No doubt! And at least the Nucks expectations were to be a bottom 5 team.

If JB gives them 6mil each a yr to play 10-12 min a night then he should be shot. The decision won’t be Van, it will be their decision.

If I were them I’d pull my Swedish balls out on the table and tell Benning/Linden that I demand 3 years 5M per with a full NMC.


Squeeze these suckers for every penny they’ve got.

League wide scoring is up so basically the team is doing the same as last year.


lol

- Nucker101

Is it actually up?

League avg for goals last season was 227. So far this year avg is 201. With 14 games to go.

Last season 11 teams had a 2.90 plus GF. This season 13 teams. With the hardest, tightest stretch of hockey left to go.

It's probably pretty close to last season.

Canucks are on pace for a -50 goal differential this year


Last year they were -61

So assuming the team doesn’t tank hard(which it looks like they are), I guess they improved from being really really terrible to just really terrible.

Yeah it’s crazy how so many thought he was a genius last year and now not so much

JB just looks like an idiot and dies some questionable moves but nothing that’s totally (frank)ing the Canucks

8 years 13.5 mil per with full NMC, then immediately retire so that the contract stays on the books for 8 years with that cap hit because it's a 35+ contract.

Have those moves really cost them anything but money ....they aren’t in cap hell or aren’t forced to trade a young player cuz of those signing ....you could argue Loui helped get the Canucks a better pick ...maybe he could have done a few things better but it could be worse ....it’s not like he traded the first and second picks overall for Loui Eriksson Chris Tanev and some scrubs

We arn't the oilers

Erikssons nmc forced us to expose Guance, gudbranson trade forced us to expose Sbisa, one of the top defenders and alternate captain of one of the top teams in the league. Thank Christ they took Sbisa and not Guance or we'd be a bottom barrel team not an almost bottom barrel team like we are.

I blame JB for costing us Sbisa, unforgivable.
