Have you seen Hughes play? He spends more time behind the net than at the blue line. Not exactly the ideal spot to quarterback the PP

Well RD is speculating that we might offer 7*7 to myers. That would put us in cap hell
- CanuckDon



Hardly, 1 or 2 moves and it becomes moot again...

When EP and Hughes contracts come up....Pearson, Edler, Sutter, Baertschi and Markstrom all off the books....thats $20 million right there.

Not to mention Tanev and Schaller contract expiring, Spooner gone...

Only real concerns is Virtanen and Gaudette contracts are up next year. If they break out this season, then they might have a problem. Otherwise, its pack you poop boys, we've got Lind, Macewen, Pods, Juolevi taking your place....

I would sign gaudette asap. Give him 3 years at say 1.75 per try and get 4 at 2. Be pretty tough for a kid to say no to 8 mill. Of he busts oh well of he hits good for us

I am going out on a limb and say that Spooner gets a shot on the top line before Eriksson does. Spooner might make the team.

Youre seriously trying to cause me to lose my poop again aren't you?

Spooner is packing his poop......chompsey guarantee....

How JB stacks up in 14-17 draft for quality. OJ probably brings that down a bit.

That would be a disaster. I saw someone on twitter this morning saying if we buy out Spooner we have the space to sign Nyquist Myers and Gardiner

I don’t think many on here are really getting that making the playoffs this year is a directive coming from on high.

It’s the 50th anniversary and the entire management group will be iced if they don’t make the playoffs! How are people surprised at the direction of the team...at least we kept this years first

Eriksson was paid to score. The best way to do that is to put him on the top line. He hasn't fit Greens bill from the beginning. Why? Who knows? If he isn't traded he should get a look yes but I doubt Green wants anything to do with that. I think all sides are at a stalemate.

Do I want to trade him for Lucic. No.

He hasn't been a good fit for this team but he could still be productive on another team using him properly.

On Sven... He is one hit away from the end of his career. Breath too hard and he will have another concussion. Sad really he is way to young.

- thundachunk


We have different perceptions on LE. I watched him playing in the Worlds (obviously not Green coaching) and he was playing with good players (including EP). I thought he looked every bit as offensively inept there as he did for the ‘Nucks. I hope a change of scenery is all he needs (therefore some trade value), but i think it might be more than that.

I saw that graph the other day and wondered how Boston has quality that high with Zboril and Senyshyn among others

Yost just put an article up on TSN about how bad the Canucks have been at drifting the past 10 or so yeare (2007-2017). Not the prettiest picture

7x7? It should hava been 7x10!!!!!!!

I like the idea of signing Myers, but 5 years at 6.5m is what he is worth.

Weak effort I guess I’ll be the one to do it



“You wanna bring back this same crap defense???”

“You pay to play, no one wants to come here, Benning had no choice”

“Tired of this seeing this team get pushed around”

“If Myers sucks then how come other teams wanted him??”

“Look at his goals and points, he’s our best dman now”

He brings size, experience, toughness, skill and a shot from the point. You don’t think we need that?

I’d pay him 6MM for 4 years. He is getting 7*7 and that’s (frank)ed

The only solace is that we will likely have some compliance buyouts sooner rather than later. I would rather Myers now and wait a year for Barrie(if it is true he wants to come home) than trade for Barrie now. Keep Tanev for the year to be our cap saving for Barrie.

Edler/Myers
Hughes/Tanev
Benn/Stetcher

You can't argue that this is not a better top 6 than last year. The problem will be cap/term with Myers.

I'll be happy to defend that signing! Imagine all that tail he'd get atthe Roxy! He's a big man, so obviously big feet and you know what they say about that

7x7 is not a big deal....in 3 years $7 will be the same as 4.5 today.....immediately adds size, is a right-handed shot a huge target for Edler to drop pass to....
