You've watched too many Edmonton Oilers' seasons and it's damaged your brain.RoyalDude wrote:Should the Canucks tank it and put themselves in a position to draft Vancouver raised Sam Reinhart?
*LOL* I wouldn't mind, but I doubt it'll happen though. The Nucks are a middle of the pack team and will battle hard for one of the last playoff spots. Plus, I'm sure the Aqua-man wants his team to make the playoffs for his playoff revenue. If the team is not even in contention and finishes among the last with that payroll, u know heads will roll.RoyalDude wrote:Should the Canucks tank it and put themselves in a position to draft Vancouver raised Sam Reinhart?

Intellectualism and BikerDude do not mix well...I can't believe he would advocate to tank like a hapless cOiler...dbr wrote:RoyalDude wrote:Just trying to fuel the fires of intellectual debate, Blobby Old Milwaukees.
By the same logic I guess people who get the death penalty and are put down by lethal injection are just trying to advance medical science..
Seriously though, I don't think people who advocate tanking realize just how awful the worst teams in the league are right now, and also how far back we'd have to claw just to get to where we are now let alone to the top of the heap (and how much harder it would be if we did what it would take to be the 30th overall team).
What's worse is that if we intentionally got rid of enough players to be that bad, we wouldn't have a hope in hell of replacing them in free agency (and the good players we did have would probably walk unless we paid through the nose to keep them.. think about what guys like Mikko Koivu and Rick Nash and Travis Zajac and so on cost their desperate employers).
Pretty much agree with this. A quick fix rental trade for a Camelleri type won't amount to a hill of beans, we are too far away from contending to justify thus type of trade, but I fully expect Gillis to do something desperately stupid like this further fucking the future health of this club. He is not the man for the job. He has held onto this core group for too long. We need a Bold GM, Mike is hampered by his Players Agent loyaltyReefer2 wrote:The Canucks are an entire 2nd line from being legit plus a true #1 d-man.
I disagree, I think we have some good prospects and I don't want to see any stupid trades to get someone for only a few months. I would like to see a real opportunity being given to some of them next season and we wait for them to mature.RoyalDude wrote:Pretty much agree with this.

I agreed with you then and what we have been witnessing is proof that he should have been shopped aggressively.Topper wrote:So folks were up in arms when I suggested the time was ripe to trade Burrows. I am having a good laugh at all the folks bitching about him now.
