This hits the nail on the head.

 

Benning has used his picks and trades to acquire offensive talent... even Hughes as a D-Man was picked for his offensive ability.

 

With the exception of Myers, there has been very little effort put into acquiring really solid 3/4/5/6 position D-Men... Benning has scraped around the bottom of the barrel instead to pick up guys like Hamonic and Benn.

 

Look at Winnipeg... their D Roster has always been a strong point... even with getting rid of Trouba, Myers, etc. they still have a set of big talented guys back there.

 

D wins Cups.

The Jets are also coach by a more experienced Coach but moving forward, the Canucks (IMO) still seems to match up well against them.

I don't know why everyone is so upset, it's been obvious from the start of the season that this team is the second to worst team in the division. Every other team has a core that is in it's prime, while the Canucks core is a year or two away.  The bubble playoffs were an anomaly. Other teams had success finding some complimentary pieces, the Flames signing Marky and Tanev, Yamamoto with Edmonton, etc. The Canucks were hamstrung by the flat cap and bottom six contracts, but honestly the worst thing JB did during the offseason was spending too much time trying to find cap room for OEL. He has an awful contract, and I don't know why he would spend more than two minutes considering it. This team will be better next season, once Hogs, Olli, Demko, and Mac have a season under their belts, once Pods has arrived and gotten some seasoning. Maybe JB can get Tryamkin to come back to Vancouver, and once some of the big contracts are gone he'll have some cap space. Hopefully the Canucks get a good top five pick, maybe one who is NHL-ready. So relax, I'm confident the team will be considerably better next year. This wasn't our season and honestly I didn't want to win this season, because this is an asterisk year due to the shortened schedule.

How are people still thinking coaching and bottom 6 aren't a problem. 

Agreed. Which means blame is on JB and Green with an assist by the NHL for the Luongo recapture. Such much cap not being used or useless when 6 million of it is...

no

the next Hamhius/Tanev experience

I'm not sure what the 'Hamhuis experience' was aside from being reluctant to be rented and then lowballed to hell because it was relatively known he had a list as small or smaller than Kesler's.  

 

Do you think we should have re-signed Tanev?  Renting him obviously wasn't an option / not a parallel to the Hamhuis situation...

I'll take Green over Maurice every time.   I like  Maurice - he's funny, he's got some edge, he's a 'player's coach' but I'd prefer Green regardless - and think the Jets missed a few big opportunty seasons recently passed...

Yes, he should have been re-signed... but with no no-trade clause.  And then traded after two years.

 

Would have been 1.5 million per year cheaper than signing Schmidt... who would not be needed.

 

Also they should have re-signed Oskar Fantenberg for a year... yeah he wasn't great in the playoffs, but most of last year he was better than Benn... and he was mean.

Calgary gave him an NTC so they've outbid you.

 

I still would have made the Schmidt deal whether they signed Tanev or not - and moved cap elsewhere to make it happen.

 

I like Fantenburg - I have no idea why no NHL team signed him - he's easily an NHL roster defenseman imo (or at least was last year).

The entire team is accountable, they win and lose as a group

 

Singling out Bo and jumping on his back because he's got a C on his chest is gross, I've always hated how quick fanbases are to lynch their captains 

   ya captains get held accountable its just the way it is  anyone not named petey or hoglander  tonight should be bag skated til they puke

Canucks could have signed him... you are forgetting the hometown discount... no one likes to move... and Calgary isn't exactly a destination.
