So you're saying a multimillion dollar franchise has to be accountable, and appeasable to 19 y/o's with talent? If MG was the least bit vindictive Cody 'buttboy' Hodgson would be spending time with the Wolves now. ----- To your point, it's not a matter of plug and play with young players, it's a matter of developing them within your system. I'd far rather have a player make his first impact at 22 as opposed to 18/19, as they would have adapted to our system and know how to play pro hockey. Anyone can bring up the example of Jeff Skinner, because it is so cut and dry, but what about the case of Cam Fowler - a guy who was dominant his rookie year, but has all of 8 points this year and a collective -60 for his 3 year NHL career. The Canucks are in the process of developing players, not breaking them.

Jordan Staal was taken 2nd overall in 06', his expectations were already high. O'Reilly was just a nice surprise for the AVs.

Well... Wolves are effed. You'll like Switzerland, Arniel.

Islanders are in a playoff spot...

He's got another year in junior before he can attend the AHL. Abbotsford being moved is purely speculation, a lot of dominoes have to fall in place.

How to stop my dog from attacking my Roomba?

Thrilled we didn't acquire a 3m contract with all of 0 goals this season.

Gaunce, wearing that # 16 in the red, yellow and black, remind you of someone? Seriously though, I'd like this team to have a real captain again. Nothing against Henrik, he's just not the kind of guy who's going to put a team on his back, and Luongo prior to that was just a publicity stunt. Not saying Gaunce will be a Canuck captain, but you can't doubt that leadership!

NOW THERE'S A F----ING CAPTAIN

Only the ladder is real... the climb is all there is.

YAY 1,000 rep, my life is complete.

He'll for sure get the summer invite, though when it comes to the December camp he definitely has to have a productive fall. This past fall, he struggled a bit, and was injured in November, so he didn't get much of a look. I fully expect him to be on Canada, possibly at 3C. This is of course dependent upon which top prospects in this years draft make their respective NHL teams. If it's the case that MacKinnon, Drouin, Shinkaruk,and Monahan all are reassigned to junior then the hill is that much harder to climb. Add to that MacDavid (sp?) as increased competition.

Damn, they went with the Argentine... I was so hoping for a pope that speaks English.

OMG White smoke! New pope! So excited!

If Canucks lose to Columbus again, AV better be canned.

'Snow White and the Huntsman' was more LOTR than the Hobbit.
