Wolanin, PDG, or the other depth we just signed. and before you say, you mean better than that, I would ask who they would have a chance at signing... we had what two UFA's both traded, and he signed for way more than anyone here wanted to sign him for. Like who has other teams signed? It is the stupidest point being made mid season.

Free agents?

Not returning players.
Wait for this off season, as the word spreads about the medical staff.
Guys signed in the last off season, before the medical staff was swapped out, would not count towards the total of free agents signed since we announced, and saw the work of the new medical staff.
Shouldn't have to get quite this specific, but if this is how it goes,

watch your punctuation in future posts.

Irony...

Its a message board who checks it for grammar?

Anyway... what teams have signed FA in the time frame you gave? None because its the season... and of players that had could pick any team in the NHL to sign with the Canucks have signed a bunch of them. Your point is not only wrong... but bad.

I ran the tankathon draft simulator and it took 33 times before we even got into the top 3. I can't imagine how Benning spent an entire night in the Juolevi draft year. He even said himself that it took two hours before he got into the top 3 and that was when we had much better odds.

Imagining the GM of an NHL franchise running the draft simulator for insight is truly comical.

This person was the GM of our team for 8 years:

A couple nights ago, I spun the wheel for two hours and I don't think we picked in the top three once, so I was kinda put off...so the next day, I woke up and did it ten times, and we picked #1 three times out of ten, so that gave me more hope

Canucks GM played with draft lottery simulator for hours

April 30 apparently can't come soon enough for Jim Benning.The Vancouver Canucks general manager admitted Thursday that he recently sat at his computer for hours running an NHL draft lottery simulator in hopes the virtual pingpong balls would come up in the club's favor. Benning: A couple nghts...

Looking good at least for the Sens and the Sabres. 4 points back of those teams with a few tough games left for us. Feeling hopeful for the Blues, but the Caps and Wings are looking bad.

It’s going better than expected this week honestly, a lot of the teams around us won, and we are slowing down a little bit.

Looks pretty likely we’re gonna pick in the 10th spot, right outside my top 8/9.

Hope for a Faller

Do you actually believe that? Probably took you 2 minytes to run it 33 times. You could click your mouse 10,000 times in two hours. Not hitting your % before that is laughable. It's just an exaggeration to explain a longshot.

have your run the simulator? I could see getting maybe 1000 results, which is about one every 10 seconds. but do not disagree with what you are saying. I can't believe that a GM could run a simulator and think that it means a GDT.

Its pitiful that people run the simulator and think that the results in any way change the odds. Its like the dumb people who analyze the numbers that have shown up in the lottery. Like it changes anything. But then people are dumb enough to believe astrology scientology and mormonism. Sigh ...

Oh, interesting story, I got served legal papers from scientology a little over 30 years over a public tv show I did about them.

how the f*** is this team at .500 right now????...fans should just throw toy tanks on the ice.
 
Today’s game is critical for the tank. We still have a shot at #8 which would get us a pretty good player I’d think?

I can believe it. I can see Benning sitting in his basement with his IBM running Windows 95 and AOL dialup and clicking his trackball mouse once before the simulator crashes and he has to reboot his computer.

Really, the Canucks most realistic best result is to remain right where they are and end up with the 8th pick. Flyers do face the Blues, Blue Jackets, and Blackhawks to end the season but also the Bruins, Islanders, and Stars. Small chance they pass the Canucks.
