Next year is going to be more painful than this year, they'll probably finish last next year.

I agree.
at this point, i don't see any of the players we have in the pipeline providing any dramatic improvement.
Bottom 10 finish.

aren't we all Canucks?

Three UFA s to target this offseason

Matt Martin 4 th line LW
Demers RHD second pair
Backes second line centre. To match up against Kesler Carter , Spezza
- VANTEL

Yup, just what we need, another middle center..... He's gonna want 6-7 million per, so no thanks
Demers is gonna want 4.5+

I'd rather throw all that money at Stamkos, poop offer him the max for 1 year (14.8 million) resign him for 8 x 10

I could get on board with Demers.
It would require us moving Sbisa and/or Tanev though.

Lucic is 27...
- dbot

28 in a couple months... Not to mention he's a pos and I'd never want him on the Canucks.

Our new core is 19-26, we need to stay within unless it's for someone that totally makes sense.

He's too old for our movement. I'm not on board with signing older players (outside our new core) like Lucic or Backes. Makes no sense for us or them for that matter. In 3 years, look for a big ufa signing, but right now I don't see the point.
- Scooby_Doo

I think you can take one last run. After this year you have the twins for two more years. After that you will take a step back.

A top 6 pick up , a fourth line pick up , a high draft pick NHL ready, a D man trade and or pick up and your back in the mix

Well, that's a separate argument.
I'm just saying 27 is not old.

I still think Lucic makes sense given the right salary/term.

What happened to patience?

I don't think we're back in any mix with the above listed.
I think our team requires a whole lot more retooling.

So Lucic is a younger, cheaper Backes? so are you saying yes you to Lucic and no to Backes or just that we should go all in on Stamkos, offer him 14m x 1

No to both. Stamkos is signing in Toronto so it's a moot point.

How about a Mathews draft and a Stamkos sign

Sedin Sedin Hansen
Mathews Stamkos Baertschi
Sutter Horvat Virtanen
Dorsett GranLund Etem
Gaunce

McCann plus for Hamonic

Edler Hamonic
Tanev Hutton
Sbisa Pedan Tryamkin

Mix wings if on wrong side don't care that is a sick lineup

There's no more runs with the twins, that dream is dead. Unless there was no salary cap and they were able to sign every top end UFA.

Let's not start with these stupid trade, signings and lineups. Enough already. (frank).

I have patience. You can not dress 23 rookies.

You need some vets to surround and protect the kids .

I don't like a top pairing of Tanev /Edler so if you can replace one or both do it.

Backes is a better choice for top 6 than Eriksson Vrbata Lucic or Burrows.

We need a fourth line tough LW . We don't have one in the system.

This is a lucky year for us . Without the injuries we would be a bubble playoff team and will probably be back there next year.take advantage of this year. Make some smart moves in the summer and try to be in top 10

Get off the tank and I'll get off the crazy lineups. .....

Top 3 lines of
Sedin Sedin Suter
Baer horvat Lucic
Virtanen Stamkos Hansen

I understand people don't like Backes but he is a 6'3 20 goal RHC sh1t disturber. Exactly what you need in the Pacific division
- VANTEL

Adding a UFA of his quality can only help us while the kids grow.
Term is key n all what JB plans on us doing year to year during this transition.

Then trade them if you believe that
- VANTEL

They're the vets you need around, as you just stated above, they keep the team from becoming the Oilers.

The only run you're gonna see is with new blood years down the road though.

You got Ryan Suter playing rw on our first line and Stamkos getting paid $14m to centre our third line. Nice work pal, you're so good at this.

Canucks need better centers, elite centers, at least one, and they need defence, top pairing defence....they're a ways away from that!

Ben Kuzma @benkuzma · 50m .
Has played hurt a lot this season. May have aggravated groin. Assuming Biega back, so 27-55/2-44/29-88/?


stuffradio @stuffradio .
@benkuzma Tanev got injured last night?
- hillbillydeluxe

Christ!

Imagine that D lineup right now without Hamhuis.
Don't know if I should be happy or sad that he stuck around lol.
