"Oh, that's too bad. That's unfortunate".

LOL cheeky lil kunt

I think thats Smyl being a nice guy to Virtanen since he knows he's done it a number of times unlike the other rookies.

Their interests in Miller and Iginla don't make any sense at all.
And I'm pretty sure Iginla's looking to win a championship, hence him bouncing between Pens and Bruins.
Maybe he can pull a "Hossa" and get it on his 3rd try, but that's not going to happen if Vancouver is his destination.

Benning has said multiple times this team is a playoff team/his goal is to try to make the playoffs every season :pokerface:

Adding to the fact, Aqualini's are probably trying to push Benning into making the Canucks get into the playoffs.....at the end of the day it's all about money for them...

Canucks making the playoffs = ticket sales = revenue for those greedy bastards

But what did you expect Benning to say? :suspicious:
He has to tell the media that playoffs is the goal.
He can't say don't look forward to playoffs, this team is 3 years away from being ready.

Let's be real here: we all know the Canucks aren't good enough to compete against the Kings, Hawks, Blues etc, are not a legit contender for the cup and aren't even close to making the playoffs (at the moment with the current roster).

But yeah its not like he's going to say "the cup is ours next season!" :lol

AzNightmare 06-30-2014 02:25 PM

Well no, I definitely agree. We ARE like 3 years away from doing any damage.
But of course Benning or Linden will never admit that publicly.

Sign players with our cap space and have fire sales during trade dealine... atleast it keeps the season entertaining

Kesler is the new team captain. We traded out 6th for luongo. Traded 2nd for ehrhoff.

Mike gillis rehired as supreme commander of Canucks entertainment and Canucks hospitality division aka sweaty meatballs co.

Kesler traded to the Ducks for Bonino, Sbisa 1st round pick (McCann)

Garrison, Jeff Costello and 7th Rounder traded to Lightning for 50th Overall PIck then we traded that pick for Linden Vey from the Kings

We acquired Dorsett from rangers for a 3rd round pick.

We drafted Jake Virtanen with our 6th overall pick

cant believe it but i agree with u. If we can sign Brad Richards and some other bought out players for cheap and then trade them away at trade deadline, we can get some prospects and picks back in return. Unless Benning believes this team is still a playoff team which i highly doubt

Actually, you forgot about McDavid.

Tommorow will say far more about what TL/Benning are thinking than the draft did
