Re: The Bubbles and Dud review every GM move thread
McCaan was rushed into the NHL we all know that. He had a cocky little boy entitlement attitude to go along with his immaturity. Had we left him a year longer in junior he may have been a great surprise for us. We were so desperate for some exciting young players both he and Virtanen were rushed.
The only HW the Canucks need

There you go! That's it exactly, bang on.

they got was something more like an immature, early, Matthew Tkachuk. Couldn't help it. Kidding.
Oh well, connect the dots and the team got one wee moment, at home, against the leaves. Right?

Turning McCann+33 Overall into Tanner Pearson is not great asset management for a rebuilding team.

Re: The Bubbles and Dud review every GM move thread
I only brought up McCann because the Dude is ready to tar and feather Dahlen. Fans like him eat up everything management says after they trade a guy. Vancouver managers over the last 40 years feel the need to sometimes trash a guy( especially the younger players)after he’s gone. All the way back to Milford and Neale through to Quinn and Burke and Gillis and now Elmer. The only guy I don’t remember doing this is Dave Nonis. It looks pretty classless.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 12:08 am McCaan was rushed into the NHL we all know that.

McCann - “is a superstar. He’s on Team Canada! The Worlds FFS! To be rubbing shoulders with Tyler Bertuzzi, Adam Henrique, Matthieu Jossph, Kyle Turiris, Anthony Cirelli, Dylan Strome, Anthony Mantha, Darnell Nurse, Damon Severson, Troy Stecher, is a ringing endorsement to the special player that he is!. Foundational!”

Is he gone yet?
That's like; Are we there yet? I remember on their Labor Day vacation when Christina Applegate said that in the back seat
of the Bundy family red Mustang.
