Drance: "Canucks management understands that this team isn’t close to contention. They see a roster with a lot of bloat on the books and a defense that needs to be reimagined, particularly on the right side."


Well frickin do something then!!

Immediately moving a capable C over $1.65m cap space saved stung them. They had to give Lazar a bigger role which isn't why he was brought in and then he got injured followed by them making moves and trading assets to fill the holes.

We both agree that cap maneuvering could have been solved in large part by not committing to Boeser. Kuzmenko and Mikheyev will far exceed what he brings.

1.65m cap space < 6.65M cap space

(frank)ing idiots.

Not to mention that most of us would have been happy with a 2nd in exchange for BB.

They'll bring in some more wingers and trade another pick for Toronto's 8th best dman

Cool, do they also recognize that they have added gasoline to the dumpster fire that they are tending to?

Lest we forget

I still remember a third-round pick for 17 games of Dermott


We never forget.

- VANTEL


17 too many!

Another wasted contract along with Stillman.

Better off rotating Brisebois, Burroughs and Rathbone for the experience alone. Still probably come out ahead on the ice as well.

Motter is better than 2 thirds of this lineup ... and on days he isn't, he tries harder than anyone on this team.

Not sure if this is management thoughts or Drance thinking he is speaking on what he thinks they are thinking, but I would sure hope they don't think they are fine on the left side.
They currently have a PP specialist who plays the most minutes and can't play defense worth shit, another defenseman that plays decent for a game or 2, then sucks for 3 games and Stillman.

Just draft centers/dmen only, good wingers are so much easier to acquire compared to good centers/dmen.

Sergachev/Chychrun/McAvoy..of course we chose the one wrong one(Bean was also a landmine)

Peeke

The team makes a profit, you don't mess with a profitable business, just keep going through the motions until the money stops flowing in.

$400 jerseys being tossed on the ice at the home opener. Ch-ching!
As long as the dollars are pouring in it doesn't matter if they're happy dollars or sad & angry dollars.
