Just buy new golf clubs...you'll feel better. I did lol

The new Titleist 3 woods look real good...

- LordHumungous

Around July I purchased a custom fit set of Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal Pro's with the KBS C-Taper lite REGULAR flex shafts in them and never looked back. They've been so great for my golf game.

Just purchased a new Maverick 3 Wood, which flies with a slight cut, absolutely love it!!

Quinn Hughes is going to actually win the Norris Trophy, first Canuck dman in their history, thank you Mr. Jim Benning and the six stupid GM's ahead of you who didn't pick him. Well maybe four, Dahlin and Svechnikov are both fantastic players in their own right.

Pettersson is going to feast on the Canadian Division and get consideration for the Hart Trophy, he's that important to the Vancouver Canucks. Again, thank you Mr. Jim Benning for this wonderful gift of a player!!

Brock Boeser is going to hit 30 goals playing once again with Bo Horvat, who's also going to hit career highs in total points, I'm gonna have to thank Corey Schneider for him....what a trade that turned out to be.

Demko will continue with his stellar playoff play, he's going to actually outperform Markstrom....it's Demko time!!

Can you believe that Rasmus Dahlin had almost the same amount of points in his first season than Hedman had in his first two combined?

82 games 44 points Dahlin first season.

153 games 46 points Hedman first two seasons.

There's a lot to be excited about with this young Canucks teams, just because I'm not a Jim Benning fan doesn't mean the team isn't young and exciting. They're in the hunt to win the Canadian Division with all the other teams. Their strength is that none of the other teams will take them serious and they'll squash the Flames and Leafs nuts like nobody's business

Habs sign Frolic

Predators signs Haula and Granlund.

- Reubenkincade


Yesterday @ 9:38 AM ET
Derrick Brassard 2 years 1.25M

Mikael Granlund 3 years 3.2M / 1 year 3.75 actual

Erik Huala 1 year 1.65M / 1 year 1.75


Riley Sheahan 1 years 950K

Devin Shore 1 year 875K

Can Van fit them all?

----------------
Pickings are getting slim, Jim better going deciding. At this point though, pretty sure someone would have to be in CDN already otherwise, they really wouldn't make it on time for training camp.

Was a little off on the cap hits.

At only 18 years of age, which a lot of people forget, Dahlin was an absolute beast of a dman on a bad Sabres team. He's a fantastic player for sure!!

Dahlin not getting much praise considering.

Hedman had 89 points after 250 games. People would be freaking out after 4 seasons there number 2 pick only scored 20 points a season.



Now he's a unanimous #1 pick in that draft. Tavares who

I can dig that. Internal drive of the young players in place seems to be a differentiator so far...hope that continues. I also like that the younger group seems to possess a diverse range of skills sets (I.e. players that can play different styles)

Just need another Xmas miracle to disappear Louie.

- manvanfan

His 5th season things started to click for him offensively, the rest is history, he's now one of the best in the game. Still fourth in terms of points from the 2009 NHL draft behind only Tavares, Duchene and O'Reilly.

Dahlin had 40 points in 59 games last season, the kid was absolutely worth the first overall pick and as much as I NOW (not during the draft) like Quinn Hughes, I'd probably still choose Dahlin over Quinn. Both great players though!!

I don't know about 30 goals in a shortened season but I think he will pace for that based on an 82 game season. I also think JV can pace for that if he plays the entire year with Miller and EP.

Eichel had the best draft season ever in college.

Yet they still can't win games.

Soderberg is a guy that could help a team if you get him cheap. Not Canucks

He would be a good pick up to play 3c and let Gaudette move to the wing where he belongs. As long as he accepts 1m or less on a 1 year deal.

I have no trust in AG . I think he is playing his last year here. If I am wrong then it is good for Canucks

I agree, you can always debate individual prospects but I like that the Canucks have accumulated a solid group of young players that possess different attributes/skills. It will allow them to play/win different ways in the playoffs.
- CoolerHeads


I like the collection of skillsets Benning has drafted and acquired through trades, I know Iā€™m in a minority, and it seems most of the hockey world predicts a step back based on the players no longer here.

But I like the teams chances head to head with most of the teams in the North division.

It could be a good idea to play him in the top 6 a fair bit then. Artificially inflate his numbers and trade him. he does have the skill to produce well enough in the top 6. Though JV would probably do better. Getting a good 3c(cheap) would be the best thing for us. Sutter can play 4RW during his last season here.

Yeah not a bad idea in theory.

I seen him online gaming yesterday morning and the day before but I never see him talking about training. I know he is quarantine now but even before very little hockey.

His 0 points in 10 playoff games and sitting for 7 of the 17 games . I wish him well
