I'd say his legacy is icing the best team this franchise has ever had. But no worries, Benning is a genius and we will soon be transitioning to a better team in the next 2-3 years.RoyalDude wrote:Tanev - The UVIC Profs' Legacy.

I was just pointing out to the board fist puppet that Tanev was a better player than Edler. He's far better and his beloved TSN ranking system had Marek Zidlicky ahead of John Carlson so it's a bunk pile of shit just like 99% of the drivel he's been posting.Island Nucklehead wrote:The Alex Edler that steamrolled Doughty in the 2010 playoffs could've been a beast.

Why are we comparing drafted players to free agent signings? If Stecher turns into a Tanev-level player it would be fantastic. He could very-well be Evan Oberg.
What a load of choad that is...you have EXgmmg so far up your bowels you canna see the shit through shinola...Edler is a way better defenceman than Tanev and is matched up against his fellow #1s on the opposing teams all the time. Tanev has played protected minutes in comparison. He is 4 years younger and has not seen the battles Edler has.Blob Mckenzie wrote:I was just pointing out to the board fist puppet that Tanev was a better player than Edler.

I like Edler myself and think he's a decent player. That said he has been a fire fire when he doesn't have a Tanev or a Salo to hold his hand in the defensive zone.
Ask Who? Even a poster with a shred of hockey IQ and knowledge of your Vancouver Canucks would know that GM Mike Gillis was relieved of his duties in April of 2014.Arachnid wrote: Just ask current awesome GMMG who his #1 is D is and is paid like it.....
For me, that's a problem...Edler and Tanev play on the same pairing against other teams top lines. Edlers play two years ago was garbage on the second pairing . Once he was teamed up with Tanev his play improved tremendously. Tanev is the anchor. Stick to ball hockey because the NHL clearly isn't your thing. It's getting old emabrassing your sorry ass on the boards
Ahhhh yeah, Gillis did an amazing team putting that core group together, without his shrewd transacting we would never have had the Sedins, Luongo, Schneider, Burrows, Salo, Bieksa, Kesler, Hansen.....the key players who led the charge.Island Nucklehead wrote:I'd say his legacy is icing the best team this franchise has ever had.

And what an amazing situation he left for the next GM, so many good young players like the good young players he inherited in 2008.

I agree Rikster. I think Tanev and Edler are both decent # 2 guys who can play on a top pairing. It's highly unlikely that the Canucks can get two top pairing guys in trades but if they got one to play with Tanev and have a solid guy to hold Edlers hand on the second pairing it would be a good group.rikster wrote:For me, that's a problem...Edler and Tanev play on the same pairing against other teams top lines.

Just as the talk is that the team needs to improve to the point where the twins are its second line, I think the team needs to improve to the where Edler/Tanev are its second pairing...
Take care...
Ummmm..didn't he sign all those players to cap friendly deals which allowed him to bring in key role players like Malhotra, Higgins, Torres, Lappy, Sammi, as well a key to the defence in The Hoff? If I'm not mistaken all of those players played a key role in the 2011 run.RoyalDude wrote:Ahhhh yeah, Gillis did an amazing team putting that core group together, without his shrewd transacting we would never have had the Sedins, Luongo, Schneider, Burrows, Salo, Bieksa, Kesler, Hansen.....the key players who led the charge.Island Nucklehead wrote:I'd say his legacy is icing the best team this franchise has ever had.
