  1. Here is my line up with a few moves a Tampa trade and a cap dump to Ottawa, see in the GMing section. Miller Pettersson Boeser Person Horvat Johnson Roussel Gaudette Virtanen Motte Beagle Sutter MacEwen Hughes Cernak Edler Schmidt Juolevi Myers Brisebois Benn Demko Holtby
  2. Move Gaudette ? Gaudette has gotten better each year offensively and defensively give him one more year to develope he wil be a plus player 35 to 45 points this year.
  3. New Jersey says no and we we give up away to much for what we get. Having said that you would be better making a deal directly to TB for Cernak Lets say take on Tyler Johnson plus Cernak for Rafferty. Then open some cap space by Trading LE + Hoglander plus a second round pick to Ottawa for Gaborik. Gaborik can than go on IR and then you get cap space needed. Sign Cernak for 3 mil. Miller Pettersson Boeser Person Horvat Johnson Roussel Gaudette Virtanen Motte Beagle Sutter MacEwen Hughes Cernak Edler Schmidt Juolevi Myers Brisebois Benn Demko Holtby Next year JB will have more options for forwards but defense will be fixed.
  4. Virtanen is not a first liner or second but is a good third line winger who can play up, He is not constant enough or can make high end plays needed for a top line player. Lacks IQ. He is not a power forward that is needed Doesn't lead the team in hits or intimin ate anyone.
  5. I think they will expand the rosters to 26 min 30 max
  6. Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Virtanen Roussel Gaudette MacEwen Motte Beagle Sutter Hawler Eriksson and Baertschi to Utica Ferland on IR Hughes-Myers Edler-Schmidt Juolevi-Benn/Rafferty Rathbone / Brisebois Demko Holtby
  7. He should be leading his team by a wide margin not 4th
  8. Trade him to Tampa for Cernak straight up. I bet Tryamkin signs for less in Tampa
  9. I dont believe we are taking a step back. The goal tending will be the same or better because the defense will be better. Hughes and Pettersson will be better making the team a hell of a lot better.
  10. The Kids will make a difference again this year. Pettersson will be better, Hughes will be better, D as a whole will be better, goal tenders will be a wash their record will be slightly better then last year. Pettersson is growing into a man and will be a 1.3 point a game producer Hughes will be a 1.1 point a game producer. Offence will increase because of these two players. Teams winning percentage will climb because of this. The young defense needs to play, no more vets unless you can add Cernak . I would give up a second and Woo for him . Cernak would make a difference to our D core. Rafferty may allso surprise.
  11. What happens in the next 2 years will define JB's time with Vancouver
  12. Exactly JB had no idea how the kids would perform. we are two years away from striking gold meaning the cup run . stay pat, develope and look for ways to improve
  13. Wow Roussel wont be sent down
  14. Craig Button knows a lot about hockey and I like his takes on players. Craig is really high on Rafferty as well. Saying he is NHL ready.
  15. I would have liked to sign Leivo but oh well we move on . Unless he can trade a contract I think JB is done. Up to the kids to perform now, we shall see how his D prospects do.
  16. JB could still improve this team , via trade or signing he hasn't yet on the forward side and i think he will add yet . Toffoli should have been signed for 4.2 million we missed out now JB is gambling on Virtanen to fill the void. Clearing cap space should have been his main focus even if it cost us a draft pick or prospect.. JB watched his team come of age and mature going further into the playoffs then expected. He give up a lot for Toffoli and should have kept him. Now its let the Kids step in. I'm ok with that. A step back maybe and maybe the kids surprise. I dont think JB has the killer instinct. Time will tell.
  17. The kids are NHL ready if you dont use your prospects you will loose then to waivers you have to play them to see what you got . Simple you dont have to play all 4 at once but 2 at a time would be good. You dont know until you know what they can do. Either play them or trade them for better D. Dont Fool around
  18. We dont have room Fantenberg or Vatanen I say go with the Kids, Rafferty is NHL ready and the same with Juolevi ,Brisebois and Chatfield are ready also, no more fillers time to get the Kids going. If Green wont play them then get another coach.
  19. Three of the 5 are will be Buried anyway its a temp solution to a problem JB created .
  20. Cap compliant how so with JV and AD not signed You have a roster of Eriksson, Bartschi, Benn, Ferland and Sautner (23 man roster) on it . to make room for them you have to bury at least 4 guys and have a 21 man roster to be cap compliant Ferland will start the season on the roster and said he was healthy
  21. This would be a tough Division all Canadian !!! Van would be in tough to make the top 4 need to add a top 6 winger that can score and another right Dman that can play big and mean.
  22. The Canucks cant bring LE back he is done . The risk is bringing him back we would have to place a better young forward on waivers and Benning would be stupid to do that .
