spur1 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It is about time this happened. Jim was taking a lot of flak from the doubters but I am thinking he pretty much knew this was on the way and was being discussed. Life is good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs 2021. I dont mind a 1st rd exit in 2021 as that avoids our pick being in the lottery. Just imagine us barely missing the playoffs in 21 and tampa wins the cup, and also wins the lottery using our pick :O cuz thats canucks luck. Yea other than a cup... a miss next year isn't terrible.

Well no because if we make the playoffs this year Tampa gets that pick. If we miss they get it in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KanNuck Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Tbh not the biggest Benning fan nor a hater but fairly neutral. Glad to see he's able to stick around and see the team he's spent years with finally coming to shape and see what they can do as a unit. He inherited a mess and had to remain competitive for the veterans of the former core and it's nice to see after really only having a few seasons of rebuild through solid drafting, some trades and FA aquisitions (not always good) him being given the chance to win with us. I wish Ya all the best Jimmy and I am excited to see you grow as a GM and continue to learn and craft your trade. Here's to witnessing some playoff hockey in the not to distant future. Go Canucks Go!! Edited August 16, 2019 by KanNuck 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He forced ownership to extend him or he threatened to send Boeser back to Minnesota - where the Vancouver Canucks roots began. Watch, Boeser signs this week. lol Ok I have to quote myself because I think a few of you missed my sarcasm lol and BTW Tom Scallon (and group), the first owners of the Canucks, were based in Minnesota. Carry on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
