I firmly believe that Linden could've built a really good team, IF he were allowed to do it HIS way. Aquaman & Benning thought they could do it on the fly with minimal changes and we all know how THAT worked out now don't we? 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure had a very good rookie season, but Boeser, Hughes, and Pettersson all had better ones. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanlet Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Vancouver will never win the Cup while the cap is flat across all teams. Taxes cause players' take-home pay to be way lower in Canada than in places like Florida and Texas. Essentially The Panthers, Lightning, and Stars get over $15m of extra cap each and there is simply no way to overcome this level of handicap. It's unpopular to say this though cause no one wants to talk about it. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalk Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 the new management group hasn't been here for 52 years and doesn't need to pay any attention to the impatience and stress that is rampant among our fanbase. And the organization will be better off if they don't. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalk Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Jim Benning may have been an utter failure in management, but he drafted and signed to a GREAT contract, a franchise goaltender. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Darius Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 JT Miller's high risk high reward style of play will not win this team the cup if he is one of the primary players they rely on. Too many give aways, too high risk when things are not going his way. 1 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Maybe more of a popular opinion? I can see JR try to get the team back to wearing the "skate" uniforms. They're more intimidating, looks tougher, classic. They want to find their identity? They might find it wearing those jerseys full time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awalk Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 This core may provide us with some entertaining years but ultimately won't win the cup, and the team will finally be forced to do an actual Ottawa style rebuild in 5-6 years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure961089 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Pavel Bure made his mind up on the Canucks management and if he wanted to stay here when we drafted Libor Polasek over Valeri Bure in the 92 draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many jersey changes, too many people change opinions based on fashion. A First Nations Artist doing a proper Canuck logo (Orca) might do the trick. Benning could draft, signed Demko to a pretty good deal. Petey and Hughes might wind up being steals. But he was horrible at management both cap and players. I would love to have seen Linden backed up by ownership. Benning needed someone to say no, instead of a yes man as an assistant GM. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I’d rather hang onto Miller and risk losing him for nothing in a year as opposed to trading him for a low return. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the skate jersey, it is fun... but that said, I'm not so sure it would be such a great idea to bring it back full time. Imo it's too retro looking, like you can tell that it really is a product of the late 80s/early 90s (same with the kachina jerseys down there in Arizona, and I bet those jerseys will be replaced yet again in the next 5 years with a more tasteful design) Similarly, we too should aim for a more simple, timeless look. I really liked the West coast express era stick in rink alternatives, but many people say it's a boring look, so who knows.

The stick-in-rink is good for a shoulder patch but I don't like it as the main logo 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
