Yup

I can't see this team being a bottom 10 unless they try and tank.

I don't know. There's gonna be a handful or veterans moved this summer.

I hear he doesn't read the game as well as Ekblad. I would certainly take him though. finally a possible franchise D

My faith is the opposite that some of the prospects will start to make an impact. I can't say right now whether they will make the playoffs next season because i don't know what is going to happen in FA or at the draft.

In the limited times I've seen him, I haven't seen that.

I only saw him twice, so I only went on what I read somewhere on him.

A couple top five picks would do wonders for the club if they select well. I'm all for inserting kids into the line-up next year, providing they've earned it. If they lose, I'll still show-up and watch...BUT...if they continue to roll out the same ol' poop as they did this year - I'm done!!

I'd like them to win every game or least be entertaining to watch, that's all I ask as a fan...be entertaining. Stop hanging on for dear life and (frank)in get on with it...and stop BS'ing me along the way...I'm not stupid Mr. Benning!!!

Birthday present for Nucker

Don't worry guys, he'll be in high demand in the trade market just like Jeff Finger was!

I don't think he's horrible at all, I think he is about the equivalent of Pavelec in Winnipeg. Some good some bad.

He has value, that's my point, I'm sick and tired of the organization letting guys walk away for nothing and not building towards the future. If one of Bieksa or Hamhuis isn't traded before their contracts expire I'm gonna be (frank)in LIVID!!!

Both.

In goals Moses and Markstrom

With rookies Sven Gren Clen and Virtanen

Coupled with the long in the tooth gang Bieksa Burrows Higgins Sedins and Hamhuis

And topped with the brain dead Duo Sbisa and Edler is a formula for top 10

Aquilini is just as much to blame, he's trying to accomplish something that's very difficult to do(especially with mediocre scouting).

Myself as well. JB has a couple of weeks to figure out his draft strategy and get his wish list together. His next presser better be less vague.

I feel as if the next thing you're going to tell me is that vans bringing torts back.

Its arguable he was the worst coach in franchise history. And Im willing to battle that remark.

If the weak links step up this year, EDM, SJ, LA, top 10 may not be unreasonable.

Fighting over goalies...

Yes... There is a logjam-- Let them sort it out in camp and address it from there.

Build that damn D-Core. These clowns are not going to practice their way out of it.

They suck. Case closed.

Are you guys even watching what Chicago's top 4 dman are doing?

If you are-- Do you honestly think the Canucks D-Core is even HALF as good?

Should get there through trades
Or having a massive stock pile of players that don't have space on the roster so we trade them for picks.

I don't give a shyte about the goalies either, trade two for all I care. Rebuild, let the cards fall where the may. Focus on other more important issues.

They were damn good; however, I don't think some of you guys appreciate just how good Seabs and Keith are.

The Hawks top 4 D took a BEATING against the Sucks... And all they did was dial it up another gear.

When Boston tried to rough them up. They matched it and then shifted into another gear. The B's had no answer for the speed and skill.

That D-Core dictates the flow and pace of the game.

They are the best in the league... And it shows.

We will be finishing bottom 10 anyways

Guaranteed top 3 pick then

And it always comes back to the defence, as it should. Regretfully this team is not at the stage this where this really matters.
