Serenity now!
Yeah but that’s not the sayi... never mind.I would argue that it is now the 17th best time.

Our owner is a friggin’ dough head?Our 3 best forwards have a combined caphit of 12.05M. (Boeser,petey,miller)
Our 3 worst have a combined caphit of 12.337M (Eriksson, baertschi, beagle)
how does our gm still have a job when he’s spending more money on his 3 worst forwards combined compared to his 3 best
Would prefer trade if possibleApparently due to Virtanen’s age, he can be bought out at a cost of $50k in 21-22 and 500k in 22-23.
Seems like a no brainer.
Well, as the saying goes, the best time was 5 years ago; the second best time is now.
The time has long since past for Benning to be fired.
And yet, he's still here.
Nobody can provide a rational argument to support such a thing.
Knowledgeable fans have already demolished any arguments that Benning deserves his job.
The sad fact is that even marginal success is enough to dupe FA
It boggles my mind.
Maybe a fan boycott of merchandise can sway Frank the Tank's thinking.
Every dollar counts, after all.
Merch sales are split evenly throughout the league so no team is able to be hurt by it unfortunately.The time has long since past for Benning to be fired.

Yes for sure the bean counters would see the individual teams merch sales and meetings with ownership about themwould likely happen. The league is also going to see an increase of sales with Seattle coming in. So us few diehards making a stand isnt going to be noticed. Cant even wear a paper bag in the rink with no fans, no fire Benning chants. The best anyone can do is renting a billboardThat is something I didn't realize.
And I thank you for letting me know.
Nonetheless, I'm sure FA would notice if Canucks merch took a nosedive
Knowing it's a league-wide thing doesn't change my outlook
Total revenue would take a hit.
I doubt the Acquilinis would just brush that off.
Most business savvy people would pay attention to a revenue drop.
Every dollar counts.
Guys guys guys.Yes for sure the bean counters would see the individual teams merch sales and meetings with ownership about themwould likely happen.

Then we can gofundme Mike Gillis to go on a hunger strike infront of Rogers Arena?Guys guys guys.
If Belorussians can spend months on end protesting a brutal regime in the dead of winter...
Ha ha.Then we can gofundme Mike Gillis to go on a hunger strike infront of Rogers Arena?
If they lose next game it's curtains.Season is over before it even started. You just know this team is gonna on a run late to f*** up draft position and to no mans land.

When's the last time a team's captain left in free agency? Was Suter the captain of Nashville?
I saw Erickson play for Sweden several times in the 2010 Olympics and he was absolutely dominant. He beat world class Dmen consistently on the outside and just powered to the Net. The Sedins, even a year ago, vouched for this guy. He was effective in Boston yet, now by the eye test, he rarely seems to get a single shot on goal per game.
Again... Are you getting him mixed with someone else? He was never a player like Miller...The age argument seems logical except for the fact his first year in Van when he was younger was as bad as the current year.
Other than aging being the obvious answer, what happened to his level of play.
Is it the Greener effect to break down a player's game and try to build something he wants?
(This year, the transformation of Virtanen to a wreck like Erickson is nearly complete.)
Is it just confidence, desire?
Erickson is a shadow of the player he was and the player he once was, was similar to Miller.
Too bad anyway, as the Nucks could use 2 Millers.
Going to be interesting seeing the messaging and comms coming from Ownership, Management, Coaching, and players once the playoffs are less than the absolute moonshot that they are now.
If ever there was a metaphor for closing the barn door after the horse has run out, though...Apparently due to Virtanen’s age, he can be bought out at a cost of $50k in 21-22 and 500k in 22-23.
Seems like a no brainer.
To be fair, I think the team is better than their season so far has indicated, so it would probably be "just" within this framework. But then I already think it's idiotic that draft position is only based on the last single season, at a 1:1 ratio of badness, to enable this conclusion in the first place. It's exactly how things like those late-season runs totally muddle the picture each year, even though you can see who the bottom teams are quite easily over the last several years.Season is over before it even started. You just know this team is gonna on a run late to f*** up draft position and to no mans land.

Anyway, his decline occurred rapidly when he came to Vancouver under Willy D and continued under Greener to the point where he doesn't look like the same player.
The guy was once a very good hockey player and he isn't anymore.
Please change the narrative he has always been crap.
Wife hated it here and being away from home. She was 20 and didn’t speak English. Her husband was away on 2 week road trips. Our management should have helped her, but were too froighin’ stupid to realize the importance of pkayers’ FAMILIES,
Thank you Benning. God I can’t believe our owners thinks Mr. “my hair is turning grey, I need shoe polish” is what we need.
She’s five years older. Plus, he wants to return to the NHL.https://thehockeywriters.com/vancouver-canucks-screwed-up-nikita-tryamkin/
" By the end of a dismal 2016-17 season, Tryamkin was arguably one of the Canucks better defensemen. His usage by Desjardins and Lidster didn’t show it, as his average time on ice was actually less in his sophomore season than during his rookie season. Even more bizarre was Desjardins inferring that Tryamkin was the reason why the Canucks lost a game to Boston last March. When Tryamkin signed a three year contract with Avtomobilist earlier this spring, Canucks general manager Jim Benning claimed the Russian blueliner went home due to family reasons. Tryamkin confirmed during this latest interview that to be partially true, but he emphasizes that much of his decision was based on how the Canucks used him last season. Tryamkin was regularly benched in late game situations when he was in the line-up, with struggling players like Luca Sbisa, Alex Edler and Gudbrandson playing ahead of him. This isn’t to say that Tryamkin is a better overall player than those three, but he was at times. It seemed like the Canucks coaching staff was unwilling to adjust how it doled out ice time for its defense pairs according to the flow of the game and who was playing best. He finished with less ice than every blueliner on the Canucks roster except for Philip Larsen, which means the team saw Tryamkin as nothing more than a seventh defenseman. He also ended the season 14th among rookie defensemen in total ice time."
My understanding is he now wants to return to Vancouver with the same wife.
Draw your own conclusions.
