guntrix Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm asking the guy why he is so adamant that he's going to be a career 3rd liner and have yet to see his response. What assumption have I made here? It seems that I got your post confused with another one. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared McCan is a guy all Canuck fans should be excited is in the system, it's about time we build some depth. Wow sorry i wasnt paying attention. I didnt realize a typing mistake would make my points invalid. Where did i say we were a cup favourate? All i said was we are a better team this year with a true playmaking centre on our 2nd line and the addition of more depth. Please tell me who would have predicted the Rangers would win the east? or the habs would go as far as they did? Dont sit here and tell me its a forgone conclusion that we cant contend next year. im guessing you were not around for 94, when a bunch of blue collar guys and one star made it all the way to game 7.

That has worked so well for the oilers panthers etc.Jb is taking the right approach. still compete while slowly turning over the reigns to the youth.And yes id rather make the playoffs and not win the cup then never even have a chance. Guys like you im guessing have never played elite sports at a high level like some of us. losing the right way and getting valueble experience is how you learn to win. tanking for a draft pick is bush league and gives you no credibility.

N4ZZY Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I dont know why but why are always the trade rumors targeting Shinkaruk and not this kid... Shinkaruk>McCaan. Both have similar value i think? I know Shinkaruk isnt a Benning guy but hes so good. who says that Shink isn't a JB guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 who says that Shink isn't a JB guy? I think what he meant was that Shinkaruk wasn't drafted by Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I dont know why but why are always the trade rumors targeting Shinkaruk and not this kid... Because people won't let them die, despite the fact they were made up. Just like they won't let McCann's one comment die either. Time to get over it. I think what he meant was that Shinkaruk wasn't drafted by Benning. Horvat wasn't drafted by Benning either, yet he's the prospect JB first talked about.

Tangelos Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I don't think the it is what it is comment means he doesn't want to play here, but it certainly hints at a potential Kesler like ego. Most players drafted are just thrilled to be drafted, regardless of where it is they are picked. But the fact that Mccann thinks he deserved to be picked higher is a bit of a red flag IMO.

Perhaps, but the difference for me is that Kesler is 29 years old and has an ego whereas McCann is still only 18 years old. I think it's more telling that we are comparing Kesler to an 18 year old than the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta stop making jokes here, no one ever gets em :D I agree with the 20 goal statement. Although he may benefit from slightly better linemates, not sure who his line mates were last year. And possibly a little more icetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After barely making the playoffs. you may have perfect spelling BUT youre points are invalid. Homegirl, you need to throw some form of autocorrect on whatever device you're using and then learn the proper way to use words with multiple spellings. Since when is Bonino a "true playmaking center"? Of course there's a CHANCE the Canucks go on a run next year, every team has that chance but I wouldn't hedge my bet on it. Like I said initially, everyone has their own way of how they'd build a cup contender and I think adding a truly elite prospect to our organization is the way to do it. I'm gonna be a die hard fan whether they go winless, miss the playoffs by a point or go undefeated. Also both teams you mentioned going deeper then expected were in the East, we have to run through 3 tanks in Anaheim, LA and Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That same losing atmosphere that changed the Penguins, Blackhawks and Kings? The Avalanche look headed in that direction as well. Get real, if you're drafting the right guys that's how you win. And you can certainly find those guys all throughout the first and all 7 rounds of the draft but I'd take my chances drafting high. I'm sure you played sports at a suuuper high level there Milbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
