He's basically the modern day Jim Sandlak in that we just expected too much of him after a good rookie year but he's certainly a decent asset for the team. Yes but do far we have many forwards and his time here is done He would do better with a new start. We need a 3c more then him so time to go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention it's just a meaningless statement. A fan who has followed the team for decades will obviously have witnessed more of the franchise's history than any management team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a first round centre draft is worth more than Brock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half of their arrival i would argue was one of the most dismal since the keenan years. but after the bo trade, signing young free agents, acquiring hronek...etc. now they seem to have gotten their feet rolling. They'd finally put action into some of their words. I am also willing to believe in this group. We'll see what happens. Yea. I agree the post BoHo move was when the ball started rolling. Top me there most dismal "JB" type move was the Stillman for Dickenson and a 2nd. I didn't get the reason for giving up our 2nd but, oh well. We got Bloom for Stillman outta the deal. So we got some cap relief by ridding ourselves of those two. I guess that's a positive. Anywho....... We've amassed a sh#t ton of young forward depth for next to nothing. And shored up our RD with Hroneck and Bear. Management I'm sure are brainstorming regarding OEL and Chaos Giraffe. Not a great situation to have. 9 hours ago, Curmudgeon said: Such a refreshing perspective. I'll take optimism over pessimism any day. My view is that if the team isn't meeting your expectations, maybe you need to adjust them. We all want a Stanley Cup but to win even one is a monumental task requiring a mixture of correct personnel decisions, a sound team structure, good coaching, good forward momentum and a healthy dose of sheer good luck. Then all the stars need to align in celestial harmony. I have full confidence in the current management group to do whatever is within their control to build a winner. And I am here for it. Pretty much this. It really does come down to sheer luck. But also the willingness to exact change. Nnot for the sake of it, but for reasons of taking chances and moving forward. Current management has shown that there willing to do just that and so far it seems to be playing off. Re-tool?????? Yea. There's no denying that was the intention all along. Thus far it appears to be working. I am truly excited for what's to come for our Canucks next season! Go, re-tooled Canucks, Go!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s 17 million cleared off the cap for next season. Lots of room to improve the club. OEL buyout is not happening this offseason.

It's super unfair that JR is really absorbing all the pent up frustration that Benning put this fanbase through. But Canucks fans are also hungry for any semblance of hope. Here's hoping this group can win back that goodwill that Aqua and JB squandered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think cashstrapped aqualinis who are drowning in debt can afford to buy out OEL? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shouldn’t be that hard to follow. He was a different player when he signed, it's now history. But even then, there was so much speculation from fans who should have known better (espically JB) that some once awayfrom Arizona he would miraculousy retrun to his past quality days. It never happened and common sense tells you it would never happen, unless of course you have some sort of time machine or pixie dust. His play will not improve, not too early standards.
