Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2014-15
The problem with Kassian is i dont think anyone knows what kind of player he is. When he got here he was a physical presence. Running around hitting people fighting you noticed him. Earlier this season when management was asking for more in that department from him people cam to his defense and said...

Re: Canucks acquire Adam Clendening
Edler is on a terrific contract and is the only d man above 200 pounds. May as well tear the entire thing down if you are trading him . It would cost 6 or 7 million per year to replace him in the open market. I understand trading Bieksa or Hamhuis but dealing Edler makes little sense . Scorched ear...

Trade Deadline 2015 - Canucks
You are the GM of the Canucks. Presumably you are looking to get younger and try and find guys who can be top 6 forwards in the next 2 years before Virtanen, McCann etc get a good look. Who are you shopping around ? My list: Lack (or Markstrom) - I dont think you get much for either (maybe a 2nd or ...

Re: Canucks acquire Adam Clendening
Dont take my post as saying todays d is better. But realistically we are rebuilding. we have transitioned from that veteran group to a younger group. Some of our youth may or may not develop enough to be as good as the group from 2011 but you need to transition and i think we started that by getting...

Re: Canucks buy Peoria Rivermen - AHL
Saskatoon is still a long way to the next closest team. I think the point of having 5 teams in the west is to cut down on travel. Being Calgary's farm team was used as an excuse for the Heat dying but Im not as convinced. A lot of people boycotted as well due to the deal the owners signed with the c...

Re: Trades and rumours (& fantasies) 2014-15
I'm tired of listening to people who want to blame anyone other than Kassian for his career so far. He has had 3 coaches here and yet people want to blame them ?? Really ? The guy doesnt do anything. 6 points all year and the worst +- amongst the forwards. He has played mostly on the 3rd line but ha...

Re: Canucks buy Peoria Rivermen - AHL
Abby still doesnt have a tenant but I would think it would be in California somewhere. Possibly Portland Oregon ?

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Tony G has also hated on Linden since he was part of the PA that wanted to get a deal done and ultimately went behind Goodenow's back and got the deal done in 2005.

Re: Canucks acquire Adam Clendening
Good move. Trades a guy who was just a 5th round pick for a ready now d man with some decent upside. 3 years ago we had: Edler 25 Bieksa 30 Hamhuis 29 Salo 37 Rome 28 Ballard 29 Alberts 30 Cap hit 20.5 mill AVG age 29.7 yrs TODAY Edler 28 Hamhuis 32 Sbisa 25 Tanev 25 Stanton 25 Corrado 21 Clendening...

Re: Canucks minor signings
TSN reports they have resigned Michael Zalewski. Strange because the Canucks anounced on March 14th that he had signed. So not sure if he has actually resigned or TSN just found out ??

Canucks minor signings
Probably doesnt need a thread by itself but Canucks have signed Bobby Sanguinetti to a 1 year $600k deal if he plays in the NHL.

Re: July 1, 2014, (and beyond) trades, signings , rumours
I would have rather done the Iginla deal than the Miller deal. Having Iginla on the 2nd line would have made it a legit scoring line even with Bonino and Kassian. They need someone to elevate that line.

Re: CANUCKS SIGN RYAN MILLER
I would have gone to 3 years or 6 mill but both kind of hurts. If they needed to go 3 years I would have thought they could have gone lower $ amount. I prefer Hiller at 2 years 4.5. Apparently Linden called Lack before it was announced to let him know. Wonder why Acquilini didnt fly over to let Lack...

Re: Draft Day 2014
Overall Im pretty happy with the last few days. IMO the organization should know in 3 years if a player is still a prospect or if he will be a bust. If you look at our prospect list (prior to this weekend) we had no real prospects that are on the farm that are 20-23 year old. A team needs players in...

Re: Benning
Benning is making a good first impression. Seems decisive & a straight shooter. Gets right down to work. Kesler & Garrison for Bonino, Sbisa, Vey, Dorsett, & McCcann. Very much a list of Quantity for Quality, IMO. Nice that the drama queen (Kesler) and a slightly overpaid guy (Garrison) are gone, b...
