One last thing is these recent losses are what fans are asking for, they are early Xmas gifts, the tank.

This is what a tank might look like, close and almost there but a loss.

Now if management actually stated this was part of a plan fans would not be throwing jerseys

It would alleviate much of the fan lack of trust and the lack of faith in the front office.

It would also ease the pressure on the players and fan attacks on individual players.

 

It would not take 8 years if they were in earnest, but they can make it take 8 years by doing it ONE BRICK AT A TIME.

 

If they lose think of it as part of the secret plan.

 

I know not much about the game but then the team has made most things not about a game either. At least not one's they are no shows.

Very easy for this to be a blow out.

 

This is unintentional tanking, support it :towel:

Is Quinn gonna catch Harold by Chrismas?

Karlsson was traded at his peak.

A Norris trophy winner because he was on a team losing worse than this with a less incumbered cap. The return accelerated Ottawa's TOTAL blow it up rebuild to the point the are ahead of the Canucks in every area.

 

Glad he is doing well that should increase the return on this asset but not as much as some hope, he is very one dimensional, offence not so much defence.

May be an image of text that says 'SCAM ALERT!!!!! If you receive an email with the subject line "Two Free Tickets Το Canuck Game", DO NOT OPEN IT!!! *It contains two free tickets to a Canuck game'

Wouldn't be worth coming over from the island tbh, neither Jekyll or Hyde are appealing enough to spend the money a Vancouver stay costs on

The Karlsson trade was completely different as it was preceeded by an unprecedented teammate quarrel.

Yup. Hughes is probably the most gifted offensive d-man on that all-time Canucks list but as far as defenseman go there is no way I would put him ahead of Ohlund and Jovanovski. Not even sure I would put him ahead of Lumme or a healthy Salo.

And Vancouver's room is filled with them all singing kumbya?

The defence is constantly being called out.

 

Be real if that was a reason then the other player would be traded, oh ya, he was traded too.

This also coincided with the meddling owner Melnyk telling the world they were blowing it up and laying out his plan that included the staggered cap structure and time line, which just happens to be pretty accurate. 3+ years ago. 

 

What difference would it be alright if there was a player disagreement and Hughes gets traded, that makes it alright?

 

If so, what difference if he is traded to make the TEAM better than they are with him on it? What if they traded him and got two stars back, say a McVoy and Sergachev? Or a Fox and another Horvat?

 

The team is losing now with him being the GOAT so if the return was like;

Josh Norris
Chris Tierney
Rudolfs Balcers
Dylan DeMelo
2019 2nd round pick
2019 or 2020 conditional 1st round pick - Tim Stützle
2021 conditional 1st or 2nd round pick - Zack Ostapchuk -  Jamieson Rees
2022 conditional 1st round pick

does that make a difference? It certainly did with Ottawa.

Don't like how this team is trending on home ice and without Petey. Miller needs to step up the way Malkin/McDavid do when their top center is out, not disappear. He's going to be our 2C very soon, he needs to lift his game and run the show the way he did last year.

 

Might have a chance if our PP rips their PK but again we're without Petey so might not be as fluid.

 

Gotta jump Binnington early and throw him off his game. Crash the crease, play a dirty game and we can snap their little streak.

 

5-3 Canucks

With the flu working it’s way through the team, no Petey, trade rumours abounding, and our existing structure \ defensive issues, I’ll say 4-2 Blues. 

I counter with, "it's the canucks." 7-1 van.
