  1. He's an RFA in 2 years so the smart thing to do is see how consistent he is over this year and the next. No reason to rush a contract now.
  2. I don't get you. All you do is criticize the current line up. Why would you care about tomorrow?
  3. I do. And play sports much. Perfectly reasonable to believe the Canucks players are speaking truthfully.
  4. Again? They have the whole time and have repeatedly said that to the media. I think you're the one confusing things How easily you people forget
  5. Liking the Canucks practice lines, especially Burr on 3rd line with Kassian/Richards.
  6. Another Kassian type people gotta be patient with. He has the drive so a couple of years in the AHL will do him good
  7. for CDC it is not allowable for the canucks to be in a slump. ever. even though they are playing good hockey.
  8. Cue the MG hate/bandwagon panic in 3....2.....1...
  9. true but all of our prospects are along ways from being either Kane like players or solid NHL'rs. With Kane playng well I don't think WPG would accept anything less than at least 2 solid roster players and a blue chip prospect. Trading Kane is insane unless a trade makes the team better now. Basically any team would have to overpay to get him, but that is the price of doing buisness for a player like Kane
  10. Yeah but what makes you think WPG wants anything to do with un proven prospects? Jesus....
  11. ROFL Try Horvat + Tanev to even get WPG listening. You seriously think they are going to trade their young elite franchise power forward for B+ at best prospects and late draft picks? Hahahaha
  12. NYI must really want to make a push for the playoffs this year. Could go well or REALLY bad. If Vanek doesn-t re-sign that is a heck of a lot to give up.
  13. 1st game and limited minutes against a top NHL team and he didn't look out of place. Played strong along the boards and set up a couple of scoring chances. Showed that he has some tenacity and didn't shy away from STL's big players. IMO I think the coaches were happy with his play and hopefully can encourage more confidence and continued physical play from him. If he can keep it up I see him as that physical but strong on the puck 4th liner the line up needs
  14. OK I say give him another shot and see what he can do. I admit he started well with the Sedins last year and then faded. IMO the Sedins need a quick and strong on the puck up tempo player ala Burrows or Hansen. I really think that if Kesler continues to struggle then put him on the wing with the Sedins and see if Santo can Centre Burrows and another winger. Kesler focused on playing a puck retrieval game and shooting for the Sedins could be exactly what he needs to get going, and it would be similar to stacking a top line like CHI does with Toews and Kane. Secondary scoring however.....
  15. Unfortunately that doesn't work. The Sedins need someone who can retrieve the puck for them and cycle and or make room. Essentially they need another play maker or a sniper who can score in the slot. Kassian isn't that guy as much as CDC keeps on spouting on about it.
  16. Hasntt even been 10 games in yet people. I think MG is well aware that secondary scoring needs to happen, but hell wait for Burrows and let Torts have a bit more time to see what he can do. If it keeps up I guarantee MG will make a move, guaranteed. But the current team deserves a chance to play out of it.
  17. If you make the playoffs you always have a chance. The Canucks need the Sedins to make the playoffs. Whether or not the Sedins can perform in the playoffs remains to be seen, but I would rather role the dice with them then to intentionally lose to get draft picks. Look at how stacked PIT was on paper last year and how far did they get? I would rather see MG try and do his job and build the team where possible while staying competetive. The moral of the story is: Losing teams are no fun to watch. The playoffs are a crap shoot. High draft picks do not necessarily win you cups i.e. see FLA, EDM, or WPG (ATL). All have had high picks over the year and havnt won jack squat, muchless made the playoffs consistetly.
  18. Am I alone in saying that I'm just happy I get to watch Canucks games on TV at all?
