Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

These unsigned kids are not all going to make it to the show either, but an unsigned kid is the same as another 2nd-5th round pick in my books. When you have an eye for young talent like JB does, Same chance of working out. I am a lot less worried about 'lost picks' than others, I guess I would agr...

It’s like Benning had 3 extra draft picks this year. Nonsense. These guys are available to the highest bidder and were for some reason passed over when draft eligible. They are closer to FA reclamation projects than draft picks. Or you could argue that they are more valuable than a mid to late roun...

Why not factor in assists or points? Ok... Ehlers Points/Team points 35/698 5.01% of total points scored Nylander 26/740 3.51% of total points scored Virtanen 25/547 4.57% of total points scored So in this case of young proven players getting paid what they’re worth, you have a massive problem with...

Numbers are funny: Nik Ehlers- 292 GP- 197 points- .674 ppg= 55 points per 82. 7 points in 15 playoff games Will Nylander- 233 GP- 160 points- .687 ppg= 56.3 points per 82. 8 points in 13 playoff games Jake Virtanen- 207 GP- 59 points- .285 ppg= 23.4 points per 82. No points in no playoff games. Sh...

I can't believe you posted the MASSIVE difference in career stats then said "Not so Easy". LOL. Nylander makes much ore because of the world of difference in stats. Or put another way.... Would you pay someone $5,700.00 per year for the next 5 years and $9,000,000 this year who has scored 21 goals ...

Are you involved in paying the salaries? Bookmarked Lol Blob is angry (his narrative) cause 10.2 Million William was one of his go to’s (him and razor thin Nicolaj “injuries” Ehler) when slagging the Virtanen pick. No one would take Vantanen over Nylander. No one. You know why? BECAUSE 10.2 MILLION...

Dan Hamhuis - excellent signing Manny Malhotra- excellent signing Mats Sundin- solid signing Pavol Demitra- solid signing Raffi Torres- solid signing Mikael Samuelsson- solid signing https://www.capfriendly.com/signings/canucks/all/all/1-15/1-14500000/04232008-04082014 Sundin gave the team 9 goals ...

How am I his defender? I’ve said several times that his drafting sucked shit. Elmer’s drafting had been solid even though he blundered a couple top 6 picks. Not sure what it is you need in that regard. They have both made there share of horrendous trades and a pile of mostly meh trades. Probably a ...

The only flaw in your thought process DIEHARD, is the Canucks haven't even picked in the top 4 overall once since JB's arrival and prospect analyzers like Dobber and Pronman have the Canucks prospect pool either ranked #2 or #4 in the league since last summer. And it's only gonna get better after t...

If the D was not decimated by injuries then would Brisebois/Sautner be given a chance?

The point is that they were developed in the minors and they can step in for injuries or trades or for whatever reason...

The concern would be if the kids weren't able to play when called up...

Take care...

With a shooting % 5.3. Won't occur again probably in his career.

I don't follow the leaves and have only seen a couple of games on TV and live this year, but unless he stops playing on the perimeter, he will always have a low shooting percentage...

Take care...

Will Zach MacEwan get another look this year? Not sure what they don’t yet know about Eriksson or Granlund

I hope so and think they should...

Take care...

A lovely story. When you add up the contracts of Eriksson, Sutter, Gudbranson, Beagle, Spooner, Pearson of dead cap space that could probably be replaced with 8-10 million worth of players . Leaving Elmer with 15 million to spend on a good player or two. Not to mention the couple extra picks he cou...

He made no sense at that price point on this team where it’s at in its rebuild. They need to improve the defence and the overall talent level and speed. He does none of that Why are you worried about the contract at this point in the teams evolution? Rather than looking at the glass half empty, I s...

Guds was a deterrent. He could well have been more of one but either he was reluctant to be or had a collar. When the trade came down, my first impression was a sinking feeling and an Ah Fuck, Why? For what?......... Still is. His mobility was in question and he seemed confused on his defensive pos...
