Bang for your buck


He is a list of Canucks forwards and how they compare to the rest of the NHL for cost per point.

Granlund 22
Horvat 38
Sven 113
Megna 164
Chaput 216
Sutter 372
Hansen 426
Hank 430
Gaunce 453
Daniel 456
Burrows 486
Eriksson 537

But the Canucks are an old team, not a young one? The teams you mentioned above don't stink, well maybe Calgary lol, but they certainly have room for improvement. The difference is their core's are primarily made up of young players, the Canucks isn't.

Therein lies the difference, but you can't see past your nose, you think you have a bunch of 18, 19 & 20-year-olds who can't make the playoffs they're a right-off, which is preposterous!

Youth excites me, it gives me hope, they have it, we don't.

Patience. That takes time and Benning added a bunch of players 23 and under already. If they didn't add the young NHL ready players and drafted only, we'd be older... Can't have it both ways Lefty.

You don't think I know they are old?

Christ there has been no one on here screaming more for the last 6 years to move those two 7 million dollar boat anchors and Edler.

I said Two years ago get rid of Burrows and Higgins.

We are paying the price now because of loyalty. I have been beating the drum for years that it would bite us in the ass and now it is.

You will see a much better team aafter next year. We won't be as slow and we won't hopefully be playing a soft game.

Dorsett and Gudbranson along with Tryamkin should give us a bit of grit.

Calgary Winnipeg and Toronto last week were all withing 3 points of us so yes they still stink . We have beaten every one of those teams as much or more than they have beaten us this year.

You and Lefty didn't see eye to eye on the Sedin re-signing some years ago. I know where you stood. I don't usually jump in on these things but this is more giving you credit than anything.

I always knew moving two players would be a monumental task

That's why he cheers for 3 teams

See, you still can't see it lol. Their best players are all youthful, ours are old, except Horvat. They're trending up, we're still trending down, that's the part you can't see for whatever reason.

They're in an enviable position because they're already better than us with teenagers....that's the part that excites me. That's where I want Benning to go!
- LeftCoaster

I agree with that but time is the cure for this I'd like to add.

Cassels is behind Hank BO Sutter Granlund Chaput Gaunce Gaudette.
Ceiling is 4C at best IMO.
Gaudette is hoped as a 3C. If he makes it as 2C we struck gold. 4C is still most likely.
- Nighthawk

I doubt Gaudette bumps Horvat from the 2nd in a couple of seasons after we draft Patrick or Hirscier.

That's why he cheers for 3 teams

Why did Lefty choose 3 terrible teams ?

Long time follower on the board but never a poster, so here goes. First and foremost, I feel fortunate that we have such an excellent blogger in Carol who daily gives us all something to think about and comment on. Second, I'm a decades long Canucks fan.....freaked out when Druken put us back in the playoffs.......Greg Adams! Greg Adams! I made the painful trek to Boston for a humiliating Game 6 and ventured back to Vancouver to sit in pain at the rink for Game 7 and left the rink with my buddy with 8 minutes left in the third and was one of the lucky ones to catch a skytrain out of dodge before the riots began. I have bled the Halloween colors and now the blue and green. I over value our players like many fans do. The word tank isn't in my vocabulary, but seeing an honest effort turn into a lottery pick doesn't hurt my feelings. Winning is the best culture and frank the Oilers or Leafs model. Lottery odds be damped, if it's meant to be, it will be. I'm a JB guy but not a WD guy. I loved Sedinery and will have a tear in my eye when 22 and 33 go to the rafters, but I don't like the Father Time model and know it's going to be tough sledding watching them be the shells of who they were for the next season and a quarter. The new culture won't take over until they are gone and we all have to hope that Bo and the next generation take from them what their legs can't do anymore and carry this franchise proudly for the next generation. I think Burrows and Hansen have played their last games in Canucks colors after Saturdays upcoming game. Miller will be re-signed for 4.5 mil for one year, like it or not. Boeser I hope provides hope that there WILL be Canucks prospects on the way that know what the back of the net is. I proudly have worn my 53 Jersey since the beginning of last year and expect to add a C to it in 2018. Sorry for the long post, but there's a sense of what I feel and look forward to the occasional convo with the regular posters here. Team tank, team glass half full, we all want the same thing. Figuring out how to get there is more than half the fun for those that follow along.

TDL day in Vancouver... priceless

Anyone hoping to see Hansen traded should consider the fact that upon submitting his 8 team list, Benning has 45 days to trade him before that list is voided. Benning will have to have an offer in front of him before talking to Hansen.
Once the list is voided he basically would then have a full no trade clause, so do not be surprised if this is an off season deal or maybe next TDL.

You're all (frank)ing morons.

Button is on 1040...interesting. Basically saying don't bother trading Burrows Miller etc. the return isn't worth it. Also commends Benning for not trading Hamhuis last year

I've been watching you like a hawk the last few years.
You've been saying some pretty dumb things.

I am fine with this. If we can't trade at TDL I am more than happy with him being on our team next season, provided LV doesn't take him from us.
