I don't think it's bias to prefer 500-word nuanced opinions to 300-character hot takes, to be fair.
It's just being 1 step further away from the idiocracy.

Let’s hope they can keep this going into the regular season..They had almost 300 goals against last season ( atrocious) …need to shave off about 40 goals this season.

Canucks penalty kill has been the bright spot of preseason | Offside
Though the first five games of preseason, the Vancouver Canucks penalty kill looks much stronger than it did last season.

It feels like our system needs to be rebuilt. Again.
Hopefully Allvin's first two drafts bear fruit. Benning's last two (2020 and 2021) are looking horrid. Nonis/Gillis level.
You can probably add 2019 to that list.

Some of wish we were 50. But still retired, and with money to spare. I miss having a body that works.
Then again, I play hockey 2 x week, golf and pickleball 2 - 3 times a week, and take 4 - 5 trips a year, so life could be worse.
2016 is the worst. All that suffering for mother f***ing Juolevi and Lockwood
I'm 36, so I'll join you there.
I can't recall how old I was when I discovered this site, but I graduated in 2005, and would often check out HFBoards, while taking homework breaks.
Been tuning in almost daily ever since.

Well this thread turned sad. In 2008 I was a young high school kid posting aggressive stuff and getting infractions on this site. Now I'm an old 32 years old dude with 2 kids. I hope this forum stays alive for much much more longer.
Now on the training camp, so far impressed with Soucy & Hronek, our D should be much more improved this year.
From the London Knights.... Mat.... Olli Fu*******g Juolevi.

Yeah but at least they got SOME mileage out of it. Extremely low bar obviously but 2020/2021 feel like a whole other tier of awful.
Jury is still out on some players from those drafts I guess, but yeah....
I actually don't think the 2019 draft is bad. Podz and Hoglander were damn good prospects after their D+1 and D+2. But like someone said in the other thread, Hoglander's been given every opportunity to succeed and nothing has clicked, and Podz has mental struggles. Sometimes shit happens and your prospects don't turn out for whatever reason, but I don't think anyone would disagree with the fact that both clearly have tools and drive to succeed. In another world, it's a home run draft getting two top 6 wingers, and it really looked like that was going to happen.
They still have a really good prospect in Silovs in the system.

If the Canucks had just kept all their draft picks from 2019 onward, we wouldn't be having this endless debate about the future of the few guys we did draft.
Teams that stockpile picks and do a proper rebuild, usually always come ahead in the end when it comes to their prospect pool. The more picks you have, the more chances of landing a big fish.
Benning dealt too many picks for plugs and projects--it's really that simple.

Go ahead foot
Canucks wrap up their exhibition schedule with a game against the Flames at the Rog tonight.. Canucks will dressing most of the opening night lineup.....whereas, who knows who the Flames will send to Vancouver?
Maybe they do us a favor and ice the kind of lineup the Canucks sent to the Saddledome to start the exhibition schedule....but of course that's impossible since all teams are down to their final pre-season cuts.
A win to close out pre-season would be nice.....but still won't expunge that 10-0 beatdown that opened the exhibition schedule.

guenther would be nice, but i think he's the only traded pick making an impact so far.
is there any other pick we gave up during the benning era that stings other than rasmus andersson?
Remarkably, no. Mukhamidullin is the other notable one but I mean we got JT Miller with it.

The organization was also very high on Debrincat as reported by Botchford, and very likely would of been the pick that was traded for Gudbranson.
The scouts were high on Debrincat but I’m dubious that Benning would have ever let them make that pick.
