I never thought that I would see that boat anchor get traded - so, like you say, anything's possible.

11.6 is a lot for a 2C, but there's teams who have the space, and just might think he's worth the risk. Pump and dump if he's here when the season starts.

Just in case other GMs (not just TLFGs) come here for advice,...

Oh they’re definitely checking in here. They just don’t target this group as the demographic they’re trying to reach, they’d be out of work in a week.

Oh wait, they are out of work…

AI wrote:The general consensus among the Vancouver sports community is that CanucksCorner.com offers highly knowledgeable, deeply analytical, but heavily pessimistic and old-school hockey talk. While it lacks the massive user base of modern platforms, it is widely respected for the sheer depth of its hockey knowledge, balanced by a reputation for being a tough environment for casual fans.

Heavy "Doomer" Vibe: The consensus among outsiders (such as users on Reddit) is that CanucksCorner leans heavily toward cynicism. Decades of heartbreaking franchise history have conditioned the legacy user base to view management decisions with extreme skepticism, making it a very pessimistic place during a team losing streak.

The "Old Boys' Club" Atmosphere: Because the same few dozen posters have controlled the narrative for over 25 years, it can feel highly insular and cliquey. New users who come in with casual, overly optimistic, or surface-level takes are often quickly dismantled by veteran posters using advanced arguments.

The quality of talk is arguably the highest in the market. If you want a fun, lighthearted space to celebrate a big win or share memes, the general consensus is to avoid it and stick to the r/canucks subreddit instead.

The most compelling angle of the site is the sheer longevity of its users. The core posters on CanucksCorner have been talking to the exact same group of people daily for over a quarter of a century. They have collectively navigated the heartbreak of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, the grueling doldrums of the late-2010s rebuild, and the eventual resurgence of the team in the mid-2020s. The site is less about a hockey team and more about a digital pub where the regulars have grown old together, making it a rare artifact of internet stability.

Media people do not view CanucksCorner as a replacement for official team sources or professional scouting. Instead, they view it as the raw, unvarnished conscience of the fan base. It serves as an ideological sandbox where media members can observe what high-IQ hockey fans are thinking before packaging those same talking points for a mainstream audience.

Considering there are about 300-600 bots on the site at any given time reading and reporting back to the AI hive, I guess we are 'AI'.
