cuporbust Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 A little spin on plus minus , what Is your plus/ minus list on the Canucks and what's your rating (plus - take away minus). Make a list of positive things about our team , as many as you want , then negative things. See what wins out jokes are welcome Post your list and score to see how negative , or positive you see the state of our team.

Winter Soldier Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Quote trade deadline showed some Managemet deficiencies When someone says 'well we should have taken anything for Vrbata, even a sixth round pick!' you know immediately that you never want that person on your side during a business negotiation. Quote GM seems unwilling to trade Miller while he has value after a good season No one wants Ryan Miller when they can invest more in a young goalie like a Robin Lehner or a Martin Jones.

It will be a complete waste of a year. -5 I have nothing positive at this time. -140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Big Picture - 70's & 80's were frightening like Linda Blair's bedroom + But then, the 90's 'til 2011 were two decades of mostly, damn exciting hockey - The Neely debacle + On the whole, I'd say Van has won the majority of their BIG deals(Nazzy; 2 big StLoo deals; Trev to NYI; Lu for Bert; etc...). I'd say trading is the greatest contributor for their 2 strong decades. - About 35 yrs of lame drafting(seems to be greatly improving) + Trev in '88 got us started. Bure, Ohlund, twins, Kesler, Schneids, Jannik, Bo..& the list appears to be trending nicely. - Lots of stiffs, which made one wonder how they found their way into "The Show". + A no-name like Burrows carving out a brilliant career, from what appeared no chance to even make it at all. - Never having lifted Hockey's "Holy Grail". + So MANY legendary names & memorable personalities to pull for. Roger Neilson, Pat Quinn, Trev, Pavel, the twins, Sneptsy, Babs, Ohlund, Capt Kirk, Burr, Jannik, Lu & others. Then in our hearts, remembering young warriors like Luc & Rypper. This team has meant so much to all the Province of BC. Win or lose, gotta love this team. Overall, + 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the guy peaked in his draft+2 year. 32 minutes ago, Winter Soldier said: I can't wait for 'asset management' garbage to blow over so people won't parrot this endlessly. I beg Tony Zamboni to photoshop a picture of Lamoreillo in a speedo with other GM's stuffing bad contracts and sixth round picks in his waste band. If that image doesn't end the love affair with "asset management" I don't know what will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
