Re: Canucks News and Notes
There's no need for emoticons or any of that, it's simple math. We finished bottom 5 for the first time in nearly 20 years and it just happens to be the first year after they changed the format.. that, you can about.

Re: Canucks 2016 Post Season Discussion
Nice quote but I didn't say don't spend money, I said don't rush to spend it, and ya! I think I know the fans need something. People should take the time to read posts instead of speed scanning them and then maybe they would pick-up the gist of them and corrections like these would be unnecessary ;...

Re: Canucks 2016 Post Season Discussion
It amazes me how when you put a little money in peoples hands, all they want to do is spend it on WTF ever is out there. Why not keep it and wait ? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Particularly when you have a pretty damn dismal record of .. snatching birds .. like say Scott Niedermayer...

They are not. The odds of us picking 5th overall are higher than the combined odds of picking in the top three.BladesofSteel wrote:Odds are very much in favour of Vancouver landing a Finn at the draft.

Re: Canucks 2016 Post Season Discussion
Schenn's cap hit was $3.6m. Philadelphia retained a bunch of that contract, and Vincent Lecavalier's, in the trade.

Re: 2016 NHL ENTRY DRAFT
Of course. I specifically avoided mentioning how many he interviews because you'd hope he's doing due diligence and interviewing players projected to go well below the team's current spot (although I can't imagine a realistic offer that would be worth dropping from say... #2 to #7). Nevermind taking...

Re: 2016 NHL ENTRY DRAFT
If we pick in the top 3 and Benning does not pick one of the consensus top three players, he had god damned well better know something the rest of the scouting community does not..

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
Catching up on the weekend posts and all I've learned is that if guys in rocky bromances start to seek help, Rats has got a career in couples therapy if he wants it.

Re: Canucks sign Thatcher Demko
So the Canucks had to be rebuilt due to 6 years of the Gillis drafting and developing gong show. In just two drafts we've landed Virtanen, McCann, Demko, Tryamkin, Boeser. Traded a 2nd for Baertschi, signed Stecher. Benning, you rebuilding genius you. Can you imagine what the genius could do in 6 d...

Re: Canucks sign Thatcher Demko
Gasp - Benning signed a player that was drafted by the team. Never seen another GM do that before, he must be a genius. Frack some of you are hilarious, he does what 90% of GMs do in the league and you rank him up there with Jesus. I haven't seen anyone (who appears to be looking to be taken seriou...

Re: Canucks News and Notes
Friedman reporting they have a "verbal agreement."
Glad to see that Demko is ready to move his career forward, aside a better last game of the season I don't know what else he had to gain in the NCAA.

Re: Canucks 2016 Post Season Discussion
Yeah I don't think I'd trade Demko this year, but if he elects to hit UFA his trade value will be nil.

Re: Canucks 2016 Post Season Discussion
Jesus christ, yes it is an infatuation.. certainly has nothing to do with what I was talking about unless someone here wants to put Lucic on the blueline. I guess watching him skate backward would increase the entertainment value?
