Popular Post Canorth Posted July 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2018 The rules are the same: 1) Everybody gets 1 post (please be honest) in which they are allowed to post their prediction for the upcoming season. 2) This post can be edited as much as you like right up until the Canucks' opening night 3) After the Canucks season opener, the thread will be locked, sealed and pinned by a moderator only to be opened again once the Vancouver Canucks have played their last game of the season (when ever that may be). This will hopefully fuel some interesting discussions at the end of the season. 4) Please, NO DISCUSSION WITHIN THIS THREAD, until it is re-opened. It will only get messy. 5) You can include anything you want in your post and it doesn't have to be just about the Canucks - standings, line-ups, trades, proposal predictions ect.. 1 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canorth Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) EP 40 gets 25g 35a and the Calder Bo Struggles BB Struggles in the first half. Still gets 30g Demko plays a few and really starts to shine Canucks second worst record in the league and win the lottery.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Predictions: Canucks will finish bottom-5 in the league Bo Horvat will lead the team in points Brock Boeser will lead the team in goals Elias Pettersson will lead the team in assists Chris Tanev will have the highest +/- Antoine Roussel will lead the team in penalty minutes Brock Boeser will lead the team in shots on goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Horvat cracks 70 points. Canucks finish last, and finally have draft lottery luck to win 1st overall for the home town draft. Sabres and Coyotes make the playoffs. Leafs lose in round 1. Oilers and Jets lose round 2. Other Canadian teams miss. Tampa beats LA for the cup.

Roberts Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) - Team finishes 5th in Pacific, 21st overall, missing playoffs. - Canucks power play finishes 3rd overall - Pettersson wins Calder Trophy - Demko has a great season in Utica - Comets lose in their conference finals. - Boeser stays healthy and finishes with 73 points - Horvat finishes with 56 points - Pettersson has a great rookie season and finishes with 79 points - Vancouver gets the 3rd overall pick - I am wrong on every prediction Edited October 3, 2018 by Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post luckylager Posted July 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Oh man I'm gonna need the summer to think about this Random Early Seasonal Estimate Regarding Valuable Ermagerd Dummy Sept 26 - still waiting on the final cuts and am admittedly seriously annoyed with JB for biding his time on this. The line blender has made it impossible to predict any kind of chemistry amongst our potential lines which are still up in the stupid &^@#ing air. So as of now Somewhere between 60 and 85 pts depending on a whole lot of stuff. Will update prior to lockage WAIVE GAGNER! Oct 1 - Canucks finish with 72 pts. Pettersson wins Calder. Bo with 70pts Boeser with 35 goals Baer with 25 goals Granny has a bounce back year and scores 22 goals Virtanen finally find his scoring touch and pots 15 goals. Gaudette just destroys the AHL, gets called up while Sutter is out with a strained groin and starts producing while being a reliable 2 way centreman. Sutter traded at the deadline. Our forward lines gel and we're scoring goals!! Unfortunately, our defence is just awful again and our goalies do not keep us in games, but hey, at least we're faster, younger and scoring.

