Hmmm I recall with all the changes made you thought the team would be better...?

Oh well there will be more cap space when all these extra one way contracts get waived.
- Nuck4U

Our team is better with those signing but I am optimistic not an idiot.

Alexander Burmistrov C
900,000
Brendan Gaunce C
750,000
Anton Rodin RW
700,000
Michael Chaput C
687,500
Reid Boucher LW
687,500
Jayson Megna C
675,000
Alex Biega D
750,000
Patrick Wiercioch D
650,000

I have a feeling all these guys are going to hit the waiver wire.

According to linden and JB the above is referred to as "depth".

It's all just a joke until this team finds an identity and a superstar core player. Until then it's going to be "fringe on ice".

So many things wrong with this club right now. Where to begin

I am sticking to my guns. I am hoping for a last place finish. I want the high draft pick

Hopefully get a winger to play with the Sedins.

Wait until the injuries start. I'm still sticking with a top 5 pick post lottery.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that line of thinking. As long as the NHL continues to reward mismanagement, tanking is a legitimate strategy to winning a Stanley Cup.

The lottery doesn't reward mismanagement.

(frank) this is frustrating.

Yes it does. Percentages favour the loser.

Last year, year before? The odds seem to favor VAN moving back a spot or two.

Vancouver luck.

Still with Canucks losing a position or two we still ended up with decent players.

Same thing happened to COL.

I would laugh if a team like the Rangers or Toronto won the lottery next year.

That's when the hysteria begins.

Per Bob McKenzie:

Expect Horvat's deal to be north of 5 years (6 or 7 year deal) and north of 5 Million (but not quite 6 million).

He will do anything for the hits. The Sedins could potentially be playing their final season in the NHL, does he think they would say "we plan on tanking our last year". Botchford truly is a disgrace to hockey media

Without a doubt.

Polled a few NHL agents about Bo Horvat, most feel Horvat is worth 5.6 to 5.8 million on a 6 year deal. #Canucks

Like what do you guys expect the Sedins to say in a news conference???

"Well this year, we really wanna lose as much as possible. We're on our way out the door, so getting a high draft pick is the most important thing for us. We plan on playing horrible hockey every night, ummmm not getting pucks in deep. Hopefully not many shots on net and you know, good things won't happen."

plus with mono you cant exercise, so no skating, cardio or practice
- SMBDragon

he's going to be behind the 8-ball all year. This could be a write off year for him. typical canuck luck.
