I don't care if Canucks finish bottom 5 for the next few years. This doesn't mean I want a tank. I want them to win every game and willl continue to watch every game no matter how they do.

WD stinks but isn't the Canucks problem.

Our D has sucked since 2012 not just this year with the young guys. The style and the core needs to be changed , the sooner the better. Does it matter if we finish bottom 5 this year or in two years from now when the Sedins are gone?

We have OJ and Boeser in the system just like Oilers have Klefboom and Draisitl playing now . In five years they will all be representing their NHL clubs.

If Toronto and Edmonton move up to the next level that means they will be drafting 15 th or so while Canucks still are drafting top 10.

They went through it for a decade I guess now it is our turn. I would still rather watch Stecher over Tanev any day of the week (mistakes included)

I'm not even sure where you got all this from what I said.

I would love the canucks to win or at least be in every game. The D got old and stale, New players have now been inserted. They are all young, some more experience may be needed. Tanev can go during the season. Edler can go at the draft (where they know what they will get for him).

Van has some good prospects and will have some unexpected prospects become NHLers. They may pick top 10 this year and next year.

isn't this counter productive to the team moving ahead? They clearly need to be blown up. They have nothing in the system, no young players to be excited about, vets that you either can't trade (Sedins) or ones you can trade but are worthless (Miller).

It could be looked at as counter productive but I look at it as a consolation prize. I always want my team to win but if they are going to stink at least we get a good pick.

My feelings don't have an outcome on the actual game. It is like a little kid living in the slums hoping Santa brings him a Mercedes .

Just because I disagree with his fantasy assessment of our talent heavy team, and his WTF is he saying posts, doesn't mean I plan on banning him. I'll leave that to Dozzer,

I need to take a page out of your book and not respond,

Sure that's exactly what I said and do. Oh and Mar never posts out of the blue expletives. 😭🤒😱

So who's up for the rumble in the jungle tonight? Not the hyped game we know how that's going to end. But the China reaction to Trump Tawainese phone calls and tweeting?

Your up on Van prospects are you?
Tell me who else does Toronto now have in their system that is any good? I'm not talking just random names, talking legit nhl prospects.

very good. It was a response to my quote, my bad. At least we are on the same page pretty much.

Now can you take this energy and direct it at the Leaf posters.

You lost your Canuck follower privileges for the accuracy and balance of that post. Oh wait what I am saying it's not your fault you are special Leafs fan. It's okay little Smokey the sky isn't falling tonight.

Yegor Korshkov had been having a decent season as a rookie in the KHL... until breaking his leg badly yesterday

I love this guy

Most of those guys are from the 2015 draft alone.

I think you forgot Adam Gaudette. Who is tied for 11th in NCAA scoring. Let's not discount Virtanen after he scored last night

Is there a good way to break your leg

But you look at those Leaf rookies that are on the team currently, none of them are any good, none of them.

Most of those guys are from the 2015 draft alone.

Yeah I did like him at the draft.
