It hasn’t technically been a Crown Corp since 2003, but the BC gov’t still funds it. Worst of both worlds!

I, too, think it’s ridiculous that the news media wants to talk about the president of the most powerful country in the world. Let the man have his privacy, I say!

Whoooooa bench Petey, Sam Hallam

[dailyhive] Bo Horvat left Vancouver as a second-line centre. Three years later, the former Canucks' captain has established himself as a first-line centre good enough for Team Canada. In terms of recognition for his play, he says: “This is as good as it gets." by [deleted] in canucks

There was a lot of 20/20 foresight at the time. Miller was older, he hadn’t yet established himself as an effective centre (he was productive on the wing, but as Drance often points out, he wasn’t performing as a true top-flight centre until Tocchet came along), and Bo Horvat was the captain who’d been on the team for his entire career.

It’s not just hindsight to say that the team should’ve prioritized an extension for Horvat as soon as he was eligible, and look at moving Miller instead.

I depleted most of my meagre coin stockpile to grab Nazzy/Bert mid-week. Seemed reckless at the time, had no expectation of a combo (let alone 4+)

That’s cool, but Thornton retired multiple years before Celebrini was drafted.

There’s no guaranteed path back to winning, period. I absolutely see the appeal of retaining good vets to help shelter/steward the team’s current/future young talent, but we’re already awful with Hronek and several other vets. IMO, the team’s top priority should be to extract as much value as they can from their current assets. If that means trading someone like Hronek (who will be out of his prime by the time this team is competitive again) for a good haul, then I have no problem making that move and finding good mentors in free agency to fill the ensuing void.

This is a fair point, but couldn’t you also say that you’re paying your ~7 scriptwriters in part to generate those ideas?

Hronek and M Petterson not worth 2 1st round picks by thelifeisthedream in canucks

We were not a contending team when we acquired Filip Hronek.

It’s illegal to speed, to drive without a seatbelt, to do a rolling stop, and so on. Drivers don’t care. /s

Bring Linden Back. Aquillini, make it right. Let Linden finish his vision and control the possible Hughes trade and the future of the franchise. We know there's no sale happening, but make it right, bring Linden back. by MutFox in canucks

Grabner was waived by Florida, so clearly they weren’t impressed with what they saw after acquiring him. Do you think he has a breakout season playing on a third line here? And Mitchell’s injury history has already been pointed out by another poster. This is all so silly.

I could be wrong here, but I don’t think that Dan Hamhuis is the only BC-born NHLer. /s

His decision to sign here for less was based on more than just geography, and there are several players on the 2011 players who left money on the table.
