The Gudbranson trade demonstrated that. Miserably demonstrated that. His pro scouting has proven atrocious for the most part and is even more appalling when it comes to assessing D men. We'll see.

But yet Gudbranson has been fine on other clubs when surrounded with the right talent...go figure

I like the other side at Scotch Creek area, Also Bughouse Bay and really like Sicamous, guys liked getting ice cream at Licks and Splits

Gonna look around Scotch Creek & east of there on that side of lake as well.

Guddy didn't work here for many reasons. At least Pearson was brought in. Getting quality NHL D in a trade requires value assets the Canucks didn't have.

You can hate JB and he's likely gone end of this season anyway. That's fine. I am neutral about it. I just want the team to improve and hope while he's calling the shots the moves work out.

Because he only identifies these areas when he sees what someone else had success with. That’s the thing that needs fixing. He saw Beagle win a cup, wanted to surround the young players with quality veterans to shelter them, and brought back the worst D in the league. Why did he wait until this season to make a change there? Because St. Louis D were all big, now we signed Myers... coincidence?

Probably more so that less D were available last year & waited it out my guess.

The Canucks were in desperate need at almost every position. I thought he was implying the Jimbo was following trends in the NHL rather than just following his own plan which seems to differ from year to year, from we're still a playoff team, to we are staying competitive on the fly, to we are retooling as we develop, to the re-build is over and I'm trading 1st round picks to load up for a playoff run.

I'm going to have a hotdog with my new bff Pacificgem, he gets it.

Good points hope he changes your mind with the newer D corp assembled.

How could it not be Roadhouse.

Well he certainly wasn't here which makes Jimbo look pretty stupid. Can't assess the talent (or lack there of) on his own team and piss poor at assessing it on other teams.
Which one is it?

It's all good! The Canucks have matched their franchise record of consecutive years without the playoffs but by trading away more draft capital and putting us in a precarious cap situation moving forward we might just make it!

Nothing to complain about for sure with Skipper running the boat!

Gudbrandson has also come out and said Canucks run a very complicated D. It is unlike anything he has seen on other teams.

Hey man, I'm just a whiner who won't join the 'there's nothing wrong crowd'.
They've made 3 good draft picks and might have finally made a decent trade and the UFA signings aren't as bad as they have been in the past, so really I'm pretty excited about the accelerated changes. I also look forward to the new players exceeding their already very high expectations. The schedule helps.

This is not a double post, I'm still laughing from the 1st time reading that.
