Do you all feel GG is a good hire, and that he is much better prepared to lead after his AC stint? I don't know a lot about him, seemed like an off the board hire though.

It depends when you ask. The rule of thumb is while anyone is employed by Canucks they are crap. Once they leave the organization they immediately become legends.

Benning had "a lot of calls today" on pick #5. There were "some names in the market place that I hadn't heard before". #Canucks


Benning still isn't looking to move the 5th pick but does expect dialogue to increase in the next week. Has 6 players he likes so happy at 5


Benning maintains he wants to add a 20-30 goal scorer in free agency along with a 2-way fwd. Hasn't made a decision on Higgins & Burrows yet


Benning calls Tkachuk & Dubois foundational players. Says MT is going to be a scorer in NHL w/ better vision than dad. Sees PLD as a center

Good to see Benning using the media to his advantage . He is learning

You havent been here long enough. I was being sarcastic. If this was mid-season you most definitely would have heard about it. You should have seen the uproar when Aaron Volpatti was lost on waivers....

What about when we lost Cracknell to waivers...the hysteria was crippling around here

Who?

Depends on how he goes about it. Duchene is available and our 5OA could be used to get him. I know people want to keep it and draft/develope. But at 25 years old he can be our 1C for 5-8 more years. That is a long time to find a repalcement, and makes us competitive now and keeps us competitive after the sedins. Build something around 5OA+Burrows(cap dump) for Duchene and then send Higgins +2017 4th for a 6th in 2016 or 2017. Trade Hansen for a 1st or 2nd+, Sbisa for a 3rd. Sign Brouwer/Lucic.

Sedin-Sedin-Brouwer
Lucic-Duchene-Sutter
Baer-BoHo-Rodin/Etem
X-Granlund-Dorsett

JV starts in Utica or takes 4th line LW. Not ideal to trade our 5OA, but the proven quality of Duchene is worth the unproven quality of Tkachuk/Dubois.

If only dreams could come true

Oh i understood what you meant. I just seem to hear a lot more about how crazy and "bipolar" canucks fans are than actually hear them being crazy or whatever.
It's some peoples favourite topic to bring up whenever something minor happens, rather than discussing the news itself.

Have you ever ventured to Hockey Futures? It's a full fledged hockey apocalypse over there...I will never return. But yes, we have a bipolar fanbase. Hockey buzz has a lot of rational and knowledgable hockey fans...and some trolls and a few bipolars

Edmontons gritty 3rd line center. He excels on the PK, is great at faceoffs and has the potential to win a Selke while scoring 15-20 goals

At least he didn't hire a Canucks castoff for a coach. Ouch

That's only his trades, drafting has been spot on

Honestly though, none of his trades have made the team worse, he's only given away some cap dollars he shouldn't have.

are we winning?

There's a chance Julien leaves Boston, I know a lot of folks probably don't want to see the guy who beat us but it would be a good fit. He knows how to coach the type of team JB is building.
