    One thing the Moose had on their roster was a proven competitor and veteran in Mike Keane, who was a great example for the kids on what it takes to be be a long time NHLer. Does Abby have anyone like that? I wonder if Irwin could be that guy?

    Jack is the forgotten forward of our group now. He is going to have to reeeeeally impress at training camp if he hopes to stick with the club.
  3. NorthWestNuck
    Donald Brashier (sp?) too.

    No way PDG ends up on the second line. I know he was used there down the stretch, but that was with Mik out of the line up. PDG will probably be on the fourth line with Aman and Joshua or else the 13th forward. Hirose could steal that third line LD spot, but the fact that he doesn’t have to clear waivers may mean he starts on the farm team. I think Irwin, Brisebois, and Rathbone fight for the spot.

    Kuz - Petey - Beau Mik - Miller - Boeser Pearson - Bluger - Podz PDG - Aman - Joshua Dries Hughes - Cole Soucy - Hronek Brisebois - Myers Wolanin - Woo Demko Martin Garland moved. If Boes/Beau get moved instead, then Podz moves up to replace and Garland fills in on third line.

    It wasn’t management or Ian Cole. It was the fans who can’t let go after 15 years. Now I loved Luc as much as the next fan, but if the number ain’t retired, eventually someone else is going to wear it. Why not Ian? Otherwise retire it officially. This “it’s not retired but it is” is stupid.
  7. NorthWestNuck
    Funny, I feel the opposite. I think Soucy will surprise some fans. I think Soucy was underutilizing last year and I was impressed with him the most of any Kraken defender whenever they played us. That being said, I am expecting the reality to be somewhere in the middle, where no fan is happy or right. That’s our sweet spot. Lol

    Depending on how much better we would have been, I don’t think we get Petey in that scenario. Both Rangers and Red Wings were rumoured to be picking Pettersson with their pick. But if Nylander and Marcus only drop our drafting slot by a pick or two, then I agree with you.
  9. NorthWestNuck
    I agree. I also felt he was Seattle’s most noticeable defender for positive reasons when we played them. I look forward to what he can do in Vancouver.
  10. NorthWestNuck
    Same reason we have a cap in place. To ensure that the same top 6 teams don’t win basically every year by being able to throw money at the best players and best prospects. I get what you’re saying though…
  11. NorthWestNuck
    I think we’ll sign Juulsen even if the plan isn’t to have him in the top league. He’s a good, hard working, Abbotsford boy who can move up and down. I also don’t think we need to be worried about him getting claimed off waivers.
  12. NorthWestNuck
    I still always wanted to see Myers get a chance as a net front presence on the PP. Not saying it would have worked, just would have been interesting to see when things looked stagnant.
  13. NorthWestNuck
    I don’t believe money can be included in the trade anymore.
  14. NorthWestNuck
    Could we do something around Glass and Johansen for Miller+? I’d be down for that…
  15. NorthWestNuck
    Kuz - Petey - Beau McD - Miller - Boeser I liked the energy and his play in his few games, I’d like to see Aiden get a chance with Boes and Miller. Third line would by Podz, Ilya, with a 3C. Garland gone in trade. Probably won’t happen, but what I’d like to see…
  16. NorthWestNuck
    Not so sure. For what we need on that third LD, I don’t think Wolly fits as much as others. Honestly I’d put Brisebois in that third pairing over Wolanin. It’s also why Rathbone is having such a hard time cracking that spot.
  17. NorthWestNuck
    From the hockeynews.com. If Rangers offer this PA laughs all the way to the bank. (Mock trade for reference)
  18. NorthWestNuck
    I’d still hold Boeser over Garland myself, but either way Myers and one of Garland/Boeser has to be moved this offseason. I’d like to see us try: Kuz-Petey-Beau AidenMc-Miller-Boeser Mik-???(Raty?)-Podz PDG-Aman-Joshua
  19. NorthWestNuck
    Took 19 tries…

    I think this is the only way to stomache a OEL buyout, is if you have two league min players playing that 2/3LD that you are comfortable with. If Hirose can take that 2LD spot, then great. Otherwise I think OEL stays. And just my opinion but I think Brisebois earns 3LD over Wolanin. Hughes OEL/Hirose Hirose/Brisebois Brisebois/Wolanin/Rathbone. Woo on the right would be awesome. I’d love to see him get in some games at the NHL level, want to hear those “WOOOO”s from the fans!
  21. NorthWestNuck
    True, but cap hits are slightly less of an obstacle during the off season. All teams have salary coming off the books and haven’t usually decided exactly how they’re going to spend it yet, so they’re a little more flexible.
  22. NorthWestNuck
    I hear you, but the fact is geography does play a role in Rivalries. Seattle and Van will have a rivalry if for no other reason than to be known as the best of the North-west. But I agree, it will get there organically. No need for media trying to make something up for narrative sake.
  23. NorthWestNuck
    I’d like to see McDonough with Miller and Boeser for a couple games. Put Beau back on top line too… kuz - petey - beau mcD - Miller - Boeser PDG - Dries - Garland Studnicka - Aman - Joshua
  24. NorthWestNuck
    I agree. And he’s shown some chemistry with both Petey and Miller. Personally I’d look at moving Garland over Boeser. Longer contract, and doesn’t seem to gel with anyone. He’s good along the boards, but then tends to fire shots at the net from bad angles that don’t surprise any goalies anymore.
  25. NorthWestNuck
    Interesting that Breezer got a one way deal for his second year, but Wolanin didn’t. Does anyone think Breezer has surpassed Wolanin on the depth chart? Or am I over thinking this?
