i think for shiro and grabner, it was basically understood that there's a top six wing job up for grabs. if you can steal raymond's job, it's yours. but you're not going to get the spot that hansen ended up getting.

with shiro, that made sense. i feel like AV made a miscalculation on grabner though, and he probably was groomed wrong given where our team was in the late 2000s. with his speed and decent size he could have been a great fourth liner on the 2011 team instead of as a top six or bust scorer.

Agreed. I always thought Grabner could've been a good fit on the 4th line at the very least with his great speed and decent skill, and definitely more so than the likes of Tanner Glass. Turned out to be a useful PK'er too which would've further reduced the load on guys like Kesler/Burrows.

Stop Benning before he trades Podkolzin and a 2nd for Palmieri

Just fired Benning already before I lose all hopes, please just fire him. Let 2021 finally be a good year for this team. I have been a Canucks fan since 1999, never have I feel so hopeless.

It's like Micheal scott is running the team, and not even the early season Micheal Scott funny.

Grabner seemed to have work ethic issues. That's one thing I don't think AV will overlook. Guy couldn't even beat out Darcy Hordichuk for a roster spot on the Panthers (yes, I know different roles, but even as an enforcer, Hordichuk was way past his prime in even that limited function). Took a couple roster cuts for Grabner to realize that you can't just coast on talent alone in the NHL.

Somebody photoshop the Canucks logo on here and send it to Mr Aquilini quick.

Generally Grabner is/was a underrated player.
When the system fits than he can Score a lot, 2011 (34 G), 2013(short season was on a pace for 30G in 82 Games), 2017 and 2018 (25 and 27 G) with the Rangers, 2 2018 with the Devils.
2017 he lead the teams in Play Off Goals.
And than the Olympics with all NHL Superstars, Ovechkin, Crosby,Kovalchuk .....
He lead the Tournament in Goals tied with Kessel (5G) and he played jzst with Austria.
