I would grab Gaazdic . surprise surprise, I think Kadri and Martin would both welcome him Dec 3 rd.

Seriously though Skille brings nothing at least Gazdic would provide fight

Skille has been pretty much invisible, not a fan...nice practise player though (that's what we used to call guys who look awesome in practise, never in a game)

Gazdic is a one dimensional player but he would be a cheap protection policy until this team makes changes

All star MVP

So Jake goes down for two games and accomplishes piss all and gets rewarded with a recall...

Thats a great message to send to those on the farm who are actually producing. Wtf is the plan going forward with regards to J. V because his development at this point, has been utterly incomprehensible???

J.B and W.D do not appear to be on the same page.

That would be hilarious.

Faster than the Sedins. You wouldn't get f@cktards like Kadri taking runs at them.

Canucks president Linden doesn't plan on stepping down

Trevor Linden isn't going to give up on the Vancouver Canucks.

The team's president of hockey operations and alternate governor told Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman that he has no plans to resign amid a slow start.

Friedman relayed their conversation in Saturday's edition of "Headlines" on Hockey Night in Canada.

"I did ask him (Saturday), I said, 'Is any of this true?', and he said, 'Look, I came into this job with my eyes wide open. I knew there was a chance we were going to go through a difficult time. I accept that, I get the criticism and the scrutiny,' but ... he says he's not going anywhere. He is staying in his current role."

The Canucks are 5-9-1 through 15 games, and only the Calgary Flames have a worse goal differential than Vancouver's minus-16 mark.

Linden was hired by the Canucks in his dual role back in April 2014.

Maybe I am bias but I dont feel Linden is the problem. I have a problem with coaching staff period. WD doesn't get the most from his players.

Best case scenario, new owner and they completely clean house from top to bottom, everyone!!! Get the poison out of the system and start fresh.

We heard you the first time.

- Marwood

Yeah. Well when we keep hearing things like Eriksson was an Aqualini decision it sure starts to ring true when you consider past history of interference during the Gillis era.

Who can afford to buy them? A Canadian? American or other?

just when it looks hopeless the canucks will start winning, there not playing that bad just need to start scoring at key times and get some breaks around the net, with there structure defensively they can go on a winning streak then the tune around here changes.

Does it matter?

When we picked him 6th overall (ahead of some very notable and already successful NHL players) I was hoping for an offensively gifted and dynamic player.

He has yet to demonstrate that at any level (NHL, AHL, WJC) outside perhaps the WHL.

This team appears to be rewarding his mediocrity while simultaneously punishing him for innoportunity lol

I would love that. You're fired.

Could be the wake up call he needed. Rumour has it his own time hasn't been spent wisely.
