I think the people who talk like this team is winning the cup and planning the parade after they have an OK win against a good team, are just as annoying as the folks who trash the team after a bad win. Can't we just agree that the Canucks are somewhere in the middle. Obviously playing worse lately than their record shows, but definitely a much more improved team finally showing some real promise?

Nothing wrong with that. It’s a couple others that seem to have a hate on. And, they throw around some nasty words re: him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just relax Clearly this is a growth year. They'll likely make the playoffs and gain experience this year. I don't think anyone is serious about them winning the cup, but I do think some people think this team is trending back to last season and fighting for a playoff spot. It's obvious this year's team is miles ahead of last year's squad in terms of structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember all the doom cucks the last few games worried about the Oilers and Flames in our rear view mirror ? The moment you use the term "cuck", most folks just know to safely ignore you as a dummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when it's our team , they call them mid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this exact same debate from a year ago. Stawns brought up again, a hypothetical "big haul" for JT trade. The same hypothetical scenario broght up a year ago. To bring up the same hypothetical "big haul" again, all while JT is absolutely nailing it, I mean ffnn nailing it, is my issue. The fact your still touting some missed trade opportunity for JT that may or may not have existed, all while said player is literally one of the best forwards in the NHL is weird. Weird is the only word I can think of. Anyways, Sunday morning gym date now. I'm done with this. I will check back later and respond once I see clarification on "the big haul". All good, I appreciate the conversations, Stawns as well, just see no use debating utter hypotheticals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This entire team needed a reset after that 10 games in 17 day debacle, thanks NHL! The fact that they've played 4 more games than many teams in the West makes you wonder. I guess the upside will be, fewer games spread over more days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 13 minutes ago, BPA said: I think it’s fair to say that some of us thought JT would get $9-10M. When he signed for $8M, it was an unbelievable discount (found money). I was on board with JT at that amount. As for Bo, I wanted to keep him but thought he was in the range of $7M. But he ended up getting $8.5M. Whew, so bullet dodged there. It’s a cap world and every bit matters. I’m sure if Myers was only making $2-3M instead of $6M, fans wouldn’t be so harsh on him. This is all true - however, Bo is also 2 years younger which counts for something. Allvin has done a good job shaping up the team in a hurry but those 2 years could have meant a longer window. But with that said, Miller is certainly looking like the stronger player right now and showing no signs of slowing down. Hopefully he stays healthy and productive as he goes. At least we know he can flip to wing and still produce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been absolute stupidity to have traded Miller. Miller was and is the way better player than Horvat. The biggest problem was Horvat leading this team..it was stale and going nowhere fast..the change was much needed to give the Canucks a chance at moving forward was all.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
