That would be a problem...if this fan base was capable of all agreeing on one crappy course of action....but as we see most nights we can't even agree on Webster dictionary definitions of core and franchise player etc. Could poll 100 fans and get 100 completely different opinions.

We all agree that the Eriksson contract sucks

The owners seem to tie every decision on seat sales so i bet the season ticket renewal rate will decide Bennings fate. WD is gone if JB thinks his scalp buys him time. My question is if Linden will survive ? Especially if the brought in a replacement for JB who wanted no interference....

Most people are on board with a rebuild but you want it done smartly.

CBJ did it under Davidson , Leafs under Uncle Lu TB under Stevie Y.

We had a first year GM Coach and Pres . That is not a good combo and makes the learning curve huge.

EA Sports had the Canucks at 65 points and Linden was pissed, turns out they were only 4 points off

“Sometimes there’s a shock factor to it,” Canuck president Trevor Linden said hopefully. “You get more attention when you make predictions like that. I expect us to be better than last year.

“I expect us to be hard to play against and to compete every night. And at the end of the day, we’re going to be in the fight (for a playoff spot). We do expect to be better this year.”

We sure proved EA wrong huh? 😂😂

I'm pretty sure Nucker called Benning an idiot before anyone else did and that's why he was shamed out of here.

Yes, he deserved ridicule. But at least he has admitted where he was wrong...Granlund etc. I respect that

The fact you think we won't sniff the playoffs for 6 years is hilarious. Cheer up friend it's not that bad

nobody hates Edler like you do. But I think everyone wants him traded for futures

How do you guys think the broadcast rights are going to play out next year ? Corus owns CKNW so they wont be going back there . That is unless there is some secret deal in play... Going to be interesting to see which local station switches format .

too bad we're more likely to get our own Yak/RNH/Murray this year.

waiting for 2018?

exactly.

it took a planned 8 game losing streak to get here.

Not to the players. They don't fight if they're happy losing.

Obviously the tank overall wasn't on purpose. But Linden and Benning did a good job this year once they knew we we were out of it.

How did Hutton do? I was playing hockey and missed the game

Tough task....it's like trying to dig out a tick....the guy just wants to play get his money and bury his head in the sand. No drive no pride apparantly zero interest in winning a cup. He needs to be forced out, but I seriously doubt the Canucks management has the stones to do it unfortunatly

Still better than a Stefan or a Daige.

I'd put the odds of him being traded at 1%. It is what it is

We traded Burrows Hansen and shut down Grandlund and Eriksson. They could have got more points if they really wanted
