Canucks are 1 pt up on Calgary now, and only 4 up on last overall Nashville, and the Preds have 2 in hand. This is the time to "tank", much as I have to swallow hard to say it. If you're gonna be bad, be the worst. Need a high pick, not just top 10, how bout top 5 or dare we say the top one?

Waiting for Medvedev, but he's only 18. Lankinen should not have had a 5 year deal. Silovs should have been kept ahead of Demko.

This is the kind of game that gets coaches, (or even higher?) clipped....Kevin Lankinen never ever should have been given 5 years, and Demko should not have been kept over Silovs...

Well the players would still be trying to win, but the personnel decisions would not be aimed to facilitate that to the max. It's not actually throwing games, it's not icing a lineup to necessarily win them. I don't love it either, but what's going on right now, will not produce playoff success.

Looking at quarter pole or so, rebuild conversations, how bout this. If Canucks are clearly (6-8 points or more) out of a playoff spot at X-mas, it's time for some serious losing. I have no love for tanking, but be dead last this year, Gavin Mckenna or whoever territory. Maybe finally lottery luck.

If so, that would be a shame because for a span of about 5 seasons, J.T. Miller was among the best players in Canuck history.

Noticed something about J.T. Miller's lethargic start as Ranger Captain. Not related to defensive hustle, or lack of it. Couple weeks ago Miller scored a pretty OT goal against Oilers, yet his response was flat. Barely a celly. Wonder if the end here has sapped/drained his enthusiasm for the game.

Abby Canucks don't appear to be on the way to a repeat of their AHL championship with a 3-11-2 record and a -41 goal differential. To be fair, many of their best players last year, have spent some, or a lot of time in Vancouver this season, with the parent club's injury woes.

Quinn Hughes has 10 pts in his last 3 games, and Petey 40 has 8 in his last 4. Canucks are too generous in the GA dept. though.

Canucks are just 4 pts out of the Pacific division lead, but...there are 4 teams between them and first place LA, and everyone above Vancouver, has at least one game in hand. Canucks trail the wildcard bar by 2 pts, current wildcard teams also have games in hand on them.
