But off the top of my head, I can't really think of who would be available for goalies via trade. I like Juuse Saros, but that would most likely be a steep price. I don't know if you want to bring in an older goalie again? If so do you kick the tires on Bobrovsky this summer? DiPietro is looking really, really promising. Will be interesting to see how he handles the spotlight from the Vancouver media at the WJHC. It almost broke Virtanen and the tournament wasn't even in Vancouver.

Am just not sure what MDZ is useful for...not good defensively, not good offensively, doesn't hit much, doesn't provide size, makes dumb plays or takes dumb penalties even in a tie game with couple of minutes remaining. I think I could play better than MDZ and I can't even skate. He's a warm body that ensures Pouliot is in the press box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will cost too much, I would just spend more money on a D like Erik Karlsson and another UFA that is better than the D we have now. I think Dipietro or Demko will eventually become our starters and it would be cheaper than Bob. The D needs a lot of work...A LOT, meaning Edler and Tanev should be traded if not this year, then next year while they even have some value.

I'm on board with BOBROVSKY! so long as Jay Onrait and Dan O'toole have to do our game highlights as part of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't help that Edlers' agent doesn't stay quiet, constantly saying he wants to stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point, Biega provides a better warm body than Del Zotto. Biega can at least skate and pass worth a damn as a career AHLer. Remember Del Zotto was waived this year, thats how bad he was. Only reason he is in the roster now, is because of injuries. He needs to be waived again like Gagner.

Seriously, since when does this GM or fanbase care about wasting Aqua-dollars? (This forum is rife with apologists of the terms and dollars of several Player contracts, as I’m certain you’re fully aware of) Nice to see a post like this, just a bit against the grain. Nice one.

Can you imagine that? Its like throwing the games away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a cap so we can't spend whatever we want. I don't care about owners money, I care about how the cap money is being distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceGeorgeGoon Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The goalie is the last piece to worry about. We dont have a #1 Left wing for that matter a #2 left wing. We dont have a top Defence Pairing, We dont have a #2 Right wing. Center looks good (dusts off hands) "there got that done." Killing it Benning.

It’s called tanking, Vancouver style, accidental, as it goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Man the 650 radio station is insufferable. Just a bunch of apologists. The Canucks are the only team right now with a 1-8-1 record in their last ten. EVERY other team is winning more. Nobody expected this team to be contenders. But dead last with no hope of winning? Come on. "But they are good 5 on 5" Special teams are part of the game. If you don't kill your penalties (after taking a bunch of bonehead penalties) you lose. Sorry.

I wouldn't mind him if he was asking for 6 million, but he probably wants 10 million. I don't see how a goalie would be worth 10 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 10 minutes ago, 6string said: In two years how many of the curretn D will be in the lineup...maybe 1! Yeah, but JB needs to make wise and smart signings to compliment the prospects (draft picks) to be a winning team, or the window will close before it opens with this group. Juolevi, Hughes, Tryamkin, Woo are a good starting point for drafting, but they need some good dmen signings to compliment them...no more placeholders.

Killing it Benning. Horvat will be out of his peak before this rebuild is a contender. Buckle up, optimists... I should ad, goalies matter. Look at Philly or St Louis even. I’d say it is probably your most important position to solidly if you don’t have a Pens or 80’s Oilers roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every analyst expected them to be dead last except Canucks fan...that is a fact. In fact, everyone was surprised how good we were at the beginning but its the same old pattern. Elias Pettersson has been great but he can't help us win with crappy goalie and defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
