Re: Canucks land another Russian: Vitaly Kravtsov

I guess we can officially close the door on the putrid 2016 draft. Once Brock is gone, Thatcher Demko will be the lone asset to come out of the Benning’s first THREE drafts with any amount of stock. <shakes head> Same sad story, different puppets. So until then, we have a top -6 winger and a starti...

What’s the deal?
And apparently Poile is retiring, to be replaced by Trotz as GM in the summer.

Good thing we destroyed whatever credibility the franchise has left to grab Tocchet while he was still available!

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

JR wouldn't have taken the gig at his age if he didn't secretly believe this also. Now with reality setting in and a meddling owner who can't help himself, there "could be" some truth in the rumours coming out (for once). See, I don't believe Rutherford would have taken this gig if he was being man...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Mikheyev was pacing for 50+ points playing on one leg. He plays both ends of the rink. That’s a bad contract for 4.75? Yes it is, it's 4.75 for 28 points, which is perfectly average for his career. Some of us noted at the time it was extremely unlikely that IRlya would turn into a solid 40+ point w...

Nice! I know nothing about BMX, but I found a 70s Evel Kneivel BMX bike, trying to trace it back I think it was a Hoffman? , I wanted to pick it but it was an auction and got up to 500 or so.

Still, woulda been cool

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Schenner is already defacto man in the room. Would be nice to make it so on the ice too. But I think he will be sold. Lots of interest now, more so at the deadline. I've heard talk about a 3rd rounder valuation, if he may re sign on a team friendly deal, honestly I wouldn't bother trading him for s...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

If they hadn't extended Petersson they could have kept Bo. Is that how you do it? Not quite. You see, Petey was extended before last season, by the previous GM. Benning left himself the room to extend his two best players, rather than adding superfluous ufas and being forced to trade them. IRlya wa...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Well the opposite of that is true too. If they had waited until Tocchet took over Kuzmenko May nat have wanted sign so a brilliant move to get it done now. Kuzmenko needs to learn a better D game and I think he will. He is too good a hockey player and plays with pride. Well, they chose to sign IRly...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

A statue for Dustin Brown. #9 retired for Adam Graves. The list goes on :roll: I suppose the residents in our rafters aren't as bad as people think. But I would say a statue for Roger Neilson waving the towel is probably the worst undeserved tribute there is. I will always think that if AV had had ...

Re: Past Canuck Players

Dude needs a little humility like the other Russkies we have because he certainly has NHL game IMO. I respectfully disagree, he needs to play like the biggest, scariest dude on the ice. He needs to play like the guy who as a rookie ragdolled Jamie Benn into irrelevance. It's fine that he doesn't wa...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

I don't mind that JR/PA came in here and felt that the culture needed to change. We all have said that at some point, and I don't even mind if they identified that Horvat leaving was part of changing that culture. In fact, I've said before that I felt that every player that was part of the Sedin-le...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Watch Miller tear it up now that Bo is gone and fuck up our well oiled tank (I don't think he will this year...I think he lounged hard this past summer and didn't train enough) Funnily enough, despite the media bombardment and the bad month of December, JT is on pace for 73 points and his 2nd-best ...

I dunno about that - have you seen our new coaching staff?

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Jannik Hansen thinks the weight of the C in this market will drag Hughes or Pettersson down. He thinks go with a vet for an interim period before you go there. I kind of agree. https://twitter.com/Sportsnet650/status/1620550576122773506?s=20&t=NowIOtpDtbBjqtcmq387iw Who's your preferred vet for the...
