Thanks Carol

Alas ! Heavy sigh.

Thanks Carol!

Interesting article/outlook on the Canucks and 4 other "rebuilding" teams, written a year ago.

"In seven drafts from 2006 to 2012, covering a time the Canucks’ window was open or opening, they picked just one player who is making a difference on this team: Ben Hutton."

Trevor Linden is supportive of his GM, but it’s clear ownership is waiting for…something. They are taking a run at re-signing Erik Gudbranson, but it will be interesting to see if both team and agent are on the same page. Among those whose value they are testing: Ben Hutton and Anders Nilsson. Hutton is due $2.8 million next year, Nilsson $300,000 less.

This is what really grids my gears. What the (frank) are they waiting to see? What the (frank) are they testing?

Problems are glaringly obvious. It is February 7th. Action plans should be well in-place by now. Not waiting or testing.

It's not like these guys have to action space flight. Calculate astro-projection. What the (frank) have they been doing since October? Probably thanking God they don't have to pay money to watch this poop.

Thx Carol! What a performance by Granlund

The fact they want clarity on the Sedins before making a move is frightening. They are 38 for (frank)sakes! Move the (frank) on !!!😡😡

Math is never their strong point

I agree with Bloated. Decisions should have been already made.

I hate the quote "waiting for the market to..."

Some GMs follow the market.
Some GMs set the market.
Our GM gets trampled by the market.

They've probably laid framework on some couple deals.

JB: Awwww, Trev, these seats we sit in are awwwwww, real good. Popcorn even gooder.

TL: Yes, Jimmy, these are nice seats but PLEASE don't eat so much popcorn. It really isn't good for you.

JB: Why are you always telling Jimmy WHAT TO DO!
