Other than LE the terms on all the contracts are either good or manageable. Allows a lot of flexibility once this season of the post Sedins gets rooted. The old UFA contracts expire & the newer ones are iffy but still we can live with them or possible TDL moves are potentially there.

Canuck TDL moves are a myth.

Wait until year 4 of the Beagle contract Botch will still be bringing up the Linden firing

guaranteed.

Hey have you heard that Jacobs convinced the league to sabotage the Canucks chances of winning the Cup back 2011?

What trash. Poor lindens feelings
- CanuckDon

you're approaching this from the wrong angle. it's not about linden.

frankie is melnyk-in-training.

start calling this guy out. the team desperately needs a new owner and we shouldn't wait until he goes full eugene.

remember that the sens weren't always bad. they had a promising team that got fcuked for one reason or another.

i don't care if you think the team is on the right trajectory or not; a meddlesome owner will screw the franchise. and the stories about his meddling have been there for years. it's beyond speculation at this point.

had to laugh at this, " told ownership the Canucks’ rebuild had to be slow and methodical."

what I wonder is when did Linden say this? when he was hired? after Willie D's first season as coach? 1 year ago? 2 months ago? after polling other gm's on how to rebuild a hockey club?

dang, Willes is getting to the bottom of it.

Yes, Benning is so trashy, I hope Linden will be ok. I'm just glad Linden was able to override Benning and pick Hughes instead of Dobson!

How do you propose we get rid of Aquilini? A fundraiser at the picnic?

nah, waving the pom poms at management's decisions and blaming everything on mg, tl, and the media seems to be working great.

Pfft, Stecher is going to become a 1b defense man, keep up vintsy.

But Trevor being fired.....that's news.

Oh did you know Canucks are PO bound. Yup read it here, oh and Beagle is either going to be the 20th best forward in the NHL or he will ruin the Canucks franchise for the next decade.

Yup all true,

I wouldnt go that far. He has spent to the cap from the moment he bought the team. He wants to win at whatver cost. If it was me I would have my hands in there too.

the blessings are, he's managed to get lucky with a couple good kids falling to him and he was smart enough to select them....Pettersson and Hughes.

i don't disagree that he has spent the money. that is irrelevant to his meddling.

i understand the mentality that it's his "toy" and he can do whatever he wants but that doesn't mean that i have to agree that it's in the team's best interests.

if you/he/any owner want to be hands on, it's simple: give yourself a hockey title (pres/gm/coach) and live with the decisions and man up to the criticism.

don't pick and choose when to be hands on. and don't circumvent the corporate structure. both of those are damaging to any organization in any industry.

Exactly. Who wouldn’t be involved with a $700 million company?
