Or trades for Ladd, signs Ladd, misses playoffs. Ladd announces he was going to sign here as a UFA anyway.

If we trade our 1st rounder this season I'm done (unless its a ridiculous fleecing but I'm more hopeful on winning the next powerball).

I love how we just make up hypothetically scenarios that would never happen and then get made at the non-hypothetical people for hypothetically doing them.

You can't think of a single hypothetical scenario where we trade our first? Maybe you just need a better imagination.

I completely agree. If we get anything of value back, it will only add to their legacies. Hopefully we do move the Sedins, once they become UFA eligible.

I am hoping that the Canucks go full tank obviously. Here is my dream scenario.
I think they should try to move Miller, the same as they moved Luongo, and left the net to Lack in the Virtanen draft year.
We need to get some value out of Miller and this could be the time.
Moving Hamhuis and Vrbata are must moves, and we should also move Bartkowski, Cracknell and Vey. If we can get anything for Higgins, Prust or Weber, we should move them too.
We have Pedan and Subban who need to see more NHL ice. McCann sitting is just a waste of his development, and I feel he has way higher upside than Linden Vey.
I am hoping for draft picks in return for players. I am not seeing a cup window in the Sutter and older range. Just a whole lot of fail for about three years once the Sedins are gone. We need to build from the ground up, and draft a Center and a Dman in the top 3 of the draft.

This. Lets reserve our anger towards management for the actual stupid decisions that have been made, not the ones that might be made.

I am still very angry at trader Jim. His bad trades and signings have crippled this team.
However, hopefully he is learning to stop bleeding draft picks, and signing guys to inflated deals.

Bad trades.....
I'm just curious does Sutter and Bae count as bad trades in your opinion?

We'd at least have more cap space going into the offseason by letting Bonino walk. We'd also still have Anaheim's 2nd round pick.

No the worst trades were basically, Garrison for Vey, and Kassian and a 5th, for Prust.
The jury is still out on the Sutter and Bae deals, but they could work out.

According to TheScore Benning and Co will wait till Feb 20/21 to make a decision on whether or not we are buyers or sellers at the deadline. This makes me boil with rage. We are clearly not a playoff team. Our 3 games in hand on Colorado is giving our asinine manager some stupid notion that we may be able to make the playoffs.

I am praying that it is just posturing to raise the value of his players. The longer you wait, the more you get in return.
If the Canucks decide to be buyers at this deadline, I can only hope fans decide to boycott the team. I don't know of a better suggestion, but if there is one I would be happy to hear it.
I know I am willing to pay and support a team that is losing now to win later. 45 years of no cups is pathetic.

Sadly there are still people who think if you get into the playoffs that anything can happen. And others who think 4 games of playoff experience is valuable for the kids (even though I bet you guys like McCann and Virtanen will likely be scratched anyway).

Lol Clendening, you j just undermined your argument.
I'll take a 1st, and better Canucks picks (ie a top 15 pick in 2015, a top 5 pick in 2016) and $4.5m extra in July 2016. Who knows I might even sign Sutter with that $4.5m..........

Cap space for who? A quality 3rd line center to take some pressure off of Horvat to allow him develop properly? That would be nice.
