hyper00 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Horvat gets a 7x7mil contract, finishes with 60+ points. Goldobin plays well with the Baertchi and Horvat line, as does Granlund with the Sedins. Sedins bounce back providing 50+ each. Eriksson makes himself comfortable and contributes well on the 3rd line. Juolevi gets sent back to the OHL and Boeser sent to Utica to avoid the wildlife of the Canucks (Gets games due to injuries. Bottom five team (Last in the Pacific) Win the lottery (My bets on 2nd overall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Canucks lack of a starting goalie causes them to finish Dead last in the NHL. Horvat gets 60pts Sedins finish around 40 each. Our PowerPlay is worst in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeTr11 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I predict the Canucks perform well up until December, where they go on a losing streak or sustain a major injury to a key player. Confidence tanks, FA singings get sold at the deadline for underrated prospects and we draft in the top 10. Im gonna say 27th in the League, 6th in the pacific.

Primal Optimist Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Coach Green has them playing meaningful games into April, but they just miss and end up picking 3rd after a lotto win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck-lifer Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi-lights - Horvat hits 60+ points, Granny, Brock and Eriksson crack 20 goals, Stecher voted Canucks top D man with 35 points , earns rich long term contract, Virtanen cracks line up out of training camp and becomes a staple on the third line, causing fans to raved about Benning, and that excellent #6 pick in 2014! Lo-lights - Canucks end up bottom 5 (could be hi-light) , Henrik injury forces him and Daniel into retirement (fans quickly move on), Marky/ Nillson are the weak link on the team with neither taking the reigns as the #1 (Demko talk heats up for 2018-19 as the starter and favorite Calder winner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McIlhargey the Lesser Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'm going WAY out on a limb here and say we make the playoffs. Second round exit. Handily defeated but not a rout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Canucks improve under coach Green,but fall short of making the playoffs...don't get a top 5 pick....Probably picking around 9-12 (unless we win the lottery)... Will definitely be a lot more entertaining than what we've seen in the last few years.but inevitably veering into the territory of 'no mans land'....The 2017-18 Canucks will not be bad enough to acquire a game changing asset in the draft,or be good enough to be a playoff team.

Your scenario is the worse possible finish for our rebuild. We need to draft top five (three is better) for a couple more drafts. Our current group of future core guys are not good enough to be consistently competing at the top of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 This will be a hard team to read. Lots of changes, and if the Sedins bounce back , even somewhat they easily could be a playoff team. If they are coached like the last (since Torts) they will miss the play-offs. If the coach adapts and makes changes when things are not working maybeeven separating the twins now and then we could see a balanced line up. But I predict they make the playoffs with a few points to spare. Thinking about San Jose sharks when everyone thought they we're done. I can see both Edmonton and Calgary staying about the same. But everything depends on health. A couple teams that are expected to do well will falter leaving spots open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 They are in the playoff hunt right up until January/February but finish 25th in the league after getting pooped on by injuries again, cause Canucks. Then they draft 5th overall again, cause like I said; Canucks. BUT Big Jim takes destiny into his own hands and trades up to 1st overall like a G.

BCNeil Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Wow, I have never seen a thread like this with a time lock. So many of you just have reserved....hurry hurry? So Canucks. Better team, but no playoffs. The Albertas are both going to be stronger teams, as well as Ducks. Leaving the other 2 California teams and teams from the central taking the wildcards. Canucks can finish anywhere in the bottom 12, very hard to guess this, until we at least see what the new coach decides to do. Basically a pretty dull year for the Canucks. I predict a BOA either first or second round, with the winner of that going on to the finals. Where the Penguins take it again for the east. McDavid takes all scoring crowns, with like 40-70-110.

kenhodgejr Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 We make the playoffs and get into the second round. We pick a 5'8 155 pound skilled defence man with our first round pick at the 2018 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict Coach Green will have playoff ambitions. If the Sedins bounce back and others step up and all bounces going the Canuck's way the team could make the playoffs. Not a bad thing to get to the post season to see where the short falls are. Glad we have a new coach though...... God speed Coach Green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Barely miss the playoffs but the team plays exciting hockey and Linden and Bennings vision starts to come to fruition. Luck starts to go our way and we win the draft lottery anyway. Tankers are silent. GCG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Boeser makes the team out of training camp. Demko improves on last season in the AHL, gets called up for a game or two due to injury at the end of the season. Starts a game. The Sedins are Canucks at the end of the season. We all collectively salivate at the thought of a bulked up Pettersson making his NHL debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
