Welll if it’s any consolation, Rasmus Anderson was picked with Vancouvers 2nd rounder. Maybe Benning and his scouts weren’t the draft gurus Nucker claimed them to be.

I doubt Van even picks Anderson so not concerned

I think most people have just realized that this core isn't good enough to be a contender. Blame the coaches, role players, etc, but it won't matter.

When no matter how many support pieces you try and you end up with the same results.

Defence by far the biggest issue. Giving up continuous 1st round picks for forwards and never picking defenders.

Biggest decision is yet to come who to trade away and who to keep. Probably decides a 5 year or 10 year re-tool on the fly.

Did you ever apologize to the people, for your horrendous evaluation of this player?

I have never seen anyone get so giddy over such a player like him.

we can't have nice things

Don’t we have three HHOF’ers going into the hall shortly?

Why couldn't they have just won game 7. Things would have been much simpler.

Yup, I'd add 2nd round picks to that. Yes, you may only hit one one out of every 3 or 4 of them, but just hitting on one of those and getting a legit top 4 homegrown dmen would be huge for this team right now

They were to busy winning personal trophies.

Torts AV and Bruce have had the same results with this team so yeah.
- VANTEL

Torts and AV never coached this current Canucks team... AV also made SCF so he had different results entirely.

You also need to keep those 3 or 4 in order to hit the one. We traded 2 or 3 of them away.

Picking them is one thing, developing them is something else.

Trotz has a summer residence in Vernon, you never know.

We’re not an original 6 team which is what he mentioned.

Any gunfire yet?

It's kind of redundant as they're already in The Ring of Honour.

Maybe in the East, still too light here in the southwest.

I love Hunter S Thompson, this is him and his neighbour shooting at each other.
