foozer Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Lots of reasons id say pressure of a canadian market where we are actually expected to win, possibly fragmented dressing room, or weather? Havent always shown loyalty to resign players we should have in the past ( Bure, Morrison, Mitchell, Gelinas, Ronning, Aucoin, not to mention trading the most popular player and best human being in the history of our organization after stripping him of the C and handing it to that stiff from the potato chip commercials). And thats not even mentioning the goalies that have came and went since Mclean. I live and die with the Canucks but totally understand atheletes going to sun belt teams where you have mountains of cash, anonymity and loads of beautiful women.

ConnorFutureGM Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Probably because the Vancouver Vanuck fan base is too rabid. Canucks fans love you one day, hate you the next. Canucks fans want you on their team if you're from BC but if we find out what church your parents go to Canuck fans are going to vandalize it. Canucks fans may have zero Stanley Cups but already have two riots gaining world publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebabychisback Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Variables holding back signing with Vancouver: -"Sedin" salary cap. -AV favourite, Kesler, will always play ahead of you. -AV favourite, Bieksa, will always play more minutes than you. -Raymond will play more than anyone. -AV will throw you under the bus for underperforming when injured, unless if your name ends with Sedin, Kesler, or Bieksa. -If you're under 25, forget about it.

Sidney Crosby. Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 As much as it would be nice to get a Suter or Parise, the Canucks just don't have cap room and have already built there team through drafting and trading. I think Vancouver is a much more attractive place to come to then it ever has, but that's what a few winning seasons will do to any franchise. Maybe in a few years when the twins get a bit older we might get a chance to run at a big FA, but right now it doesn't make too much sence. I'm plenty happy with getting Garrison, Hamhuis, Malhotra, etc. And Luongo was not a FA signing... (OP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 People have to get over this idea that the fans have any significant impact on free agent signings. Money, travel, a chance to win, family considerations; these are all high priorities on any UFA's list. The actions of the fanbase is far down the list of important considerations. Canuck fans have to stop giving themselves so much credit, be it positive or negative. You just aren't as important as you think you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Now, ask yourself, "Is Hamhuis a big name player?". If you're answer is yes, then I don't know what to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L'Orange Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Because they know the Canucks are hopeless and that they will never win a cup with this team. LOL. Just telling it like it is. Face it, this team is pathetic and its going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
