  1. Spoiler

     

    in summer isles tampa or wings should have cap to take  sedins and edler if we retain half of one of sedins salary    first and a cap dump salary and a decent younger player for all three   then go hard for alzner in free agency  trade tanev for a first and good prospect   sped up rebuild

        why not  they have cap space sedins are 50 point players   theyd be perfect 3 rd liners on a wings cup run  better than the plugs wings have on their 3rd and fourth lines  

    3. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      Let's say we had the cap space. Would you want one or two 7 million dollar players for your third line? Besides, the wings aren't gearing for a cup run. They aren't even a playoff team.

      Cup run and Wings don't belong in the same sentence, unless it's to identify that they aren't going on one for awhile.

    looks like lineup  to start season  this defense and tending tandem look horrible   guddy and stecher  are only guys id keep  hopefully  im wrong and they all have decent yrs up their trade values 

     

    utica looks like lineup should be great  lind gaz juolevi dahlen demko  mceney

      @Baer. I think that the OP's idea of what the lineup should look like.

      Excellent lineup.  I expect to see this Travis!  

    4. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      Like the lineup, but I'd look at Leipsic over Granlund right now. Wouldn't be surprised for both of them to miss some games as a scratch and trade games with each other.

  3.   hope caps bury pens tonight i want caps to win a cup 

     

     perfect world semi finals  sens vs caps  blues vs ducks or oilers

      im hoping caps can win this yr. oilers are doing way better than id ever thought possible  draisatl and mcdavid are unreal.

      sutter, tanev, baertchi  any way sedins on third libe means inreality wed have 3 amazing lines one grinder line

      That's fair. I thought you were talking about Horvat and Virtanen.

    4. canuktravella

      canuktravella

       no but horvat will be 23 virt 21 mcann will be 2 yrs bulked up as well watch out

  5.   shattenkirk  for tanev and etem and third  do you think that would be a decent trade. he provides much more offense   would help our pp 

    only a yr older than tanev as well

     

    edler shattenkirk

      Tanev's really underrated and isn't a pending UFA.  Edler-Shattenkirk could give up a lot of goals.

    3. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      Apparently Shattenkirk is overrated and did not too much in the playoffs last year.

    4. canuktravella

      canuktravella

      ok fair enough but 40 point dmen are wat canucks need  any other dmen we can trade for im all ears? maybe vatanen 

  6.  benning  is trading for plumbers just like gillis did unbelievable, vey for a second rounder fail soft center cant win a draw,  prust oldvet for young partier powerforward and a fourth, forsling  ppqb for clendenning (waiverwire dman) 

    trades a second for pedan leaves him in minors even tho hes faster skater and mean and hits which d corp is missing   asset management at its  best wow!!!! 

      watch  shinkaruk score 30 next yr for another bottom 6 center who cant win a faceoff   careeer numbers 43%  failll on epic portportions

      i love vey and believe he'll be a very good pro...so many opinions.

    3. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      Granlund's not some plug. He's been widely regarded as a good to decent NHL player, which still some upside. He is capable of being offensively gifted while being defensively sound.

       

      Even Calgary fans praised his game, during the trade.

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      plus we may get rodin back for next year...people are too quick to judge...i know, i was critical of the baertschi trade but he is looking more like a player all the time...hopefully they can teach etem the art of scoring...

  7.  benning hired a lame duck coach guys clueless in bigs i can see him being fired in next month if this keeps up. hope they can trade burr, dorsett, hamhuus, edler,vrbata, hammer, miller  max our our draft pucks and get a top five stuf like puljujarvri and more d depth

    1. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i wish i had your ability to determine if the coach is good or bad...

      i think parity and the mix of players could have something to do with it...lots of teams have struggled this year...we have a lot of young guys in our line up...people wanted that, so there will be growing pains...

    2. canuktravella

      canuktravella

      to many men penalties, cutting our best players in 3rd, playing defensively on 3on3  special teams predictable all yr no change up thats all bad coaching 

  8.  canucks prospects are so much more deserving of spots than some of the vets  benning better start making 2-3 trades (sbisa, burrows, dorsett, etem, biega all need shipping out)    even ruutu is outplaying these guys who seem way to comfy with their contracts 

     

    sedin sedin eriksson

    baertchi horvat rodin

    virtanen sutter hansen

    gaunce granlund ruutu 

    burrows as 13th forward unless benning cant ship him out labate as first callup

    next yrs team minus miller ruutu and trade obe left d

    add in juolevi, boeser, demko  

  9.  canucks shedule is brutal rest of yr we might only get 3-4 wins rest of the yr   only teams that might not pass us are flames, toronto and jets the way they are playing but maybe they will pass us as well  

  10.  could canucks trade tanev and tampas 2nd  for 3rd overall then trade for ducks cap dump of bieska  if ducks give us a second.

    Then draft heisenaen, glass  resign horvat and lose sbisa to expansion  i could handle bieska back for a yr

      According to their website, they have 16 forwards and 6 defense. I think it wouldn't take an overpayment.

      I think the return is going to be underwhelming, maybe surprisingly so.

       

      Thy can't even get Heiskanen? Not $&!#ting on him but it says a lot.