Zhukini Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) - Boeser goes through a slump and moves off Horvats line. Ends up with about 25 goals and 55 points - EP breaks the 50 point mark, finishes 2nd in calder voting - Horvat is the teams leading scorer, hits 65 pts. - Goldy is a mainstay in the top 6, hits 20 goals. - Loui gets to 15 and 40 points - Hutton has an ok season, get to 25-30 pts - Virtanen stagnates again. Ends up with a 25 point season - Baertschi, MDZ, traded at the deadline, both for picks. - Nilsson gets waived at some point during the year - Gaunce gets called up and keeps his spot. Gaudette gets a brief look as well. - Juolevi gets called up in January, spends the rest of the year in the NHL - Demko struggles in the AHL this year. - Vancouver is really really bad. They finish 30th in the league, winning the draft lottery. - There is at least one loud Fire Benning chant at the end of the year - Benning does indeed get fired, and the next GM begins his era with Jack Hughes - St. Louis vs Calgary in the West Finals - Pittsburgh vs Boston in the East FInals - St. Louis wins the Stanley Cup. - McDavid DOESNT win the art ross. - Crosby hits 100 points again Edited October 1, 2018 by Zhukini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) well after seeing the players in penticton recent training camp and the ongoing preseason it is clear the youth is not ready and this team will suck at least in terms of point production but they likely will be a bit more entertaining to watch as hope always elevates watchability no firm predictions as most will just seem too negative team will finish with less points then last season will draft at a higher slot brock will be a marked man but will prevail just won't hit 40 goals somewhere between that and 30 bo will show steady improvement and development (petterson will be good.. just not brilliant.. as he adapts to being an nhl center) nah, after last night's game, i am amending my petterson comment he will be brilliant, he is adapting very quickly to being an nhl center, and his defensive prowess in that role is outstanding, the offense will click once his teammates adapt to him, they are just not thinking the game at his level presently and really. the only surprise is that motte makes the club, sticks, and proves he belongs juolevi will play 25 nhl games hughes will get into about 6 or 7 demko will get 5 games tanev and mdz gone at the tdl i'm really hoping we move one other dman as well .. maybe hutton along with at least one forward... maybe 2 gagner and sutter seem most likely but maybe some team might want granlund and one of either goldobin or leipsic departs post tdl dahlen and guadette are promoted if they have not been earlier i think palmu as well if enough veteran bodies are moved so how about them comets that will be a nice/fun team to watch the thought of subscribing to their games is appealing so all in all pretty weak post vague and bleh wish i had stronger positive feelings just gonna leave it at this as i don't want to dump all over the team when the season is just about to start Edited September 26, 2018 by coastal.view 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Assuming everyone were to remain healthy.. Boeser- 21 goals- 43 points Horvat- 23 goals- 54points Pettersson- 22 goals- 51 points Baer- 18 goals- 40 points Sutter- 15 goals- 33 points Gagne- 14 goals- 32 points Eriksson- 13 goals- 30 points Edler- 13 goals- 28 points Granlund- 13 goals- 25 points Tanev- 6 goals, 23 points Pouliot- 10 goals- 22 points Stetcher- 9 goals- 21 points I think there are some other guys too... - Finish with roughly 60 points. - Pettersson gets Calder nomination, but doesn't win. Plays center all year, except on the PP. - Boeser struggles in his second season. Never quite finds the form he had last year. - Hughes goes back to college. - Dahlen starts in Utica, gets a few games with the big club when injuries hit. - Gaudette starts in Utica, gets called up midway through the season when the injury bug hits, stays 'till the end of the season. - Juolevi starts in Utica, like Gaudette, is called up partways through the season. That's all I got for now. Edited October 1, 2018 by 48MPHSlapShot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Opening Night Roster Baer Bo Boeser Granlund Pettersson Sutter Eriksson Gaudette Virtanen Rousell Beagle Schaller Leipsic Goldobin Hutton Tanev Stecher Edler Del Zotto Guddy Pouliot Goldobin will have stolen a spot from one of Granlund or Eriksson by the end of the season. Likely Eriksson. Juolevi outplays Pouliot during preseason but becasue he is waiver eligible, he'll be sent to Utica. First call-up when a member of the D-corps is injured. Will stay up the rest of the season as the Canucks move from carrying 7 D to carrying 8 D. One of the vets (Granlund, Eriksson) is sacrificed. Gagner placed on waivers or trade at the start of the year. Player Performance Virtanen with 18 goals Boeser with 33 and 35 Bo with 29 and 35 Stetcher has a breakthrough season offensively but in general there is very little contribution from the Canucks' back-end. We see Sautner, McEneny, and one of Chatfield/Brisebois all see some action due to injuries. TDL Tanev traded at the deadline to the Leafs for a late first-round pick. No takers on Del Zotto. Standings Canucks finish second last in the West. 26th of 31 but lots of optimism for 2019-2020.

Odd. Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Pettersson puts up 31 goals and 65 points. Boeser has a 55-60 point season. Horvat with 60 points (25-35) Virtanen scores 20 goals 10ish assists. We miss the playoffs. Quinn Hughes comes in near the end of the year and gets a string of points. Pick top 10 in 2019 draft.

HC20.0 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I'm a little hesitant considering how off I was last season Prone to change barring any more moves: - Boeser hits 35 goals - Horvat cracks 60 points - Baertschi finally pots 20 - Grandlund bounces back a bit, gets around 12 goals, looks better - Pettersson nets about 40 points - Stecher takes a big step this year, solidifies himself as a top 4. - Hutton is gone before the trade deadline. - Demko usurps Nilsson as the back up by the end of the season. - Markstrom is a lot more consistent this year, but still not starter material. - Edler is moved at the deadline. - Gaunce starts the year in the AHL - Eriksson experiences a small revival, hits 20 goals - Beagle and Roussell do alright. Not spectacular, but okay. - The Canucks still miss the playoffs, but don't finish in the bottom 5. - Hughes destroys the NCAA this year. Fans get hyped. - Gaudette will start as our 3C. - Tanev stays - Calgary and Edmonton both make the playoffs. - Ottawa, Carolina, and Montreal finish in the bottom 3. - Winnipeg and Toronto top their divisions. - The Pacific division will be relatively weak. The Atlantic will be a juggernaut. - The Jets go all the way this year. - Washington gets curb stomped in round 1. - Pittsburgh bows out early as well. - Boston shocks the East and goes to the final. - Toronto still won't solve their D problem.
