I have $20 that says I hit the over on the over/under of Eriksson hitting 24.5 with 70 or more games played. I also have $20 that says the Canucks finish above the Oilers. I don't have any actual predictions. I guess those are mine. Canucks make the playoffs. Eriksson scores 25+ Canucks are still better than the Oilers. Ouch!

Canucks trade away Vets such as Edler, Miller, Hansen, Sbisa at deadline. Willie fired and we go into more of a rebuild phase. Canucks end up dead last with 70 points. The good Horvat 20g16A Baertschi 18G23A Rodin 25G 12A Sutter 18G 25A Markstrom plays like a #1 Vitanen 15G 12A Eriksson 28G16A Hutton 2G 30A Gudbranson 7G 14A Edler 6G 24A Hansen 17G 20A D Sedin 25G 22A H Sedin injured but gets 14G 20A Stetcher gets some games and gets 3G 15A Canucks play well but don't have enough depth for top player injuries. End up dead last and lose the Jackpot (because Canucks aren't allowed first round pick, Bettman). Canucks look forward to next year and sign some free agents. They bring up their blooming prospects and look better the year after. 2017 Roster Daniel-Henrik-Boeser Baertshi-Horvat-Eriksson Granlund-Sutter-Virtanen Labate-Gaunce-Rendulic Dorsett-Carcone Juolevi-Tanev Guddy-Hutt Tryamkin-Stetcher Pedan Markstrom Bishop(or another aging goalie a team wants to dump for cap space) The team is going to suck this year but in a couple or few it could be good but Canucks need a new top line centre and LW to replace the Sedins and soon. Low hopes for this year Oh but Tryamkin hits Mathews through the glass to make the year worth it and pisses off Toronto Well I was right on a few points. Guessed Horvats and Baertschi's goal totals as well as a couple others. Disappointing year for our vets. The Sedins and Eriksson did not produce as this team needed it too in order to succeed. Almost was right when I guessed they'd finish dead last but who knew Colorado was going to lay down and play like @#$% all year haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 On 2016-06-28 at 4:13 PM, HC20.0 said: Alright, should be my final predictions. The Sedins hit 60 points. Age starts to really show, but they still produce. I was right about the age starting to show. I don't think Hank and Danny have much more. Wrong about the totals... they didn't come close. 1/2 Eriksson hits 30 goals. Biggest disappointment on the year goes to... 0/1 Baertschi breaks out with about 20-25 goals, 40 points. He would have hit both easy if not for his injuries, so I was almost spot on here. 0.5/1 Horvat also breaks out with around 20 goals, but 50 points. Nailed this one. 2/2 Virtanen starts in the AHL, gets called up halfway through season. Hahaha the exact opposite happened. 0/2 Sutter stays healthy, gets 20 goals, and 40 points. Does better then Bonino. Wrong on every account. 0/3 Burrows is the 13th forward. Doesn't crack 10 goals, but gets a very emotional send off. Didn't crack 10 goals here, but hit 14 on the year. It was a very sad day for all when the trade happened. 0.5/2 Dorsett lost in expansion draft. TBD, but I highly doubt it now. 0/1 Granlund has much better season. Shinkaruk underwhelms. Bang on on this one. 2/2 Gaunce makes the team. Nailed it. 1/1 Edler has decent season, gets 30 points. Did not happen. 0/1 Gudbranson becomes a staple on our blue line, fans love him. Hahaha I like him, but he was a let down this year. 0/1 Tanev is his same old reliable self. Yup. 1/1 Hutton hits Sophomore slump, but shows improvement as season progresses. Definitely had a much better second half of the season. His first half was dreadful. 1/1 Larsen becomes the new Weber. Aye. 1/1 Sbisa continues to improve. Improved a lot more than I thought he would, so credit where it's due. 1/1 Miller is average. Posts about 910%. Miller was elite this season. The sole reason why we were better than the Avs. 0.5/1 Markstrom takes over as starter by the end of the season, shows great improvement. Even if Marky hadn't been so injured, he still probably wouldn't have just because of Miller's phenomenal play. 0/1 Vancouver greatly improves, but narrowly misses the playoffs. We regressed actually, and missed by a very wide margin. Fancy that. 0/1 Utica does better this season. Very poor first half, monster second half. 0.5/1 Edmonton sucks a little less, still misses playoffs. 0/1 Toronto just sucks. 0/1 Calgary misses the playoffs. I'm out of facepalms. 0/1 Montreal misses again, Bergevin and Therrien are fired and lynched. Well I got Therrien right at least.... 1/3 Ottawa and Winnipeg squeak in. Sens still call for new owner. Winnipeg's goaltending really let me down here. 1/2 Chicago declines more, gets another first round exit. TBD, but won the conference, so so far.... EDIT: HOLY FRACK! 