Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

The idea of accumulating picks assumes there is a law of averages. No. It recognizes JB's drafting skills and seeks to exploit those skills as much as possible. based on a law of averages No. Based on the FACT that there are a limited number of players who will turn out to be solid or excellent NHL...

No.

I just have to laugh at the posters who are proclaiming the rebuild to be finished on the heels of 22 wins in regulation. I just have to laugh at posters whom proclaim playing the lottery every time it's available to be played is a prudent way to build a winner. Who has proclaimed this? I think mos...

Interesting article on Canucks D which focusses on their ability to transition:

I don't recall giving you permission to use my image/likeness.

But it is quite appropriate so..... I'll let it go. This time.

Yes, please.

To be clear, no thank you to Lucic.

Sorry for trying to derail the conversation in a sad and misguided attempt to exact some form of revenge. Truth is I don't even know what reporting and roster bonuses are... or if they're included in the AAV. Fixed for truth and accuracy. :mex: :roll: The irony of you speaking about truth and accur...

This Labanc contract in San Jose is weird - 17 goals, 39 assists, 56 points... ...and he signs for $1 million? Is Lebanc's contract full of bonuses? No, bonuses are only allowed on ELCs and 35+ contracts now. Other than signing, reporting and roster bonuses Obviously, in context, Mad and I were dis...

I want a peek into that alternate reality where they win that game 7 and actually beat boston in 2011. Does the dude still troll there or does that one extra win silence all the noise? I'm gonna rip a fattie and see if i can answer that question Answer: We're all still drunk and happy. Blob and the...

Good signing for you guys. :thumbs: Unconfirmed report: Today @ 3:29 PM ET Deal contains NMC in first 2 years then a Modified NTC in last 2 years. Also contains 2 million signing bonus. Not sure if this means he has to be protected in the expansion draft because is full NMC runs until June 30th. Se...

Is Lebanc's contract full of bonuses? No, bonuses are only allowed on ELCs and 35+ contracts now. Other than signing, reporting and roster bonuses and in certain conditions where a player has played over 400 games, has been on LTIR 100 or more days in the most recent season and signs a one-year SPC.

So based on your above statement, Ericksson was overpaid when he initially signed in Vancouver. Glad you finally admit that.

https://www.tsn.ca/vancouver-canucks-sign-forward-micheal-ferland-to-four-year-14-million-deal-1.1335610 Good job Jim Yep it's a nice signing at those numbers - again a year too long but that's to be expected in FA. At least Bo has a winger to play with and the team should be better with Ferland in...

Canucks could have traded for Luongo avoiding his retirement and allowing him to go on LTIR (which from the reports was what he had intended to go on but was convinced otherwise by the Panthers) . Would you mind linking to those "reports"? Here is one. I believe I also heard it listening to Sportsn...
