We tried Torts and it was a disaster...tough to say if another hard-ass voice is what this team needs. I say work on the roster first and go from there...

Was it ? we did get a high draft pick . Another year of that and The twins Edler and Hansen would all be begging for a trade

Burrows was still bad this year too
- VANTEL

14 goals bad & still counting lol

the female doging over the Sedins is just hilarious.

This is a bad team, the twins are being exposed for their age because up until recently they have been the target of the oppositions best players. Horvat has gone now 14 games without a goal, why? Because teams have shifted their attention to him. There is very little depth on this team that good teams have to worry about.

If Daniel was shooting his career average 11%, he would be sitting on 23 goals, best on the team. He hasnt had a shooting % this bad since the seasons following the Keith elbow.

Yes the Sedins are in the decline, but this is overly dramatic that we should buy out one, trade one, expose to Vegas, or whatever. The team has literally zero depth to force any major shakeups. Megna was playing top 6 for lack of any better options, not because anyone thinks he is good (thus his $675k payday), thats the kind of poopty depth the team has been dealing with

I totally agree with you buyout Daniel

Dysfunctional...

Both are a bad idea at this point. Hitch couldn't get much out of deep blues club what does anyone think he could do here with this lineup?

Green has said he won't be an assistant and HC here is a stretch for him IMO...but you never know. I feel Greens fate here is latched to JV. If JV is actually ready next season...Green could be here.
- LordHumungous

I think Green's fate will be slightly determined by how the league views Bednar in Colorado. That guy was highly touted and an AHL & ECHL champion and struggled in his first NHL season. I imagine if the reviews are negative, Willie stays unless they can find a veteran coach they really like to come in

You think 14 goals for a second line forward is good ?

My biggest fear with the Sedin's being mentors is what do they say to the kids? Joe LaBate-Chaput-Dorsett gets into a fight and they tell him"Oh you mustn't do that" or Tryamkin gets a roughing penalty for retaliation, he gets told "you must learn to take it".
No freaking thanks, enough is enough. I will take the Edmonton model for rebuilding ( 10 years) if we could just get rid of our pansies.

Not exactly but that gets him on our Sedin 1st line still 😂😂

No but 14 goals for a guy who was expected to be the 12th/13th forward this year is pretty damn good.

- VANTEL

I hear you I'm just not sure the environment exists anymore for that kind of coaching style. I could be wrong and with the Sedins/Edler gone maybe a strong voice is what's needed. Tough to say at this point.

Thanks, and I agree.

I just didn't want to sound negative.

He should have been gone last year 4.5 cap space for 14 goals.

Like I have said Burr has been one of my favorite all time Canucks but it is about the name on the front of the sweater that matters.

We hang onto things way to long here

not good considering what his cap hit is though.

Granlund pots you 20 and hes only 900k

understatement.

We cry and stomp our feet and throw temper tantrums over personality attachments rather than skill.

That coaching style is ancient but it would break up the country club.

Do you think if Torts came back the next year the twins and Edler would still be a Canuck?
