J.I.A.H.N Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Look, combined they have 13 goals, they are -12 and -13 respectively, is anyone suggesting that we couldn't pick up those points, playing other players, in their positions.....seriously......they are still good passers......that is about it! Not good skaters, not good defensively, not good shooters (when they shoot), and not really good "C"s or "A"s anymore................. I totally remember seeing one of the camera angles of Brock being crosschecked into the boards, and they did even look over! Like wow! Sorry! I am voting no!

Hairy Kneel Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Sheltering them for another season is looking back, we need to look forward, and help protect Brock, Bo, and probably Petterson, add Gaudette. Shelter the young guys now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboarder Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I would lean toward a "no" than a "yes" side. They have done a lot for this organization. However, the age is not on their side and while we might lose his leadership, it's painful clearly to see that this is Horvat's team. If there's no cap, I'd be willing to have them aboard for next season but there's cap and we need more players that can play offense and defence and we only get them through free agent and most of our prospects might not be ready and free agent would help us as a stop-gap or shore up some of our weakness, creating more depth and 14 million off the book would help a lot toward this goal. It all depends on what the Sedin wants to do this coming month and they'd better be giving the answer or fans will turn against them and they know it.

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ultimatum time..Umm, you guys will play on separate lines?..right?! If so, I'd consider it for paltry pesos. Hey Greener..how 'bout this next game? Loui - Horvat - Vanek Baertschi - Hank - Boeser Daniel - Sutter - Virtanen Gaunce - Dowd - Granlund Sit down for Gags...

The Big Luongo Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 There's no way in hell they're worth the 10 million number that's out there hell I wouldn't sign them for 1 million each their game is not very good at all it's painful to watch. This money has to be used elsewhere this team needs to get better soon it's been struggling far too long. The last thing this team needs is 2 slow weak players that constantly get knocked over, that can't defend, have no velocity on their shots, take lazy penalties and can't win board battles or draws and can't get to the front of the net. It's a no brainer to not sign them and bring in new players to change this pathetic soft identity this Canucks team has it's been far too long. Canucks need to get a Kane type player and let Guadette and other young skilled players who have speed, skill and strength have the opportunity and end this misery.

No we don’t...some of the top teams in the league don’t even have big physical wingers and are doing just fine. We just need a bit more sandpaper. Maybe Fake Virtanen might grow some and start playing to his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck-lifer Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just need to answer a couple simple questions. 1. who is mainly responsible for the PP success of late- Boeser. 2. Are the Sedins 2nd line players - No 3. Would the Sedins fit in an energy, grit or defensive role in the bottom 6 - No 4. Would fans generally support the decision to not resign them- overall, yes Looking from strictly a team perspective they don't fit into the plans so why waste valuable time for our youth and for our 28-32 year old vets. We could go after players for more grit, speed and specifically youth that fit our future with the dollars saved. Let the re-build ....re-build!

I like this line up I think that's a good mix that might bring the best out of what we have especially the move to sit Gagner. As far as forwards go Gagner has been brutal I can't stand watching his soft as butter game and him struggle to do anything right pretty much every game. It's bull$&!# this guy gets all the chances in the world and young players like Virtanen mess up once they're banished to the bench or pressbox.

Ughh As above lineup, it's time to spread out the slow/fast & skilled/hitters, as best we can. IF the twins don't want to show they can help two lines go(???!!!)..well that frankly p*sses me off. They should JUMP at that..which would show leadership, as I understand the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually use 'points' it doesn't work so well. Vanek - 35 pts -14 Henrik - 32 pts -13 Daniel - 30 pts -12 Why isn't Vanek getting complained about? They are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th on the team. You undervalue the playmakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
