  1. This was such a great place to vent after our continuing heartbreak. I guess I’m back to screaming in my pillow.
  2. I like Ian Cole as the best short term fit. Over 19 minutes last season. 1-2 year deal to play the left 2nd pair next to Hronek. PK. Already 34 years of age so how many affective years left?
  3. What’s wrong with Aram Minnetian?
  4. Based on the playoffs and last year’s draft I see smaller skilled wingers dropping in the draft this year. Size and strength is being viewed as an asset come playoff time. Players like Lekkermaki and Kermell were ranked in the top 10 dropped to the mid-teens last year. Teams also seem to value Defenseman and Centres over perceived skill BPA. I could see Wood, Barlow, But and Honzek going before Benson and Cristall. Simashev maybe picked higher than expected. Before ASP? GM’s are seeing guys like Mitch Marner tear up the league during the season and completely go MIA in the playoffs. This draft will be interesting after the top 5 players go. I don’t see Michkov getting past 5th though. Him and Berard are undersized but special talents. It’s the next undersized skill tier that will drop.
  5. I’m definitely a fan of Wood over Barlow in our range on Bob’s list. I watched Barlow really closely at the u18 and the thing that surprised me the most was he lost a lot of the puck battles he engaged in with smaller players. I get the feeling he’s an early development guy with a heavy shot. Maybe Patrick Maroon comparable? Barlow is trending down and Wood is trending up.
  6. Now I understand why the return was so underwhelming for a top 10 pick. Again nothing but zeros on his stat line. Early days but I’m not holding my breath.
  7. I’ve definitely come around on Braden Yager. He could definitely be our future 2 line centre as I see Raty as a future 3rd line centre. Yager is defensively responsible and should provide decent offensive at the NHL level hopefully as a 60-70 point player. Bob McKenzies list has him at #7.
  8. Looks like he has been benched against Finland.
  9. What would be the Canucks move if Horvat gets injured? Very Limited! Lose him for nothing or sign him and move Garland, Boeser or Miller for little to no return. I personally don’t see this regime losing him for nothing. I see one or more of those other 3 players moved for a very underwhelming return. Cap management…. Some teams have it and some teams don’t.
  10. Unfortunately this is the wrong time in the NHL to trade a player with term and $. A low cap has caused cap space to more valuable than good players? Just look at what Vegas got to dump Pacioretty. In 2-3 years good players value will be back up with the cap. Classic Canucks that we will have to dump good players without getting good assets back. Timing never seems right for this franchise.
