Well at least we're passionate fans and that's why we disagree to a big extent too. Would still love to see Tallon resign due to personal reasons and then be hired to be a senior advisor to Trevor to over see the trades and such before the final decisions are made. I just like what's he done as a GM with 2 teams now.

Rasmus Aspund a 5'11 C who had 4 goals and 8 assists last year in the SEL was picked up with Canucks second round pick. Somehow I think Barkov's job is safe.

Benning was offered to trade down and pick up a second. He said no thanks.

Not bad for a draft aged kid in the SEL

No sure who said it but someone on here said our de has the greatest potential ever for our team.

100 percent correct to m as well. Juolevi will be a puck moving pp qb who rarely makes mistakes. Gudbranson solid 3 4 guy with leadership skills reminds me of willie Mitchell. Tanev just all around solid. Tryamkin will fit anywhere in the bottom 4 easily. Hutton another puck mover who could be a real solid 3. And Edler should be traded at the deadline for a pick but is still a rock solid 2 or 3 dman. Of juolevi becomes an elite pp qb the support cast is there. So excited for this dcore

Now sign lucic and Erickson and we focus on forwards at next year's draft and we are starting to loo real darn good

Some of you guys actually sweating JBs fine?

Slow day huh? He gives you all something to talk about which we all complain that GMs don't do enough of, then do an about face when he gets fined.

It really is embarrassing being lumped into the Canuck fan base with some of you jackasses....

Vantel excluded of course

Yes I imagine it quite hard to make it in a top league of a country that has all its best players playing somewhere else.

Why does everyone have a hard on for Tallon all of a sudden. His team has one good year under his tenure. He hasn't even had any decent drafts other that picking in the top 3 consistently since 2010 and all of a sudden he is a genius. Bolland ringing any bells. Other than his top 3 picks has he found any spectacular gems in those drafts. My good lord. Hiring and firing coaches steady. Has he won anything there. He only made the playoffs 2 times. I could go on.

If he applied himself a little more he could have been right up there with the 31 St pick Russian and his 8 goals in 68 games

Whether or not it's Tallon, I do believe Trevor and Jim would benefit from a senior management type like Tallon who's been around the league and has the respect. I think it would be good for the organization

Because he knows the art of the deal, enter Mike Gillis.

It actually is. Research it if you must.. hard for draft aged kids to get lots of playing time or even play in the SEL.

We could all keep dreaming about what we like and I hope that Juolevi turns out to be Erik Karlsson 2.0 then that'll shut everybody up. The rest of the picks are simply projects.

Tallon was the only one in the end who would talk to MG. Oh wait scratch that. (enter Luongos agent.)

I just think he did a good job in Chi and Fla. He put together the cores on both and yes he had the Bollard contract but remember they needed some bad contracts to get to the cap floor so maybe he overpaid for him in Fla.

Do you know how long it would take to turn from Tallon Love to Tallon Hate in this city?

After one draft it would be the (frank)en guy got removed on his two previous jobs, why the fuk did we hire him?

Kind of like Lowe in EDM, less the arrogance.
