Let Demko have another year off. It's not like we need his cap space to open next season anyway so him hitting LTIR after game #1 is fairly inconsequential. Depending on how it all plays out, him returning later next season and playing like the Demko of old could end up netting a solid return with ...

a full year for %100 recovery, Thatchers 30 and already had multiple surgeries

I'm starting to realize that a pick in the top 3 this year will be a gem regardless of who we get. All 3 (as well as Lawrence it seems) will be top calibre pieces to build around.

General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that goaltender Thatcher Demko will undergo hip surgery and will not play for the remainder of the 2025.26 season. Shocking news, I tell ya - shocking! I knew this would happen. How the hell does PA and JR keep their jobs? Francesco has apparently ...

Have we even hit bottom yet?

Keep him around until he's begging for a trade

Fire Rutherford and Allvin now. Promote Johnson to interim and give him the reigns until game 82. We don't need any sort of bump though. Not yet. The losing is just what the Doctor (RIP) ordered Let the old man flush out as much as he can for picks and then throw the reigns over to whoever once the ...

We are also at jersey on ice, bags on heads levels now. I imagine that once the team returns tail between the legs crushed post current roadie we may start hearing sell the team or fire jr chants in the barn. Good times.... And this is just the beginning of the rebuild. It will take years before ...

True, sort of a Hoglander 2.0. I might be biased from his performance at the World juniors.

Mock draft simulator is up. Tried it multiple times and it kept giving me Vancouver picking 4th. https://www.tankathon.com/nhl/mock_draft Ryan Roobroeck - 6'4 C, Canadian kid, ranked anywhere from #2 - #23 depending on the source Viggo Bjork - 5'10 C/RW, Swede, ranked #4 - #22 Tynan Lawrence - 6'0 ...

Probably true, but could work

Braeden Cootes giving praise to undrafted 19 yr. old Ethan MacKenzie in a interview with Drance today. 6'0 LD, wonder if he'll be available for Canucks 2nd rd. pick?
