Now imagine if we still had the Horvat first rounder and possibly having both these players.
I still believe we’d be further ahead in three years going the draft route than we’ll be doing what we’re doing now.
Agreed. Would rather just build through the draft than the constant 'retooling' we have seen for the last decade.

It is a good contract. It's as simple as that. He's a great goaltender who, if given a better defensive structure in front of him and a couple of upgrades in the defense corps, should be vying for the Vezina annually. Demko came in 7th in Vezina voting in 2020-2021.
Gibson has never won the Vezina, neither have Markstrom, Grubauer or Ullmark. None of them have won a Cup either.
Frankly, out of the 15 that feature above Demko, the majority have the benefit of a far superior defense than anything the Canucks have iced in a decade.
In Demko's best year he was 7th in voting... got it. "If" he plays better he "should" be vying for the Vezina... yet he hasn't. I'm not saying that he isn't a good goaltender, because he is, but this is a good example of over inflating his worth. Is he better than Markstrom? No. Com' on.

I'm glad that the inane idea of trading Demko was quashed.
With that said, the people that keep reiterating that he's 'on a great contract', haven't really looked at the goalie contracts these days. He's being paid for what he is at the moment until he wins a Vezina or a Cup. Most goalies getting paid more than him have either been in Vezina contention or won a cup.

In fairness CDC lost their collective shit losing Corrado, MacEwen and Gadjovich respectively and even if you combined their stats since they left they wouldn't even muster up a well below mediocre career. So I don't think CDC is an accurate judgement of player movement to be fair.
Whether or not a prospect amounts to anything in the end is irrelevant to people caring about losing them - which was the point being made. Nobody is claiming that CDC is collectively accurate when it comes to anything other than sentiment.

Thanks to BM for finding this:
"Every year since they last made the playoffs in a complete 82-game season:
2015-16: 7-12-1
2016-17: 4-14-2
2017-18: 7-9-4
2018-19: 9-8-3
2019-20: 9-9-2 (made playoffs)
2020-21: 7-12-1
2021-22: 10-5-5
2022-23: 13-6-1 (last 20 games until tonight. As of 29 March 2023. )
Nothing special outside of the last two years."
Outside the last two seasons the Canucks have not "always" turned on the jets in the last 20 games of the season. So 3 out of 8 years the Canucks have had a winning record. Or 3 out of 8 and one season barely over .500 depending how you view OT losses. And they basically backed into the playoffs.
So can we put to bed this myth the team always wins when the pressure is off?
With that said, I think anything outside of 1-14-5 would be considered a failed end of season tank. Even 7-9-4 is 18 points more than what we would of hope for in terms of a successful tank.

I don't recall a single person being overly concerned about that deal.
Then I would suggest that you weren't really paying attention when it happened tbf.

Well no sh*t. If things work out differently you have different opinions. Doesn't change the fact I don't like giving up players with high potential for shortcuts that fail more than just developing those players ourselves. We trade Forsling for Clendening. It was a shortcut move and it was ass then it is even more ass now. I also didn't really like giving up Myrenberg. I'd rather see players we draft fail with us rather than trading for someones older already failed player and risk those players succeeding on another team. It makes no sense to me. Myrenberg may fail, I am still not a fan of trading him. DiPietro is whatever, although I also kinda would have preferred keeping him too.
Trading these youngsters for proven commodities is a different animal. Studnicka and Clendening or whatever the F his name was are not proven commodities. They are attempts at shortcutting development. So again, I hated that Forsling trade the moment it was made. This isn't some hindsight goggles thing. I got flamed at the time the trade was made that it was bad.
I agree with what you are saying. I wasn't a fan of the trade when it was made either - particularly when I saw Clendening play for the first time and could see his inability to skate well. Trade was bad then, bad now.

Way to go. When you are shown to be wrong, you just double down. Canada is a constitutional monarchy with the Queen or King the head of state. This is true no matter how much you want to believe it isn't.
Yup. Technically, the Monarch can overthrow our own decisions at any point. They just know better to do so...

Best player on the team. 7x8. Smart. Puts a ceiling for future contracts. I like it.

If he does work out though... that will be some speed with McDavid and V.

I mean, if we were on the run, and didn’t have all these postponed games, then I think there was a chance that we could have done well on that five road swing against some of the best teams in the league.
Now? With all of this. I can’t see the team doing very well, especially if we’re entering into that five game road trip, ice cold.
Ice cold? Or, rested and fresh?

Definitely a passenger on that line.
That was my thought when I saw highlights of his goals. Game plan: Let Couture do the work and get open.

That's exactly it. There was never any accountability under Green. The players who played bad continued to get their minutes, for the most part. And Green didn't really adapt to the lineup. Whenever you see a timeout, sure, assistant coaches chime in as well. Have we EVER seen Green use his timeout to talk to his players? He just assumes that he has the game all ready to go at the beginning. No line adjustments/matchups. No changes to the fact that their second periods tend to be their weakest. No changes to the style of play, even though it was so obviously ineffective.
Coach Green outcoached himself.
His erroneous use of time outs was quite apparent. There are countless times I remember where everybody watching believed the team obviously needed a time out to regroup but got none. Then... guess what... the team didn't regroup and would lose the game.

Due to the advent of social media. The average person isn't really very discerning in their search for the truth anymore. If something confirms what they already feel (rather than know), they go with it. Hell, quite a few "fact-checking" websites, if you dig deep enough into them, are biased.
The truth is out there, but finding it is near impossible.
News in general is no longer news. It's entertainment. It's the tiktok twitter age. 5 seconds or less.

Arizona has 50 goals for and 104 goals against as a team. They have little to no NHL level talent. Chychrun plays a bit less than half of every game. Him having lowered point totals and a terrible plus minus is kind of expected with his workload on that team.
You should watch him play. He can play shutdown 5 on 5, plays 2+ min per game on both the pp and pk, hits, blocks, and basically does it all.
I would take him at 4.6 mil over OEL at 7 plus 100 times out of 100.
But can we trade the equivalent of LE in order obtain him?... I would definitely take JC over OEL (just like Arizona did), but the cost is too high from what I am hearing. If it takes a young 1st line player or our first, I would rather keep those assets to be honest.

LW 258 90 81 171 50. Elias Pettersson C 195 71 97 168 51. Andrew Cassels C 198 40 128 168 Pettersson works his way into the top 50 in all-time Canuck scoring with his goal tonight.
Whoa Cassels just about on par with our Golden Boy for ppg.

It has to do more with Coyotes going full blight for wright than Chychrun himself.
They brought in tank commander Loui for that reason.
Last year he was 10th in Norris voting for a good reason. Judging him off this year alone when his team is garbage is like judging Hughes off last year alone when we were garbage.

And Chyc is a legit number 1 dman, and very young and getting better.
I like Boeser, but you gotta pay to get, and JC is worth the price tag
JC needs to do more than have 1 good season to be considered a legit #1 D and worth that much. Boeser > JC Let alone Boeser AND a 1st for JC. Yesh.

Halak let in 3 stoppable goals, although was clutch in the third. Not worthy of a star though. I'd give third star to Petey. He had a great game.
1. Horvat
2. Hughes
3. Myers
