Seems like they think ep, qh, Bo and Demko are the guys. I for one think they are right, but understand pessimistic views. Young players are a question mark but we do have quite a few that could exceed, the cap and building around them better is the challenge.

Canucks prospect pool is as thin as Lordy’s old underwear. Picking top 10 means players are promoted not developed in the system.

Got to get out to mow the lawn, before it gets way too hot out. Been above 30C for 5 days now.

Not sure what that equates to in your language(Americanese), but I don't really care either.

I call bullpoop on that, there's definitely a vocal minority of fans that'll complain about anyone and everything, but it's not the majority. The problem is that those vocal minority of fans get louder and louder as the years go by and we're stuck with failure every year and no real hope in sight.

It’s just hot in any language. How’s the salmon fishing been up there this year? Looks good all around the island.

I saw an interview with Jim R from a couple days ago this morning. He feels that the overall forwards have improved but he’s disappointed in the failure to improve the Defense. He said things didn’t go as planned so far but it’s hard to dance when you can’t find a partner and there’s not many teams that can take on cap so it makes it extremely challenging.


I think he’s onto something. Everyone thinks they’re at least a 5-7 million dollar player in a league where the average salary has to be 3.3ish to be cap compliant.

The D will come around. Just need that right hand shot. Moving Pearson also needs to be addressed. Bottom paring D needs work. With Demko and scoring we will be able to manouver around alot of the d-issues. It's injuries and depth could possibly kill us.

OMG you are such a meathead!! There’s 14 teams with better top nines than Vancouver. Just look at the top four in every division, including ours.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer!
Don’t worry the D will come around!
We can outscore our shortcomings!
Demko will make us top 2 in the Pacific!
Bruce! Need I say more!
Lazar is a good 4th line center, that will provide grit!!

Imo we need Pearson and Myers/poolman gone. And a right handed D along with a more proven D man than Myers... someone that can make smart defensive plays and that has a salary around 4ish.

Pfft, Canucks have four 40 goal guys, and another that should get 30, plus three more that should have 20+. Add in the bottom 6 and the D, they should score around 300 this year.
