Their pay doesn't reflect their play.

Bae Bo Boe
Sedin Sedin Vanek
Eriksson Gagner Virtanen
Burmistrov Sutter Granlund

Benning is the worst cap manager in hockey

Burrows was slow.

If they send Boeser and Virtanen down I hope they fall on their face this year so the Aquilini's fire Benning, at least they'll get the first overall pick.

I said it last week I don't think Benning will get a new contract

Aquilini would never support a tank. That money hungry bumhole wants ticket sales, despite icing a poopty roster for the last 4 years and attendance records plummeting.

Twins Sutter Eriksson Vanek Gagner That is a lot of insulating . Not only that but it sure seems They are the ones needing the insulating.

The one thing I agree with you here on is that the vets on the team are all soft/skilled guys who need easy minutes at 5v5 + PP time to be effective. As much as Hansen/Burrows/Higgins etc got stale to watch offensively, they didn't need PP time or to play in an offensive role to be useful for the coach. They were all bottom 6 guys who PK'd and could actually back check.

Eriksson and even my boy Sutter play a solid 2 way game and can PK, but Henrik, Daniel, Vanek and Gagner all need easy 5v5 mins + PP time to be useful.

It's a tough spot, because you have to balance out having enough offensive opportunities available for the young guys if they do earn a spot in the pre-season and continue to thrive during the regular season. But ar the same time, you do want some vets who can actually play in the offensive zone as well to help out the young guys and take some pressure off of them to score.

I'd say if you had one less soft/skilled vet and replaced him with a vet who can handle tough minutes, the balance would be better. Like a Hansen type over Vanek. That way you have PP time freed up for another young guy + you can create a vet checking line to play against top lines with Eriksson - Sutter - (2-way vet).

But the current situation is still better than having the crap depth they had the year McCann/Virtanen both made the team.

I think it really depends on where they land. I think he gets extended if they get a top 2 pick. I think he doesn't get extended if he misses the playoffs but isn't in the lottery for top pick. I know that doesn't make sense, but I feel management will give him one more year after the Sedin's retire to see what he can do. Fans won't be calling for his head knowing we get either Dahlin or Svechnikov (sp?). Pettersson will probably be ready, and possibly Dahlen, so there is too much excitement with roster spots opening (and hopefully the twins retiring and those spots being up for grabs)

He must be one stupid ass billionaire then. No one's lining up to see Loui Eriksson and Tomas Vanek in 2017.

In the words of super prospect Mccann, it is what it is

He was always slow.

Why would putting a fast player with the Sedins help them? They'd be crossing centre when said player is crossing the blue line.

name one player outside Bo/Boeser that fans come to the rink to see specifically on the Canucks...

I am not emotionally ready to talk about him

Boeser isn't going anywhere, I don't care about Virtanen. I want a stacked Comets team
