As an honest question

Is this the worst management group (not coach) in Vancouver Canucks history?

Dont give me burke and gillis garbage because the teams were good. Our prospects are ok but everything else is deadful. Im not sire I can think of a worse group

Its the worst pro scouting in Canucks history

Only team in the league team that ended up with six different over-25 forwards who scored fewer than 35 points last year while still being owed $3-million-plus per year over multiple future seasons.

Its truely amazing. I really truely believe they have a plan and then every snall bump they deviate. Its gross and sad. I know its a difficult job but just saying trust me its all going to be fine I got doesnt work. Even the fact he doesnt go down to watch the AHL team is madness. Get more office staff. Its incredible imo

Why don't they spend more on office staff, player development, scouting, analysis, etc etc...

Yes, they were even worse with Linden as Pres. at least now they are going in the same direction. This team will be good but it will take much longer than it would of taken if it had started in 2012, but all of this is on the owner. Benning wants another contract so he'll shoot the works and it looks like FA will let him.

I think they have a chance to not only make the playoffs, but win a round

The wife and I went and seen the movie Yesterday . If you like the music of the Beatles I suggest you give it a listen. They made some of the music 2019 like the song Help.

Good story for the older guys. One of the actors at the end that lived at the beach house had me saying holy sh1t.

Well, I can’t get confirmation from either team, but there is word tonight PIT/ARIZ are working on a Phil Kessel deal. Stay tuned, let’s see where it goes. Galchenyuk

Lord Humus was right in the post I saw in the last blog. Myers is not as good as many think. You can put together all the stats you want. It's the left handed version of Hutton. The further up the line up he plays. The worse he is. Stats and points may say otherwise but it's just not pretty.

I get to see watch a lot of Jet games because i'm in the region and they come on before Canuck games.

Myers is a 5/6 D and he needs to be played like one otherwise the results aren't going to be very good.

It is possible that the Jet's system isn't for him. They have a lot of offensive forwards that struggle defensively.

I'm just saying you are going to find yourself a very easy scape goat is he is playing 1st pairing minutes and the season goes south fast.

All good points and agreed.

I just don't think he fits here. Just a larger version of Edler/Hutton really.

If you are going all in on a top 4 D let it be Gardiner or Barrie.

Preferably Barrie.

I didnt think they did too bad. They get the much better player, PIT sheds salary and gets a prospect. Both teams get what they want. Keller - schmaltz - kessel will be a pretty good 1st line for arizona.

Why is Arizona purchasing a 31 year old?
