That was Tanbir I'm 90% sure.
I always thought Y2K might be Tanbir.

well, that's because it's not.
like, can we call a spade a spade at this point? they never had the patience to rebuild. they restocked the cupboards to spend it at the earliest opportunity.
it's disastrous. they sold the farm. outright sold it.[/QUOTE
Exactly. Retool on the fly. Which lead us to a good draft pick. Sadly, they keep adding draft picks to bad trades, hoping for mediocrity. The Leafs game plan for the last 40 years pretty much.
Sadly, the media hasn't got the guts to call them out on it.
Maybe he's a CDC kind of guy.I've always assumed Tanbir posts on here. I mean, how could he not? The guy lives and breathes Canucks. To think that he wouldn't have stumbled onto HFBoards after an angry Google session is... unlikely.
y2k is a different guy, though. Don't make 'em go to the YouTube
Conditional on if Larsen meets some requirements they haven't told us.

David Ebner (Globe and Mail) said:In an hour-long interview on Monday morning at Rogers Arena, Linden’s answers were dotted with phrases such as “need to be patient,†“going to take some time†and “there’s no quick-fix.â€
...
“We’re in a new place,†Linden said. “They get it. I’ve talked to Francesco [Aquilini] a lot about where we are, about what the future looks like. He’s extremely supportive. They understand this is going to take some time, and the need to be patient.â€
Good move on Management's part.
The unfortunate reality is that most common fans equate 'rebuilding' as trading anyone over the age of 23 for picks and prospects (i.e. tearing it down). Their expectation is that by doing this, we can possibly look like the 2009 Chicago Blackhawks in 3 years and then win a cup in our 4th year.
Benning has a far better and more realistic plan for a rebuild-re-tool, and most fans will not understand this unfortunately. Hence - management will be faced with some extremely idiotic questions.
Much better to host/create a positive event rather than what would likely be a negative one due to ignorance.

Well this is the strangest re-build I've seen
Really? Who on here has ever advocated that. What everyone is disgusted by is the attempts at quick fixes and giving away draft picks doing it. Granlund for Shinaruk? Prust for Dassian and a 5th? throwing in a 2nd and 4th for Gudbrandson?
What everyone is upset by is not getting anything for UFA's on the insane hope that we were making the playoffs. I mean, I am insanely loyal, but there has to be a limit.
By the time VAN drafts 5th OA, TOR will have Matthews.
By the time VAN drafts 63rd OA (3rd round), TOR will have drafted 31st, 56th and 61st.
By the time VAN drafts 139th OA (5th round I think), TOR will have drafted 71st, 91st, 100th, and 121st.
By the time VAN drafts 153rd OA (6th round?), TOR will have drafted 151st. Losers, not having multiple picks on us.
By the time VAN drafts 183rd OA (??th round?), TOR will have drafted 178th and 181st.
But VAN gets the last laugh, after 183rd we get to draft 193rd AND TOR DOESN'T GET ANY. LOSERS.
I have to say, I hope the Canucks do the Draft party every single year, it was the highlight of the draft, it was fun, entertaining, well organized (minus a few bad lines when buying stuff at the store).
They had discounts, they had prized, pictures with players, Hanging out in the dressing room, tables and seats in the presentation area to make it actually look like you were AT the draft.
It was fantastic, I had a great time, and I will 100% go again next year, well done.
