What is it with Alberta and goalies?
- A_SteamingLombardi

I love watching those teams make the same goalie mistakes year after year

50+ years of watching poor management decisions and on-ice mediocrity has that affect on knowledgeable hockey minds.

Not such a big deal for the herd of sheep that follow JBs every move.

Your living in the past, time to move forward. I will take myers,hughes,Benn over schenn, Hutton and pouliot.

Does signing Ferland give Van a significant upgrade over an entire year of Levio or Virtanen at double the price?

lol. Damn I hate this management team. Just when I thought they were getting their poop together ... they don’t.

This franchise is a prime example of one step forward, two steps back.

I hate Jim Benning. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.

*yawn*

Great signing, great contract, eye on the future, solid by Benning and the Canucks

He's one of the ones that was "a canuck fan" that rioted in 2011.

Players will be moved down . We should be fine . They have 8.5 left in cap space right now.
- VANTEL

Also 1 over the roster limit without Boeser

Roussel probably on LTIR to start the year.
Who knows about Sven’s health.
There is 2 F’s & cap savings
- Nighthawk

Sven should be traded for picks simply to make space both roster wise and cap wise.
LE hopefully will be gone.
That will add a lot of space.

I think (barring a poor pre season showing) OJ should be brought up to be mentored

And this year they will be proud to remind everyone of their utter failure, every month they will select a different decade to remind you of the players and how great it was to win the Campbell Conference or the Smythe Division.

I know right, Green is a bad NHL coach....fact, I’m right.

Sure, but do they have time to put his face on a banner?

Again, who do you replace him with?

Maybe TG is cut from the same cloth as JB and is just ahead of his time and soon enough we will all catch up to what they are..... Generational.

- SMBDragon

I think by signing Benn and Fantenberg was an exclamtion point on OJ right now about not being ready yet.

"a collection of players without definition" great description of the Canucks.

Omg they're raving on tsn about newel brown

And they get paid to do it

Goes to show any idiot can get a job there

Again, who do you replace him with?
- SMBDragon

You don’t keep a lame coach around to just replace him with another Desjardins, have the paid professionals start a process to get the best available.

If you want to change for the sake of changing I’d have Crawford over green in a nanosecond.

But I don’t want Crawford, I want a proper process to find the best, Green has done nothing to develop players, SFA.

Myers 6'8
Benn 6'2

Tree next year too

TSN on the Canucks.

Ray: Not a playoff team just yet. I don't know where they are going to score. Defence better than yesterday. Can't see them catching up to the other teams, haven't done enough.

Guy next to him: It's about identity. TG great job of coaching, what type of team do we want to be. Collection of players without real definition.

Fat guy: EP is a superstar. Solid goaltending, get some goals, playoff spot.

Pierre: Fix the 22nd ranked power play in the league. Newell Brown one of the better PP coaches.

Ray: Not enough skill. Not enough creativity.

OJ will be ready to play top 4 by the time Tanev is gone
