Must be draft week as the JB bashing is out in full effect. As for the expansion draft it looks good that the majority of Canuck talent is exempt. That's what you want for a rebuilding team. There are really only 6 vets with big contracts on entire team. Two are retiring and 2 more are getting traded soon. The other 2 will remain for mentoring until traded. That doesn't look like a team spiraling down to know where. Patience people the new season hasn't begun even to cast sky falling outlooks. Things can change quick once the new crop of players fall into place.

It will all be up to the new core to take the torch & run with it.
Bo & Boeser r key & IMO will take charge but who else will emerge?

We can bash him anyday, it's pretty easy

Pretty much. Early favorite is Dahlen. Seems like him and Stecher have that do what it takes machine running in them. Anyway, that's the objectivity you stated, while some some may prefer to be blind to it with the gloom and doom frothing.

BagofCrap u have no skill in articulating nor capable of engaging in a conversation. Its no wonder u resort to immature garbage as your go to.

Its a lot to expect very young men to be leaders but Bo has shown what its all about & others simply take longer & some never get it. Having character in the dressing room is essential & that burden falls upon the Sedins & EG & DD IMO. Others seem to be the quiet types & lead by example which is all fine. TG will make a major change in how we will be accountable better than WD did.

in-between trying to goad me into an argument, maybe put together a proper sentence. Then I can take your ideas on articulation seriously.

Until then, refer to rick.

tryamkin didn't move to Russia...... Virtanen ate him.

edit= I wonder when the photo was taken, and if, after playing another year, if he's lost a lot of that?

What the Nuck Stick your head out of the past son. Get with the times...they are a changing.

Not sure why some are so upset with JB's tenure thus far. With the talent he has acquired I think he has done a decent job. You can question some of his trades but at the time they seemed like good deals. I still believe management interfered at the trade deadline a few years back but this year I didn't hear too many complaints. Unfortunately 2015 set us back.

Drafts has been pretty good. If you can get 2 to 3 out of 7 per year that have potential to make the nhl I would say that is a success. 2014: Virtanen ? Demko and Tryamkin. 2015: Boeser, Brisebois, Gaudette not mention Zhukenov and Jasek. 2016: Juolevi and Lockwood.

If anything negative it's been the signings JB has made. Sbisa's, Dorsett and Sutter that come to mind.

I'm ok with not moving Tanev. I can see why management would be hesitant to move him even though his value is pretty high. There's no one to fill the void at this time.

I don't think there is a need to make bold moves but make smart ones...build in the draft...sign decent ufa's that might get you return at the tdl. Build your prospect pool then go from there. Try to picture our roster 3 years down the road...it's looking pretty good. Have faith Canucks fans, even though tough times may still be ahead...me thinks rock bottom has passed.

JB hasn't been all that bad thus far. Every GM makes Gaffes can't get around it. Just some around here like it when their panties are in a bunch.

Someone I know has seen him at the bar quite a few times. Apparently he is spending his summer trying to get laid, and telling people he is a lock to make the team this year. Couldn't quite tell of he was fit or not.

I heard a rumor that Green is a caretaker coach as the Sedins will re-sign as player co-coaches and Messier will be brought in to be Pres/GM

So he is in the bar looking to get laid.
A: testosterone lol

He openly blabs to anyone he is a lock.
A: confidence not a guarantee from anyone eg JB

Fit or not he won't be on the roster unless its earned IMO.
Be shocked if he were not in shape & throws away his career.
He cannot be that dumb or could he be?

This someone takes no pics or take it as hearsay?

lol…no doubt. JB has only been here three years and he's still cleaning up Gillis' contracts. Not sure what some expect but miracles don't happen in three seasons from under 9-10 NTC's.

That is very true👍

Decade or many decades like the Oilers & Leafs & unable UFA's is not our problem.

lol that would be hilarious if the Sedins won a cup here as coaches and not as players…who really gives a poop about Messier...

Sedins and Edler...that's it lol. And he's gone on record multiple times saying that he likes Edler and doesn't want to trade him. And there's talk of the Sedins even being brought back after their deals are done sooooo.

Also, this will be his 4th draft and off-season here so at some point the "he needs more time" excuse will start to look really stupid. Look at the roster next year, 90% of the team will be Benning contracts and the entire prospect pool are all players he drafted. This is his team.