  13.  Everyone needs to chill   us getting a top ten pick in draft is great   gives our  future core another good piece. We havent drafted any dmen other than hutton and subban that ive been excited about since edler and ohlund. Its time to build from defense up  our center depth is stacked (sedin sutter mccann horvat cracker)  regardless of sedin  injury send mccann to world j is right thing to do. 

  14.  feel like canucks  are taking hard look at landeskog

    my off limit players  are boeser, virtanen, juloevi, lind, petersson, demko, horvat, chatfield. make up a package benning

      You still can do better than that. Or maybe this is your zenith. Only you and your empty soul know for sure. 

  15.  good things about this yr

    horvat 40 point second yr  needs to play 3rd line center a healthy sutter helps next yr 

    hutton 25 points needs to work in summer on strength speed and increasing his shot % 1percent in net needs to go up

     mccann 18 points needs to gain muscle in summer  guys gonna only get better

    baertchi 28 points   benning won this trade  fits nicely in top 6

    hansen 22 goals beasting his trade value is all time high 

    markstrom  and miller  shine most of yr with worst d corp vans ever had 

    stole us games with plus  90 percentile save percentage

    top 3 draft pick fingers crossed puljujarvi woot woot 

     

     Bad things with yr 

     

     worst scoring canuck team in history let that sink in

     

    bad coaching  line changes, 3on3 losses, daniel killed  it at all star game 3 on 3 why not in reg season weird ehh  horrible powerplay, bad team systems that teams know how to exploit.

    coach playing weber, bartoski, vey, dorsett way to much reslting in massive losses but plays a solid pedan or gaunce 5 mins a game if that. bad coaching fire the lot. no one like favouritism.

     

    vets no getting job done vrbata, hamhuis, weber, barto, prust, higgins were god awful waste of 18mill in cap 

     

     a scoring shinkaruk in ahl traded for a 4th line center that doesnt win faceoffs  faill 

     

    not trading expiring vets for any late draft picks  you cant tell me we couldnt get a 3rd rounder for hamhuis or a 4th for vrbata

      Baer.

      Why would Hamonic want to play in edmonton? He is a pending UFA so he won't be traded. Who's to say the team at 4th wants Eberle? 

    3. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      What Baer said, Hamonic may want to come out west but I sure as hell doubt he's interested in Edmonton.

    4. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Hamonic's NOT a pending UFA. He's signed to a great-value contract.

  19.  jets beating wild helps tank  we will be i  fifth if score stays 

     

    bluejackets and flames and jets should pass us  fingers crossed leafs oilers are that bad so its doubtful  we will have a good chance to come 3rd or 4th kings will come out flying next game they need to clinch division over ducks

      Our last game against the Flames will be very important too, if we win one game out of our next three against the Kings and Oilers x2, that'll probably be the difference between being 6th last and 4th last 

    3. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      With the Mother-Duckers winning, they edge 1 pt ahead of the Queens(top in Pac), so the Queens have a lot on the line.

       

      Fine if we lose tomorrow.

      There was speculation about Stamkos because there was a difference in negotiations. Tampa had enough talent to sign that they had to be careful especially with Stamkos' health problems. That isn't the case with Benn. He is too important for the Stars to low ball.

       ya but if he decides he wants to go to free agency and canucks got him wed be unstoppable 

  21.  our young core is starting to look promising  hutton, stecher, tryamkin, pedan, subbann, saunter, olson on d

     maybe puljujarvi or laine, boeser, horvat, mccann, virtanen, gaunce

    markstrom, demko 

     

    not to bad   if we get one legit right hand d  for ppqb like hamonic   and a big mean power forward like lucic this team will be scary 

     

    please benning do not resign weber, hamhuis or bartoski they are weak and provide no offense whatsoever  for a combined waste of 7.75 mill in cap  9 goals scored by all three doesnt cut it  anyone thinks thats acceptable has no clue

    all the while screwing edmonton  draft the best dman heiskanen or liljegren

    going forward.  trade tanev amd sutter for draft picks and pick a sniper

    sign horvat guddy to long term extensions before u offer  sheet draisatl  this team  would be crazy good

      EDM would still probably match, and i hate the idea of offer sheets because we dont know if draisatl would even amount to what he's doing in EDM right now. the only offer sheet that i really know where team A tried to eff team B was the kesler one and that worked out great for us, to match it

    3. JM_

      It would cost us 4 1st round draft picks, thats why. With that we can get a LD for free over the next 4 drafts.

      Let the Oilers keep their assets and put our faith in JB that he'll build a better team then the Oilers. 

  23.  So so one please explain to me why do we call up players from utica and never use them i get it that they are rewarding holm with  a big league pay cheque for a few weeks but dont you wanna see how this guy plays in big leagues cant be worst than hutton, stecher, delzotto or pouliot.    goldobin was our best forward last night goal and  a assist plays ten minutes whys he not playing 20. Things like this have to come from gm it must be a stealth tank because really sedins in overtime is that the recipe to win or lose. To me its a big fat intentional loss  which im ok with because id rather finish bottom 3  then bottom 9 at draft.

    Also who else wants to see weircoich up here at some point i sure would like to get a view of his play he hits and was decent at camp

    1. Joe_Kerr

      Joe_Kerr

      I think the thing with Holm was he needed to learn the systems and all the jazz. It would be real tough to come up into the NHL with a team you've never practiced with before
