i hate to say it but welfare is a joke , I worked on a project across the street from a welfare office I don't know many people would roll up in a nice expensive car park down the block ,, put on a grubby shirt change the 200 dollar nikes , take the watch off ,hide the iPhone and stroll into the good ole welfare office , the whole welfare systems needs a overhaul to stop this abuse of the system

patience people need to be a lil more patient with the team . the team is going in the right direction but still needs to add a few pieces and remove a few pieces in the next year or 2 -

it is simply a lottery protected pick if the season is cancelled and there is a lottery draft for all teams , it is still a lottery pick so the canucks have the right to retain or give up the pick,

5 years to trade for who miller? toffoli ? to trade for those guys it would of been bo Horvat for any of those guys plus we were handcuffed by the no trade contracts gillis handed out ( like loungo contract that's haunts us for 2 more years) and no prospects ,, kinda hard to make trades when a certain player kesler has control where he wants to go , or like hamhuis that refused no wave his NTC. desperate to make the playoffs , well every gm should be desperate to make the playoffs ,, that is the point of playing the game to win , so we gave up a 1st ,2nd and madden for miller and toffoli (we still have our 3rd ) and if we miss we still have a 1st and our 2 best prospects still in hog and podi guddy we did need a big tough dman , but he didn't work out , he also didn't work out in pitts , so ya good on jim correcting a mistake ya I am stuck in the now better than being stuck in the past , , and now we are in the thick of a playoff race , isn't that improved in 4 years ? when is the last time the canucks have played meaningful games ? oh ya 5 years ago if we don't make the playoffs , sure I will be disappointed but we get our 1st round pick back , and the young core played some meaningful games chasing a playoff spot , and then you can keep going on about giving up a 1st rounder for another entire year

lol that makes no sense at all , how else are you going to make a trade? either with picks or players again a 1st round pick for 1st line production with miller , at a reasonable contract , pearson for guddy got something out guddy , toffoli again a top 6 player for a 2nd and madden , do you want winning or losing and draft picks

funny you should mention the sedins in your comment , because those 2 took just as long to develop as jake has or have you conveniently forgotten that too , yep those guys with their number retired were once just like jake , took 4 years before the sedins figured it out , those euros like palmu a 4th rounder or is it petey,s buddy that bolted back to Europe from san jose , big deal a 4th rounder didn't work out , you make it like we missed out on the next Crosby or something, now it is coaching ? lol torts was hired by gillis/ ownership , willie was hired by linden/ ownership /benning , green was hired by benning and groomed in the ahl just like a draft pick , yep 4 years of losing that happens when you are rebuilding how else are going get hughes falling in your lap .right?, how long did Edmonton lose for 9 years ? buffalo 6 or 7 years ? nj 5or 6 years , you cry about losing , bitch about drafting , whine about a trade for a 2nd leading scorer , cry again for trading a 2nd and Madden for Toffoli at the trade deadline , and here I thought you wanted a winner but clearly you just want draft picks and losing so I guess next it is the trainers or the doctor fault because marky got hurt or ferland concussions issues , or pot city for trymakin leaving

so kinda like gmjb picking petey right" the off the board pick ", Madden again , come on podi and hoglander are much better , yep benning found a gem in the 3rd round that had value as a trade chip that didn't fit with the team going forward. , all of 150 lbs of him , we have enough smaller players . so then what is it , GMJB drafts off the board gets some good picks (petey ,hoglander boesser trymakin ) not good enough , then a bad gm for trading one drafted player (Madden) . then a monkey pushing a button for drafting hughes , then blamed for a player that took 4 years to develop (Virtanen) and finally a player that was drafted that ran into injury problems( like a gm can predict that ) , or is it not being able to develop players in Utica ,Like big mac , rafferty or lind ,

lol I like how you spin every thing or is it just dis regard everything and make things up , I said in the next 2 years 7 young players will be playing so that is 3 or 4 players each year , not 1 , even this year hughes guadette big zack have played games this year so that is 3 players , lol at your bad drafting , so your expecting a gm to hit on 4 nhl players a draft and have them in a lineup with no development time, 3 calder finalist and we are bad at drafting ,lol , every year young players have been added to the roster and being developed, and developing takes times , look at the hughes brothers , quinn plays a extra year of college and get a few games at the end of the canuck seasons , jack is thrown on NJ roster , quinn has been developed better than jack has, ,
