Note to self. Have a absolute millenial temper tantrum at the canucks summer summit Q&A and become a reliable source for canuck rumors

You’re gonna have to expand on this, it sounds great but how would this work?

Trading Tanev, for let’s say a 1st and a quality prospect? Seem reasonable? And i’m Talking about this week, not at the deadline.

This one change signals to the rest of the “core” that the team isn’t competitive anymore, and Edler, Sedins, Sutter, Erickson consider their options moving forward. Does Lui really want to be on this team as they hit rock bottom? Maybe he allows a trade to an eastern team, one he has history with. Not a huge return or anything, but out from under that contract (maybe take back something shorter but just as bad). Maybe Edler thinks “hmm, playoffs were fun, and I do like our road trips to Toronto, Tampa etc. Maybe the twins don’t consider a trade, but maybe knowing how bad the team will be they decide not to play another year here, go back to Sweden for their swan song.

Then next year the team can challenge Arizona and Buffalo for the legitimate worst record, with a huge infusion of talent in the prospect pipeline, and be ready to turn the corner in another year or two.

It’s all hypothetical, wishful thinking...

Or.... Lefty is Tanbir

Similar body types...

Whoo Whoo.... I just got set up with Ranger's tickets at the end of the month.

Wonder if anyone on the Avs challenged Edler to a fight after that...

Soft team, bunch of pussies! No soft teams can be successful. Well except talented ones.

i guess that's fine if you think he re-signs.

if he wants out, you probably get 3 good pieces this year.

next year's tdl return will probably be a 1st, conditional 2nd and a josh leivo type 'prospect'.
- Tumbleweed

Resigning is down the road yet.

I do agree on your take though 👍

Sounds like Edler really hurt MacKinnon, out 2 to 4 weeks.

1) Loui is a pipe dream, you’re giving up a solid prospect or high pick to unload that contract. No GM is going to give you a shorter cap dump(even for a crappier player) for a longer one unless the Canucks are retaining at least 1M per

2) So you’re trading Edler and Tanev? lol

3) Sedins would probably retire, agree with that.

4) What are the odds you of these events all unfolding? They can’t be much higher than the Canucks playoff odds.

So does tryamkin...can't wait for that kid to come back

A major addition if Tree returns

Roy was yelling from his couch.

someone retweeted it while I was reading through Twitter, I don't follow that Tanber guy. He's a clown. I just happen to see the retweet by someone I do follow.

Lefty. My fellow islander. That was a NY calibre post man. Dissapointed in you.

He has shown improvement, injuries have hurt his development.
- Bettmanhatesus

i'm not holding out hope.

I was listening to sports radio this morning about Bill Belichick and how he trades players before they become declining assets, that's one way the Patriots continually re-tool their team on the fly.

In hockey the MO is to overpay players for what they've done in the past, they were talking about Chicago's overpaid guys like Toews who's now 30 and scheduled to make 10.5 million a year until he's 36.

i'm not holding out hope.

I still believe in Patrick White

I’m saying what if Tanev was the thing that held it all together, and after moving him it all unraveled.

Big deal, trading your top 2 d men, full on tank for the remainder of the season - and next...

Carol Schram: Erik Gudbranson, Derrick Pouliot return; Vancouver Canucks host Blackhawks
Erik Gudbranson and Derrick Pouliot are in on the blue line while Alex Biega and Ben Hutton are out as the Vancouver Canucks look for a second-straight win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday at Rogers Arena.

Thanks Carol !!!!!!!!!!

Who are you and why do you matter?

What does that even mean?

The Punisher is one of 2 guys questioning the "banned one" over at a different site.

who cares about draft order at this point. you guys gotta on good one in EP.

based on liljjegren's progression so far with the marlies, it looks like the leafs gotta a good player there too.

he's our top prospect at a position that we are thin at prospects in. he's a non-starter in a trade for most players imo.
- Tumbleweed

I fully expect Liljgren to be in your top4, if players don't make it in the lineup and are sent to a developmental league they are busts around here

So you want to become the Oilers basically.

Where were you defending them back when we all used to laugh at them?

Michael Grabner has the best rookie season ever in Canucks farm system history. Jason King with the second best.

I'm sure he would concur, do you want me to follow him and ask him? Don't you Twitter man? What kinda loser doesnt Twitter bro?
- LeftCoaster

I try to avoid narcissistic platforms of shameless self-promotion.
I'm that kind of loser, bro.
