You have no imagination.

Hughes + Suter to NJ for Nemec, Mercer, 2 1sts, +
Petey + Soucy to Buff for Cozens + Power
Nemec, Cozens, 2 1sts + for Bedard

Bedard, Chytil, Mercer up front; Power, Hronek, Pettersson, Willander on the back. Problems solved!

(This is all an unrealistic joke, btw)

- NewYorkNuck

You forgot to mention the 3rd Pettersson

Pretty sure they had 6 or 7 new players added during last seasons anomaly season.
- Reubenkincade

Yes I get that however the chemistry/synergy/goals etc just isn't there like last year. They weren't replaced with players of equal value and man is it showing now.

You honestly don't think he's trying?
- Pacificgem

At this point you have to ask yourself the question does he just want the fuck out of here and is playing for the trade? Something we may need to consider at this point the way things are heading.

Would y'all take a chance on Rantanen for Petterson? What if you got to negotiate with his agent ahead of time?
- BINGO!

Carolina has always been high on Petey could probably make that work.

Starting over would take a decade, and even then it's no guarantee of success. You could end up right back in the same place except you've wasted 10 years.

Selfishly, I'll be 69 years old, or dead, I'm not in favor!!

If you dummies, management included, would have listened to me several years ago, when I said this core isn't a winning group, we would be halfway through that 10 years.

I am tired of the coddling that this organization has given , # 40, starting with the Boeser taken off the Horvat line, then the trade for Miller because as Benning said at that time, #40 was asked what he thinks he could use on his line. Then the most recent signing of another inconsistent scorer in DeBrusk, all so this kid can have someone to play with, plus all the moves in between.
Ffs, enough is enough with this guy.

Go Columbus Go

Go Flames Go.

I don't disagree with you, to an extent, but those 2 examples, Washington and Detroit, kept drafting to add on to those players, Canucks continue to give out high draft choices, because they got false hope from the play-in thingy and last seasons anomaly.
This team has nothing in the cupboards, but we keep hearing from this management that signing euro, college and Chl free agents is the way to fill in prospect pool.
Fire the bunch

- Reubenkincade

Thing is the core was fine as we saw last year properly coached and rounded out with complementary players. After 4-5 seasons of development with this group the mix of players added/subtracted from this off season is just WAY off that's pretty apparent. I mean dude we still almost beat the Oilers second round last season and Pettersson was still AWOL lol. It was all there to be rounded out Allvin And JR just got sidetracked and made some very poor choices in the past year. And we are seeing the results.

Making room for Pettersson?


UPDATE: The #RedWings have traded Ville Husso to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for future considerations.

This is sounding like none of the responsibility falls on Petey to perform up to expectations. Which is pretty much the only thing that gets this mess resolved.
- Load Management

How many times does RT have to say move his feet? I’ve said the same thing for over a year. Lefty & his excuses never mention it now it’s they ruined him. Insufferable & deluded

Honestly, I don't know why he'd want to stay there. They basically forced him to sign his deal by publicly shaming him and threatening him with a trade. When he wanted to be a Canuck. All the while there were clearly dressing room issues he was dealing with, probably why he was so hesitant to re-sign. They lied about his knee and his wrist issues, that I get because it decreases his trade value if they were in fact thinking of dealing him.

Anyway, they overpaid the kid and they've basically killed his game, it's just a mess on so many levels. Which is not out of the norm for the Vancouver Canucks organization, it's been happening for most of their 50 something years.

- Pacificgem

I’m pretty much done with this team, I’ve been a fan since day 1 and I’ve never felt this way.

Probably Lucas Raymond. He’s a Swede.

It's best that he gets to a new situation. I hope they give him away for nothing and then he flourishes. We can do Cam Neely all over again.

That’s so Canuck.
