Eriksson was a (frank) up, I was hoping once the twins were done that would be the end of the bad deals. - VanHockeyGuy
I'll give Erikson another year before making that call.
The whole team (except Bo) has been a frank up offensively.
The Sedin's retire after next year, we still need some leadership/vet presence going forward. Loui should fill that role nicely by that point. |

funny part about the "tank" people is they still come in here and act like d-bags. They seem like the rest of us don't know that the team isn't doing well and is going to get a top pick.
Who cares, i'm glad Van is going to get a top pick, It's been 15 years since this team had top picks. That's longer then most players NHL careers so it's about time we suck. |

lol Those are the stats for the TML.
and Van isn't tanking, tanking is when you try and lose. This team just sucks right now. - manvanfan
We're as close to tanking as you can get at this point (selling players for futures).
Ain't nobody going to be surprised to hear that the Sedins and other vets get 'shut down' sooner or later.
Time to see what Goblin, Cramrossa, Boucher and others can do. Tryouts for next year. |

Every team that isn't going to make the playoffs makes trades at the TDL, it's just been so long since Van did it. Doesn't mean Tank. Selling off everyone and star players like Toronto did is tank. Sold 2 vets one on an expiring contract and the other because of the expansion draft basically. Tank isn't needed when your team sucks.
Would need a different coach for that to happen. |

It's not been an intentional season long tank like toronto/buffalo, but, mgmt clearly saw the light and has packed it in for the season.
If we see Vets being 'shut down' for the season, i think that equals tank in a lot of ways and at this stage in the season, i'm ok with it. we gave it a shot with our best players and we fell on our face, no dishonor in that.
I guess there are different degrees of tank. |

trying to win and sucking vs intentionally sucking.
Unfortunately, the team probably got rid of the 2 vets that they should have kept around to teach the next group instead of getting rid of the Sedin's. I love the Sedin's but they play oddly. Not someone you want teaching the next group. |

Might want to keep Goldobin and Virtanen separated.
They could make a formidable D-bag tag team. - Whiskey-Tango

Like any team has 14 million in cap space that they want to use on two 36 year olds. |

1-8 in Shootouts
Lost 9 games lead by 2 or more goals
Lost 10 games this year being ahead after the 2nd period
Lost 7 games with a 2 goal lead in the 3rd period.
Youth definitely knows how to win hockey games don't they. - manvanfan
Well that should shut up the tankers but i doubt it.
Not in their nature to cease the whining even after selling off. |

Remember at the start of the season when every single Canucks fan was slandering the guys who predicted a 65 point season?!!
Well, go look up our schedule. It's horrendous. We are going to end up with not that much more than 65. And, we aren't going to pass 65 until probably the last week of the season. - stringerbell
Such a jackass. Do you think if the team gave a rats ass about reaching 65 it would dress this current roster and ship out two vets.
I guess you are not smart enough to see when a team changes direction |
