thrago Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Not a good start so far for the new wonder team management. I feel like they are too afraid to make a mistake they are making the bigger mistake of doing nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curmudgeon Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 6 minutes ago, 73 Percent said: Who knows. We have the largest management group in the NHL. So large they can't seem to agree on anything. To be sure, the larger the decision-making group, the more chance there is for organizational immobility because everybody has to work together to achieve consensus. Consensus doesn't mean the majority rules, it means that we all compromise to find a solution that we all can live with. This ALWAYS takes more time than it should, and sometimes results in lost opportunity. My concern about the bloated management group is that too many cooks can spoil the broth, and when all is said and done, more is usually said than done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobayashi Maru Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I would be somewhat happy if we do the following: -Re-sign or trade Motte -Trade Pearson -Trade Dickinson -Trade Halak I would be very happy if the above is true plus we move Miller for one of the NYR packages we've discussed forever.

guntrix Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I don't agree with the typical "there's nothing out there" excuse. It's a free pass for futility. The very best management teams in the league make deals when they need one. Ultimately, it's only one of a multitude of reasons why we've never won a cup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Imagine hiring 5 GM’s to replace Benning and all you got for it was Dermott for Hamonic? Aquilini probably wants a refund.

Ya, I agree. I get the feeling this playoff push (once again) has played a part in it being so quiet. I am not a big fan of the Dermott deal. Was it really needed?

He doesn't want Vancouver to win a cup anymore than Bettman does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfanforlife82 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Head scratcher, with Richardson being claimed. How much money do they have left now? I thought they wanted to get more money off the books and get younger? He’s 37 and Lockwood could fill Motte’s role. Hmmmm.

Then they're just as inept as the previous group. "Running out of time" is unacceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Moves? Sure! But, really this just reeks of Benning's past moves, because in the end, it is his mess that is dictating all the problems we are having............... It is Benning that absolutely refused to get Green out of here, which in turn, caused us to loose so many points early in the season. So here we are, a team that has been winning at a playoff percentage rate, that is stuck in a pile of teams, that would not normally be where we should be, if that makes sense........ It is Benning that signed Boeser to a contract that has a qualifying offer of 7.5 Million. It is Benning that made the OEL/Garland move..........To me, it is Benning that pisses me off any direction I look...........again, prospect pool that is empty, and good enough to be a fringe playoff team, but not good enough to be a top 10 competitive team, with no chance to be one, because again................no prospects and no Cap! It is a mess to me. I am not worried about Miller aging out! I am worried about me aging out, before we get a cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya and I think they need to realize they need to strip it down other than a few key pieces. This run I believe has made them think they are better than they are. Anyways it just feels like it most likely will be a disappointing day. At least we are use to it by now.

Yeah, I tend to agree, but you need willing trade partners, a willing owner, and a willing fan base (of which, I think there is a real split either way)................. Like I said, I am just worried, I never get to see a championship team here in Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Industrious1 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Didn't the Canucks just hire a whole bunch of upper management including female AGM's that were itching to make their mark in the NHL? Maybe we are just playing the long game but I feel like we could have at least gotten some picks. Feels more like a Benning deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 How about we accept that there are good moves to do a deep retool (Miller out) but our owner won't allow it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's steering the ship, and we keep hitting icebergs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinning their hopes on a 30 year old who won’t even break 100 points is typical Canucks. Edited March 21, 2022 by Canuckfanforlife82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
