Mathew Barzal Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think we'll be in the playoff race next year, which isn't a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to be in the playoff race when you don't have a functioning first line or powerplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly didn't. Given the large amount of tank posts here, I think "most" is too generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I do think if we can keep the speed and offence going with the kids, there's a decent shot at the 2nd wildcard spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat gonna get 100 points and carry the team? We don't have a first line now, and that won't change next year. I don't see how we will be in the race at all. Sedins are ineffective, and Horvat needs wingers for a first line. We don't have a strong enough offense to be in playoff race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 They're definitely going to be in the playoff conversation once the existing Sedin cap hits come off the books. A lot will depend on if they can stay healthy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 We're a 60 point team without a healthy Miller, so I'd say 5 years until playoffs, 7-10 before we're a threat to make the third round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 This team needs to take its time. They will need to spend on ufa's if we are to be a playoff team next year. I don't like that aproach. I however am not the owners so who knows. I think the kids will be a few years before their pushing for the playoffs. This year has been a successful one for a rebuilding club. Bo , Bear , Granlund , Stecher , Hutton and Tryamkin have all progressed. We are getting a glimpse of Boeser and Jake is making head way in Utica. We have added Goldobin and Dahlen plus we look to draft reasonable high this year. We have all of our top round draft picks and could also get the 2nd that we are owed from Torts.

bobbyg43 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If we draft another D man 4-7 years before we are solid again. The search for a slick goal scoring Center is on going. Add another scoring top 6 winger an we just might go a year earlier , but really out this year till at least 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 2-3 years before playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 lol we'll not be in the playoff conversation anytime soon.. our defense is actually not that great.. we are bottom 5 for shots against... that's a recipe for disaster.. and it's not like we are letting other team just shoot from the perimeter either.. a lot of shots against us are high scoring chances.. and that's with a relatively healthy defense minus gudbranson who i don't think will make a difference.. Millers actually been playing great lately with the high shots against.. if he's just average.. we prolly get blown out in a lot of the games.. do u actually see this team able to out score their opponent to compete for a playoff spot? we are giving up close to 3 goals a game avg lol meaning we need to avg 3+ goals scored per game.. with our currently lineup or projected lineup for next year? ya.. that's not happening.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be hard, other teams in the division like Arizona,Coil, Plegms are not going to flatline. Even Denver might get it figured out. Problem with this team has been a lack of scoring from the back end, you need that to compete in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theilluminati Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 So by the OP's "logic" the Canucks will be: 2017-18 bottom-feeder 2018-19 playoffs 2019-2020 Cup Oh and any of the rosters that the OP listed have one of the softest top 9's in the West and all of the NHL really.

Neko Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 As long as these players sticks around instead of demanding to be traded, Canucks has a pool of growing talent and I look forward to the year most of them are a part of the core roster.

We don't have a strong enough offense to be in playoff race. You are bang on sir. I do expect Van goal tending to be as good whether Miller or Markstrom. The d-core will have another year of experience and that is a plus. The weakness is still in the forward group and will be for several years. As bad as the Twins's year has been for their standards it will be an exception to see them come back with a stronger season. It will be their last year. It is convenient to suggest that Horvat and who plays with him will be the #1 line. The issue will be who will be the #2 and #3 lines. I am not saying there is no potential but it will take years to flesh that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye sounds stupid....and yet Blue Jackets looks a bit like that just now don't they? For the record, I don't believe we are there yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
