2020 Tank Thread: Get Punched in the Solar Plexus for Alexis

[Phenomenon13]

I dont see us drafting high unless we win the lottery. Our team is mediocre and not straight up awful like a true tanking team. With some upgrades in free agency I can see us around 10th again.

How bad is French education in BC?

Lah - fruh - NYAIR, folks.

Justin was a better french teacher than a PM & my french is HORRIBLE. (people at the Aberdeen mall speak better English than my French).

Ok, the actual truth is, Justin DID teach french at my high school but decades AFTER ( my story though sounds better if leave that part out )

 

[THE Green Man]

Play like Derrière for Lafrenière, bros.

God, I hate you, Benning.

Thread title should be changed to this.

 

[PuckFather]

Hopefully, we have a new GM by then.

Draft is in Vancouver and the clown couldn't even get an extra 2nd or 3rd

For who? I don't think any teams wanted to take out our garbage.

 

[PuckFather]

I hope both the tank and lottery goes well for 2020. I'm sick and tired of us dropping every year.

 

[UK Canuck]

I've got a feeling we trade our 2020 1st + for PK Subban

 

[Lindgren]

I've got a feeling we trade our 2020 1st + for PK Subban

Something like that wouldn't surprise me at all, but my prediction is the Canucks deal their 2019 2nd and something like Virtanen or Hutton for a veteran winger coming off a career year, who will then get an extension.

OMG. I was just going off his and completely missed the obvious.

do not care for lafreniere

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Lol if we do end up getting Lafrenier by the time he plays for us Horvat will be 26. 28+ in today’s NHL is a depreciating asset.

I agree

 

[passive voice]

Pas trop fiers pour Lafreniere

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Well la-di-da everyone. Guess I'm the only rurally educated westerner here

Sink into despair for Lafreniere. (That rhymes, right?)

28+ is just getting warmed up!

 

[Mr Plow]

Anyone bashing Benning in this thread needs to get their head examined. Without him steering the ship for past five years we would be a playoff mainstay by now and wouldn't even have a chance at Lafreniere.

 

[elitepete]

I can’t do this shit anymore. We have the worst gm and the NHL hates us.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

I can’t do this **** anymore. We have the worst gm and the NHL hates us.

I dont know what to do... I cant go through another season like this.

Watching reverse hockey, hoping for losses... I dont think I can anymore. 5 years is a long ass time to not expect anything from a team.

 

[ErrantShepherd]

I can’t do this **** anymore. We have the worst gm and the NHL hates us.

Tbf, we always have the worst GM and the NHL hates us. Even when that GM wins GM of the year.

Although it's probably pretty close to true this year.

And then we finish bottom 3 and finally win the lottery

Horrible way to start my morning thanks for nothing ya big jerk

Sorry

No chance we get Lafreniere. Canucks will probably finish with 85-90 points. Best case scenario, we miss the playoffs and Benning gets Fired! No more top 5 picks gentlemen, we will be mediocre next season but definitely not terrible.

I could see this happening if Markstrom is truly an elite goalie and plays to a similar level, or better, next year. If the goaltending regresses at all the team will finish lower in the standings. In addition, the Western Conference should be stronger next year. I'd say 85-90 points is an absolute best-case scenario for the Canucks.

Really depends whether Markstrom can keep it up and if Edler stays. Not to mention that Hughes has to be an impact player. Then what are they going to do with free agency? A lot has to go right again for the Canucks just to be in the (real) playoff hunt and by that I dont mean hovering around a wild card spot because of games played or lot of overtime games.

 

[M2Beezy]

Hopefully we have more than one first round pick for this one. Honestly, that's all I ask for.

Sign Edler to a one year deal,trade him at the TDL for a 1st +

Then do the same the next year if were still not in the playoffs hunt

 

[Raistlin]

I've been on team tank for last five years, I need a break from this. This was the year when we should be adding another top 5 pick, but Markstrom and Petey torpedoed that, hoping for a top 6 guy at 10 now. This year we should be challenging for a playoff spot with Hughes. Hopefully we sign one of the impact FAs and take advantage of the ELCs of our meagre core. It's time I resign to the fact that we really cannot count on luck as a Canuck fan, so realistically with the current core we are staring at drafting 7-14 for the next draft if we are to hope for a tank. No thanks, it's time to start getting playoff experience towards our ultimate goal.

That’s what we get when we have an idiot for GM
