Chris12345 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I wouldn't blow it up. All they need to do is get rid of 4 bloated contracts and fix the d. Another game changer would be nice and if they miss the playoffs they could draft him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Ok what do you get with a new GM? Does it make it easier to move some bad contracts? No. Basically it puts Vancouver behind another 3-6 months or so when the new GM evaluates the team, and it's coaching. Why do we want Gallant? Might want to ask why two different teams dumped him the first chance they got first? Something is wrong with that picture. I'd have a talk with Florida and Vegas first and maybe not just the GM's but other organizational members. Im ok if Benning makes changes by letting go of Brown and Baumer first in the offseason. Make the moves that he can. If by the 1/4 mark of the next season the team is not playing better defensively and more consistently. Then fire Green. If the team misses the playoffs next season, then fire Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) You don't just simply blow up a team that's built through drafting, FA and trades for regulars, and which has so many cheaper contracts. The group below could probably be the future lineup (deliberately left anchors e.g. Eriksson, Sutter, Ferland, Goldobin, Baertschi and guys I don't really see as part of the team's long term future e.g. Stecher (want upgrade for him) and Toffoli (possibly priced out)) Miller (trade acquisition, $5 m) - Pete (1st round pick, ELC) - Boeser (1st round pick, $5 m RFA) Pearson (reclamation) - Bo (1st round pick, $5 m) - Jake (1st round pick, pending RFA) Roussel (UFA signing) - Gaudette (draft pick, pending RFA) - MacEwen (free agent signing) Motte (trade acquisition) - Beagle (UFA signing) - Hughes (1st round pick, ELC) - Tanev (FA signing) Edler (draft pick, $5 m) - - Myers (FA signing) Marky (trade acquisition) / Demko (draft pick) If they play to their potential that's actually a solid group, believe it or not. Just basically have 3 or 4 positions to hopefully upgrade (3rd/ 4th line RW, one of the RD which Stecher was and 3rd pair left D since Fantenberg hasn't worked with Myers). Hope this also shows that, if some luxuries are trimmed away (e.g. having 3 top-6 right wings, one of which is a UFA) and if the 4 anchor deals are gone, this team has a solid group in place.

BigTramFan Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 4 hours ago, the grinder said: blow what up a few support players that will be all phased out in 2 years and be replaced with young players.. didn't you listen to gmjb 7 young players will be playing on the roster in the next 2 years , sutter rousell beagle Eriksson baer edler benn will all be gone , hmmm 7 vets , besides that what 7 young players are ready to take those roles right now ? rafferty bailey lind and joulevi ?? I agree that losing Eriksson, Sutter, Baer, Beagle and Roussel is not exactly "blowing it up" it is simply moving on from older players as they age out (perhaps 1-2 years before their contracts were planned to end) but that is no big deal. Even trading Boeser would not be overly surprising as long as the return is worthwhile. I would prefer we keep Boeser tho. And I personally would hold on to Beagle and Rous for now as they provide veteran experience for the bottom 6. Sutter and Eriksson have been outplayed by Gaudette and MacEwen, and they should be moved on. My sense is that it will cost a lot more than everyone thinks in order to move these bloated contracts. I don't think LE or Baer will retire. I would like to be surprised, but I don't think they will. RW is going to be an interesting position because if we resign Toffoli it will be quite crowded with BB, TT, and JV. I'm not sure we can afford to be paying for that amount of RW talent. Again though, Pearson's contract ends after next season and, if he walks, TT could switch to 2LW to leave our second line as Toffoli - Horvat - Virtanen. There are many permutations possible. In terms of D, it is going to be interesting to see what happens with Edler and Tanev. Will Tanev be resigned for a few seasons to try and reduce the impact of losing both Edler and Tanev. Will JB resign Edler to a short term and lower value contract after his current contract expires? Or will JB look to move on? It will not be so easy to replace those two. Dumba is not the answer. Perhaps in 1-2 seasons there will be some consistent performers coming through from our prospects/reserves list. Otherwise JB will need to find a trade to bring in a #2 or #3 Dman that can log big minutes, play PK, stays healthy and preferably has some size to clear the crease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Blowing it up would be trading BB, Horvat and Miller for picks and maybe a young talented RHD .... and expecting QH and EP to carry the torch. It would be insanity. Guess one could argue TO blew it up and the lucked out with AM so it's possible it could work - but almost certainly all it would mean is we waste a good thing and re-set the clock to four years ago...and miss the playoffs 9 out of a 10 year period. Not going to happen. For better or worse this is the core we have (and Miller is part of it for sure), we still have some great prospects that should give the team a boost - and most of the placeholders will get replaced internally (not all - will still need a few UFAs to fill the roster out) in the next one-three years (and that's assuming LE doesn't retire or get traded, otherwise 1-2 years). What wouldn't surprise is in three years time Miller and Horvat get traded to move prospects behind Podz, Hogs, EP, Hughes and BB as a mini-re-tool - that's how good teams stay good longer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Would like to add: IF and When JB gets the boot - it's definitely a possibility that a rebuild will ensue again and only one or two key players will be kept. It's what happens.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just look at our bad contracts: Loui, Sutter, Rooster, Beagle, Baer, and (I think this one, because of the term, is bad too) Myers. To keep our actually good younger players we have to dump these contracts. That means using our prospects as sweetener. To me that’s terrible management. Linden left, because he didn’t like our direction (clearly this all comes from our owner wanting to win now) and now Bracket (who is the reason why we have good young players/prospects) is leaving too. IMO JB is following the owners philosophical directions that we didn’t need to tear down rebuild (so the whole retool with older guys softening the depth of the fall) and that after drafting Hughes, the retool was over. Now we are stuck with these older players, and to dump them we have give up our younger players. It’s kind of insane where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) That's what drafting players is though, collecting assets, either for playing or used as trades. How many Canucks prospects will actually make the team? One out of every ten? I have my doubts players like Lockwood, Palmu, Jasek and Gadjovich, etc. will actually make the team in the future. So, what do they do with them? Maybe they could package a player and a prospect or two to get a good Dman. The older guys (Eriksson, Beagle, Sutter and Roussel) still serve a purpose. They aren't that old and can still play. In fact, without them, I'd say the Canucks would be doing worse. Can't imagine a team filled with 22-23 year olds having a lot of success without the veteran players in support. I still think the issue is coaching. I wonder if Green even talks to the veterans, or if he just leaves them alone because he figures they should know better. He's a development coach. What great knowledge can he pass on to the veterans? Probably not much. Edited March 10, 2020 by NUCKER67 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
