Carol Schram: Was Trevor Linden backstabbed and forced out of the Vancouver Canucks? The latest story making the rounds after Trevor Linden's departure from the Vancouver Canucks suggests betrayal of Linden at the hands of Jim Benning and John Weisbrod.

What if the players JB picks don't work out?

What if an asteroid hits earth and kills us all? It's all just for the purposes of conversation. What if Pettersson turns into RNH? Then what? What if Demko turns out to be the second Markstrom? Then what? What if Hughes turns into Greg Hawgood? Then what?

It would be interesting watching how Aquilini deals with all that.

Thanks Carol.

We all expect full scouting reports on Hughes, Utunen and Dipietro from the games.

What if Van traded Tanev for 2- 1st round picks 3 years ago? Your hate is based on "if"

Thanks

I knew I was forgetting someone. See if he is good enough to make the final team.

Thx Carol the sky is still falling in Canucks nation

What if hot dogs were illegal ?

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

So is your smug cheerleading.

Yes we should. It’s ok to laugh at teams with no future. Despite your Benning dislike we have a future. He will be gone by the end of the season and a new GM will be brought in with a stacked prospect pool. Couple more years of pain and we will be in a good place

Thanks Carol

I don't put too much stock into East Coast reporting on the Canucks . Last week had Elliot Freidman stiring the pot with Deam Lombardi coming to Vancouver and bringing Voynov

I think any little jabs they can take they will so I don't really read their articles except the 31 on 31 and he is never right about any of his thoughts .

Yes, but who will be hiring that new GM?

I'm hopeful. Too bad it will take nearly 10 years at the end.

I think Zac Mac is ahead of Gadjovich also . I think Lind will be a third liner in two years . Jasek may have a very good year and come out of nowhere .

I said the other day most of the top 6 and top four will come from our first round picks . After that it is a crap shoot

It's that 3rd wheel thing. Duo's as Nighthawk said. You draft duo's and find a third wheel somewhere else.

Horvat Boeser
Pettersson (possible 1st round pick next season)

Then find the 3rd wheels for those two lines.

Hmmm good point. Aquilini May screw up the next hire. We should start a gofundme to collect money to build a billboard by Rogers arena to list acceptable candidates so he doesn’t (frank) up. Brisebois would be nice

Club President Jim Benning?

Has anyone considered the possibility that now that Benning has been promoted to president he may screw up and fire himself as GM?

Yes, it should have been quicker. They should have forced a few vets out for futures right away

I'm pretty sure he'll have a good answer for the asteroid.

Dahlen had some good comments the other day . He asked "do you not think it was a coincidence that I ws traded for and Pettersson drafted the same year?". He said the Sedins came up to me two years ago asking about EP . He believes this was well thought out by the Sedins and Canucks .

Then he probably wouldn't be female doging about Benning so much.
