Agreed, I wouldn’t give him a big deal either buYeaht losing him will hurt them…so it comes down to how fast they can replace him (either the similar things he does or a new set of skills that will help the team get over the hump). Timing the window is tough so hopefully JB learns from his mistakes and does not blow the next two off seasons.
- CoolerHeads

Yeah they'll have to replace him, hard to replace everything he does with 1 player though. I agree about JB, which is the reason i'm not keen about Myers deal. He and Schmidt could very well be quite overpaid for what they provide during the tail end of their deals.

Specifically looking ahead 2 years that's 12M combined for what they provide. It's pretty rich.

That was polite, I was going to say moron.

Well, it is Prez… some things don’t need to be said.

Well what Bloated said I am on the opposite side . I as a fan wonder how some think that Canuck problems are unique. I see GMs who are viewed as top GMs buying out players and affecting cap 14 mil per season , or using draft pick to move bad contracts , bad drafting, moving top players out for nothing .

I seen people in here actually complain that Benning didn't trade Sutter after he came off Covid but don't say a word about losing Landeskog or Price for nothing.

We are on pace as a team should be IMO . I am fine with where the team is and where it will be.

Every fan base has unhappy followers like a Marwood, ASL, Bloated, Ruby, Golfing etc. who act out like they know better. Even Bolts until they won a Cup. All teams have issues until they win.

I look it at it this way. Why spend so much time and energy in frustration and misery. Better to center yourself. Take the good with the bad. There will be things you like or don't. It's all good, if you enjoy the moments you can, and move on from the disappointments.

Cheerleader is usually a paid position. Good for you for doing it for free!!

Everyone gets to read your predictions about how the team is going to do great every season, then usually by December you're finding excuses for why they aren't.

If you think you're a better fan because you're eternally optimistic, think again. Every fan on here has been down on the franchise at some point.

That was unnecessary . Everyone knows who sits on what side of the fence. I was chatting with Ruby , no need to make it an issue.

You and I don't agree on much but there's been times that you haven't been a big fan of the direction of the franchise. I'd never question your loyalty to the team however.

being glib doesn't make you accurate. Nice fantasy job about my position and posts. You're a great narrative twister! Must come from all the practice you said you do choking chickens.

- LeftCoaster

I don't hate them, just not that invested. It's entertainment after all so you watch, discuss, cheer if desired. I just don't understand this mentality where you need to be positive all the time. We've been criticizing management, coaching and players for decades.

Ask around, I'm pretty accurate.

Just keep thinking you're the best fan because you supported JV the longest!!

Of course he is


Price and Weber were both bending down to pick up the same quarter when they both tore ligaments in their knees that will keep both of them out until the first playoff game.

Even Makita is tired of the constant negativity. Don't believe it will change if Green and JB get fired. The new call is ownership must go. That's as likely as Lordy accepting human made climate change.

You don't have to be optimistic to be a fan. But unrelenting pessimism seems displaced of why you say you're a fan. At least be honest about it like Lefty.

Anyway, its all quite funny following the Canucks and the various views.

You're about as accurate as a broken clock. LOL, I love it how you keep making up things about me but don't deny my truth. Calling a spade a spade must hit home.

I'm not sure what your truth is, you haven't really spoken any yet.

I know your untruths are plenty.


You just singled out some posters because they aren't happy with the direction of the team all the time. Maybe I'm mistaken but I haven't seen one of them complain about JB's latest move.

I think it's a solid move, not spectacular. Am I supposed to drool over acquiring JD? We still have a glut of problematic contracts for the rest of the season. Am I supposed to get excited because they're about to expire? Sorry, i'll wait until they and potentially others are off the books.

I still don't have much faith in a playoff team this season, clearly neither does management as they've referred to it as a 2 year plan. You've had them in the playoffs for going on 6 years now and have openly gloated about it in October when they win 4 of their first 6 games.

How can they after letting teams LTIR out of cap recapture. They created this circumvention by enforcing a new flat cap without allowing compliance buyouts.

JB has a latest move?

I don’t get Canuck fans who look at teams like TO or San Jose and say “they are in a world of pain over the next X years” and yet are just fine with the direction of the Canucks. I have a tough time laughing or criticizing other teams when my own team is in such a mess.
- bloatedhefty

Nailed it yup. Vancouver has been what worst 3 teams overall last 7 years? Thank goodness for the Kraken and a fresh start. The nucks don't even have a player worth taking in expansion. They are so so poorly run its incredible
