Of you have enough superstars in you side you can always use them as trading chips...
-
Agree 100%.... I wonder, if it was their way of tanking all along, while using Bruce as their fall guy. I even wonder if they have a behind the scenes agreement with Tocchet, to evaluate and introduce the systems he wants to use, but go easy on the win column... Yeah probably not, but it would make sense, to get the best odds for the future... How else are we going to get the superstars, PA was saying we didn't have?
-
First part I agree 100% with. Concerned they will play a little better for their jobs, and we'll end in the same mire as under Green... As for the second part, hmmm pot meets kettle? It could have been dealt with better. Bbs sacking Shouldn't have been played out in the media I don't know if ' too much positive feeling' is the reason, and I have no problem with the coach change, tbh atm we are going nowhere, and something has to happen. PA said at the start of his tenure, that Vancouver had no true superstars, which is probably true. But unless you draft them, how do you get them? They say one thing and does another... we'll see...

When they started their tenure, they want to achieve cap space. Instead they signed Brock, Mika and Miller.. It was blatantly obvious that the D sucked, but the did very little to address it... They made the decision to sign Miller, knowing very well it likely would mean losing Horvat (bad gamble that has back fired). And then going out in the press several times putting the knives into Bruce tenure, while actively looking at replacements, basically making Bruce a dead man walking. They are in no way any better behaved than Benning. The anger of their treatment of Bruce is real, and dare I suggest that PA already is on his 7th of 9 lives with the fans because of it. They better hope Tochet does a fantastic job, or the knives will be out quickly...

Spot on.... enough of the rinse repeat... Main concern just now, is the team going on a tear and pick outside the lottery ticket places... we won't get rid of Myers for at least another year, so might as well go as low as possible to draft some future stars. this years top 3 looks very good and Bedard could definitely help turn any franchise around. Hopefully somebody upstairs gets the bright idea of actually turning this franchise into a winning one.... we have plenty of participation ribbons...

It was pathetic, the way it was all handled... Needless to say PA will be on his 7th of the cats nine lives because of it with the fans.. If this doesn't go well, it won't be long before the fans start calling for PAs head at the games... You know what? The position of the team is just about as bad as anything under Bennings tenure... So maybe get over your chum Dahlen... he couldn't hack it. And Eriksson just sucked ass...
-
Are you not concerned, that after driving themselves into a position, to at least get a favourable draft pick at the end of this garbage season, they end up ripping that up now? The first thing PA said, when he started, was Canucks don't have any superstars.... Now here there is a chance to change that and knowing the Canucks, we'll now be picking 13th or 14th just outside the sweepstakes for the top three... How are we ever going to get these superstars, if we don't draft them?

Until management/ owners let the ship sink properly, we won't get a player like Dach... -

On a side note, and while it could all have been handled better leading up to it, I actually like the fact, Bruce got a fantastic sending off, from all of the fans at Rogers. He even mentioned it in his post game presser, that the memory will live with him forever.... We all knew, he was a dead man walking, and only the future will tell, if management chose the right man / path forward, but Bruce days were numbered. I would have been more disappointed, if he had been called by JR and told to pack his bags out of the blue, without the fans getting a chance to say their good byes to a very popular coach. -

Please be so.... Big changes needed, and with that a great draft position needed as well... Now is the time, to let the ship sink. -

Hope they don't... Want the ship to go down like Titanic... Time to suck for Bedard... or at least a top 3. -

Hope you're right. Last thing we need this season is moral victories. -

That's how I've felt about it for some time... add in some half arsed back checking, line changes, declining to clear the space infront of the crease, standing up for each other or for their goalie... There is a fragile mentality amongst a lot of the players. Where's the fight and spirit and emotions.... they've given up and checked out a long time ago. Just hope a coaching change won't give them yet another bump... Need a high draft pick to give Petey some serious hep in a few years. Even if JR/PA don't believe in draft picks. -

And yet spot on... They can feel sorry all they like, but winning coaches don't get the sack... They could have played better for him... PS. Poorly constructed team. Unless you can defend, you'll never win anything. -
