McCaan was rushed into the NHL we all know that. He had a cocky little boy entitlement attitude to go along with his immaturity. Had we left him a year longer in junior he may have been a great surprise for us. We were so desperate for some exciting young players both he and Virtanen were rushed.

There you go! That's it exactly, bang on. The fans and the team wanted to see a Pavel Bure or close proximity right off the bat, and all
they got was something more like an immature, early, Matthew Tkachuk. Couldn't help it. Kidding.

Oh well, connect the dots and the team got one wee moment, at home, against the leaves. Right?

100%

Turning McCann+33 Overall into Tanner Pearson is not great asset management for a rebuilding team.

I only brought up McCann because the Dude is ready to tar and feather Dahlen. Fans like him eat up everything management says after they trade a guy. Vancouver managers over the last 40 years feel the need to sometimes trash a guy( especially the younger players)after he’s gone. All the way back to Milford and Neale through to Quinn and Burke and Gillis and now Elmer. The only guy I don’t remember doing this is Dave Nonis. It looks pretty classless.

McCann - “is a superstar. He’s on Team Canada! The Worlds FFS! To be rubbing shoulders with Tyler Bertuzzi, Adam Henrique, Matthieu Jossph, Kyle Turiris, Anthony Cirelli, Dylan Strome, Anthony Mantha, Darnell Nurse, Damon Severson, Troy Stecher, is a ringing endorsement to the special player that he is!. Foundational!”

You sure about that one? It sounds quite forced on your part, like you didn’t want to

How come Gudbranson wasn’t asked?

How come Loui Eriksson was asked?

Is he gone yet?

That's like; Are we there yet? I remember on their Labor Day vacation when Christina Applegate said that in the back seat
of the Bundy family red Mustang.

+2. This is what many of the infants haven’t been able to process

... said the guy who liked the Gudbranson trade at the time.

Also the guy who realized fairly soon into Gudbranson’s tenure that he was not much of a hockey player.

Because he figured out the guy was a garbage fire playing more than sheltered bottom pairing minutes
