At the same time just because Benning squandered 7 years doesn’t mean JR And PA will too. 

No, but it can explain the fans impatience. Haven’t had much to cheer about, fans are desperate.

 

Looks like we will have to wait much longer.

And going to take even longer if this current management group keeps doubling down on the previous regimes moves. Patience while this team hands out extensions to Boeser and half a year later looking to dump his cap? Patience for a management group who plans to "build around their young core", then re-signs JT for 7 more years?
 

Most on here were expecting more out of Boeser this year, including management. His first somewhat  healthy off season in awhile and most didn't have a problem with his cap hit. "Doubling down" seems to be a popular buzzword on here now days but it holds no water...we don't know what was available for Miller. There are teams that will take Boesers contract on no problem at his age and historical production...he was worth a roll of the Dice and its still a bridge contract that they can move. They owed it to this team to see if they could carry over the winning and results from last season....they haven't and changes will be coming I'm sure.

I refuse to believe that management are unaware that Myers and Stillman spend their entire shifts hemmed in their own zone looking lost and unable to check players and handle the puck and get it out. They are pathetic and a major reason we are so embarrassing as a team

I agree. They are honestly the biggest reason why we are so trash. Thank you JR and Alvin for not addressing the defence this offseason!

 

Wolanin - Burroughs would atleast be capable of not turning the puck over 20 times a game. Give them a shot!

Yeah I mean I've said this 1000 times now but Benning had 7 years and we are already giving up and ripping apart JR and PA after one off season. and not even a full season with the team. There is going to have to be some patience involved on turning a franchise around....this doesn't happen overnight it does take time.

You are likely correct.  HOWEVER - some of us are starting to wonder what they're up to because they failed to do anything to address our awful defense, resigned Miller until early in the 2030's decade when he'll be close to collecting his CPP (Pension). Resigned the slowest, laziest and fragile players on the team BB6, signed a bunch of peripheral 4th line forwards, and the icing on the cake was throwing away an extremely valuable 2nd Round Draft Pick (That JR said he'd never give away) for that useless Stillman guy!

 

So, as you can see, at the very least, some of us "Normal" canucks fans are starting to wonder if our new management group know what TF they're doing  especially after reading about the mess JR & Alvin left in Pittsburg and watching this disaster unfold before our eyes this year.

This fanbase is so reactive when it comes to goalies. Just a couple weeks ago this fanbase was anointing Martin as the saviour because he was playing a little above average. Now Delia "deserves" a start after stopping 9 shots.

We don’t have much to cling to as Canucks fans.

Is this on Boudreau ? 
 

Stillman/Myers is a horrible pairing or deployment of player assets.

I sure as hell wasn't anointing him as the saviour. I'm sorry to tell you but Martin doesn't deserve the start next game.

 

It's not that Delia has earned it, but Martin has lost it.

 

Not really sure how you can justify giving Martin the next start?

 

Also, if anything I am the biggest supporter for goalies as I am a goalie myself.
