How does Skille or that Chaput guy give us a better chance to win VS. Virtanen? Or are they actually trying to lose?

Meh, I hope they lose through the entire road trip.

Willie needs to go. Then Dim Jim and co., though I wouldn't be opposed to retaining him in a scouting capacity but nowhere near franchise decision making.

Assuming this happens and Linden is retained, who are your guys first choice for coach and front office (GM, AGM, etc)

Send JV to Utica..

I was a big fan of his, but Willie is right, the guy is non existent. Doesn't hit, throws the puck away as soon as its on his stick.. I think he needs to log some big minutes in the A to regain confidence

Completely agree! Talk about mismanaging an asset that is supposedly being relied upon to fulfill a greater role in the future of this hockey club.

I am not sure whether its WD or JB that decides who gets sent down and called up, but either way someone isn't picking up on the obvious. He's an 18yr old kid who is lost and needs to go to an environment that is away from the spotlight where he can learn the basics of being a professional athlete. As was mentioned, let the guy gain some confidence, find himself hockey-wise and eventually revisit him as an option with the big club.

What has become overly apparent over the course of this road trip is that this club has little to no direction. Its time to blow it up! Were stuck with the Sedins and I'm willing to live with that given their track record. But looking at guys like Edler makes my blood boil. The last 2 to 3 years, he has been an absolute drain of team resources. NTC, you say!? Fuck him! Find a way to move him. His value may not be very high, but at this point its about cutting our losses and restocking the cupboards with prospects. While there are more players I'm sure a lot of you would like to add to this list, I'll just leave it with Edler on my part. Someone wanna chime in on Eriksson...!?

I still think he should be in the AHL, but if you're going to have him up, it's ridiculous that Skille and Chaput get in over him.

No way! This isn't the Canucks of 2 - 3 years ago. No speed, no scoring threats. Rangers are legit good and this could get ugly!

Yeah, it could be an ugly loss vs the Rangers tonight. Thank goodness that I have Rick Nash on my hockey pool team.

In his defense, Derek Roy was always a pretty good player. He wasn't game breaking but was good for almost ppg for most of his career

i swear to god I will not watch a Canucks game for years if they fucking trade Boeser.

Honestly, if that ever happens. I think I'll be done as a fan until Jim and co, Willie are long gone and replaced by people who know how to run a team.

I hope people in this city feel the same and will refuse to pack that shit hole of an arena as well.

At this rate, those guys have a better chance of being developed effectively elsewhere rather than staying with this club lol

i remain convinced that even if we finish dead last, we'd still end up getting 4th overall instead of 1st after the lottery...or draft a bust or all of that.

Because, Canucks lol

fyi, Vegas will be getting the same odds as the 3rd last team and will pick 3rd in each round.

Best chance of landing good players is to accumulate as much draft picks as possible.
