So what you are saying is Green won't be able to play the style of game he wants until injuries or factors, like what prospects ready, occur?
- Nuck4U

No not really. He will deploy the players given as he starts the season with.
JB has assembled vets & the probable same returnees from last year.
Still in the midst of rebuild & the transition period it will take.
When injuries occur we then will see more of the future TG intends us to play like IMO. 2019 is when we can expect to see the real emergence of what is only beginning now. Infancy stage atm with a lot of patience needed.

The engagement is off...

Anaheim great

Canucks sucked

Pitts Great again

Sven and Granlund were given up on then improved here... probably have more value now since arriving... who knows?

The only way I want to see JVR here is if we get 2018 picks with him and at some point, try and get more picks by moving him...but I think TO might do better than Tanev with a package like that.... but Tanev fits their cap situation in that trade... and their Stanley cup window is closing so you never know.

That's funny, I though they made them out of the same stuff as Pelican throats...

Sven and Granlund are both B type players who came in with no expectations and have done well. Not great but well.

Players that have had successful years the year before, that come here , have not fared well. Different circumstances.

Benning should not be trading his best Dman for a player that will be leaving in 12 months.

Okay. So still not following you with when injuries occur then TG will show us. Why can't he do that before?

Is there any belief that's what he wants to do? Last time he commented on a trade it involved getting a D man.

So we trade for JVR and like many others that have tried on this team scores 12 goals and then we try to trade him off for a first and second

It is Eks rumor so there is zero chance it happens.


That is why I am adamant on telling people that think it will happen that they are dumb

Hey EK! can we get an emoji for "Please do not try to engage with me"?

How about one for "get the (frank) outta here Nuck4U"?

Still here ....you promised to self ban yourself ....are you a liar too

Where did I say we did? If I remember the last time we tried was Luongo . They have also tried I think to pass us off Lupus.

Leafs have dealt with other teams and the deals were horrible. You are assuming I meant us but we all know what happens when you assume .
- VANTEL

Why you guys want to trade with Leafs is honestly mind boggling. How often does that turn out well?
- VANTEL

Idiotic.

Three ways never work out . You will always pay in the end.
- VANTEL

Why? Cause you say so? I can't help that you have a difference of opinion but does mean your right.

Thanks, I do my best!!

If Benning is trading Tanev for one year service of JVR or Kane then he will be ran out of town. Wait until they are UFAs .

Give your head a shake guys. If you are trading Tanev think long term help , not provide Leafs cap relief.

Everyone is bracing for another dud of a season. Maybe there will be some battles at camp or surprises in season. But what can the future bring?

Future hopes through a Canucks lens could be....

EP > Hank
Dahlen > Danny
Bo > Kesler
Granlund = Naslund
Guadette > Sutter
MacEwen > Momesso
JV = Smyl
BB > Geoff Courtnall
Rodin = Gradin
Sven = Rota
Lind = Linden
Goldy = Mogilny
Palmu = Tanti
Gadjovich = Burtuzzi
Lockwood = Burrows
Molino = Hanson
Boucher = Russ Courtnall
Gaunce = Sandlack
Tree > Edler
OJ > Salo
Guddy = Jovanovski
Stecher = Hamuis
Hutton = Erhoff
Rathbone = Reinhardt
Chatfieled = Lumme
Brisboise = Aucoin
Gunnerson = Ohlund
Subban = Jeff Brown
Candella = Bieksa
Pedan = Babych
Demko > Luongo
Depietro = Schneider
Coach Green = Coach Quinn

Who would have a bigger impact on the Canucks this year Patrick Maroon Patrick Marleau or Anton Rodin?
- VANTEL

depends on rodins injury

depends on rodins injury
- SMBDragon

Let's say he's 100% ready and healthy....what can his impact be...?
