    I think the hats are owned by Molson’s plenty of money I can see Aquilini working the concession stands trying to make a couple of bucks to pay Sedins salary,

    It’s not all about money it’s the Tkachuk/USA thing. Quit Hughes another example. This is nothing new Ryan Kesler did the same thing, it’s just more rampant now. Winning a cup on a Canadian team is a longshot, that also plays into this.

    No best players in the world are coming to Vancouver uless it is Celebrini. I would lower expectations. Canadian hockey is going to take a kick to the nuts in the next few years.

    I agree. Montreal is doing pretty good with it’s young players but time will tell if their young stars ask for a trade to less traditional, higher income US market.

    Celebrini/Bedard would be huge for the Vancouver market. They should just be coming out of the rebuild by then.

    I would pump the brakes a little. I like the Kid but he has 6 goals 20 pts in two years. We have signed enough anchor contracts in the past and we don’t need to keep adding to the pile.

    Canadian teams are going to be having a huge disadvantage with the salary cap and the 40% differential in the dollar. Add to that the cost of living. I don’t see a Canadian team having huge success for many year. Elite players wanting to head to the tax free states like Fla Texas.
    Buium will probably want to move on in five years.
    Our owner is one of the cheapest fuckers in sports and as you can see he is not investing a lot of money anywhere.

    Canuck fans should get use to having Swedes on the team and players from BC that care about the Canucks.

    Fuck the Swedes, enough!

    You’d hope this won’t happen, but the way players are entitled these days. Is it only a matter of time before Zeev want’s to play in the USA? Nothing you can do about the new trend, hopefully he turns into a top pair D and if that’s the case trade him for a boatload of assets like they did with Quit Hughes.

    NHL legend and Stanley Cup Champion Ben Hutton may be coming back to the Canucks.

    Does it matter? Add another cheap mentor. They should concentrate on adding more picks to their arsenal.

    Rossi’s gonna score 60 points this year and Petey’s gonna score 80, ruining our chances at a first overall pick because Aquilini will get a massive chub and think the Canucks are ready to compete for the playoff cash.

    Rossi 60 points fair. EP will be an easy player to displace.

    I would hope that the goal for this team would be to accumulate another 1st round pick this season at minimum.

    I hope they do because they traded away their own 2nd to Chicago for the cap dump that was Ilya Mikheyev. So if they finish last, they gave up the 33rd in that trade. Idiots.

    They have the Blue Jackets 2nd which will probably be a mid round. If they dont add another 1st or early 2nd, it’s a pretty big gap between early picks for a rebuilding team…

    The 2027 2nd is actually San Jose’s. Ideally another 1st & 2nd would be ideal, not easy to do especially with rookie management. I heard the potential return for Debrusk for example is underwhelming. It will be tough to add high picks.

    I would say Rossi has a better chance of “staying healthy” than EP40.

    I hope he’s in shape and he starts out hot offensively, if he puts up good numbers by Christmas the Canucks can do the old “pump & dump” that sausage boy loves so much.

    That just sounds disturbing. I would hope that the goal for this team would be to accumulate another 1st round pick this season at minimum.

    Rossi is a halfling and will be traded this season or next. Don’t get too attached to him.

    There is an arguement to made that anyone under 6′ is a subhuman. They can however still contribute as jockeys, midget wrestlers, and circus entertainers.
