I haven't seen it either, but from a value standpoint, Id rather get something for him, than holds his rights while he plays in the KHL.

With Bennings (his birthday today) Job on the line , I am not sure how many tweeners the team will carry? Truthfully if they have any of those types of contracts on the team next year I think it will be a more proven Granlund.

The #Canucks basically had two definitively rebuild motivated trades in the last... a long time, and it's possible that all they'll have to show for it is Jack Rathbone and Linus Karlsson. Yikes.

in all honesty, old folks get more excited about chair yoga than young people do about Game of Thrones.

I still climb 30 foot ladders on telephone poles. I hope retirement homes and yoga chairs are still a few years away

i mean, realistically, he could have fired him yesterday and Rick is just reporting today? Either way, it will be interesting to see how Benning and Company approach Goldy and his new agent this summer, if at all.

I think on a scale of 1 to 10 Canucks interest level on Gold'y new contract is -2

He is

He's also not completely wrong but that just showed how bad of shape that the team was in when JB took over. As most of us know.

Van really had very little over value that other teams wanted.

Seems that Goldy wants to try and make a go of the NHL still. It's up to him whether or not he comes to camp and plays the way TG wants him too and is effective at it. I hope he does. I'm rooting for him

I thought Hansen was one of the few trades they didn't wait way to long on


When you have a rookie GM , rookie pres , a rookie coach , a meddling owner ,and a roster full of NTC/NMC things probably won't go well.

Perfect example of wasting/devaluing an asset by improper usage. He’s a creative finesse player. Expecting 5v5 production with incompatible linemates is almost as crazy as not having his skillset on PP1 to collab for dominant unstructured puck possession with guys like Petey & Hughes (the Canucks PP is completely structured - X’s & O’s by Newell Brown who thinks he can strategize better than the improvisational brilliance of young stars whose skillsets he’ll never be able to comprehend).

If you guys enjoyed the USA U18 PP we had the pieces to replicate it late in the season & the coaches didn’t see it.

Q Hughes - York role
Pettersson - Jack Hughes role
Boeser - Caufield role
Goldobin - Zegras role
Bo - Turcotte role

Imagine thinking Leivo & Edler should be out there in a stationary (frank)ing formation

Last time the Canucks had success, I joined here at the end of it and before that I really don't remember reading the province writers. So that's my bad.

It just seems that any praise is superseded by something another team is doing better.

If that’s the case then I could see your side of it.... I think the canucks are doing some good things but it takes time. If you get lucky and win the lotto then it speeds it up ...or get a guy like EP...all the negativity would come from wanting the rebuild to start sooner and to be pilling on the draft picks. When that doesn’t happen and other GMs are doing that the media will tend to sour and start the hate parade.

It’s funny all the talk about trading the twins much like all the iggy trade talk years earlier and what do the flames have to show for the deal ? That’s also on scouting but still lol

Well to be fair the leafs have been a pretty good team recently and the canucks have not ...there’s obviously overkill in TO but what do you want the van media to be saying about the canucks the last few years ?

Also ...what have the TO media been saying about the leafs after game 7 ? Probably not good

- Redmile247

It's not good and rightfully so. Babcock is overrated especially with that contract and expectations are high in TO as they should be. Plus the rifts between players and Babcock are obvious. read something yesterday that Babcock will be approached by ownership/mngt and told to change his ways. A team like TO should not be getting punted first round every year and people want answers.

It's going basically as I see a rebuild should go, granted JB does throw wrenches at it once in a while. Damn Derek Poopalot
