Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I am looking for management to look at that draft and make deals to aquire a higher draft position.
Playing like shit doesn't make our players highly valuable. It decreases their value.
They won't get the number 1 pick unless they win the lottery. The Canucks have no Crosby waiting in the minors to trade in a package for the 2015 number 1 pick. And MG can offer to trade the entire team to whoever holds the number 1 pick in 2015. He's not going to get it.
Kesler somehow went from god status/captain material to a useless and overrated guy who should be on the first plane out of town after the season. Edler, top 10 in dman points during the regular season, is everybodys new favourite scapegoat and apparently a completely worthless defenseman.
Vancouver has the worst fans in the nhl. Yea... we care about hockey, and we are passioniate, but we are also high maintenance, stuck up, and un-supportive. We are the only team in the playoffs who goes dead silent when losing, and boo's our own team instead of cheering like crazy to try to swing momentum if its not going their way.
Who said he was useless and over-rated? We wanted to trade him because his stock is high, he has a wicked contract and we can get a good return of younger players.
They wanna push to make playoffs and they think they can with Kesler. But makes no sense when trading luongo basically says we are going to rebuild. Posted via RS Mobile
As mentioned it can be a pretty quick rebuild... Canucks went from spending almost 10M cap hit on their goalies to well under half of that. I don't think Aquaman or MG really think they can make any noise in the playoffs, IF they make it, but if they do at least its 2 guaranteed home games worth of revenue. But then again they did have to blow out their playoff tickets last year to get them to sell... Then they liberate Kesler in the summer and get say a prospect and roster player back to get younger and once again save some money. Creates some space on the roster for up and comers too

Should also note Schneider started this season fairly slow, but his game seems to have come back.

Sounds like you've only seen games in Vancouver

So what if going all in for McDavid fails and some other team gets him?

And the minor detail of him not wanting to play here...

Dubnyk was never comparable to Schneider nor was he ever considered proven nor did he ever show promise.
Schneider has been a top goalie at every level of hockey he has ever played at, including the NHL. 3 consecutive seasons of .927 SV% or better including 1 as a starter and the other two as a heavily-played backup. Besides the stats, many goaltending experts have proclaimed him as the most technically-sound goaltender in the league.
And what slow start? He's allowed more than 3 goals TWICE this season and one of those games was 2 days ago and the other was in late-December.

Just think of all the local talent that we could have had over the years. Fuck these euro and russian players. Put together a team of hard hitting Canadians, LOLOLOL. A true "Canucks" team.
Also, a winning team does not have to be full of highly paid stars and first rounders. Just look at the Seahawks. Guts and determination. Not a single first round draft pick or a player who has Superbowl experience. I'm not into NFL football, but it seems the team was the little engine that could.

“It’s such a blessing,” Sherman said after all the furor died down. “It’s such an unbelievable opportunity for a bunch of nobodies. A bunch of guys who … fifth-rounders, sixth-rounders, undrafted. Guys who have come together like a family and played for one another. It’s a fairytale story that you really couldn’t write any better.”
Would love to see that here in Vancouver.

Unfortunately we don't have any elite superstars like Richard Sherman making Richard Sherman money. Better yet, we don't have a leader like Russell Wilson making Russel Wilson money. You could say the same about Earl Thomas, and....
I think you catch my drift. The 'Hawks are blessed with elite players are bargain prices. For the Canucks to get that, we need to draft and develop our young players to become stars in their entry level deals.

So.... sounds like he's the type of player we should be courting and retaining.
This is why I'm surprised why out of 2 players that wanted out, we are more eager to ditch Kesler than we were Luongo; We have/had 2 goalies who could put the same numbers as Luongo could; whereas Kesler, we're trading for "hopefulls" for someone who's arleady a sure thing.
Anyhow, I understand why Luongo is the last straw for some but for me, if Kesler goes... that'll be my personal line on the ground. No matter who we get back for Kesler, until we get rid of the Sedins and the culture they've cultivated within the team... re-tooling and/or rebuilding will yield little to no difference into the type of team we are, and will be IMO.
This team needs some nastiness; and a little bit of crazy here and there. As a fan, one can only hope. :/