1/1 LA also declines, but makes it to round 2. Halfway right at least. 1/2 Tampa Bay gets back into the finals. Nope. 0/1 Anaheim and San Jose make the playoffs. Hey this was hard to predict. 2/2 Nashville wins the west, goes far in the playoffs. First half was wrong. I think Chicago will destroy the Preds, so right now, 0/2 EDIT HOLY FRACK THEY SWEPT CHICAGO! Still 0/2 tho. Arizona misses the playoffs. Again, hard to predict. 1/1 Florida declines a lot with their new blue line. Called it. 1/1 Pittsburgh wins division. Nope. 3rd actually. 0/1 No Canadian team makes it out of round 1. Fricking Sens and Oilers hahaha. Totals: 20/47. Yikes...... Not getting lotto tickets anytime soon...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many question marks over this roster that making playoffs would be a huge success. I have greater confidence in the goal tending and with the d-core but suspect the forward group struggles again this year. The depth is shallow that injuries could quickly kill the season. Placing Winnipeg under Van in playoff rankings is brutal. Their roster is more than playoff ready I expect them to be contenders. I do not expect the Canucks will make the playoffs. Not upset about that reality. Well done, you called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Christmas we'll be sure were making the playoffs. In January we'll be bragging about being the hunt for a wilcard spot, in February to the trade deadline we'll debate on moving contracts or adding (benning will do nothing) and then we'll spend the rest of the season debating on who we'll draft depending on where we may pick. With the exception of being surprised that benning actually moved a couple of contracts at a deadline I think the season was pretty predictable.

-AJ- Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 On 2016-10-14 at 3:11 PM, ajhockey said: I thought I had already posted to this, but I guess not. I'll make some guesses: I was surprised at how pessimistic my predictions ended up being, though I guess they're not too far off what I expected. Minor improvements in the grand scope of things, but some of the key young guys continuing to improve. Stecher comes up for 9 games and impresses. The Sedins and Eriksson gel pretty well as they have a slightly better year point-wise and get Eriksson 29 goals. Baertschi and Horvat show great chemistry and continue to slowly, but surely improve. Both truly begin to look like top 6 players. Rodin joins Baertschi and Horvat after his injury and meshes well Hutton has a great sophomore year, cementing his identity as an offensive defenseman Sutter has a bit of a rough year from receiving less minutes on the 3rd line Edler and Tanev have average years, not great, not bad Granlund doesn't surprise, but doesn't regress either Hansen has a rough year not playing big minutes Gaunce sticks with the team for most of the year and solidifies himself as an NHL player Virtanen has trouble in his sophomore year and is scratched a few times before being sent down Burrows plays the leader role well, but begins to fall behind the game a bit Larsen and Tryamkin switch in and out of the #6 spot, but neither look particularly promising Biega plays some games to become eligible for the expansion draft Miller looks alright, but a bit shaky at time Markstrom begins to outplay Miller and the team becomes more confident in front of him The Canucks as a whole finish 11th in the West, with slightly better offense and defense than last year. A step in the right direction. I bolded some of the statements that were somewhat close to being right. Overall, I generally overestimated some players and underestimated others. As far as point projections go, I got Sbisa's 13 points dead on and Baertschi was pretty much on pace to match my guess. Miller was one win off what I predicted and Skille wasn't too far off the point total. As the team goes, they were closer to matching my predictions earlier on, but fell pretty hard at the end for the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit better, sure. A little bit. Less goals scored against us than last season. -15%. Forwards have improved a little as well. I was expecting a big increase in production, I'm not gonna let WD's first game line up bring me down. We will score at least 60 more goals this season than last! Canucks battle for a wild card is the best case scenario. Worst case is a top 5 pick, again. But nowhere near as bad as the media wants us to be Wrong, Lucky, you fool. Pretty much exactly as bad as the media expected us to be. Damn! Damn Damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
