Canucks fire Nonis. The Score sports network up here in Canada is reporting that the Canucks have fired GM Dave Nonis. My only question is, what took so long?
Canucks Lose Morrison For Season During the game against Colorado, Canucks Center Brendan Morrison tore his right ACL. He is expected to miss the rest of the regular season and all of the playoffs.
Morrison is a UFA in the summer, so there is a chance that he has played his last game as a Canuck.
Luongo to leave Canucks to be with his wife. Luongo's wife has been having what is being described as a 'difficult' pregnancy. I'm sure it has weighed in on his mind and I wish him and his wife the best luck. Now, the question that remains is what effect this will have on the Vancouver Canucks and their playoff hopes?
Luongo's wife Gina is due to give birth to the couple's first child the first week of April when the Canucks play their last four games of the season.
By all means it's the right move to do, but what does this mean for the Canucks? Do they have the depth, heart, determination, but most importantly the goaltending to pull through and make the playoffs?
What hockey moves should the Canucks make? With the trade deadline quickly approaching rumors are at a season high. But with Dave Nonis already stating he would NOT be trading away the Canucks future for rental players, what moves will he be making?
Why the Canucks should think about being sellers everyone is concerned about the year at hand... but the Vancouver Canucks have so much promise for next year its discusting they have a good core group and with guys like Naslund and Morrison who are going to have to take a pay cut to stick around it looks all the more promising.. picture the Canucks with 3 extra scoring forwards next season... this is a possible reality but there are many factors that lead up to this... Dave Nonis has a choice he can sell the farm to pick up a player to go for a cup run against very low odds... he can sit on what he has do nothing maybe make the playoffs.... or he can sell.. if he sells he gives himself a possible young talent that can help this club in the future and he also probably picks up trade bait for next years deadline in draft picks.
What's happening to the Canucks?! West playoff race tight! The Canucks now officially have the worst record in the last 10 games, going 2-7-1, which has pushed them out of the playoffs for the first time since October. Only St. Louis and Florida, having gone 3-5-2 and Atlanta 3-4-3 are close to as bad. This is not a good time to be going on a losing streak for the Canucks.
What can they do, if anything, to get back on form? Trade for Sundin now? Give up their future for a chance to make the playoffs? Or scuttle the season?
