CroSen Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Maybe I am being too positive, but I think the Canucks will be better in the 18/19 season. They looked good toward the end of the year, and I think some of the players, like Hutton will play with something to prove. I would add an offensive player or two to help support the loss of the Sedins, but I prefer Benning wait for the big fish to sign first, then see what is available like Vanek was last year. And give Horvat the C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vannuck59 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 No to trading any draft picks , sell vets for picks sign free agents d-men and centers to replace the void, Moore, Cole, Folin types. Centers, Nash Beagle, types. Plug some holes let the kids play . Get some toughness in the line up to protect the kids. Reeves extra...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anything can happen, either a wild card birth or last place would not be surprising to me. And I hope Hutton can turn it around, it's hard not to root for that guy.

I thought he was better last year than ever. Still provides some grit that we won't otherwise have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbisa is a decent bottom pairing guy and he can hit hard. That’s funny though, Pizza @ 1.5. I’d take Carlson @ 1.75 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Imagine if we could trade cap space for picks. Give certain teams in the east some breathing space for 1st or 2nd rd picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky mitts Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Outside of Tavares I agree with this sentiment. Especially after that LE debacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckster Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 "building through the Draft" thinking is fine until you realize two things: - Nucks get screwed by the Lottery, every time. - Vegas, how many players did vegas draft, that got them into the cup final????
