BuckFoston@BuckFoston_According to John Shannon, Aquilini had a sit down with Ray Ferraro about 2.5 years ago to see what was wrong with the organization. A “25,000 ft view from the outside. #canucks

How did those 2.5 years turn out after the sit down with all knowing Ray?


If FA is asking the media how to fix things we are screwed. He may as well just join Hockey Buzz

Garland for Zacha and Mukhamadullin?


Two days ago you said you hated that combo today Zacha is playing second line

2.5 years ago they played their best hockey for 3 weeks, in a decade, so maybe it paid immediate dividends(for those 3 weeks)

Added a cap dump to it.

So has JB officially won the Juho Lammiko for OJ trade?

Lammy officially won the trade. OJ stinks and Benning is jobless

So adding a cap dump takes a borderline third liner ( according to you) and makes him a second liner

I had said if he hit waivers that Van should claim him, at the start of the season. JB traded for him for nothing. Been a good surprise the way he has come along.

Devils not really getting anything in return there. A young big bodied former 6OA who's on pace for ~20 goals this season plus a guy I have no idea who he is, for a 5/6/7 defenseman and a depth C whose not great and has a career high of 9 goals.

5th overall pick.

Markstrom 1st star of the week!

Thanks Benning!

The bolded part, I believe he (being big bodied former 6oa who was on pace for 20 goals) is playing in the KHL right now for a Van fan stand point.

Zacha shouldn't be getting a first in return. He's not worth that much right now. Half a PPG player who is a 10th worst plus minus forward in the league. He has only taken 194 face-off's. He's hardly a centre anymore.

Poolman has been steady for the most part. Just because his game isn't flashy doesn't mean he's garbage.

Richardinson isn't as bad as he has been in Van. He's signed to a reasonable contract if he can get back to what he was. So is Poolman 2.5 for 3 more years. If he can be a steady even 3rd pairing, if the cap allows it for that team. Much better to have him much up the line up then guys like Van has in Burroughs or Juulsen.

5th overall pick.

Florida hoping to strike Benning gold twice.

Button occasionally gets things right and I believe he is right on this one.
- Reubenkincade

They might win a round or two then done. Plus the Bettman factor vs CDN Teams. Gonna be tough for them to go deep.

Poolman has been fine as has D!ckinson. Richardinson does the little things like PK and 200' game that sometimes go missed. He's snake bitten on the scoresheet here so it reflects. Boudreau seems to like the kid so if he pots a few goals a few more will come. He's a good skater with good coverage and can play in the dirty areas.

I'd be more concerned with Pettersson's and Boesers' skating...seems like they are going backwards lol

He also sat down with Geoff Courtnall.

Just saying that apparently the owner doesn’t think the dude is as much of a spazz as you do.

Additionally, you certainly have a lot of things to say about a guy who you openly admit to not having heard a thing he’s said for several years.



I honestly don’t care who talks to who. I don’t think Ray is awesome, or a tool, he’s just a guy who says what he thinks, sometimes it hurts people’s feelings.

You're trolling. He's arguably the worst PKer on the team, not a single aspect of his game has been good since coming to Van.
