I'm glad that Miller has done so well in Vancouver. Rooting for you guys against the Blues

JTM is a beauty. Exactly what we needed. Not thrilled with giving up a first rounder but if it’s a late round pick it stings a lot less.

When you were as bad as the Canucks were under Benning, with an empty cupboard left by Gillis, I should hope your first round picks are in your lineup.

Look at Toronto, since they drafted Morgan Rielly 5th overall in 2012, their 2013 (Frederik Gautheir) 2014 (Nylander) 2015 (Marner) 2016 (Matthews) 2017 (Liljegren) 2018 (Sandin) all played in their lineup this year.

Buffalo the same, since 2013 six straight 1st rounders in their lineup. Not the playoffs, but still.

Empty cupboards? Excuse me, Bo Horvat.

Successful teams always build around their 3rd line centre.

Every GM knows a 3rd line center is foundational.

Well, if you're going to be that delusional, might as well conjure up some nice weather for yourself!!

Nothing but silence from the 100 plus Leafs fans on my facebook. A big changes from when I was being trolled non stop for the Canucks horrible rebuild after the leafs picked Matthews and were picked as the cup faves for 3 or 4 straight years.

1-0 Torts

I was gonna say something similar.

Craig Button took the Canucks.

One coach unnamed said Canucks will be a top team very soon. He said that is a shame because hates the Canucks

Yes...the point was that I don’t think it’s that uncommon for bottom feeder teams like we were. But I’d have to check!

- Calgary has five straight first rounders in their lineup from 2012 to 2016.
- Chicago has their last four straight first rounders playing for them.
- Columbus has seven of their last eight first rounders in the lineup today against Tampa.

Did anyone think that first period looked like any other regular season game? I didn't get a playoff excitement with it.

This is the life of a Canuck fan. He’s arguably our most successful GM (from an on-ice perspective) yet I don’t think you could find one fan (especially on here) who liked or admired him. I think most of us still resent what he left behind when he was canned.

Another reason why some of us are so sceptical of JB. Just waiting for him to fail like so many before him.

Even if this team JB has built goes on to contend for the next decade, people will poop on him in retrospect unless he wins a cup, and even then some will never like him.
