It's going to fall apart at some point. Unless they just continuously throw their picks at vets and never draft anyone, and then once they age out put their contracts on LTIR and continue the process.

They’ve been in the finals 2 times in their short history. Whatever they’re doing it seems to be working.
They’ll be a different team once the playoffs start and everyone returns to the lineup

Oh ya, just saying in 2-3 years when everyone is 30+ on their roster and they have no good youth coming up through their system... will they still be pulling it off. I'm doubtful.

(frank) I hate Vegas…we don’t even get Phil
- CanuckDon

They had the cup space.

Love it - i'm personally pumped they didnt blow anymore picks (what few we have left) and we didn't part with any of the swedish kids, Sass, Bains, Pods, Karlsson, Raty - all players that we will desperately need their contracts next year.

There wasnt one player on the TDL list that I was interested in - really happy they stuck with the team they got. Having Soucy and Joshua healthy will make this team a powerhouse. Hopefully Lindholm, Bluegar, Suter, Milky can get going a little bit.

BTW - really great to hear Brisebois is back staking with the team and hopefully returning to Abby soon.

Keep drinking your koolaide

Vegas doesn’t concern me at all. Colorado is the only team that would easily beat Van imo

Oilers will eat you alive in a seven series

Avs are scary good, Canucks are not at that level....yet!! It took Colorado 11 years from drafting Landeskog to build a winner, the Canucks just need to keep going down their current path.
- Pacificgem

Let’s see Wednesday what the level is for Canucks.

I’ll give you what the Canucks line up should be.

Suter JTM BB
Hogs Petey Pods
Joshua Lindy Garland
Mik Bluegar Lafferty

QH Hronek
Cole Soucy
Zadarov Myers

You give me the Avs to compare and see how it stacks up.

I don’t agree.

All the talking heads in the media giving zero respect to the canucks as legitimate cup contenders. Even Toronto got a vote to win the cup (mind you it was Biz Nasty).

Youre not good enough.

The Oilers are only scary in round 1. Past that not a big threat.

#Canucks are done for the day, I'm told.

No moves, and did not sign Phil Kessel.
- Pacificgem

I gave Allvin a call and told him (as the only real fan) what I posted here yesterday, temper expectations and do not mortgage the future to lose in round 1. He thought hard on that and said "you know Makita that is some sound advice, I have been getting caught up in the hyperbole and hoopla BS, think I'll take your advice and stand pat...as in Patty Allvin, yuuccckkkk" then he hung up.

If you could pause long enough to get mcdavids sac out of your mouth you would have noticed the Canucks embarrassed the oilers this season. Take a break, get some fresh air

Did he mention anything about dinner plans with Don and Aquilini?

Why would i have dinner plans with Francesco you little rat?

Management does seem to realize that they need ELC's coming in to supplement roster spots next year, so good on them to not sell the farm, to coin a phrase....
- carsonagenic

Of course they realize ELC’s are needed lol

They did some window shopping & didn’t find anyone that could help. Looks like nothing at the Thrift store.

Sharks own their 25 1st, Flames their 26th. The thing with teams like Vegas, they’ll always attract free agents, and management has the cap figured out. Canadian teams at a huge disadvantage over lots of American franchises.

I don't understand not signing Kessel

What would it cost? 200k? (pro-rated league minimum contract)

Leave him conditioning in Abby and call him up if the lineup gets stagnant or there's a rash of injuries

Players got to wise up and get No Moves in their Vegas contracts

They move a lot of guys out when they see a new shinier toy that they like more

I don’t agree.
- CanuckDon

When Knobby plays Draisaitl,Hyman and McCrusty together the other 3 lines look Meh.
Sure, once in a while they may get something from the bottom 9 but it’s not really consistent. The D is suspect, goaltending can go either way. I see both Dallas and Winnipeg as bigger threats.

Keep drinking your koolaide
- LFS

Keep raping your players.

Some pretty decent sandpaper went for pretty cheap, I highly doubt they would have cost any of the young kids Allvin talked about, maybe a 2026 4th rounder.

I guess when you are as great as the Canucks, you don't need sandpaper.

I say Canucks might win 2 games come the playoffs, hopefully I am wrong

Oilers fan are pure trash and there are no rules. Also that wasn’t a homophobic comment. That was me being concerned for a fellow poster.

Crosby a cup in year 4.
McD none in year 9.
Going down as the modern day Marcel Dionne. All points no result.

Draisaitl will inform them next year that he has no intention of resigning in Edmonton. Year after that McDavid makes his exit. They’ve got a 1 year window.
