Well core players is Bo and blue chip prospects are Demko Juolevi and Boeser. Everyone else should be fair game.

Just an example if Winnipeg traded Trouba for Tanev and Hansen.

Landeskog would be a lot higher and might be unattainable. I would look at one blockbuster to start.

I would also want to move contracts early especially Eriksson

Can Eriksson be exposed?

I thought we were a bubble team to make the playoffs. Now I realize we are the worst team in the league.
- thundachunk

Ditto. I don't think we should wait until 2-3 years when contracts expire to change the image of the team

I'll be very surprised if we loose tonight, and it doesn't hit the fan Wednesday.

We tried waiting already. It didn't work.

No . This is why I keep suggesting a coaching change. I am not blaming WD even though I don't like him. I want players to want out of here.

I hoped we would be competitive. I for sure expected more out of Eriksson. I still don't think that we're the worst team in the league but we are definitely in the conversation.

Im not blaming WD either. Doesn't mean he isn't a sh!tty coach.

Exactly.

We are losing anyways so bring in a Torts type coach that the players hate. Change the style of the team so long term players beg to get traded

Yeah I think it is time to bring in hockey people . Dale Tallon comes to mind. He is good at starting from scratch.

This draft doesn't seem like the best so if we sell off assets I would rather see them for top prospects than draft picks.

If we could replace Tanev for Trouba or pick up a Landeskog I would be much more interested in those kind of moves. It would be costly, but like I said I haven't heard many good things about the draft, nor bad things.

My vote is for Theo Epstein - break our curse Theo

I don't think it's fair to write Eriksson off as bust yet. It's been 13 games and if you look at his history it is well documented that he starts slow with new teams. Now, he certainly needs to get going soon or that signing will look terrible, but to be fair we have a few guys who haven't been scoring who are supposed to be.

My vote would be Hartley. We know what style he likes. I think a year of him with the threat of bringing him back may get players to drop their NTC.

And we have the right not to read his drivel. Imagine if he reacted like some posters here when he's told we don't read his posts.

lol which is why none of us posters generally read his stuff. His stuff was cross-posted by another poster. I wouldn't waste my time reading his stuff

I can't understand how you guys thought that. I tried to tell you before the season started, and got mocked. Your team was second worst in goals scored last season, second worst in shots allowed, and near the bottom in goals allowed. You're 3 best players are on the doorstep to retirement, 36 years old, and will be in steep decline for the next couple of seasons. There wasn't a single player on the team last year under the age of 35 to score a mere 40 points.

The Canucks roster is a total disaster. It's approaching the level of garbage of the Buffalo Sabres, when they traded off anyone that played well enough to possibly pull them out of last place, in a bid to try to get McDavid.

But, don't worry about it. It's the best thing that could happen to you guys. Way better than trying to scrape along and snag 8th place for years. This should pretty definitively tell Canucks management, there are no bandaids that will stop the hemorhaging.

Sorry, MORE than 40 points.

That must make you feel so much better.

Hell, if you guys are really lucky, you bottom out, AND it costs Benning his job.

Cool story bro. If you're going to tell us all about our favourite hockey team, at least get your main point right.

Cool story yourself. Bro (Do grown adults actually talk like that??).

The main point IS right. You're just nitpicking on one little slight misstatement.

man, why do you care? As far as I'm concerned, it's NOT their team, it's ours. I don't even care about baseball all that much, but when the fans from another city who have never won a damn things themselves get arrogant and rip into the Leafs, as far as I'm concerned, they can get their own baseball, basketball, whatever team.

They're not welcome. They're the losers with nothing. These are our teams.

It's not like they can go to games, or whatever.

Leave them alone. What a stupid argument. "you WILL support our team whether you like it or not".
