Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Blob, I agree with you. The rotten ones do add up.. but we are no talking Erickson terrible with this one. My comment that at 2.3, Benning seems to Be getting it under control. He didn't give the extra million to Stetcher. The problem with being a team that has been on the bottom of the standings, i...

I am not upset by this. It shows that Benning can learn. I was worried that Stetcher would get Hutton money, which is too much. This is not a bad signing. Hutton gets $2.80M per year. Stecher gets $2.33M per year. The difference really isn’t that much. If stetch was getting 3 mil, people here would...

I am ok with him going back to college for a year, then coming in and have a crushing rookie season... Boeser = Calder finalist 2018 Peterson = Calder candidate 2019 Hughes = Calder 2020 That's some damn good youth right there!! When was the last time a team ever had 3 kids in a row have a run at th...

the Doc-Blob feud..

Whos winning anyway?

I don't think anyone... it's kinda like the Hatfield and McCoys..

Would you be interested in Pacioretty as part of a deal with LE headed there? Nope. The idea would be to get rid of a roster player. We have 1 too many (minimum!!) going into camp. More If rookies make the lineup day 1. Any of Gagne, Hutton, LE, Nilsson we can move before camp, for any kind of pick...

Omg.. not sure if I should be laughing, or sad I was dragged into the Doc-Blob feud..

I pick happy..

But don't bunch me in any preconceived camp this board seems to be sorting everyone into!!

I am torn on this. IF (and it's a big 'if') we stay healthy, we will compete for a playoff spot this year, and if we are lucky with injuries and only have 1 key guy injured at a time, I think we can squeak in. ( I think we are better than a lot of people give us credit for). IF we <only> lose 1 or 2...

Madcombinepilot, one of these days you're gonna hafta tell us how you really feel about Gaunce!

Lol. Yeah... perhaps. Good kid, shitty NHL'r.

Brendan Gaunce - the forgotten one (always has good metrics, big boy, has decent AHL stats and a ton of shots) decent depth guy to have around on "the fifth line" Gaunce will never get a sniff on this team again. (With hope!!) the signing of Beagle, Rousel, and Schaller drive him so far into Utica,...

Does Philly need Nilsson for a 3rd now?

This thread is garbage.

Eriksson has an NTC now according to cap friendly. I’d like to see management ship his ass to Utica if he keeps mailing it in next year. yeah.. we might as well keep him up. We will never sell/trade him or lose him to expansion if he is in Utica. That wasn’t the point. You can’t trade this klown un...

honestly not sure if needs to be protected or not. He played enough games here, but I don't know how the contract rights work in this regard.
But we need to have the protected spot available, just in case! (or I guess an ACTUAL expert could find out)
