Tank Fails

This is getting real. And I must say I’m getting a little excited. Very deep draft and the top end is fantastic.

Amazing draft even into the 2nd and 3rd round... which is why I'm concerned it doesn't sound like the Canucks care about extra picks in the slightest.

Horvat, Kuzmenko and Schenn should all be moved. If they net you 2 more firsts and a second round pick a great place to start a rebuild is with 5 picks in the top two rounds in the deepest draft in over a decade...

Agreed with the caveat that if Wright or Byfield truly are on the table then you have to get one in the Horvat deal.

Sure but those are exceptions.

One thing that actually DOES intrigue me is the potential of the Canucks getting an extra 1st to go after Dimitri Simashev now that Gonachar is around.

Hold your horses: the Canucks might go on a 3 game win-streak, get within 11 points of the playoffs, and then all bets are off. A Horvat trade might have to be shelved in a desperate attempt to make the playoffs.

Could be. I wouldn't put it past this GM group to make no changes at all.

As my three year old son told me once many years ago, “I don’t want to hold my horses. I want to hold my pigs.” About as random as hope for the playoffs…

 

[Canucks LB]

Trade 7th overall pick to Dump OEL, Boeser and Garland!
Can you imagine? lol

 

[December5th]

try and trade petterson for the first overall

This team is blessed but managerial incompetence, another accidental tank FTW

 

[M2Beezy]

Just to hammer this home a bit.

14 of their remaning games are against teams that are 23rd or lower in the standings.

3 against Chicago, 3 Anaheim
2 against Arizona & Detroit
1 against Columbus, Ottawa, SJ & Philly each.

So basically they are 4 point games...

 

[Donuts]

Bottom 4-5 by trade deadline

 

[Killer Orcas]

Trade Horvat, Boeser, Garland, Schenn and sit Demko an extra month to make sure he's "healthy". Play OEL and Myers in every situation possible and we have a chance of getting a top 3 pick.

Agreed. Stillman also needs at least 25 minutes a night to know what we have with him...

They say we have a very easy schedule the rest of the season. But all that means is we get to play against our tanking competitors a lot. So if we lose those games, it’s actually much more valuable than losing to the good teams.

Hopefully Horvat, Schenn, and Kuzmenko are outta here asap so we can put our worst foot forward in these crucial matchups.

Come on Yotes! You owe us.

WE ARE ALL CLAYTON KELLER

 

[PuckMunchkin]

You can do this for every team in the bottom 10 . They all face these teams 9-14 times. The Canucks are one of these teams. No games will be easy especially with Horvat/Schenn gone. The team is headed towards a top 7 pick. They can go .500 the rest of the way and will still pick top 10.

Neat.

This team is blessed but managerial incompetence, another accidental tank FTW

In the olden days this was called being a really bad team with no plan.

 

[DFAC]

HUGE win by Arizona tonight

Now 2 pts ahead of 5th last (SJ), 4 ahead of 4th last (ARI)

LETS GO... bottom 4 is within reach lets go

Johnny needs to show up tonight and stick it to the Flames.

 

[Peen]

26th by p% over the past ten seasons.

[Just A Bit Outside]

CBJ with atleast a point.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

f***ing refs handing the Flames a win.
