The cup or nothing should apply to playoff contenders, not fringe wildcard teams.

We should be striving for thorough plans, building for the future, doing things not half ass.

We get it, you are a big baseball fan. Only 4 teams every year should make an attempt to win while the rest of the league continuously tries to lose.

I actually don't mind Garland, but as I said when acquiring him, and took flack from Donna and Nucker, he is a 3rd liner.
I wouldn't have given him 5 million, but in typical Jim Benning fashion, he got 2 million more than what he should be getting.

- Reubenkincade

He got a hefty bump indeed. I’m past what Benning did & concern myself with how to max out his value either here or in a trade. With the right roster he’s a top 6 RW also can play LW. Would produce more if on PP1.

They ain’t making the playoffs this year but they still have to ice a competitive team. He’s a young dman and a career plus player. His scouting report states “not going to put up big scoring numbers, but is solid in his own zone”.

Solid in own zone is something this team desperately needs.

I’ll reserve my opinion until I see him play a few games.

Well I get mixed messages. Anaheim who are right where we are are selling off everything and everyone here is drooling . It's fine if they don't ice a competitive team but we have to ice a competitive one? I think if you had a poll done in here at least 50% would say Canucks are not a competitive team.

I seen the roster last night it had Petan Chiasson Juulsen Hunt . Does that sound like a competitive roster? There are 18 games left . Keep the pick keep your cap room.

That is the problem when you walk in for a day and a half and think you know everything. Do you realize how much fucken b1tching I have read in here over the last 8 years about trading draft picks for bottom end players?

Trade Pouty as well. I have been pretty clear about my position on the way this team was built.
Benning did a terrible job, but I cut him slack for over 5 years, I can cut some slack to these guys who have been on the job for less than 5 months.
This team is a mess, no, it is a fucken mess and needs a major purge.

I would have gladly accepted the four first round picks from the Habs for an offer sheet but it didn't happen.

Anaheim is .200 points less than Van since Jan 1st. Numerous UFA players coming up.

Bit of a puck hog and struggles to finish. Also weak defensively
- Nucker101


2 or 3 weeks ago, he was the greatest 5v5 player ever, now he is a puck Hog and can't finish.
I would add a few other things but good to see you finally are learning about hockey.

No, I never did. I just enjoyed the winning. Canucks are trending upwards in the standings while Anaheim is in an absolute free fall.

Canucks didn't have a bunch of 30 year old free agents.

Not true. I was pretty optimistic in the summer when they moved Schmidt, and was okay with the OEL acquisition, although I hate giving up 1st round picks, but it all changed when they re-signed Green.
The stink of Benning has to be removed, all of it.
