Although, this is guaranteed to happen:

- get absolutely demolished in January, looks promising for the tank
- Demko comes back, Boudreau might get fired, new coach and goalie bump pushes us to wildcard territory
- Bo, Kuz, Schenn not traded for the push
- miss playoffs by 4 points

There's no room for debate.....this team is the worst defensive team in the NHL. At times watching them is laughable. They look like a squirt team skating on their ankles.

I can only hope somewhere Jim Benning is red-faced watching that pairing of OEL and Myers.....after all, he was the guy who inflicted these guys on the Canucks for years to come.

And the hilarious part, Jimbo believed OEL was capable of Norris like seasons.

How do you get good defensemen these days other than drafting? Nobody is going to trade theirs. Drafting and developing good d men takes at least 3 or 4 years. You don't want to trade away our best players like Hughes Pettersson Kuzmenko, but what good are they if they don't have the supporting cast? We are kinda in a bad spot here. The way this team looks, it's rebuild now. or be a mediocre team for the next 5 or 6 years, then rebuild.

Classic choke job

How is pathetic incompetent Cull still employed? All of the coaching staff is useless

I get that this roster sucks .. thanks yo PA and JR but not this bad. Zero structure

Tank on
Mr "I refuse to buy my kid a $$$$$ computer" likely doesn't want to be paying for three NHL head coaches (only one of whom behind the Canucks bench).

Jim Benning was nothing more than a fraud, I cannot believe we bought that 'Boston Model' bull****

The time I spent arguing what was obviously a disorganized, incompetent regime was not worth the vindication I feel now being correct. I wish I wasn't.

Blame Benning all you want though and you'd be right, I see him more as a symptom now.

JEB is a complete moron who, I will say this as many times as I can, should have his name carved into a slab of granite and be placed in the latrine of Rogers Arena for all of eternity.

But I think Moleman and Allvin are more fitting of the title of fraud - both made grand promises of things to come, both talked out a galaxy, and neither delivered anything to the fans.

I'm starting to think this is all a sly ploy for Fredo to hire people who won't outshine him, and the sole purpose of these people is to make Fredo himself look better.

And if JR and Allvin are shown the door down the road, it all comes back to ownership. The Canucks brand right now is really bad, talent is there but it's not good hockey. Aquaman more concerned about playoff revenue in stead of icing a proper hockey team that can compete.

I've said this many times, I will not dish out my hard earned money to watch this team unless it's on the company dime. Haven't even bought anything Canucks related for close to 10 years now.
