They were up till TDL 2017...They would not rebuild with the Sedins still here,which was not smart IMO..I've liked most of JB's moves since then

I'll agree that they haven't been as odious as some of the prior moves, but even a moderate improvement has saddled us with the likes of Roussel and Beagle.

 

[I in the Eye]

Were you expecting the Canucks to be a playoff team 2015-18..?

If I recall, you expect the Canucks to be a playoff team next year, no? I remember you put a time limit on Benning, before your support runs out... but don't recall what time that was. I think it lined up with 2 years... this being year 1.

Regardless, years are like months for Canucks fans... we can wait a couple more years... see what happens... decide from there.

 

[y2kcanucks]

The Coyotes haven't made the playoffs in 6 years..going on 7 this year...I liked Chayka's selection of Clayton Keller..but I'm still not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for that franchise.

They’ve been better than the Canucks over the last 3 year period.

 

[Intangibos]

Do you think we'll enter contract negotiations with Benning early to keep him locked up? He's done a great job with the rebuild and youth movement so far bringing in Pettersson and Boeser and.... Baertschi... and uhh.... Goldobin?
Real good stuff, pretty exciting future ahead of us if we can just get some bounces and stuff

Don't make me smack you.

 

[geebaan]

What do people think we do at the deadline?

Or what people think Benning will do?

Sucks for them.

 

[Intangibos]

Probably not much. What assets can we possibly trade away for picks or rentals? Hutton and Gudbranson seem like the only realistic pieces that may be moved, and unless we're in the playoff race we won't buy. Sutter maybe if he waives.

Wouldn't count on Benning actually pulling anything off though because lol

Don't make me smack you.

Please do it and wake me from this nightmare

If that works, then you do me.

I like where this is going.

Anyone wanna be 3rd man in?

 

[timw33]

championship-winning teams do beforehand.

Only if they nail their top-10 picks and can convert on a handful of 2-7th round picks. So far we've botched two crucial top-10 picks and that is the exact reason why we're not ready to take off now.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

So they should be..They’ve been picking at the top of the draft since 2012...

 

[Pip]

Will try to trade pending free agents MDZ, Gagner, Nilsson but nobody will take them. He’ll be unable to get Edler to waive, Tanev will be seen as too important to our future, same with Gud.

Most I see is Hutton getting moved or they bring in another age gap player.

Operating with a Value Village budget. Look no further than the Vancouver Whitecaps to see how far that'll get you.

 

[Serac]

We've picked ahead of Arizona 5 times out of the last 7 drafts (since 2012)

 

[timw33]

Gagne,

Gagner has another year at 3.15MM somehow

 

[valkynax]

Not to mention Dim Jim is a drafting GOD.

Wrong again.

Since Benning became Canucks GM he's had more top 10 picks than Arizona.

 

[kanuck87]

And to think we could be just as bad playing guys like Gaunce, Dowd, Archibald and Biega instead of paying Schaller, Beagle, Roussel and Gudbranson several millions more. Yuck.

 

[Grub]

Please look up facts first before spewing garbage. We've had more top 10 picks than Arizona.

Guddy, Roussel, Beagle, Eriksson, Schaeller all with long term contracts as well

Right..I just looked up and Arizona has been out of the playoffs since 2012..and assumed they held on to their 1sts..apparently not..

So what has John Chayka done?

My God. The Leafs had LACK...now we've got GERBS. It sounds like a venereal disease. "Ohmigawd! Did you get a date with her?! I heard she's totally got GERBS!"
