You clowns seriously don’t get it. It isn’t the stars that are the problem with the job Benning has done, it’s literally everything else. Do you honestly think that anyone who thinks Benning has done a poop job is sad that Leivo will walk as a UFA? You and your flunkeys make this place a hilarious space to lurk.

Don't you love it when clowns with no experience think they know how to run a billion dollar business

The NHL just pulled 5 million dollars off the table for the NHL. They announced in Feb that the cap was going up to 84.5 mil instead of 81.5 . They were also going to increase it more so players would save on escrow.

The world changed in March not only in pro sports but for everyone on the planet . I am pretty sure it is Bennings fault.

i think i know why the canucks are in the cap situation they are; you are doing the math!

anyway, that's not how escrow works. had they increased the cap a lot, escrow would have probably gone up as well.

remember when we used to say that it'll be nice if/when the canucks can take advantage of some cap strapped team? now, we're resigned to being a cap strapped team and making deals to keep our players.

i ask again, why has a bottom 10 team for the last half decade been so tight to the cap?

isn't that a response you can write for everything you write as well? not picking on you specifically but any opinion written on this site can be responded with a "what would you know? you just _____ (fill in the blank; connect modems to tvs for you)."

There not that's the point, clown.
Other GM's have made bad signings and other teams are against the cap. The Canucks are not the only poorly managed team.

The difference is I am not trying to tell Canucks I can run a billion dollar company better than they can so there is a big difference. Some of these clowns here had their company go tits up because of the virus and they are complaining that Benning can't do a simple cap. Pot/ Kettle.

The Canucks will figure it out same as every other team. Stay calm and breathe

don't mock the logic bro, it's airtight. the legal doctrine of "but what about him?"

yeah, but you connect modems to tvs and presume to tell gms which players to sign, trade and play?

you think it's an accomplishment to run 2km but criticise players for being soft, lazy or can't play.

my point is: this is an opinion site. if you're going to say someone isn't entitled to an opinion, i ask, why do you think your opinion counts? aren't you as much of a "clown" as the rest of us who think their opinion is right?

Miles not KMs . Retired not hooking up modems.


Your buddy whose small business of a few people went Bankrupt so sorry if I don't listen to him on how to run a billion dollar hockey team.

I also suggest when he picks fights with seniors he starts with the ones in ICU and not the ones that can run circles around him.

lol at the miles not kms part.

but the point stands: why is it not okay to criticise a gm because we don't have the requisite experience in the industry but it's okay to agree with him? if you don't have the knowledge to know if he's doing anything wrong, that means you don't have the knowledge or experience to know if he's acting correctly.

F*CK YOU!!!
You senile old d*ck. You think you are so much smarter than everyone because you are the fan of 4 teams. You make outlandish (that means fullof Sh*t) statements and can't back them up. There was a forum created mocking you and your advanced level of retardation. You are a f*cking loser.

fair enough but there's a large dose of irony when you're calling others posters clowns with no knowledge or experience in the industry.

Vintsy started the clown calling I carried it on? BTW can these clowns not defend themselves? I haven't said a word about you so I am not sure why there is a need to get involved? They are big boys they should know how to stick up for themselves.

Everything is all good, Canucks didn't make this list

Again pick fights with the ones that can't run circles around you.


The funny thing is 9 of 10 people here don't believe in God so if I ever were to make fun of the cripple or stupid there would be no eternal damnation or bad karma , it would be just a few random faceless people that I don't like mad at me even more than they were yesterday. I can live with that.

Diaper changed , thanks.

this is going off on a tangent but.....

i just respond to posts that interest me or spark a response. i really don't intend to defend anyone. i just like expressing my thoughts. no one wants or needs to hear them but i just want to get them out there. there is no "i like this guy or i don't like that guy."

i'm just adding to the conversation. that's why i come to this site. it's an ongoing conversation that you can jump in and out of depending on your interest.

so i'll just say: there is no gang mentality. or protecting guys. some people share the same opinions on certain topics but that's it. a group of people. some people share some opinions and some don't. over time and over several topics, it's natural to see some anonymous people think similarly.

and there's people like me and you who just need to spout off.

Okay maybe not.

Tryamkin deal expected in the near future … Canucks won’t have a lot of cap space to work with
TSN Radio Vancouver: Nikita Tryamkin‘s agent Todd Diamond said that things are still quiet on a contract with the Vancouver Canucks, but that a deal in the near future is expected.

TSN Radio Vancouver: Diamond said that a trade from the Canucks was never discussed. The Canucks like the physical gifts that Tryamkin brings and expects a contract to get done.

Patrick Johnston of the Vancouver Sun: Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes $1.7 million in bonuses will be applied the Canucks salary cap next season. The flat salary cap will make it trickier for GM Jim Benning to re-sign some of their restricted and unrestricted free agents.

The Canucks will have just over $15 million in cap space heading into the offseason with 16 players under contract.

Sending Sven Baertschi and potentially Loui Eriksson to the AHL would free up some space.

Maybe they can get Jacob Markstrom signed around $5 million, but that still wouldn’t leave a lot of room to re-sign both Tyler Toffoli and Chris Tanev.

They also have to re-sign RFAs Jake Virtanen, Tyler Motte, Troy Stecher, Adam Gaudette and Zack MacEwen.

This cap stuff is all so confusing.😁

F*CK YOU OLD MAN!!!
F*CKING RETARD!! EAT SH*T AND CHOKE.

Cool

Clearly, if one does not agree with Vantel and he can't answer questions about the 'facts' that he offers, he will get personal. Yes, I am on disability and my wife and I lost our small business due to the pandemic. That has nothing to do with me disagreeing with how Jim Benning manages the cap. I don't wish the past couple of months or my genetic disease on anyone. Both have been life changing and not in a positive wave.

Dude you do the same thing all the fuken time. You come out firing shots and then claim Victim.


Fuk you you miserable bastard


Three days in a row you have come out weaponizing old age against me. Three fuken days. I know you are not that smart but if you are going to start things expect return fire.

Keep in mind I NEVER start these things.

You clowns seriously don’t get it. It isn’t the stars that are the problem with the job Benning has done, it’s literally everything else. Do you honestly think that anyone who thinks Benning has done a poop job is sad that Leivo will walk as a UFA? You and your flunkeys make this place a hilarious space to lurk.
