We should not trade anyone, nor should we change any coaches, or coaching style. We should sing Kumbaya and be happy we are in the bottom third of the league Finally, you have figured it out. Rejoice in the suctitude and just let it overwhelm you. You are helpless to want more. Aqua is great, Fin is great, The Canuck Family is great, and you are great too.

I read that Smyl stated just today in an interview that ownership hasn't been this "not involved ever".( poor grammar on my part) I believe the man. Their is no proof but he has been the one constant, from Gillis to Allvin. From the outside, they all seem to be doing the samething: ever retooling to the middle of the league. Just my two cents.

hockeyfan-observer Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I would like to seem them beat a team that is actually playing well - hopefully soon. Looking at who they have beaten this year - most teams were on a slight slump (eg. like Avs Montreal Buffalo Pittsburgh) Unless a dramatic change, they will probably finish in 21 - 26 range. Columbus Chicago and Anaheim are really having a tough year Onto the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Okay the season can end now. I like the spot we are in. First two tankathon spins are 1st and 2nd overall. 2 firsts and 2 seconds in 10 spins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 2 hours ago, CanucksJay said: I thought OEL was ok today but Myers was not. Only qualm with OEL is that he is playing to not get injured. He'll never retrieve the puck full speed. He'll slow down and let the forechecker go in first everytime so that he doesn't get hit. Im ok that he does this while we tank. Once we ship everyone out and he is last man standing on D, I would love it if he started playing with some passion again. Guy is still talented but he needs the right incentives to light a fire under his butt. I truly think what'll make him tick is an opportunity to contribute and see that his efforts don't go wasted on a crap team that has far too many blunders. OEL is a smart guy. Why risk his body when there's nothing to gain Maybe OEL can donate his cheques while he plays that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is supposed to be for FANS, not whinging turds. Blow it all up, trade everyone away, bad owner, bad mngt, bad coaching, bad players, it is all just a keyboard ego-trip. You have ruined a good thing. Yeah, I hear you. On the bright side, this place is still pretty fun during a win. I still trust most people on here are actual fans and not trying to be professional podcasters. Probably the last place for online Canucks fandom that can say that. I think most people just kind of see the writing on the wall - change is coming but we’re still far enough out from the deadline that nothing is moving. That’s making it take way too long for some who have (imo understandably) given up on having all of this group together. I also think a lot of people are just venting, too. “Blow it up” would involve moving a few of the pieces that hold value like Horvat, Kuzmenko, Schenn and maybe Petey and/or Hughes if you go salt the earth. Most of the guys they want gone make zero sense to sell as they’d take assets to move or buy out - and ironically that’s a terrible idea if you don’t believe in the team. Then I’ve noticed some “new” accounts im sure coming in from Twitter or HF but are back now just to gripe/troll in the new climate. It’s fun to see posters like Alf giving them the gears in his way. I think if we sell a bit at the deadline, bring in a new coach, have a decent draft to look forward to and a healthy Demko the team could have positive vibes again as early as next season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Man I just keep thinking like this is supposed to be a time of optimism and hope. New management coming in to right the ship and choose a direction. I’ve never seen fans turn on management so quickly though. Like they don’t even have a chance. Any move they make is going to be so scrutinized. That’s on ownership for letting things get so toxic, and allowing this team to just drift for so long without direction. Such a difficult environment to build something good. That’s why New York and Montreal were smart with their fans. They came out and addressed all of them with a clear message and plan, and fans accepted it and were excited about it. Like why does this ownership think fans can’t handle a proper rebuild? Or is their ego so big they can’t admit that their plan isn’t working? Edited January 9, 2023 by DeNiro 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyu Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 25 minutes ago, CanucksJay said: It really should be obvious at this point. Keep Petey and Hughes along with whoever you can't trade (like OEL) and then start trading anyone else who has value. If that means retaining 2M on Myers for next season to get a better asset , do it. If it means retaining 2m on Brock for 2 seasons for the same, do it. No one else should require retainment minus OEL but his contract is too long to hold the bag.... Depth chart for next season C EP RW Kuz (if he is willing to re-sign at 6 mil or lower) LW Mikheyev C/W Miller (can't trade) RW Boeser (can't trade) LW Pearson (can't trade) RW Garland C/RW Lazar LW Joshua C Studnicka C Dries RW Pederson (RFA re-sign < 1mil) -------- ~45 mil === candidates for promotion from the AHL === LW Podz LW Hogs C Aman RW Lockwood C/W Karlsson RW Klim LD Hughes LD OEL RD Myers RD Bear (RFA re-sign ~ 1.5 mil) LD Dermott (RFA re-sign ~ 1.5 mil) RD Schenn (re-sign 1.25 mil) ------- ~24 mil Demko Martin ------ ~ 6 mil LTIR: Poolman That's about 76 mil. Giving us about 6 mil for 3C and upgrade RD. If the management can find a way to trade Myers (with cap retention) or they can trade Garland (more likely and with no cap retention). Then we will have about 10-12 mil. 2023-24 Mik-EP-Kuz Pearson-Miller-Boeser Podz-3C-Hogs Joshua-Studnicka-Lazar Hughes-RD upgrade OEL-Bear Dermott-Myers Schenn Demko Martin This hasn't factored in the pieces we would get back in Bo Horvat trade. We could be getting a 3C or an RD upgrade in that trade or just get future pieces (prospects + picks). 2024-25: The cap will go up by 4 mil (projected). Myers and Pearson come off the books. In total, we will have at least 14 mil. Pettersson will be due for a hefty raise of about 3-4 mil. We will still have about 10 mil or more to upgrade the defence if we weren't able to the previous season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still amazed so many fans think this should look better than it does Just look at the arguing with me on this very page! Arguing with you? Here I thought it was hockey fan’s exchanging ideas.
