Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Kids will be kids, but he’s not really a kid anymore. Tons of ways to have fun and be responsible WRT COVID. What gets me is the league is trying to get back to playing ASAP and it’s shot like this which risks them getting back. Forget the talk Green and/or Benning has with him, I can imagine the ki...

It's great that it was front-loaded, which is the way wealthier teams should structure long-term contracts to older players. On the very day Loui was signed I pointed that out. How is that a benefit? yes, he is a bit cheaper to trade, as his salary is less. But, his contract is almost buyout proof ...

Adieu is French for go...

I’m not happy to see Brackett go. Bright guy, hard worker. If he was working for less of a bird-dog of a GM, he may well have stayed and had the autonomy he wanted. Benning is a bird-dog at heart, and being a GM... well we’ll see now whether he is a GM with a scout strong-side, or a scout with GM r...

More than a few kids in the 'A' that have the physical tools to play in men's leagues - even the NHL. It's what's between the ears that often needs work. Not that they're dumb, but a lot aren't habituated to the routines, skills, speed of things. Some are married to tricks that got them ahead in jun...

Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed left wing prospect Nils Hoglander to a three-year entry level contract. A foregone conclusion - but some actual news... https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-nils-hoglander/c-316768278?fbclid=IwAR0yZ...

Igor Eronko @IgorEronko Per source Nikolai Goldobin is set to sign a 2-year deal with CSKA of the KHL #Canucks 7:49 AM · Apr 11, 2020 He'll be happier there. Yup. He showed skill, but apparently not much else in his stint with the big club - could never earn Green's trust. Better that he plays in t...

Sucks. Not like he did something stupid - like a lot of other mid-20 dudes who die. Meant to be, I guess, but sucks nonetheless.

KHL@khl_eng SKA forward Vasily Podkolzin has been out helping volunteers in St. Petersburg to distribute food to vulnerable residents. https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1247177509935796226/VgduuncO?format=jpg&name=600x314 https://en.khl.ru/news/2020/04/06/467886.html Could the toque possibly be a nod ...

The idea of trading a young asset like Boeser because the desire to sign Toffli is strong right now seems iffy. We saw a sample size of under a month from a decent player needing the biggest possible contract he can get. His "big money", UFA one. Boeser is 23. Toffoli will be 28 in August. I would ...

I’m all for keeping Marky and trading Demko (expansion draft). IMO Marky is one of the games best right now, you might as well ride that. That is unless Markys contract demands get ridiculous and we just let him walk for nothing for stupid money elsewhere Brobovsky style Marky knows how he got to w...

18 straight games now with no even strength goals from Bo Horvat. That’s putrid Green apparently has decided to use Horvat as his 'shut-down' guy. He was put against MacKinnon all night against Colorado. Hard to get even-strength points when you're trying to shut down the opposition. Opportunities ...
