Re: The Rebuild...
Benning has to go out and get a Bourque, Orr, Potvin or Lidstrom! If Elmer can't do something that simple, he needs to go.

Re: The Rebuild...
If JB actually is the genius the cultists keep raving about, such a feat should be easily attainable for him. Or can't he pick "generational" defensemen to go along with his "generational" forwards?
Agreed, but has anyone claimed Gillis to be a genuis?

Re: The Rebuild...
So, you are saying we need a generational player, or at least the best in their position player, and getting them is simple. Peter Chiarelli/Lou Lamoriello simple, eh Dude???
By the way, who in the league fits that description you gave above?

The JuJu man was drafted by a the Genius.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

Re: The Rebuild...
Throughout most of the Crawford/Vigneault eras, the Canucks consistently had at least one defenceman over 40 points, and 2-3 in the mid-30s. From 01/02 to 13/14, there was only one season without a 40+ point Dman.
Under 3 years of Willie, the best output was Edler's 31 points in 14/15 (I believe he had a red-hot streak to end the season), since then nobody's cracked 25 points - and it doesn't look like any blueliner on this year's squad will either.
After AV's first season in NY, he's had a 40+ point dman and 2-3 in the mid-30s each of the past 3 seasons.
I wouldn't be able to put my finger on it, but I suspect its as much a systems issue as a skills issue, remembering those seasons where Sopel got 42 points and Baumgartner got 34 points under Crow...

Seriously though, we don't need to get into any Karlsson sweepstakes.

Re: The Rebuild...
It’s definitely more a skill issue. Ohlund, Ehrhoff, Bieksa, Hamhuis, Young Edler, Jovo, Sopel >>>>>>> Pouliot, Hutton, Stecher, Old Edler, Gudbranson, and the army of slugs Elmer has brought in.ESQ wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2018 9:51 pm Throughout most of the Crawford/Vigneault eras, the Canucks consistently had at least one defenceman over 40 points, and 2-3 in the mid-30s.

Re: The Rebuild...
He might be. I don’t think he is going to be a true quarterback type guy , more of an all situations type who moves the puck well and plays on one of the pp units. Either way he is one guy but in today’s NHL the good teams have most of all or their d men able to jump up into the rush and play good D. This ass end needs a major overhaul. Have a look at the guys Nashville can throw out there for 3/4 of the game or Tampa Bay.

Re: The Rebuild...
Juolevi and Tryamkin ( when he returns and you know he will) is a good start, just need to keep chipping away at it. Brisebios is spreading his wings, I like this Chatfield.
The Avalanche managed to shore up there future D in short order by drafting Makar and Timmins last draft and traded for Girard. JimBro has the ability to shore up the D future, he's done some fine work in the forward position. Onwards and upwards - JimBro Benning

Re: The Rebuild...
We absolutely DON’T know if Tryamkin will return. Chatfield is soon to be 22 and has a meagre 4 assists in 32 games in Utica. Elmer has traded away basically an entire round of draft picks for Pedan, Pouliot, Larsen and Gudbranson. There’s a decent chance none of those guys are with the organization next season. Forsling was inexplicably given away for Clendenning. So you have elderly prospect Mcaneny and butter soft no offence Brisebois in the system and that’s it. The D is a mess.

Re: The Rebuild...
Quite frankly, Tryamkin's agent, unless he is on some sort of weird patriotic agenda, should be telling him to cash in on the Canucks for next year.
Your numbers are great. Your health is good. The team is desperate for what you can bring.
Every year you wait now, intangibles could change everything.
Is this wrong?
