nuts.

That was Canucks biggest problem . They never planned for life after the Sedins . In fact they built around them right until the end. Jim had 4 years to try to find their replacement.

He is finally learning. He needs to fix the hole at center the RHD and the LHF
- VANTEL

What has he done that makes you think he is learning?

I'm not trying to be obtuse and genuinely curious in what you think has changed as I know you're not pumping Benning's tires these days.

Looks like I came in right at the right time. What's wrong with Patrick? He's not flashy but he's better than Horvat, who you guys probably love.
- DraftandDestroy

True.... and Patrick also should have been a great pick at 10ov.

Did Garth have to play out the Sedins contracts in those 5 years? It would have been easier if they were two old useless players that could be buried as long term injury or something like a buyout etc....

I said when all this crying started 4-5 years ago it would take longer here because of circumstances. The number I threw around was actually 8 years before this team is relevant in the playoffs. I stand by my timeline. No, I'm not happy about it but I faced it a long time ago and it wasn't Benning mess at the time. I also said the people who couldn't handle a rebuild here would make it painful for everyone else. I stand by that as well.


Vantel predicted that Gillis extending the Sedins would do this and was against it. I know where you stood... against him. Now here we are and funny who's to blame... Benning.
- boonerbuck

Well a pompompous hypocrite ignores those points. It wieners his little bubble. The draftist in him luvs no 1st pick. Not watching nor caring about the Comets but heh we have good prospects(picks).

Summary: one track broken record no matter how he words it its against Benning directly or indirectly. My patience is pom pom waiving. His posts are gospel. I say his head is up somewhere not in the sand.

Nice lists 👍👍
Still stand by my assertions they are unimpressive.

Ya I guess his public speaking has improved....is that too personal?

I sense ANOTHER bottom five finish. Which I'm fine with btw, then we hopefully see some growth in 2019/20.

2015/16 - 3rd last
2016/17 - 2nd last
2017/18 - 6th last
2018/19 - guessing 3rd last?

No, you phrased it as a positive, that's allowed.

Yeah, one more tank is tolerable. It’s going to get really embarrassing after that though

The should move out of the bottom 6 by 19/20

This is the fans wanting Callahan not the Canucks

Everyone's trade proposal says Callahan to the Canucks

We can always rock up and watch the Flyers be successful

I say in Pettersson's 3rd season they make the playoffs....2020/21.

His GM skills have dropped seeing he is spending so much time at Toast Masters learning how to speak instead of being at the rink

He stopped trading picks
- CanuckDon

That is in fact another reason

His GM skills have dropped seeing he is spending so much time at Toast Masters learning how to speak instead of being at the rink

The only way to improve his public speaking is keep him away from a microphone

The anonymous donation paying for his ToastMasters is to blame.

His drafting has improved? I can probably get behind that but as much as I disagreed with the Virtanen pick, his draft that year did produce a bunch of NHLers..... unfortunately just not for the canucks.

You will be tits up by the time that happens

- CanuckDon

Not true, he traded a fourth rounder and only made six picks this year. In five drafts he's traded away a pick in every one of them.

I meant successful as in entertaining to watch at least

Virtanen OJ were 5 and 3 years ago . I said he is catching on meaning recently last year this year
