Speculation: NHL and Canucks to make 'special announcement' tomorrow

[Frankie Blueberries]

Just posted from their Facebook page:

Since it's the NHL AND Canucks, I expect something lame such as another game in China or an outdoor Winter Classic. Unless this is to confirm the 2019 draft?

[Chairman Maouth]

2019 draft I bet.

My guess too.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

The NHL has admitted to it's previous transgressions and thus they will be rewarding the canucks the 1st overall pick in 2018 as remuneration

 

[rune74]

My guess too.

Plus, that may be the year we finally get first overall hahaha

 

[Ainec]

Mark Messier's jersey # will be retired

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

I find it funny that they planned this announcement right after another lackluster trade deadline. They really think their fans are stupid and patronize us so much. It's ridiculous.

 

[Dissonance Jr]

The league is applying the mercy rule and awarding us the #1 overall pick this year.

 

[Samzilla]

It's gonna be great when we have like 5 draft picks that day.

 

[tantalum]

The league will let the Canucks off the hook for Luongo cap recapture.

Or the draft. One of the two.

The league has obviously deemed Benning unfit to GM and for the betterment of the league he will be stripped of his GM powers in a press conference. He will also be paraded out of the arena to his car in a clown suit with Bettman walking behind him ringing a bell repeatedly saying "shame."

 

[canwincup]

Jim Benning will be named the next commissioner of the National Hockey League

This would be fantastic.
Alternatively, management screwed up Benning's contract like Tryamkin's, and the contract is void ab initio.

first team to be relegated to the AHL?

 

[Duckhugs]

first team to be relegated to the AHL?

God i hope so.. that would be hilarious

'with the first overall pick we have Vancouver... Vancouver is on the clock... We have a trade to announce... Vancouver trades their first pick along with pick 32 to Boston for forward Brad Marchand.'

Id take it even if just the first part of your post

 

[I in the Eye]

Maybe to announce Chris Higgins might be re-signed?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Jim Benning resign as Canucks GM, takes over Bean’s seat as nhl commissioner

Thank god he'll be wearing clothes.

 

[vancityluongo]

Commemoration of the upcoming 7 year anniversary of a Stanley Cup being awarded in Vancouver.

 

[Fire Benning]

Hosting the draft.

 

[Kryten]

Benning got caught tampering again, this time Tavares.



Or announcing the 2019 draft

 

[clunk]

Either the Sedins re signing or the draft.
