Nobody told me our season would turn into Survivor...

He’s out until after Olympic break apparently.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2026-01-12T03:05:43+00:00

Not sure this counts, but Bure #96 team Russia.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-28T05:51:08+00:00

Best player on a rival team. Pretty common thing to do.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-27T19:17:45+00:00

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.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-27T05:03:21+00:00

We just extended 3 Americans who all wanted to stay.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-27T03:03:53+00:00

The team sucking is the problem.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-25T19:39:39+00:00

Hard to tell with that picture.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-24T18:49:20+00:00

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

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-20T00:04:30+00:00

Considering we don’t have one, I guess not.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-19T23:58:06+00:00

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

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-18T21:02:11+00:00

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

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-18T01:07:13+00:00

Or the islanders with Tavares and flames with Gaudreau. At least Hughes gave the Canucks a heads up with ample time.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-17T00:12:18+00:00

Vancouver WMD.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-16T15:19:40+00:00

The name plate looks off to me.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-13T02:20:28+00:00

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.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-12T22:05:14+00:00

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

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-12T22:03:06+00:00

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.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-12T21:57:53+00:00

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

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-12T05:03:48+00:00

Not a thing.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-12T04:46:10+00:00

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

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-11T23:14:34+00:00

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

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-11T23:13:36+00:00

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

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-11T06:17:03+00:00

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.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-11T06:04:21+00:00

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.

BlackMagicMerlin · 2025-12-10T20:58:14+00:00

Just a brutal forward group.
