Mr Aquilini is still sitting on this year's first and second round picks as well as next season's first.

I'm expecting some big moves if things don't change pretty soon.

Who gives a shit. Canucks are worth 1 BILLION dollars and have won f*** all. He’s laughing. Who cares about the product.

But how about but how about thats no answer Hughes cant win as the guy will never win as the guy oel meyers deserve their own criticism but Hughes got 8 million to pad stats and lose lots his d is worse than those 2 and hes soft at least they hit ffs
I agreed with you already that Hughes is relied on too heavily here lol. Disagree that he's any worse than those 2 defensively.

Imagine saying this when you go to the main boards and bait likes by saying (paraphrasing) “hfvan is full of sadistic benning haters” for like eight years now lol

those in glass houses etc
Stating my frustration with the death cult isn't baiting likes. I'm sorry that nuance confuses you mate, I really am. I can't imagine how frustrating and confusing it must make life feel.

People saying Benning did a poor job was never my problem. It was the non-sourced nonsense like, "DAE LMAO Judd Bracket had to fist fight BANNIGN to take Pettersson?"

Or "wE cOuLd hAvE hAd 9th oVeRaLl iN 2015 fOr MiLlEr" because of 1 unsourced blog post.

It was also the discrediting of the few things he did that were good. Like taking Pettersson, Hughes, Demko. The lack of humility. Like when we dealt Vanek and got Motte back, the boards were up in arms "he should have gotten back a 5th instead of some nobody". I disagreed because I actually watch other teams play and was familiar with Motte.

I was called 'bannign bro'. Then everyone loved Motte, but no humility to admit they were wrong.

But this is rehashing an old argument. I'll leave it here.

At the end of the day, we're all frustrated fans of a bad team with no direction, and we're taking it out on each other.

these last few home games have been so bad i just looked at how the 97-98 season unfolded.

on dec 20 the 6 games below .500 hawks beat the canucks 5-0.

they would proceed to go 0-5-2 in the next stretch including an 8-0 loss to philly on new year's eve.

so it can get marginally worse than this.
Just means our 0-5-2 was early.

Edit: No need to lurk in the weeds over re-litigating the Benning mess.

We're all extremely frustrated with the team and taking it out on each other. Let's leave it there.

This isn't being talked about enough. A team planning to rebuild or hit the reset button this core doesn't extend Miller and then try to extend Bo as recently as last week.

The re-tool on the fly circus will continue.
Mr Aquilini doesn't do rebuilds, he isn't into that. He's not really interested in the future, he is a man very much living in the here and now.

He is a man of action.

The pro Benning crowd was still talking about Gillis after Benning was fired last year in his 8th year as GM but sure, have some faux outrage about talking about Benning when 95% of the team is Benning's and the empty prospect pool is Benning's and the bleak hopeless expanse in front of us was 95% created by Benning's transactions.
