He's an absolute pod.......another analytics baby who thinks the purpose of the league is to find killer deals, and amass high draft pick after high draft pick, not actually win the cup. Honestly, they should have their own awards night in some parent’s basement where they award “most weaponized cap space” and “biggest pick stockpile” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 Ferland - instant fan favourite. Playing on Pettersson's line, he and Boeser should have a little more confidence and room to make plays without the fear of a dirty hit, and knowing Mr. Ferly has their backs. Putting Miller with Pearson and Bo would be a devastating line for opponents. So good defensively, and ferocious in their attack. Like 3 bulls coming at you. I'm trying real hard not to be overly confident about this coming season, but it's tough. Suddenly, the Canucks look for real (on paper). Now, what would make this hockey off season perfect is if another team offer sheets Marner lol 1 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the types of players the Canucks would be trading for at the trade deadline. This way no need to give up draft picks. Inevitably there will be injuries, so the depth is needed. Bo doesn't have to take defensive faceoffs. He was noticeably tired in the 2nd half of the year having to take every draw. If you are a playoff team, you have to think about being rested and ready to go in the playoffs. Now the Canucks on paper are a playoff team. No need to send Sutter or Beagle anywhere. I hope we wouldn’t be trading for another player like Sutter, nor should we keep him - the heart is willing but the flesh is weak - too often hurt. The best way to minimize the inevitable injuries is to bring in players that are not often hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something missing here because I am pretty sure after Chicago traded Huet to Europe the NHL came in and shut that loophole to prevent any other team from doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a better, puck possession team after this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rindiculous Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) So I just read the Sportsnet article on offseason team improvement power rankings. We’re 14th and laffs are top 10. We should probably be #5 on any list this offseason but yah looks like canucks are going to be showing a lot of idiots up this year. oh btw the Oilers were one spot behind us. THE &^@#ING OILERS!!!!!

Megalodon Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 So how many guys do the opposition send in to deal with the forecheck now? Leaving how much more room for Hughes, etc. To operate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays 50-60 games by the deadline then he will be very easy to trade. If he doesn't then he still may be healthy by the playoffs and be a useful healthy body. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team when completed (I don't think Benning is finished) will earn respect around the league. Since 2011 I personally embrace the hate from pundits and around the league.

Duodenum Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 56 minutes ago, kanucks25 said: Eventually cap will become a problem and we might have to throw in sweeteners to get rid of it (some already talking about it with the Sutter and Eriksson deals, for example). A few less of those questionable contracts and the cap situation would look a lot cleaner. Hard to complain about this signing, though, as it's a free player for under market value. Luongo's cap hit doesn't help either. Neither did the Gagner signing -> Trade for Spooner -> buyout. Or Eriksson. Benning's made some bone-headed decisions but I don't think Ferland @ 3.5/year is one of them. It's a fine number even if he regresses to a third line player like Brandon Tanev. It doesn't look like the Canucks are in any need to sweeten up contracts to get rid of this year at least, unless Boeser gets way more than I expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure a lot different collection than we’ve had in years; though I guess the change in character started with Roussel, Beagle, and Schaller, and continued with Pearson and Leivo. Now, with Miller, Ferland, Myers, and Benn - not to forget to mention Jake, unlike Eriksson, who could go into a corner with a pocket full of fresh eggs and not break a single one, I think these guys will create a lot of omelettes. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
