We all know the issues and what needs to be done, but trying to fast-track a fix can lead to more problems. They want to take their time, do it right. I can appreciate that. Benning got us into this situation with 'quick fixes' not sure thats the way out. Maybe all thats reasonable this TDL is some small depth moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand not making a trade simply for the sake of making a trade, but considering the state of limbo our franchise seems to be stuck stuck in, being afraid to make bold moves for fear of doing the wrong thing could be a death sentence. Seriously… What state of limbo? Are the Canucks going to go bankrupt? Close the franchise? Who is afraid of making bold moves? What death sentence? What the hell are you talking about? You just put words together. Good on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we are 1-2 cap related moves and a few UFA signings away from being a contender so a few quick moves to make fans happy probably isn’t the way to move forward right now how ever exciting that sounds like. Moves will be made and to the management group it probably doesn’t matter if they are made now or in september or somewhere in between when the right deal comes together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we don't need to worry about he other 95% of our roster when we have a good goalie, right? Yeesh man. Just enjoy the ride dude! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what it would take to get Connor Murphy from CHI e.g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks have serious problems. But they make the playoffs and gain mass experience. Rinse and repeat while tweaking the financials and personnel. Thats how most enterprises work bud. I learned long ago that if you only harp about the bad, you’ll never make it. Identifying what needs to be fixed is fine. Doom and gloom isn’t. No, I just notice you always refer to playoffs, and never actually contending for a cup. At a certain point, we have to set the bar higher than simply "making the playoffs". Anything can happen in the playoffs yes, but typically the teams who are supposed to be in the final 4 or the finals are there - not some fairytale 8th seed who defied all odds. It happens once or twice a decade if we're lucky so let's not bet on those odds, I know you're a Vegas man (wink) Look at how often a 7th or 8th place seed makes the final - it's not often.. I have hope too, but here's work to be done before this team will contend and not just make the playoffs. Squeaking into the playoffs shouldn't be the goal, all mediocrity does is breed more mediocrity and this team has been doing exactly that for a decade. I'm not on the "as long as we make the playoffs" train. Edited July 11, 2022 by Harold Drunken 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good thing, but could also back fire if he hangs onto Miller without an extension for too long. The tweet is about opening cap space. Rutherford talked of clearing cap space so they could be active in free agency and/or take advantage of cap strapped teams. Sounds like they can't find decent deals to move contracts out - not just Miller. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like we can do much with 2 mil in cap space and 4 or 5 players to sign. i think we get more with LTIR or something. Anyone know the exact # of players and cap space we're at? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
