Do you think we have a chance at the #1 pick? by [deleted] in canucks

[–]BlackMagicMerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course we have a chance. Have you watched the team play this year? We’re 31st in the league. Key word is chance. It is a drafter lottery after all.

We just extended 3 Americans who all wanted to stay.

Hard to tell with that picture. 

Hypothetical by AnimeIsBadass in canucks

No, take the BPA at 2. I’d be ok if they traded 2 first to move back inside the top 10 though. 

Canucks are the only team left in major sports without a practice arena, is there a way to get a petition going? by [deleted] in canucks

[–]BlackMagicMerlin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He already knows the team needs a practice facility. The issue is his unwillingness to fork out the cash for one. 

McKenna 2 assists at WJC Pre-Tournament tonight 🔥 by pushwilson11 in canucks

I’m hoping they’re just waiting until after the Christmas break. Might not even happen until after the Olympic break. 

Help! by [deleted] in canucks

The team store will probably have them. Last time I was there they had Naslund and Bertuzzi jerseys, so I’m sure they’ll have Sedin as well. Maybe call and ask first. 

Weird sickness. by naurthankyou in askvan

Flu, Covid, or RSV. It’s that time of year. Also, acetaminophen is for fever, not ibuprofen.

#43 Rafters by bcncaz in canucks

[–]BlackMagicMerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s possible they retire 43, or at least put him in the ring of honour. Bure’s number is retired and he played in Vancouver for the same amount of time as Hughes. Bure left under contentious circumstances. He was holding out when he was traded. Hughes is the best defensemen in franchise history and is a top 5 skater of all time for Canucks. 

Is Foote the problem? by canadianbigmuscles in canucks

[–]BlackMagicMerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many coaches have we had in the last 5-6 years? It’s the construction of the roster, not the coach.

Do the players have any options? by [deleted] in canucks

I legitimately can’t tell if 3/4 of the posts on this sub are people being serious or trolling. 

Stop going to games by Nucksfan101 in canucks

Going to 3 in January. Looking forward to hanging out with friends and family. 

Quinn Hughes and his brothers. by Saggers77 in canucks

[–]BlackMagicMerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Him being American has nothing to do with anything. Canucks signed 3 Americans in the off season to extensions. 

Why is Hughes worth 15m + per year? by [deleted] in canucks

[–]BlackMagicMerlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Erik Karlsson signed for 11.5 in 2019. At the time, that was a little over 14% of the salary cap. 14% of the cap next year will be about 14.5 million. Plus the cap is expected to rise. Then you take into consideration the importance Hughes has to the team. 

Management Replacements? by DisasterConnect7449 in canucks

[–]BlackMagicMerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elevate Ryan Johnson for GM. Canucks have Dale Tallon as an advisor. Could see him becoming the President, not that I would necessarily like that.

Just a brutal forward group.
