for this team to be anything close to a contender will take minimum 5 years. Im aware of that. But I sure do like the guys we have in our system. Even Subban could be a pleasant surprise.

We also still have Rodin who's in Sweden and has apperantly played like an absolute stud this year. He'll get a long look come camp.

I dont think Jim Benning has been horrible. But I dont think he's been stellar by any means. Im torn on both our coach and gm

Benning seems decent at drafting. Doesn’t come across as a good gm otherwise imo.

If you guys tanked for a couple years, benning might be a good guy to keep around; and toss after that.

Doubt your owner has the patience for that. I expect to see some over-payments on mediocre free agents instead.

Are you willing to trade away a gopd young goalie for less than his value again? Leivo for Demko.

Knowing this team and their history, They are dying to trade a good goali

I started following the Canucks the day I was born. Had a jersey on me at the age of 1.

I venture into this thread from time to time because Im a big jays and Raps fan.

But I still dont know what you're trying to say with the 13 thing.

Whatsever, it dont matter.

Cool..

Most fans overrate their prospects but you seem to approach it with an even keel.. Do you think its time to move the Sedins and tank for a guy like Patrick?

Jonas Valanciunas is active and available. Will not start. Bismack Biyombo remains the starter for Game 4.

I'm trying to jump back on the bandwagon after being off the last 10 years or so.

I'm with you. No wagon jumper either. Just saying it'd be nice to see them keep doing what they are doing and put up a fight against a team that I've read is no match

My heart wants them to Retire canucks. They have meant so much to this city and have taken a beating in the process. Their humble, talented players who are obviously towards the end of their respective careers.

However for the good of the team. They could be moved for the better of the franchise. Just not sure what the Nucks could get in return. My head says one thing, My heart says the other.

Two of the most disrespected players in the NHL ever. I heard an interview with Pierre Lebrun saying he's is utterly disguested the way those guys get treated because they play hard and are two of the most fantastic people he ever met. anyways, I digress.

Homecourt seems to be all they got at this point. JV's back tonight, in a limited roll obviously. But Biyombo has been great as a replacement.

Raps need to stick to their solid D they had all year and I still give them a chance.

A slim one at that.
