  1. Nope. I think, both, Boeser and Garland are going to have much better seasons this year.
  2. If RT puts him in a low risk position to start, say fourth line right wing, where he can concentrate on a simple, mistake free game, while still honing his skills; I think he could flourish and slowly work his way up to third line minutes. He's got the skills to be an effective forechecking, high energy, power forward with, possibly, slightly higher then average scoring ability. If he meets his potential, I can a reliable 40-50 pnt player here. Third line center would be ideal.
  3. Danila Klimovich is on the opening night roster.
  4. I'm more interested in seeing Beau in a full season with this team.
  5. Kuzmenko Petey Mikheyev Beauvillier Miller Boeser Joshua Blueger Garland Podkolzin Aman Klimovich Di Giuseppi Hughes Cole Soucy Hronek Wolanin Myers Brisebois Demko Silovs I have a lot of boldness in my line-up but the boldest is Klimovich. In his second AHL season, he really upped his game and looks to be, at least, a bottom six shut-down player with offensive up-side and could move up in the line-up. I believe he'll, at least be one of the last cuts, if he needs more development but, I see him, getting to start the season with the team with a real chance to stick. In a limited role, Podkolzin can be an effective player. To this point in his development, top six may be out of reach but, with more time, he should be a third line player in his prime. For now, however, he gets a fourth line spot. Imo, the biggest question mark is second line RW. If Boeser ", stumbles out of the gate," look for Garland to move up. If both falter, we're in trouble, given their salaries, market value and our lack of cap-space. Silovs, imo, is our second best goalie and should be in the second position where he can get 20-25 starts and continue his development. This team still has a ways to go before it can be considered a true contender but, this also provides opportunity for players like Klimovich, Podkolzin, and others, not in the line-up, to step up and showcase themselves. With the additions of Cole and Soucy, comes greater defensive capability and physicality; two aspects this team, sorely, lacked in. We should see a better penalty kill and a significant reduction in goals against. I believe next season will bring back playoff hockey to BC.
  6. Too early for this topic. Ask again around Christmas.
  7. While I don't really see this as missed opportunity, I do see issues with their branding strategy, if they even have one. Looking at "The Core 4" sports in North America, it's not hard to find the biggest brand names. Boston Celtic, LA Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors, any of the original 6 hockey teams, LA Kings, New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers,New York Yankees, LA Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and to a slight lesser extent, the Toronto Blue Jays. All these teams have relevance in more then just their respective markets. This is because they've created a look, they've created winning cultures, and history's. For whatever reason, Canuck ownership and management have always missed the boat, when it comes to their brand. They've ever created a winner and, by extension a culture they've never had a look that people will buy into. Imo, until these issues change, The Canucks will always be that irrelevant team in the far corner of the map no one, except locals will care about.
  8. Well, Willander wasn't my top want (they went 5th and sixth) and I am still not happy with this whole, pro-Swede movement PA has going on but, sounds like Willander really wanted to be here. Gotta love that. He sounds like a really driven player.
  9. We're right there with the second coming of Christ and hell freezing over.
  10. There's little doubt we could use a gritty player like Lucic but, he's past his prime and the only reason he'd come here is because no one else wanted him and that's no reason at all (for us that is)
  11. My opinion is that 2021-2022 Garland is the real Conor Garland and that, if, a trade is made, it's a hockey deal and not a cap dump. Garland, on his own merit, has value. So much so, that I'm more for keeping him then dealing him. Hoglander, on the other hand, I wouldn't be too broke up about. I am, also not into dropping another first rounder, even if it's dropping to another position. Teams I think could use Garland: New York Rangers Minnesota Wild Pittsburg Penguins Buffalo Sabres And yes, The Columbus Bluejackets ( but not in the proposed deal)
