If you want "positivity", then bring that. Starts threads. Reply with your POV.... Get in the CC gym, people... and stop being vegan. It's not natural. THIS ^ This is exactly why the site exists - I know there's a fair number of lurkers who like to read, and that's their call - but there not the ...

It's true that Doc looked up and forward, "Focus on 3 years from now" ;) I don't think the board is in a negative place these days - the team is, and we're reflecting that. When we have something to be positive about, we'll jump on it. But like all armchair quarterbacks coaches, we're doing our best ...

But don’t spend anything in the top 48 on a gimmick. Not sure if it's all gimmick - I mean, they're the 2 top scorers in the WHL this year, and from BC (ok, maybe that part is a gimmick) - but we're always harping on about getting some local talent. Still agree, we have no reason to make some moves ...

I just think having twins that are iffy prospects has some real potential to be a headache for management. This is a very valid concern - one in Abby, one in Van - one pans out, the other doesn't - trade one, trade both? We didn't have that problem with the Sedins, since they both developed into ...

I'm on board with it as long as we don't give up too much to snag them. Packaging a couple later 2nd or 3rd round picks to move up and draft them together shouldn't be too much work for our rook GM. I agree - I don't see it being a big loss if we don't pull it off, but I'm leaning towards the plan ...

We have the pick to pull it off, if we choose to. We would be picking them a few spots higher than they're ranked, so the question is 'would it be worth it'? With later firsts / early seconds, it's a bit of a crapshoot - so would drafting 2 players with existing chemistry help raise those odds ...

I'm thinking COPOHO is the one to go with.

Although around Christmas time, it will be CO PO HO!

Thanks Wids - I couldn't continue listening.

Yawn.... this is shaping up to be a bland, generic edition of the Canucks.

I hope the Sedins know they have to do more than "show up early" and build a safe environment".

All of this in-house movement doesn't get me very excited for a 'culture change' in the organization. This is a deep hole to dig out from, and I'm not betting the farm that Johnson has the answers. The Sedins won't be able to bring much operational experience to the table either - all this leaves me ...

If it's this and Ruck twins, we'll know that marketing was in charge of the draft.

If the Canucks are truly committed to a rebuild, I would try to trade Demko. A 'healthy' Demko has trade value. Lankinen has none with that contract. Move Demko for a pick and prospect and start developing the future netminders in-house. I thought Tolopilo had more potential, but I don't see him ...

The goal light will now be blue.

Gaffar is saying that RJ has been offered a job as "head of hockey ops" It's interesting that he was "offered" the position - and that they couldn't come to an agreement and announce his hiring in the new role. It will be awkward if he turns it down, though. Just seems like more unnecessary drama ...

You are likely correct, however I will play devil’s advocate here….. When you consider that Celebrini was 50+ points ahead of the next highest scorer on the Sharks’ roster, I could also see them wanting to add a guy like McKenna (or Stenberg) who could either distribute high octane offense across th ...
