[Rumour] All Canucks FOR SALE except EP40 who is "Untouchable".

[RU SERIOUS]

 

Insider Elliotte Friedaman confirmed on HNIC during the Jets game what we all suspected, that everyone on the Canucks roster is now up for grabs - except EP40 - the only untouchable one..   Even QH, although he stated that the offer would have to be astronomical.

Yeah, I saw that. 

After Covid, I just have not had the care to watch hockey and another rebuild with a management that I think is garbage. Well, I guess that means my time here is almost at an end.

[grumpyone]

SOLD!!! 

[Mackcanuck]

So,

Do what then President Trevor Linden wanted to do 4 years ago when he was kicked to the curb!

He said "the team would be competitive in 4 years time"

Bold of them to think EP40 would not request a trade out of here.

We rebuilt before?  We’ve been crap, that’s true.  But when did we rebuild?  Keenan and Burke?

It's so sad to see that this management couldn't recognize what needed to be done. Trading Miller should've been their priority this summer because of cap issues. Instead, they thought re-signing him would help this team make it into the playoffs, while ignoring the issues that had been discussed about depth.

 

In short, Miller was a luxury that the team couldn't afford. We can see now that he is a good player, but not what the Canucks actually needed to improve. My hope is that the Canucks can get a good offer for him. The Canucks should've re-signed Horvat instead. Now he may want out - and I don't blame him for multiple reasons.

 

New management did pretty good with UFA signings and a couple of trades, but as we can see, this team is a mess.

This is my biggest fear.  Pettersson on most nights is the only fun thing going on in a canuck game and if they were to some how manage to drive him out of town would be tragic.  They must find to a way to build a winning team around him and keep the young man happy.

Miller was taken off the market, as reported by Freidman and posted here before, 2 weeks prior to the 2022 TDL and we announced we were going to sign him.  Our owner refuses to trade core players for futures.  Chytil, Lundquist and 

Rags’ first was futures.  I Bash Benning but maybe being hamstrung by an owner’s foolish direction to only make “win now” moves is impossible to overcome?  

The question is: will this management stand up to the owner like Nonis, Gillis, and Linden did?  If they do, hopefully, then what does the owner do?

Petey is a super smart player, and certainly knows our team needs fixing.  As long as there is clear direction to fix the mess 

Petey will extend.  Oh, and 12 x 8 will help.

I like that they said they're looking for players, not lottery tickets and they have no desire to tear down.  Build around

 

Petey

Bo

Mik

Kuz

Lazar

Hogz

Podz

Joshua

Aman

OEL

Bear

I would love the nucks to re build,,  it will take some time to rid themselves of bad contracts but managements basic problem is paying veterans ( market value - always debatable ) without the right core for success.  Windows are so small ( two - three years ) and the hard part is to trade veteran good players when their value is high to continue to try to get right mix of draft picks and young players..  nucks just give vets a big contract and hope.  All this does is make team basically spend to the cap all the time with no depth for real success.  Management has to learn to let go of vets if there is no chance for a cup with that mix.  Keep salaries lower until mix is right then spend to win.

They're not rebuilding, they're re-tooling.  

[DrJockitch]

I have been heavily critical of new management because they seem to be walking down the Benning path. 
‘They have done a nice job with picking up some prospects for free with Kuz and Aman and when they sign Livingston that will re-enforce this. Their trades have been up and down. Stillman is terrible but that deal had to be made for cap reasons because of the lack of vision and clarity in the off-season. I think the Bear and Hamonic trades were really good GM work.  Didn’t like the Dermott or Studnicka deals because they signal the wrong direction.

‘What I don’t like is they seem to think rebuild not necessary even if selling everyone. They are looking for hockey deals when dealing from position of weakness. Even the “everyone is available” is not “everyone is available for futures”. It is everyone is available and we are going to try to win without elite talent or depth. 
JR/PA made numerous mistakes. Signing JT and Mik without moving any money out was crippling and will be for years if they can’t move JTM.  The cap looks like it isn’t going up as much as hoped which will only com-locate things. 
‘We would have been in such a better place if Benning had just let the clock run out on Player Name, Beagle and Rous.  He may have even been able to get an asset for Beagle. We would have had a high pick that year, a higher pic last year and a tonne of cap when it was at it’s highest value. OEL will cripple us for years and Garland is a luxury we didn’t need in a small scoring forward who can’t kill penalties.

This is what most fans want.  But our owner refuses.  Maybe he changes his view?

Since our energy bought the club he has hamstrung management with his set direction to “win now”.

They're not walking down the Benning path.  I'm 100% sure that Benning knew that Petey was the key and would have made the moves to build around him.

I went through this as well, Covid killed my hockey passion, it's slowly coming back but my care level is still minimal. I'm also a full season ticket holder and go to most games, and i still barely care. It's an odd feeling.
