Lol, good one Doc...

Like really good...

Take care...

Benning never did a rebuild. He got lucky with a few top 10 picks, and panicked. A rebuild would have drafted and not traded away that pile of 2nd round picks, or have taken OEL in exchange for a year of bad cap. +100 If he did it right then the Nucks would be in a better position today. Would they...

How organizations deal with the final years of their winning cycle is of more interest to me than should a team like the Canucks rebuild or retool and I wish more media focus was on this stage of an organizations life cycle... Take care... I agree Rik, but we are a long way away from a winning cycl...

I agree with you in that luck is essential to building a team, whether you are re tool...

Illogical Ok Chef. Tell us what your re-build looks like from where we are today. I wouldn’t mind you explaining what a rebuild is? There’s a segment of fan bases around the league and some media who use this as a fall back path to success and any chance of winning the Cup… Because rebuilds are the...

Player contracts are paid with tomorrows revenues/salary caps and are heavily relied on when managements are making their budget decisions... Since then, one of the broadcast rights holders has gone bust That was a regional broadcaster in the US wasn't it? I don't think the Canucks are affected. It...

Since then, one of the broadcast rights holders has gone bust Are you suggesting that they can't replace those lost revenues? Given how this off season is sh...

Start the buyout speculation Brock Garland Both Prey some one will take Meyers after his $5 mil bonus is paid leaving only $1 mil salary with his $6 mil cap hit. Just need to get under the cap with enough space to complete a roster and re sign Pettersson. In geriatric and robo Swede we trust No nee...

I think starting negotiations with a raise as opposed to a $500,000 a year pay cut might have been a decent place to start? Do you know the numbers? It’s been bandied about that they offered him the RNH contract. Lotsa smoke around that one. They prioritized JT it seems. Build through the D and the...

Bo continues to score, three goals in the past three games making three goals in four games since the trade. Should have signed him in the summer. 53 -56 million over 8 would have done it. These guys signing long term deals are looking at total dollars as opposed to per year cock measuring. He got ...

I think that's just a bit too simplistic, no offence Megs. Tons of prospects are on losing AHL teams, it doesn't mean they don't develop or improve and become NHLers. Look at our club. For the last decade, you can't say we've been world beaters, but guys like EP, Hughes, Bo, to name a few have deve...

Except under Bruce they started to win and almost got into the playoffs so there was false hope. I am glad they had a sinker. Glad Tocchet saw up close and personal. No false hope here, just the reality we need major surgery. Bruce got a huge dead cat bounce from the team last winter. I don't see i...

Don’t you love how Rutherford threw owners under the bus? When defending his handling of the Bruce situation he said he don’t think he acted any differently than other GMs or people in power. He used the hiring of Bruce and firing of Green by Aqualung as an examples. He said ownership was already t...

In the Flames darkest hours, Treliving pulls a rabbit out of his hat. Love the trade. I'm not worried about the UFA situation, as Blob said, if they don't sign long term now, they can be traded at the trade deadline. The D looks great now. They still need a top six forward to step in. Maybe Pelltie...

LOL!! Francesco Aquilini @fr_aquilini Gotta love media in Vancouver. Two weeks ago: "What's wrong with Aquilini? Why isn't he cleaning house? Can't he see it's a disaster? Why's he so slow to act?" Two weeks later: "Why's he moving so fast? Why's he cleaning house? Can't he see it's a bad look?" Ki...
