I was encouraged that he let Boucher play in the last 3 minutes. Goldy had a quieter game but wasn't a liability either. So... you excited about BB now Alf? BB is an excellent 200 foot player. I'm really glad, and relieved, we got him signed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Granny Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I've taken a steamy dump on Willie all season, but will give him props for today. If this was the product all season, I'd be in his camp. However, I think this was more a result of injuries and management forcing his hand...and Boeser.

Laheys Liquor Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Wow.. what a game! I can't wait until next season, a full year of Bo, Boeser and Sven is going to super exciting to watch. Gonna have to renew my 11 game ice pack now lol. The future is extremely bright for this club and I can't wait to watch it unfold. P.S: can we please stop attacking Willie? its obvious these players like playing for him and want to win for him. If he had 'lost the room' these young guys would not be playing their hearts out right now trying to earn his respect. I admit i haven't been the biggest fan of some of his decisions, but there is no question he has had a hand in the positive development of nearly half of our team. Go Canucks!

Ossi Vaananen Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 What if (for next year): Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser Eriksson - Granlund - Goldobin Sedin - Sedin - Boucher Gaunce - Sutter - Chaput Skille (Virtanen) Edler - Stecher Hutton - Tanev Tryamkin - Gudbranson Biega (Miller) Markstrom Bachman (Demko) Sbisa lost in expansion draft. We draft 5-10, take a C in Mittelstadt, Rasmussen, or Vilardi. Attempt to sign Miller, but don't agree on 2 years. One of Bachman/Demko earns back up spot. Virtanen waiver eligible, has to earn spot.

If we could somehow muzzle the likes of Jeff Patterson and Jason Botchford I'm convinced we wouldn't have much of a problem here in this regard.

I really hope Sbisa gets taken now, as I am too attached to our young forwards that won't be protected (Boucher). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's with Miller and the twins skewing that upwards. For those paying attention, this was always Jim's plan: get younger at the NHL level and then work on the prospect pool. All the clamouring for "more picks" was somewhat understandable I guess, but it's not like Jim wasn't moving forward with his own plan. I like what he's done: some real potential at the NHL level and also in the prospect pool. Exciting times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we probably lose Sbisa in the expansion. My lines would be: Baertschi-Horvat-Boeser Sedin-Sedin-Virtanen Granlund-Sutter-Goldobin Gaunce-Chaput-Boucher Hutton-Tanev Edler-Stecher Tryamkin-Gudbranson Markstrom Miller Good thing is that we don't have to sign any free agents. I put Virtanen with the Sedins to develop his hockey sense. Hopefully he gets a good off-season of training in and comes to training camp a better player. He was absolute garbage this year in both the AHL and NHL. We need him to be a bright spot for us going forward. I still think he has a lot of value for us, but we need him to develop into a thirty-goal scorer like he was projected to be in his draft year. He's only 20, so I'm confident he can get better. He used to remind me a lot of Nathan Horton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
