard it would mean being one of the last two teams, which doesn't sound much like winning...
-
So you expect us to compete and win within two years?
-
And how that gonna fit in with EPs 'I wanna win' statement? He won't be interested in hanging around for a total rebuild.
-
... Hand up if you were one of the ones wanting to tank for Kappo, Lafreniere, Jack Highes, etc etc etc... and now wouldn't want to take any of them back for Miller ... Bedard is going to be a real Superstar, but with out draft luck, we'd be wasting our time trying to win the lottery...

Predict The Score Contest: VAN @ PHX Feb 8 2022

3-1 Canucks Boeser Just learnt Hughes is out with covid....sucks -

Nope that's wrong.. there was a lot of unhappiness about not drafting Tkachuk, but there was also a lot of understanding for drafting a defender as there was zero in the pipeline... As for not drafting Tkachuk, If he said during the interview, he didn't like Vancouver, do you still draft him? I don't know, why Benning didn't take him, but maybe they still thought Jake was enough or at least would become a player...? When he drafted Petey there was also a lot of anger... how did they look with egg on their faces? Easy to choose with hindsight... As for Bourdon, the point was, you never know, what's round the corner...its the same with injuries.

With Kesler I feel it was about getting something for a player, who did not want to stay. You could force him to stay, but its never good for the dressing room with players, who doesn't want to be there...
-
This.... maybe Virtanen could have been found out, but Juolevi was supposed to be the defender of the lot. How is this so hard to understand. With that kind of view you wonder if folks also think Bourdon (RIP) was a bad pick since he never got to play? Just don't get it... of Bennings faults his drafting wasn't one of them.
-
GMs don't have to cave under player pressure, but Jim did....? The last 8 years has been nothing but a massive complaint over not shifting players and get something in return. Here's a player, who doesn't want to be in Vancouver, and then you complain about him being shipped out? Which is it? On top of this imagine the reaction if we had to watch the down fall of Kesler here in VCR, a player who didn't want to be here, instead of getting a return, no matter how much it was...

Maybe have a few more draws as in insignificant, but yes tend to agree. Put up like this he won more trades than given credit for.

A Very Hypothetical Look at JT Miller's Production in the future
spook007 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
Panic would erupt, hot sweats all over the world, suicides, amageddon.... -
Think that train has left, with his age... but even a his pace, there is room for him on this team. We don't have anything close him... If he was fast, he make a heck of a lot more cash...

The way it should be...
