[Speculation] Canucks exploring Tyler Myers trade
flat land fish replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Given the players unique abilities need a trade partner from outside the division… -
[PTO] Olli Juolevi with Coyotes
flat land fish replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Coyotes depth is very weak I saw one chart with stetcher in their top 4. Atleast he’s picking opportunities where he could feasibly play. It would also be really easy to go back to Europe so respect the desire to keep on going. -
Lekkerimaki would be a handy Boeser replacement when he hits ufa and on a ELC to boot
-
I think there’s some situations you might want Hughes and Hronek out together for but given both of their abilities to drive play got to think most of their 5 on 5 play they will be anchoring pairings of their own.
-
I like the idea of rotating guys out if we aren’t getting results and certainly if we are loosing possession any time after the first minute PP2 should be hitting the ice. Petey Miller and Hughes are 3 of the best power play guys in the league so definitely want the puck on their stick as much as we can.

[Report] Canucks name Quinn Hughes as captain
flat land fish replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Hughes is really well spoken and has such a confident but relaxed way of communicating. Good to have a dman as Captain as well. -
Nothing wrong with guys showing up to camp like that!

[Signing] Senators re-sign Jake Sanderson
flat land fish replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think Ottawa has gone bold on these contracts as they have usually struggled keeping players when they get to UFA. This way they are buying the players best ufa years but making this type of bet so often there will likely be a few that don’t click. -
That rating is baloney we will have demko at full strength and good reason to believe our dcorps will be better. If the pk is atleast 80% we are a playoff team

Gotta like the self confidence

When does the SHL regular season start?

[PTO] Alex Chiasson with Bruins
flat land fish replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Got to love the passion for the game. Almost needs to be in the conversation for a masterson trophy. -
Some interesting thoughts, I think we will see more players from non traditional markets make it. Since the sport started access to development and coaching would have limited many but now with access to online tools you can have access to more tools if the desire is there. Your points on Canada’s diminished grassroots side is very relevant. I will say the current group of minor players stands to be the most skilled rec players ever.

I think with Willander in the system the team will just pick the best 7-8 dmen that help the team win on opening night. We had one of the worst d corps in the league last year I don’t think our depth is at a big risk of being claimed off waivers. Rathbone is depth for Hughes or Hronek maybe the puck mover on pair 3. Briesbois or Irwin will fill in for the shutdown guys when injuries arise.

[PTO] Brandon Sutter with Oilers
flat land fish replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Hopefully he can play in the NHL again and go out on his own terms. -
I’m not sure how I missed that he’s only played d for two years, the repetitions needed for decision making could be the biggest development piece for this player. The offensive skill set could be a huge plus if the two way game connects as hoped.

[Signing] Canes re-sign Aho 9.75x8
flat land fish replied to MeanSeanBean's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Aho is a pretty much as top flight a two way centre as you are going to find. Really smart player who plays winning hockey ie doesn’t cheat for offence. Doesn’t pull you out of your seat the way Petey does. Tough to make an argument that this is a good comparable maybe 5/10% more dough for Petey if he signs this off season. -
Virtanen was a waste of tremendous talent, lots of athleticism and skill but for a variety of reasons lacked what was needed to be a long term NHLer. You can’t teach scoring is very true you are either a scorer and embrace being relied on for that. Some guys can’t handle the pressure of being “the guy”
