Can forget. I think, getting one top guns out of the draft. Like usual got to settle back and enjoy the ride, recognizing the long term needs of the team won't be realized.

Do you buy it ?So after that 0-5-2 start to the season, the Canucks are 16-10-1.
His style of skating puts significant strain on his ACLs and MCLs.
The injury you are talking about, his knee buckles with rather minimal contact.
There is or should be a deadline for possible playoffs.Canucks will need Boeser to show up if they want any shot at digging themselves out of this hole and into the playoffs
EP actually looks happy. He was a total mope the last 2 years. Maybe the dude just got dumped, and "wrist injury" is code word for single.
Thought it was common knowledge.His knee injury had nothing to do with his skating stride. He was getting horse-collared by Steve Smith and his leg buckled funny as he was falling backwards.
Then the surgery to fix his ACL failed and it had to be reconstructed a second time. By this point he had Bobby Orr-itis and his knee was a mess.
I mean, obviously being an incredibly muscular, powerful athlete puts more strain on your joints than if you skate like Kole Lind. But Bure's career was shortened by a blown ACL when hauled down and then a failed surgery.

Love this town; EP gets 5 points, "quick sign him to a ten year extension at a trillion dollars a year!", Bo gets 4 points, "quick trade the bum while his value is high"...
Wasn't his wrist or a girl. That's all I'll say.EP actually looks happy. He was a total mope the last 2 years. Maybe the dude just got dumped, and "wrist injury" is code word for single.
There are more than a few posters here who have been critical of almost every move he makes, just follow a GDT someday. Some don't even like the way he scores his goals! What you're saying, without sufficient emphasis I might add, is that our CURRENT GM has screwed up royally by signing Miller forever thus making us unable to sign a younger, more reliable player who also is our friggin' CAPTAIN! This has very little to do with Benning, this is 100% on PA. Signing Miller could cripple this franchise for years and years...Who is saying he's a bum exactly?
He's hitting the absolute pinnacle of his career in a contract season in which we cannot afford to pay him market price due to a combination of previous management's anchor contracts and poor decisions to extend Boeser/Miller by the new group. Without some aggressive and creative moves in the next few months, we're essentially railroaded into taking the absolute best trade package we can find. Simple as that.

Yes but it's not like PA could do much about those; instead he saddles the team with yet another insane contract that simultaneously renders Miller untradeable and makes it impossible to sign our captain who is playing out of his mind.It's not like we have more than 13 million tied between two horrible defense men, oh wait...

It wasn't just his leg buckling funny, it got caught in a rut between the boards and the ice. Was just gruesome to see.His knee injury had nothing to do with his skating stride. He was getting horse-collared by Steve Smith and his leg buckled funny as he was falling backwards.

ACL injuries were also much more serious back then. The science was not good enough. Hell sports science was pretty meh back in the 90’s compared to now.
Thought it was common knowledge.
Nothing I will say will change your mind.
I could be misremembering - but on that first play with Smith where Bure tore his ACL, didn't his toe catch a rut in the boards and tug his leg back?
I swear that's how that first torn ACL occurred.
EDIT:
Found it.
