Point is valid. It's just curious that GMs perceive Hansen's NHL career has ended when similar forwards received contracts? What is it in Hansen's game that has deteriorated to the point that he's not a viable bottom6 NHL forward? Hard to understand.
meanwhile, kesler gonna kes
Why do you always put the post you're quoting under your response? Always wondered about that. Looks weird.Speaking of Kesler.
Kesler said 4 years ago, he didn’t wanna play in Vancouver because the Canucks were “4 years away from contending for a cup”
I don’t think his time line was accurate.
I wonder more as to why he hates the few good things about the CanucksWhy do you always put the post you're quoting under your response? Always wondered about that. Looks weird.

He could have held his tongue and Tavares’d / Richards’d Vancouver one year later, correct?And Kes was crucified for wanting to get the eff out of this clustereff while publicly saying otherwise..
Welp.
As everyone now sees, the Canucks are a complete and utter gongshow.
Anyone forgive Kes now?
So who do you support?He could have held his tongue and Tavares’d / Richards’d Vancouver one year later, correct?
I wanna see them win the cup before I’m too old to know they did it, or I am dead.So who do you support?
The Canucks management/ownership?
or
The Canucks franchise?
or
Both?
If Anahiem poops the bed this year there futurell look pretty bad too and they may BLOW it up there too... will he demand ANOTHER trade?And Kes was crucified for wanting to get the eff out of this clustereff while publicly saying otherwise..

Who's the last Canuck player who left and actually had better seasons than he had on the Canucks? It always seems like all of our players that left sucked more. Kesler, Hansen, Bieksa, Ehrhoff, Salo, Garrison, Ohlund, Burrows. Well I guess most of them were outside of their primes besides Kesler Hansen and Ehrhoff.
Is anyone surprised that Benning hasn't apparently shown any interest in bringing back Luca Sbisa? After all his game hasn't changed at all; he is still exactly the same player Benning thought worthy of a lucrative three year $10.8 million contract not so long ago and with the lack of interest in his services this summer he is probably available at a 'discount' rate.
So what has changed? Certainly not Sbisa.
Excessive bodies at LD and the focus on trying to find a PP defensemen.
Edler, Hutton, del Zotto and Pouliot on the left with Joulevi and Hughes knocking on the door has Benning looking elsewhere. Not that LD should be considered a strength but I don't think he would see Sbisa as an upgrade and maybe the Cup finals may have shown him the light.
Dirk Graham - won a Selke after he left the Canucks.Rick Vaive? Mike Peca?
Wait ... Steve Staios.
Jared McCann.
I'm probably missing someone obvious.
