Honestly they're the only guys worth risking it for though. I really can't see us landing Karlsson though. Myers we have a small chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually capfriendly a roster the other day which involved Karlsson @ 10.5 x7 and Jeff Skinner @ 7.5x 7 with Edler re signing @ 7x3 and appropriate raises coming to the pepole who deserve them and it all fit with leway to resign Pete for an exorbitant number when the time comes.

How's a GM supposed to plan better for a blindside hit to a player's head? Pettersson has actually been surprisingly resilient and healthy given his age (experience) and size. And then still, on a future, better, more rebuilt team, with more puck possession, even some of those injuries will reduce as teams will be chasing us rather than vice versa. I don't know but it is probably not by signing more Motte, Madden, Artukin (is that his name, 5'1" 126#) Stetcher, Goldy, Dahlen, Leipsic, Beiga, Larson, Weber, Edited March 17, 2019 by lmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10pavelbure96 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Dont really understand your views OP. Ya its frustrating to see the team lose but rebuilding takes patience. What assets have we really lost? What has come back to bite us in the ass? Its clear you're a jb hater and are reaching. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love this kid. that was awesome! kinda reminds me of Gretzky and Broten, but with leg shuffles from both guys, and here I was watching the little guy get rubbed out on the end boards. Anyway, Larson. And I am not against small players, but where are you going to put them all on a 20 man roster? Vegas, Tampa and Winnipeg all have a couple of small players, but the Canucks lack balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 JB haters gonna hate. When Linden and Benning were hired, the mantra was get back to the playoffs (to be fair to the Sedins or something like that). Then it was re-tool instead of rebuild. Only when the Sedins officially retired did the Canucks commit to a rebuild. It's unreasonable to expect Benning to succeed when the goalposts keeps moving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we get someone to secure as many assets for Benning to draft with as possible. That wouldn’t be a bad idea would it thanks for your opinion. we’ll file it along with the other 9 thousand opinions that have hit cdc every year.

I disagree, I think they has tried to put together a reasoned argument with statistical evidence. I also think they is inexperienced in doing so. I think there are better ways to make the point, but it was a good try. Edited March 17, 2019 by lmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Fivehole0 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I give up haha. I'm just glad the negative nancies in this thread aren't in command of any NHL team. They'd rather keep the aging vets than make a trade for younger pieces. It's baffling, you guys just hate for the sake of hating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Okay I will play devil's advocate here and try and defend the OP. I don't think that we will be able to become a contender with JB managing our signings and resignings. Except for Bo Horvat, there is no one else jumping off the page at me as having a great contract on our team. You can find a few other good ones like Tanev and Edler but I don't believe that they were signed by JB. However seeing as we're still a year away from becoming a playoff contender, nobody should touch JB. Him and his team have been awesome at drafting and restocking our bare cupboards. If we don't make the playoffs next year then it's a fair conversation to have. Until then, I'm rolling with JB all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
