He probably should be in Utica playing regularly and learning to be more consistent. Van's season is done. Why try and ruin him even more.

I have no problem with that

Jake is approaching a make or break year.

Much like I've said about Gudbrason, Virtanen is exactly what Ray Ferraro said he was two years ago, he's a Jannik Hansen type of player, he'll never be anything more.

He also said thats not a bad thing, Hansen was a useful player, you just don't select him 6th overall.

So could Pettersson and Gaudette.

In the NHL?
Are you president of the foresight club?

A feisty bunch with no quit, I agree.

Lol. I spit my drink out reading this and the original conment. Would do again 9/10

It was also Ray that said Gudbranson is barely an upgrade over Polak. Ray only likes flashy shiny types of players and admitted that at WJC.

Btw; welcome home Lefty.
Did you bring back any goats?

How about this , after 4 years Benning has brought in Boeser and Stecher long term and no one else.

We don't know who else can get them some points on PP, because it is always Sedin Sedin Edler out on the ice for at least 3/4 of the time and that trend will continue while they are here.
The great Buffalo Sabres really exposed our slow older players last game.
Can we just move to the 2019 -2020 season, another painful year will be avoided.😀
- Reubenkincade

Not only did the Buffalo Sabres expose the older players, so did the Oilers.

A Gillis pick.

Drafting is very hit/miss...Boston had THREE first round picks in 2015 and passed on Barzal, Connor, Boeser, Aho...and a few others. No one really cares right now as their team is winning but if they were bottom 5 like us look out...

Lot's of intangibles in drafting. It's a win some/lose some process.

Definitely an inexact science that's for sure.

Botchford was making a pretty big argument for Archibald joining the team. He's a tool most of the time but he could be on to something here. We need Archie's grit and toughness in the lineup.

Just helping you out. Wasn't sure if you could remember that far back😁

Canucks Potentially on the Move at the Trade Deadline
Player
2018-19 Cap Hit
Potential Return
Erik Gudbranson UFA 3rd-round pick + prospect
Thomas Vanek UFA 3rd-round pick + prospect
Michael Del Zotto $3 million 3rd-round pick
Ben Hutton $2.8 million 2nd-round pick + prospect
Chris Tanev $4.45 million 1st-round pick + blue-chip prospect

To sum it up instead of reading. Skipping the "prospect" for Guds and Vanek might net the team a 2nd instead. If this was Van's trade deadline. I would actually be extremely happy.

Some of us were saying it a lot longer than Botch

I am sure they get many ideas from our rants.

Archie should be here but this is still a team of pussies, you still need to get rid of the original stink before the locker room smells better
