Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

JT Miller 3 goals in 61 playoff games How many assists? This chat is embarrassing. Throwing a defense man under the bus before he gets here because we gave up our first round pick in one of two years of which we will not be a lottery team and even if we were, we'd lose as always and might I just fu...

With Callahan on permanent LTIR, Tampa isn't up against the cap like everyone seems to think. Brisebois seemed to think they were "up against the cap" and made the move to clear cap space: "Eventually we were going to have to unload some players and unfortunately today was one of those days. We had...

I like this trade, immediate impact on top 6, 4 more years at a cost controlled contract, big 200 ft player, ntc now voided, we keep the first for next year if we miss the playoffs (huge deal with how deep the draft is). I don’t get the freak out, Miller is a legit player He is a player. Its not th...

Probably good practice at least in the later rounds.

Is it possible for JB to make a trade without downgrading or discarding a pick?

I’m not happy with this trade. Benning has drafted some good 1st rounders. Now he gives one away when we are still a long way away from being a contender. I am in disbelief right now. I thought we were seeing progression from JB in his asset management - instead it is right back to overpaying with ...

This is yet another massive overpayment by JB - and just when I was getting to like him.

A 3rd and a first - how the hell does JB manage to get bent over the barrel by a cap strapped team. Perhaps he heard the term "weaponized capspace" and understood it to mean the inverse.

WTF a first round pick for JT?

In Benning we trust. Its never who we think I've noticed. Have to put faith in the mans eye for young talent. Its proven to be astute. Always worry when its the ruskies but it looks like we benefit from his khl contract I just hope on this pick he was using the eye for talent he used on Brock, Quin...

@Sportsnet650 Benning - “We put a provision in Edler’s contract in case for whatever reason the expansion draft date is moved up that he will be eligible to be exposed.” 12:16 PM - 20 Jun 2019 from Vancouver, British Columbia -------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Two thumbs up for Benning on the Edler signing. Great job sticking with the two years. As per Miller - sure I'd like the addition but depending on the price tag. Hard to part with any of the young talent we have coming up and still think JB needs to hold onto as many picks as possible. Obviously Mil...

The idea is to hoard picks during a rebuild why, show the math It’s called common sense. No math is needed. No, it does require math. Please show me the odds of a 3rd round pick making an impact in the NHL. Why are you worried about the odds when there is a "Genius" doing the picking? Are you imply...

It’s called common sense. No math is needed.

It's called a false premise.

False premise: Downgrading picks doesn't matter.

The idea is to hoard picks during a rebuild Can you further elaborate on this? It's a quite difficult concept to comprehend. :lol: 2nd and 3rd on right cancel out as it was in reality a 9 spot pick upgrade and we still got Lockwood. 3rd and 3rd in the middle cancel out… as do the 4th and 5th on the...
