Whenever the argument about tanking comes up, I just think about the year the Avs had.
That situation has become extremely toxic. Almost entirely because they suck. Players want to win, and at the very least, be able to compete every night. Even if we can't make it to 30 wins, a 4-3 loss is very different to a 7-1 blowout er'night.
If the Canucks had a season that bad it would be complete and utter turmoil, Bo and Brock would want out and then we'd be boned forever. - BobBot
Logic and reason? Keep posting, would be a nice change of pace
i mean the shuffling thing works in principle, though might be a bit much to manage, and you also have to consider having kids develop with some stability.
but in reality anything and everything will happen and we'll be forced into shuffling anyway - BobBot
Agree again if the past 2 years happpen again & it will IMO
I believe it was Lefty who agreed with me on the Draisaitl comment, not sure if any was a forward enough thinker to support me on the Utica shuffle idea. - Reubenkincade
Yeah offer sheet is all yours ....it's a big gamble cause price for acceptance would probably cost 4 1st rounders.
The Comet shuffle for next season I have been talking about since TDL. Glad you agree

Good points need to be competitive to develop and build.

Ya I think you road on my coat tails on that ...but sure you can take the credit .. because I really don't care. I come here to talk hockey and have an occasional rant, not looking for accolades, just like the fun.... and the hysteria.

Gagner put up 50... Boucher defintely won't and Rodin almost certainly wont (at least not this year)
I don't think we need him at the money/term he'll end up at though - BobBot
Yeah giving a pay day to Gagner to fix the PP won't turn out good. Plus those 50 points he got was on top rated CBJ PP and playing limited minutes. It wouldn't translate to low scoring group of Canucks. So Boucher and Rodin as unproven commodities could emulate effect without cost or risk.

agreed. stay away from ganger. he is what he is. I'd pay for Weal. a little more dollar for a 3 year deal. we can handle it.

check out the new guy! your shuffling talk is elite
Some perspective on the UFA vs prospect debate for 2017 opening roster.
October 2016 line up .............2017 options UFA or prospect
Sedins LE
Granlund Sutter Hansen...........Weal/Yak/? Or Goldy/BB
Sven BO JV
Burr Gaunce DD ...................whole sale change? Grigo/Boucher/Rodin/?
Edler Tanev
Hutton Guddy
Sbisa Stecher......................Kulikov/Nest/? Or OJ
The lines or pairings can be mixed up. It's just showing what the missing or must have replacements are and the options. I left JV in for 2017 cause he should be ready. Anyone can fill in ? options with a player they like added.
Left out the extras as that can be any of the signed players.

I am not even going to guess what the roster will look like. The best part of this will be training camp and who will come out on top to make the team.

Dont know why anyone even wants him here with his defensive issues.
Another thing Ive suggested for years now is he should convert to wing since he actually plays like a winger and he'll actually have a shot at nhl then - SMBDragon
It's his name...and I agree, love to try the kid on the wing. He has some skill but he is short and has a slight frame.
