Yes...I don't honestly think were getting Bedard.

It was a joke made when considering the flow of your previous posts in the thread is all.

We have no chance. I’d give up any four players ,including our own pick, on this team for him save Podkolzin and Huggy. It wouldn’t be enough.

Petterson
Demko
Horvat
2023 1st doesn’t get it done. Is Rathbone and Piglander enough of a sweetener?

I’d give them Hughes and Petey in a 2 for 1. Doubt that does it.


He’s a huge Canucks fan though. Can see him coming home if he gets stuck in the desert with Pigman for seven years.
Blob why do you do this to your yourself? Asking for a friend.

Why do you keep throwing #BenningBuilt out there and then speaking ill of players he signed?

Asking for several friends....

Yes the coaches are begging the players to throw it up the gut. Laugh it up but it could be curtains on playoffs by Halloween if they continue to piss their pants.

Leave it to a bicycle rider to pick out a guy (Burroughs) punching well above his weight. Team sports and all that.

Yep. Blow it the fuck up. I don’t care that it’s only game 3, they’ve been garbage and look exactly like they did last season when they were shitting the bed.

You’re right, Demko is going to age out here (which I mentioned last year based on the missing pieces and state of the current core).

Easy fix, new coach, swap out the 4th liners and bottom pairing D, and it'll be all good.

I think it's still possible that the long-term benefits of taking more time to assess abilities and choose the best possible roster will outweigh 3 losses in October.

Well of course, that's what you do if you believe the rebuild was executed improperly, and if you have the patience and confidence of ownership.

I've said a few times (probably a few times more than most of you cared to read) that I don't think the rebuild was executed correctly from a theoretical perspective, but my hockey theories are strictly amateur hour, and I'm not ready to throw out the empirical evidence collected at the end of last season yet based on three early season games. Especially since, frustrating though they may have been to watch, the Canucks weren't blown out in any of them, and showed strong patches in each of them.

Yeah, that's a pretty bad take. Burroughs has played just fine for a depth guy and he's one of the few who actually gives a crap.

It’s a horrible take.

Reeks of a fella wearing a brown diaper who’s got a match in one hand and a gas can in the other. Let him be I guess.
