Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Herb, so much is wrong it what you wrote. First, he gave Horvat tons of ice, more as the season went on. He also made Kenins a regular 4th liner once he got to Vancouver, with a couple of healthy scratches along the way to keep him focused. As for defence, well Clendennng was a late acquisition but...

Unfortunately, Benning inherited some big contracts (Sedin's) which pretty much excludes doing a total rebuild. It will take time to re tool this line up. As far as "kids' are concerned....except for Horvat, who would you have put in the line up this year? You need good young players and we don't h...

IMO Linden and Benning were afforded the greatest opportunity in recent Canucks' history to take their time and build properly. From fans, at least. Who knows what the pressures are from ownership, but it seems like ownership wants sell outs and home playoff dates above all else. I think a lot of fa...

Buffalo is an intriguing location. The weather is about as crappy as Detroit. You gotta think Babcock will have a lot of say in how the team is built. The Sabres are being completely overhauled, so you know Babcock will have a chance to put his stamp on the team. Eichel and Reinhart will be enticing...

At this point, Markstrom isn't really a prospect. Either he makes it in the NHL next year, or he's a career minor leaguer. Miller was supposed to be the interim guy for a year or two. Given where the Canucks are as an organization, Lack's performance these past two seasons and our cap situation, I a...

Developer proposes privately-funded Tukwila arena (suburb of Seattle). http://www.king5.com/story/news/local/2015/04/27/rlb-holdings-tukwila-multipurpose-arena/26461591/ It sure seems like the end result is going to be expansion to Seattle (and Vegas); however, I still hold out hope that the Panther...

Hopefully the trading is left up to Linden and Gilman now that Benning has obviously taken contract negotiations away from Laurence.

Yeah, shitty news for the rest of us. Good news for Oiler fans.

What happened to Mac-T? Not much mention of him in that press release.

The Oilers have some great ingredients but they've got a couple of short order cooks working the line...they need a freaking chef now! Here's hoping they don't get one, and all that talent never quite turns into a team and before you know it Hall, RGN, etc leave as UFAs that that the Oilers can't a...

I guess Edmonton's not the worst destination. Could you imagine if LA, San Jose or even Dallas or Colorado had won the lottery? If Edmonton plays their cards right, they should be in a very desirable spot, but they've bungled this whole rebuild so badly, who knows. They still have a ton of work to d...

Is it possible they can screw this up?

With McTavish and Lowe at the helm, yes, it is possible.

Pretty much the worst outcome, yeah. Buffalo would have been great for us. McDavid could've terrorized the leaves for years and obviously won't have been out west.

Here's hoping the McJesus hype is misguided...

What....the....funk...
