Bathgate Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 The owner and management has again traded off the future for playoff dates,not even this year. I'm 76, my opportunity to see the Stanley Cup win by canucks in my lifetime went to slim or none. My only response that I can control is economic therefore I shall not buy a playoff ticket unless they win the presidents cup first. 2 1 7 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Even if they drafted a D with the NYI 1st. That player would probably take 5 years to get to the NHL, and who knows how good they would actually be. Hronek is only 25 (2 years older than Hughes). This is a move to set them up for the future. Who knows what kind of future that Islander pick will have. Canucks still have their lotto pick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 You do you. Personally, I'm not buying a playoff ticket until they build a bridge from the Island. Or move the Island closer. Ultimately, I cheer for the players that pull on the sweater. Sure, management doesn't always do things the way I want them to, but unless they start committing heinous crimes, I will be there (at my TV) to watch. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeydew Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 You do you fam, The moves may sound upsetting initially, but in reality, it makes sense if we're building around Petey + Hughes + Demko to be a competitive team within their window. Rebuilding would've meant we're trading EVERYONE. But I'm hoping we can recoup a 2nd round pick for this draft and dump Myers. At this point, I'm curious about what their next moves are considering we're loaded with wingers and lack center depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highstickin Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Out - Horvat (27), Schenn (33), Stillman (24), Lockwood (24), 7th round in 26, 2nd in 23 In - Hronek (25), Bloom (19), Kravtsov (23), Beauv (25), Raty (20), 3rd in 23, 4th in 23 Please explain to me how the above gives you any indication that the owner/management has traded off our future? People are loosing their minds over the NYIs 1st and yes it was exciting to think what that player could be but the reality is, it didn't fit with the current superstar we have in Pettersson. Besides that, what did we hope for in that NYIs 1st? A top 4 RHD? Well, we got one without even having to roll the dice. Keep your playoff money if you like, but this team didn't trade away our future (yet, if we trade the Canucks 2023 1st than I'm with you). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since boycotting a sold out game would be meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Haven’t spent any money on the team through most of Benning’s years and not looking to until they decide they want to build towards a championship calibre team, not just a team that may be able to squeak into the wild card which is current plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're 76, why are you whining about them adding a 25 year old top dman to the young core of players? Banking on the "future" is a 10 year process 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 The good news: I think you'll live to be 120. The bad news: The Canucks still won't have won a Cup by 2067. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckFan1123 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 My Dad is 73 and barely understands how to use the internet. Props to you for finding your way here. As for your actual post, you do your thing. I think we will get you a cup before you’re 80. I just having a feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Agreed. This team is bad and won’t make the playoffs so the only reasonable thing to do is boycott them when they aren’t bad and do make the playoffs. That will show them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Way things are going we might get there sooner then later if things come together right. I just want us to start winning,so these moves made me happy. You see it another way I am ok with that but some think different like in life which this is part of.
