I bet Aquilini would pay for another GM if it meant playoff revenue.

There won’t be any this season, so his eye needs to be focused on next year 🤞 or likely the year after.

There are a couple other defensemen that are going to be nice players, but these 4 guys are my top guys I would want.

If he is hired there it'll be interesting to see what he does given the ownerships desire to continue to be competitive.

TSN hacking and slashing, Bell must be in financial distress. Don't they own the Blue Jays and Leafs?

don't worry, once he's fired there are going to be several posters who defended his every move but then say, "i knew he was just a transitional gm and his time was up."

7 seasons as a transition. lol. i'd love to hear what a regular tenure for a gm is if 7 years is a transition.

- RealityChecker


Longest tenured GM in Canuck history.... that's enough time to implement a plan(3-5years) and see the results (2-4years). He's failed.

MG was right, should have traded everyone except the twins.
Linden was right, don't sign Beatle, Roussel. Trade UFAs.

Time to move Benning out of the presidents role, put MG there and tell JB that any and all moves have to be signed off. Benning is like a well behaved toddler, he still needs someone to watch what he does and change his napie.

They've been saying that this years draft could be pushed until next year and they will hold two drafts. Every kid drafted this year will be a year further developed and you will have a better idea of what kind of player they will be. 2021(draft in 2022) will be a special year for the draft IMO. Most kids drafted in the 1st round will be able to move right in to the NHL.

Sportnet is owned by Bell Media though...I think?


Edit: nope...I'm wrong, Rogers Communications owns SN.

They need to get rid of the bad contracts, Sutter, Beagle, Roussel, Eriksson & Baertschi, two of those expiring this off-season, get some youth and speed on the team, basically start the process over again with someone that can actually build on the great youth they have.

The only way they can be successful with this group is if they outscore their defensive deficiencies AND get "all-world" goaltending OR play a Jacques Lemaire boring style trap game.

- Pacificgem

I think we will find a way to rid one of Roussell, Beagle, or Eriksson this off season. I think Eriksson buyout and trade one of the other two(don't think it will be expensive to dump either one). PodK will be the only new blood(maybe Lind/Rathbone) that makes the team next year as our draft pick this year will likely not be drafted until 2022 and will be a year further developed.
