There is no need for this vile and sneaky attack.

No need, it's just part of the agenda.

What would you think if the canucks were sold to a new one as that's the current rumour.

Would depend who

That's the danger new owner could as they won't have any allegence. The NHL may prefer expansion dollars for Seattle so that may insulate such a move. Then again if things deteriorate too much it could be seen like how Coyotes moved around from city to city as a regional transfer as Seattle is close enough and richer market. A lot of unknowns. Why a quicker rebuild may be better for this club.

There is no chance in hell the team moves to Seattle for at least 10 years. You don't just uproot 40+ years of history because of a couple of lean years.

Glendale is 10 miles from Phoenix, not 150 miles like Vancouver to Seattle. Putting a bit more thought into it might help.

Okay point taken... all good ... so what do you think about current Canuck trajectory...?

Most new owners do get involved in their new toy and look to effect changes. Unless it's some corporate purchase that doesn't have a single figure head to influence. But either way no new owner is going to just sit back and not be involved in making any changes to a new purchase. If they are good ones then every one will be happy. But usually these changes are over business and not sacrificing for fans.

Jerry Jones, Mark Cuban, Murray Pezim, George Steinbrenner and so on and so on

Bettman would love that but would we riot in Vancouver if that happened? Wonder if Ryan Beedie would be interested in buying.

Bettman has been clear that the NHL would much rather an expansion team in Seattle over a relocation and the last thing Bettman wants is a team to move out of a market like Vancouver.

Cmon Vantel you can convince a rich buddy to put in a bid can't you?

It's in the realm of possibility like a regional move Islanders did one too.

It's not likely but many thought no way in hell Britain would leave EU or Trump get elected. poop happens when uncertainty sets in.

That said Canucks aren't going anywhere now and if they figure things out sooner then later things will improve to erase any such doubts.

Didn't Pezim just die recently?

Michael Heisley?

Yeah let's not bring up that douchebag who took the Grizzlies out of town

Didn't Pezim just die recently?

I think either last year or 2 years ago? He was flamboyant that's for sure.

No it's not.

Again, the Islanders moved with NYC not to a different country. It's still more likely the Bills move to Toronto than it is the Canucks move to Seattle, and that's not bloody likely either.

You guys are Fkn incredible, every day someone else is responsible for the poop show that is the Canucks. Last week it was JB, this week everyone was ready to sacrifice WD at the alter, and today its FA.

This is a multi-million dollar business. They employ a huge staff and the on-ice product is ONE FACET OF A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS. If you think you can do better, how come no one is reaching out to you and your infinite wisdom?

The whining and the blame is becoming intolerable. You all should be sent to the comets message board until you've matured and can deliver post after post, consistantly

For sure Bettman only does things that makes the owners money.

This has been my message for awhile.

If he demands the team be competitive now, then he is in fact in the way of their success.

You're just a couple of bounces away from being a good poster.

That is one of the core mandates of his position as chairman of the board.

that seems half way positive so i'm going to assume that it's sarcasm.
