In. Can't wait for the draft!!

been 5 years since the good ole 2011 riot / stanley cup finals

feels fucking bad mannnnn

didn't make the first page :okay:

I hear that JB isn't happy about the team not making the playoffs. There are rumours that JB wants to trade the fifth overall pick to get players who can help the team can back into the post season.

Is there more to these rumours? Aquaman mentioned in media conference in the past that management has "full autonomy" on hockey related decisions.

I don't believe for a minute that Aquilini is not meddling with hockey personnel decisions for the team.

This owner is all about the money, the revenue. Is it possible that the owner is interfering with Dim Jim's draft rebuild strategy for the team and demanding that this team makes the post season in 2016-2017?

What if Aquaman had this conversation with JB and Linden: :troll:

Aquilini: "Guys, I want my team to make the playoffs. This past season was a disgrace! You know how much money I'm losing right now on this team?? I can't sell enough greasy pizza from Pizza Hut, blueberries, or condos to cover my losses! Do whatever it takes to get this team back into the playoffs, or else!

Linden: "What about your promise of giving me and Jim full autonomy on hockey related decision?"

Aquilini: "Yeah, well, I just tell the media what they want to hear. This is my team. I want the Canucks to make the playoffs next season, capiche???"

Dim Jim: "Well, we do have some assets to trade to make this team better. Maybe trading draft picks? Hmm, I'll think about the strategy after I finish eating my sushi from Miku. It's delicious!"

Aquilini: "Excellent! That's what I want to hear, guys! Get to work"

Linden: (stone faced. Then he facepalms after Aquilini leaves the meeting room".

Carlyle ducks coach again

Glen Gulutzan front runner for Flame's coaching position

Probably thats why i saw tom renney today at hotel lobby

Nice try, but he's the president and ceo of hockey canada

Kuzma claims gulutzen is getting the flames job

Gillis joins Geneve-Servette in the Swiss league

Yup...looks like Flames will be announcing hiring of Gully, most likely after Howe's funeral out of respect for Mr. Hockey

Announcement of team to Vegas is upcoming apparently as well.

Official now

Clouts is the new Canucks goalie coach
looks like Rollie is staying as a player development coach, i'm assuming he'll be working out of Utica mostly (basically Cloutier's old job)

makes sense and great to still have Rollie with the team and with Demko is the most important thing. I'm happy that Clouts has turned his carrier around .

yea Melanson will work with our ahl goalies only now.

Good for clouts. I always liked him even when he was playing here.

Oh hai canucks thread

Black Knights makes me think of Independence Day with the good Reverend Harry Connik Jr.
