Everyone needs to just accept that the next 2 years are going to suck. There is a chance we find early rebuild chemistry like the cup final flyers did... but nope.

We have 4 first round picks in the last 2 years in our system now.

I know I got the back of these kids. Bo Horvat can... and will be that guy!

Make my day.
12th overall pick after we spend all the cap space we generated through trading late 20s geriatrics for 30 something young guns on 6-7 year deals.

Living in a world where you expect the worst for the Vancouver Canucks isn't helping. There is science to prove that negative thoughts can effect real things.

Escape the loop.

Overreaction. You guys are ridiculous.

We are literally not even a day in to re shaping the team. There will be more trades and more signings.

Can't we wait a week?

I think Lowe and MacTavish have a cumulative IQ of at least 30 points higher than Linden and Benning. So not well, nor do I think this team is in good hands.

I am not happy right now. Why could they get more for Garrison and Kesler. Sure we saved some money. but we should have at-least gotten the Ott pick for Kesler

Upsetting the Ducks' stacked roster in the first round with Bonino as our second line center.

Way too early to guess. FA has not started, and there could still be more trades. Will wait for camp to start.

We're going to be a hard working team that might challenge for a wild card spot. The team will be better than last year.

Anaheim had a hard time giving the 24th.

Key turning point in Kesler talks was Anaheim willing to include 24th overall pick, which Ducks had resisted all along.

I highly highly doubt they would've offered the 10th.

Not much... I hope SJS doesn't do their rebuild we need the Pacific to stay strong and best on us, I would like a top pick again next year hopefully top 3. I hope we don't go crazy on July first let Lack and Markstrom be our goalies and see what we got there.

Who is going to sign here? Nobody wants to come to Vancouver. Only way we're getting anyone is to throw outrageous hit and term, and that is the last thing we need to do.

Consider what you expect if our second line was Cammy - Stastny - Vanek. Now what you expect with our current roster.


That's the reason it's too early to ask this question. We cleared salary in what could only be a cap move by sending Garrison to Tampa. Let's see how free agency plays out and then set our expectations.


but for the sake of the topic, I will say that I expect to see a really well coached team. I don't care what tools we have on the team, but I want Willie Desjardins to prove that he did earn this spot in the NHL.

Make our players play with a winning attitude again. I want a successful powerplay. I want to see our youth cracking the line-up and showing promise. The Kassians, Lacks, Jensens and Shinkaruks of our team amongst others.

That and a bounceback year from a lot of players. Hank, Dank, & Burr mainly.

And you know what is a good move?

So many posters here are beyond temperamental towards decisions that they don't agree on. :shakehead
