Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Blobby what is your opinion on what has happened to OEL and do you think he can ever find his jiblets again? I can't get my head around why he went from maybe a top 10 defender to what he has been the past 4 years. He's not old or anything so is it commitment to training or just a lack of give a fu...

Monahan would be fine at 2 million for a year or two. He’s slow but he’s sound defensively and can play 2nd unit PP and win faceoffs. On one hand I agree, but don't you think we've had too many of these slow, soft, non-gritty and unwilling to engage types for far too long? Guys like Brock or Bo (no...

I’d rather overpay good players a bit than overpay 4th liners by millions. EG…..the terrible trio shipped to Arizona along with two very high picks for the right to overpay OEL and Garland.

Lol the Hockey Writers are suggesting Vancouver should go after Alex Debrincat. Doesn’t make any sense whatsoever

Picking Shea Theodore (26th OA) instead Shinkaruk (24th OA) and picking Richard Rakell (30th OA) instead of Niklas Jensen (29th OA) would’ve been huge for us Ryan Hartman instead of Shink, and Oshawa Generals teammate Boone Jenner instead of Yensen. I don’t see those as ghastly as fucking up 5th an...

Goalies don’t generally get traded for very good assets.

Chychrun/Sergachev instead of Olaf and Nylander instead of Jake. Completely butchered those picks.

RG I’m aware of his condition that forced him to retire. I should have qualified my opinion beforehand. Bottom line, even healthy as a horse, he was a terrible skater. He would have been a decent player- great hands, smart, but the Sedins looked like blazers compared to him. You don’t win with him a...

I like Ryan Leonard a lot. Get a Ryan Kesler, Matt Tkachuk vibe from that kid. If he’s there at 11 Allvin should sprint to the stage.

Picking centre Hodgson I tend to put Hodgson in the Bourdon/Holden category. He had a then undiagnosed disease that precluded him from being an NHLer. Even Cherry was high on the guy (though Cherry being Cherry, it might have been his home town that Cherry liked as much as Hodgson's game). Maybe th...

I’m not really jacked on what’s available around the 11th pick nor inclined to wait 4-5 years for the prospect to cook, moving the pick with a contract (Garland etc.) to plug a hole (D and C) may be what’s needed. Tear the bandaid off ffs! Shoulders, your thoughts? Dumb idea. Unless you are getting...

The biggest miss could be every draft pick Gillis made... that guys picks was like the french army in battle 'Oh-4...' Gillis had 2 high first round picks. He was 1/2. Elmer had 5. He is 2/4 depending on how the Moscow Mule turns out. Erik Karlsson was rated in the 20’s. So half the league fucked u...

Columbus has never had a franchise centre. Ever. And when they get a chance to draft one they’ll piss it away for a 30 year old Miller? And Wids will grow an 11 inch dick, Mëds will continue to grow surpassing 8 feet tall, Reefer will have a good take and Doc will bring Gomer107 back to the board an...

Libor Polasek is a favourite as well as Mike Wilson, Patrick White and Nathan Smith Those are all late first rounders. Wilson also helped land Almo and played over 300 games. The ones that really sting are the top 10 -12 picks that are duffed. I hope Podkolzin doesn’t turn out to be a dud. There’s ...
