Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Don't let them get to you Mick, as someone who only stops in from time to time at least you try to stick to hockey on a hockey board which is why I look for your posts... Take care... Don't let him fool you Rikster, he's been a willing participant in EPIC battles on this hockey board! I downloaded ...

Second, not overspending on a fourth line would be an improvement, wouldn't it? Not to nitpick, but this criticism is always framed differently than the way I see it... This is a good post, and lays out the "bring the kids up with vets" philosophy and how the Canucks are ahead of the curve now. But...

Second, not overspending on a fourth line would be an improvement, wouldn't it? Not to nitpick, but this criticism is always framed differently than the way I see it... Benning has been very up front that his belief is that rebuilding teams need older, character type players to insulate and teach t...

I wouldn't read too much into the media narrative that they failed and circled back ... Especially when you consider how concerned the media were about being able to resign Toffoli because his wife worked in LA and he would be most likely to sign with a California team in the offseason... The only p...

Ive come to accept my own particular identity on here - the 'irrelevant lurker'. Kinda like a homeless person - no status and relatively voiceless. While working full time and contending with all the demands of life, i find it difficult to make time to contribute to 'some' of the meaningful dialogu...

This is the best explaination I've seen; https://twitter.com/EarlSchwartz27/status/1153799226175848454 As someone pointed out, Marner needs to be signed before the season starts or the leaves will have even more challenges getting cap compliant, they can't afford another Nylander situation where his...

Thank fuck Blob doesnt load a mountain of rational statistical drivel on here. This isnt the place for logic and reason... If it was half of us would be gone. This is a comedy club with some fringe facts and pseudo-logic directing the line of humour to remain somewhat relevant. Or you could argue t...

The Flames are still going to trade one or more of Frolik, Brodie, Jankowski or Neal (don't see anyone wanting Neal). I think Brodie will fetch a decent return. Frolik might get a 2nd or 3rd round pick. I hope they keep Jankowski as he has turned into a great penalty killer. The key is what they wi...

Do you even know what they gave away in those trades? But walk us thru those 7 or 8 picks that they just gave away.... Take care... Sorry rikster - this is always the stupidest argument to try and determine who the Canucks may have picked but here goes: 2015 Canucks trade a 2015 2nd round pick #53,...

To apply a blanket statement to the Canucks situation and defend it by saying trading picks is a bad idea is complaining for the sake of complaining... Sorry, its the way I see it ... if you want to go into detail as to why trading away a draft pick today which will be at worst 2 drafts away is a b...

The idea of accumulating picks assumes there is a law of averages . And increasing odds of success. It's a strategy/philosophy a lot of rebuilding teams employ. Our problem was ownership/management wasn't ready to go that route early because they felt playoffs were within reach and too important (b...

if you want to go on and on with this notion that the team should never trade away a draft pick walk us thru your thinking because as I said before it sounds like complaining because you want something to complain about... Curious..if you think I'm going on and on then why in the heck would you ask...
