Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I'd be more comfortable dealing Tanev or Corrado plus say Hansen (or similar plug and play forward) + #6 pick for # pick than putting Jensen or Gaunce in that deal. Jensen had his first real burst on to the scene, and shows real potential as a sniper, and Gaunce has been buried in depth chart by Hor...

' Isles will be keeping their 2014 1st-round pick and will send 2015 1st to Sabres to complete Thomas Vanek deal. Announcement to come. ' So the Islanders have to be competitive next season, wonder if we can unload a roster player, so they can compete and we clear some cap/roster space, to the Isla...

Had to comment on Gallagher's laughable column this morning, about how Linden needs to hurry up enacting his plan (or maybe he doesn't have one, because because...Gallagher hasn't seen it!). Apparently Trevor took Gallagher more seriously then you did. ;) Ha, true enough, Gollum has his column mate...

Had to comment on Gallagher's laughable column this morning, about how Linden needs to hurry up enacting his plan (or maybe he doesn't have one, because because...Gallagher hasn't seen it!). The reason? Not really clear, since season ticket holders have until early July to get a refund. What's the r...

I say we trade up in the draft and grab Reinhart. What would it take? #6 overall + Edler for #1 overall?? Ed Ler reunited with his pal Lu Wongo in Fabulous Florida. If Fla would go for that, that would be great. I just don't know if it's enough. If we did get the #1, tough call, but I'd go for Ekbl...

Anyone else think the league may throw Linden a bone for all his hard work getting the lockout to end and let the Canucks win the lottery tomorrow :) 6.1% chance of that happening... :roll: Question is, who would you want the team to pick in that event? My choice would be Eckblad. Bennett and Reinh...

Anyone else think the league may throw Linden a bone for all his hard work getting the lockout to end and let the Canucks win the lottery tomorrow :) I had the same mischevious thought too. Just like Mario's Pens got "lucky" and won the Crosby lottery. Maybe Bettman will put his fingers on the scal...

Good on the Canucks for not pulling a Calgary - heck, Calgary didn't even pull a Calgary this year - by getting hot at the end and screwing up the pick. The 6 spot, probably, should garner a good player. I can live with some mediocrity if the kids are playing, learning, and getting better. Now, next...

ok what drafting spot do we hope to get? We've got an outside shot at #6, Car, Nash, and Ott have games in hand. If they all pass, could be 6, and also a slightly improved chance in the lottery for #1. I realize they did not tank intentionally tonight, but man if anyone wanted to make that accusati...

Really not worried about trying to tank, this team is 2nd last in goals for and has the worst record in the league since January 1st. They don't need to try and suck because they will naturally. Good point, and I don't mean to imply the tank would be intentional. They'll play hard, or they won't, f...

fair enough. As far as Calgary goes, a win is a win. Period. It's a building block to garner confidence. I think they should try and make the playoffs and try and do as well as they can. On draft day, if there is someone they are creaming their pants over, they can execute a trade. We did it last y...

I agree it's a crapshoot, but it becomes more of a crapshoot the later in the draft you get. You certainly get top 5 busts, but many more who don't make it in the 15-30 range. I say tank for two reasons. 1) I am not just being a cynical Canuck fan (anyone who has seen me post over the years will kno...

I guess some didn't get the memo about tanking; watch us finish 9th in the conference, the most pointless place in the standings, no playoffs, no top pick...damn, this team doesn't even know how to lose properly; give it up already.

I now read the league standings in reverse, no longer who can we catch; now, who can we hope catches us. There's no use "just" missing the playoffs...tank it up, boys, tank it up, let's get that pick up the board.
