this is what #Canucks  are up against these days. 10 prominent forwards:
Henrik 0 goals in 29
Granlund 0 goals in 13
Eriksson 1 goal in 19
Dowd 1 in 17
Baertschi 1 in 15
Gaunce 1 in 10
Boeser, Vanek, Gagner & Virtanen each 1 goal in 9

- LeftCoaster

Playing 4th line mins, those aren't terrible numbers.



The rest is pathetic.

.@rayferrarotsn: The difficult part for me - was (signing older players) Jim's idea or the idea of the owner. Because it was a bad one. What they're doing right now is what they should have been doing four years ago. #canucks

2 players I am hoping we go after come August 15th. Both can become free-agents.
Hickey looked good in the Spengler Cup and Sikura is a linemate of Gaudette.

Yes....it is now my opinion, after a few years of watching Benning operate, that a lot of his decisions have been driven by ownership, however, that doesn't let him 100% off the hook for some of the poor moves he's made.

Billionaires can get away with anything, look at Trump. They point the finger at others.

I am desperate to see some different talent added to this organization and the organization should be also.

I understand he owns the business but at some point you'd think he'd be smart enough to get out of his own way.....wouldn't you? What he's supposedly directed Benning to do, compete and rebuild, hasn't really worked.

It was a horrible plan, but the execution of it has been mediocre at best as well.

Yes they've rebuilt the prospect pool quite nicely, could be even better than it is, but that's water under the bridge. Not that I care but he's wasted money on last place teams and he's still charging the general public way too much money for lower bowl seats. Thus you see an empty lower bowl a lot.

I found lower bowl seats in Arizona for $69 dollars, poop team yes, so are the Canucks, same seats in Vancouver are still $150 dollars.

His ego won't let him, he fires entire staffs if they don't perform to his standards, even if those standards are impossible to achieve.
