Yes, but he is in the picture as well as depietro
- CanuckDon

They are, but that doesn't change the fact that poor goaltending makes us look further away from competing than I believe we are. If Demko or Dipietro step up than it further accelerates the rebuild.

No more bad contracts. I am sick of contracts that come with a TBD buy out date. We now have at least 4 (Beagle, Roussel, Eriksson, Gudbranson). Sutter is close to making it 5.

It's also getting to the time where we have to start considering Lu's contract and potential recapture penalties. If he's going to retire early than I hope it's after this season or next.

I'm pretty sure Lu will just go on LTIR like the rest of those pre-recapture contracts. Don't think he hates the Canucks that much to screw them over

The Canucks sound like a dumpster fire. We probably shouldn't be laughing at Ottawa & Montreal so much.
- Marwood

Hahaha, funny you say that Marwood. First thing I thought was..."What are the Nucks???...the west coast Habs????"......

That said. Nucks much better positioned than Sens or Habs as far as young talent. Just hope the front office isnt as bad as Bergevin or Sens ownership!!!

his shot is exciting, but that only last for a fraction of a second

Dude. Grow up

I have a feeling Ms Lefty has said something similar

Damn, beat me to it.

even quicker than lefty today

In all seriousness.

Tanev for Klefbom +

What else would you give up for Tanev. 4th? Rasanen?
- manvanfan

I think anyone who has watched over 40gms of a healthy Klefbom would agree that he is not for trade. He is part of the future. Tanev would look good in an Oiler jersey though...this is true.

We are going down the path most of us here predicted of a slow, painful rebuild.
We walked away from the Sedins, do not appear to be rushing the prospects and have a couple gems in Pettersson, Hughes along with a bunch of potential players in Demko, OJ, Lind, Woo, etc in the pipeline.

Now we're angry about woulda coulda shoulda spent the past few years rebuilding a different way?

About as constructive as expecting to and then getting mad that we didn't win the draft lottery

🤪 2 haven’t even played a game, 1 has been injured most of the time, sutters is not that bad with cap going up, Erickson sucks

really good. they will be in the playoffs for the next 10 years unlike the canucks and would have been there last year if they didnt have terrbile goaltending
- mauryballstein

IF

I like Benning’s hair. Solid look

that 4th and how many times has that happened?

how many times did they not deal a UFA for picks? Vanek, hamhuis

how many players with bad contracts have been dealt with assets to clear cap space?

you cant tell me all these bad decisions dont add up
- mauryballstein

Have a Snickers bar...

i dont get your point.. my point was more picks the more chance of getting quality players which in turn makes the team good
- mauryballstein

More quality not quantity not the other way around.

Simmons is horrible. Just makes stuff up

Anybody built like a fugly beach ball should not get the time of day writing hockey.

- dbot

To be fair, his moves were questioned by many at the time including Lefty. Just because he's still in charge doesn't mean he's done all that well. Bergevin is still in charge in Montreal.

Who are you? There have been at least 5 new posters this week and it’s freaking me out

For the record, I'm starting to like what the Canucks are building, I think the future, although maybe a few years out, is VERY bright.

- JLO961

He's definitely a good player. Thought process is that Nurse may have risen above him on the depth chart on the left side. With Sekera and his NMC and 3 more years.

Klefbom is the PP guy but that also could be easily taken over by Nurse or Bouchard in a year or two.

Larsson and Benning are the only listed RHD on the Oilers.

I think overall Tanev is a better player then Klefbom but as asked for a 4th. Not much better.

- VANTEL

Other teams fans are more optimistic about our future than our own fans. So strange lol

Steve Simmons is an absolute hack. Always looking for dirt. Invents stuff for hits. No one should give "writers" like that the time of day. Much less click on any of his garbage.
- Greyman

Soon as I seen it was Simmons I didn't go any further . Cox is another bumhole. They are like our Pratt and Botchford

What does that say about most of Van's fan base?

Usually you try and knock down another teams to make your teams better.
