I can't believe it's almost been 20 years since Messier signed here.
I literally can remember the moment like it was yesterday as a 13/14 year old watching Sportsnet or whatever channel it was at the time in my basement seeing the news break and going WTF!!!

I'm always back and forth on TSn vs Sportsnet. I just end up watching highlights twice once on each channel haha. The Score on the other hand geez. Sports Page was it? Back in the day as a kid was pretty awesome too.

I remember being in Winnipeg at the time and looking at the newspaper at my grandparents place shocked we got Messier and happy since Bure wanted a #1 center to play with.

Boy was I wrong LOL
Lol it was a weird time as a fan I remember there was so much potential I guess having Bure, Mogilny, Messier I guess among others but man did shit not come together at all on so many levels.

at the time it was a good move, ended up turning beyond horrible but at the time it was exciting having the player who calling game 7 that beat the Canucks in the 94 finals and one of the best players ever (at the time) signed with the Canucks.
There was a bit of reaction to the Wayne Gretzky/Vancouver Canucks story from 1996 I told last week on Sportsnet The FAN 590, so I went back through my notes to see how the late Pat Quinn explained it. He went to bed after lengthy negotiations knowing Gretzky needed to run it by his family, but felt things would get done. I said then-owner John McCaw pressured for an answer that night, but misspoke. It was former Orca Bay CEO Stan McCammon who demanded it, threatening to pull the offer if there was no immediate commitment. When McCammon could not be persuaded to wait, things unravelled. Its common knowledge Gretzky and Cliff Fletcher hoped to work out a deal in Toronto, only to have it fall apart without ownership support.
Gretzky was by all accounts pretty much a Vancouver Canuck. They just needed to give him the night to sleep on it and run it past Janet before signing.
Originally posted by 97ITR He would step out of his freshly downtown autospa detailed 996 C4s, check out his own reflection in the driverside window out of habit, take off his brand new limited edition D&G aviator sunglasses so the mf can see the fury in his eyes, sashay over to the other guy and then threaten to insert his black leather Savatore Ferragamo loafers into the guys rear-end.
This doesn't so much reflect poorly on McCann as it does on Benning.
Take kid who isn't ready, put him in the pros, keep him in the pros despite issues on and off the ice, trade him at the end of the season because of "character issues."
He was also instrumental in shipping Seguin out of Boston.
lol i was reading that article about how he expects maturity from 18 year olds at pre draft interviews
so not only is this guy garbage at asset management and trading, he's also not familiar with being human and expects any potential superstar to act like a 10 year veteran at 18 or he'll pick the serviceable plug with a "better" attitude.
Ok, Jimbo, I gotcha.
We're fucked.

And here all along I thought it was Virtanen with the character and party boy issues
Based on early season play, they had to keep McCann to at least keep the fans interested. Virtanen came for the ride because he was the higher pick and offered more of an all around game potential, IMO.
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I donīt care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. Thatīs how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. - Rocky Balboa
figured...they'll probably give us the 2018
unless Jimbo trades it away for a 5th round pick lol

Not surprising, Benning was the key guy in Boston behind getting rid of Seguin for maturity issues off ice.
and the man instrumental in that robbery is now in charge of our assets
