Elias Pettersson Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 1 minute ago, Alflives said: The Loui effect might cost us the ability to sign both Marky and Tanev. Thinking of Loui’s effect on our cap, and ability to resign our own much needed players makes me He's going to retire after he gets he $3 million bonus in the summer. He's not going to play the entire year for only $1 million, especially if we send him to Utica. The last year of his deal he can make up by playing in Sweden for a couple years. I think this is the plan already laid out for Loui. That's why he hasn't been sent to Utica this year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t the Canucks be providing custom skates for all their pro players? I would think that contractors would have their own equipment, its not like the players don't get paid enough money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he didn’t even know how to food shop and cook. We need to support our prospects with skates that fit, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey he's not a maid or a cook, he's a hockey player, he should at least know his equipment shouldn't he? Could you imagine a framer who needed to be supplied a hammer and measuring tape?

Boudrias Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 6 hours ago, Alflives said: As the games have ramped up Pearson has disappeared. He has a rep for being hot and cold. He has had a better than expected season and should help the kids n playoffs. It doesn't change what Benning has to do with every player. Evaluate performance against those who can replace them. Will Pearson be a top 6 player in 2023 and if he is will he contribute to a serious CUP run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Kole Lind will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I think Kole Lind makes the team next season. Looks like he's taken significant strides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacEwen Lind Rafferty Juolevi Hogs Podz Bailey Still leaves Rathbone, Woo, Jasek, Costmar and Mcdonough as well as Focht and Tryamkin as well as DiPietro all with great chances to make it.

IMO Rathbone will be on the Canucks within two years. He’s 21 and physically and emotionally mature. He’s maybe even ready now. Kid is going to be a seriously good player for us. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya...I would have put Rathbone in the "7" ...but there was already 2 D in the top 7 and Tryamkin could come back which would make it just about impossible for all 4 D. to make it within 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler, Stecher, Fatenberg, Benn and maybe Tanev will all be gone by end of next year. So there will be lots of spots open for the young guys. If Benning decides to re-sign Tanev and Edler then there will still be 3 spots open minimum by end of next year. I could see Tryamkin, Juolevi and Rafferty taking those spots. Rathbone, Woo and Brisebois would also be in the mix. We could also make a trade if we re-sign Toffoli. I could see us trading Brock for a top 4 Dman. We have lots of young prospects on D.

old guy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Podkolzin, Hoglander, Woo, Rafferty, Rathbone, Juolevi, and Lind. That's the ones Benning had in mind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be given a really good look in camp, but I think he'll just be one of the first ones on the ladder for call ups. I think he has made significant progress, but I think he still has work to do and that the Canucks will want him playing significant minutes, not just sitting on the 4th line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kole Lind will be ecstatic if he attains the level of play of Pearson in the NHL. Everyone online overrates prospects simply because they are prospects.
