GDT: Apr 8 Canucks host Oil - Last Home Game

Re: GDT: Apr 8 Canucks host Oil - Last Home Game
With a healthier season and even more of a push for jobs from talented good young players, it's hard to imagine the team not finishing 15 points higher next year.
Is that a conundrum? What will the company line be?

I say fuck it. Trade Dank, Hank, Louie, Sutter, Dorsett, Edler, Tanev, Megna. Resign Miller, trade Markstrom, backup Bachman. He'll trade Sbisa too.
Pick up 5 1st, a couple of seconds, a handful of prospects and put it all together from there. Finish 31st. Get some great picks, a ton of picks, a few prospects.
And then work to make the playoffs in two years.
Full blow up mode.
Get er done Jim.

Oh ya but instead of signing miller let him walk and resurrect Maxime Oullette to let in questionable goals and set the tank in stone. Or...fuck the goalie...season opening face off 6 skaters all 82 games.Hockey Widow wrote:I say fuck it. Trade Dank, Hank, Louie, Sutter, Dorsett, Edler, Tanev, Megna.

We really don't need a company line.
If Trevor just has to come up with something, maybe old #22 TW, would be willing to help.

If anyone can't see they are a lottery team next season they're out to lunch. What needs to happen is Trevor "the town mayor" Linden, needs to stop smiling and waving like a politician and make like President Shanahan and do the right thing - listen to the fucking market and stop with this bullshit about "making the playoffs, competing blah blah blah and treat the 2017-18 season as the Official Rebuild season, passing the torch to Horvat and Boeser and ween this organization off of the Sedins. It's over. Fire Wilbrod and hire a coach who knows how to develop the kids. Fuck off with the Chaputs and Megnas.
Tiger WILLIAMS is somewhat right regarding Linden. I know Tiger, he can be a real clown and doesn't think before he speaks but Trevor is a poster boy politician, who is just phoning it in. Trevor needs to roll up the sleeves, get in there and try to understand truly where the team is at, where if needs to go, how to get there and start listening to the fan base ffs. The Sedin era is done! It was done when he started his job.

I think the rebuild should have started after the loss to the Sharks. Gillis shit the bed and took direction from the family. Elmer never should have taken the job unless he was allowed to rebuild. 2014-15 was the absolute worst thing that has happened to this team since the Neely trade.

Re: GDT: Apr 8 Canucks host Oil - Last Home Game
I agree about when the rebuild should have started, it was also painfully aware after the playoffs against the Flames under the new regime. I think the ownership here is the real problem, which is why IMO didn't start when it should have. Linden I think was in a no win situation trying to appease both pressures with this whole ridiculous retool on the fly bullshit which DOES NOT WORK. The forces are what they are every organization has their days in the sun and days in hell, you can retool on the fly, that's called forever .500 hockey. This city does not like .500 hockey. This city can handle a rebuild but you can't plug Megnas and Chaputs and Skilles and Bouchers n a rebuild, the fans do not tune in because of those guys but will tune in because of the Horvats and Boesers, and that is the only reason why Willie needs to be fired because he has zero interest in bringing the kids along. Everyone can see that Goldobin has god given talent that the Chaputs and Megna can only dream of but we need a coach who can harness, its a real statement of Desjardins when it's your Goalie Miller who takes Goldobin aside and has a heart to heart with himBlob Mckenzie wrote:But Doc said the rebuild was already well under way.

The preseason to the 2017-18 season will be very telling for me if Linden is for real or a smile and

Re: GDT: Apr 8 Canucks host Oil - Last Home Game
Yeah, that 101 point season Benning's first year really distorted reality for management. Dropping to 5OA in last year's draft hurt too. Gotta think that fate owes us no?
I kinda want the 2nd pick though. No matter who Benning picks at number one will be the wrong pick don't ya know.
