stawns Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 1 hour ago, VancouverHabitant said: Brock Boeser and Jake Virtanen. I'm not advocating for trading them, but that's the comparable to the Chicago model where they had to deal away some of their young breakout players. Our best players at the moment are 1. Elias Petersson 2. JT Miller 3. Quinn Hughes 4. Jacob Markstrom 5. Bo Horvat We'll see what happens in two years but I'm really hoping that we have two of Hoglander, Madden, Rathbone or Podkolzin ready to step in and take an NHL job by then. If that happens then we can start doing what you're suggesting. Boeser will be the main one to go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peteys next contract will likely be double digits, then the Canucks are in trouble, imo The only player I've ever heard say that - and this goes back a long way - is McKinnon this year for his next contract. Will he do it? Probably not. Players care more about their bank accounts for the most part - although Burrows took a discount on his second to last contract but was more then compensated for it on his last. We shouldn't expect anyone one this team to take less value then they've earned - because they will not do that. The best we can hope for is we sign guys to a fair contract and they out perform it.

I definitely don't expect anyone to leave $ on the table. However, I hope they understand that pretty much closes a window on the team. Of course the cap amount plays a part in that too. Petey will get a massive pay day and he will have earned it (in context), but it will be bad for the team, as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also leave money on the table to play where I want. It really strikes me as odd that we don't see that more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deflections off stopping motions were allowed before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joulevi looking very really good in Utica lately, would like to see Brisboise soon, Raferty, Woo. The future is bright. Makes you wonder if it wasn’t for Joulevi being a little behind schedule because of set backs,. If Tanev would be shopped hard.? Yup totally agree, if were not in it come TDL I'd move Tanev and Stetcher. Stack our picks. I'm not as high on Tryamkin but hopefully he turns out to be decent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he's got speed and good hands, but there are better playmakers, harder shots, guys like Malkin that play a far tougher game, etc. I'd much rather face Edmonton and McDiver than Colorado and MacKinnon in the playoffs. Diver is also not as complete a player as Crosby, I actually don't like that comparison at all. Agree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Brock but his play this year has me worried that he wont be worth the contract hes going to get in a couple years. Part of me wants to trade him and maximize his value and the other part thinks we could end up regretting it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say he tries this 10-12 times a game and it results in turnover 90% So were 40 games into the season. If he tried this 10 times a game and 9/10 were turned over he'd have 360 turnovers right? Not 54 or whatever... You know what he does have....62 pts lol. So yeah. Take the blinders off maybe. Nobody is denying his speed and ability to get points. McDavid is not an all round complete hockey player. In my mind to be the "the best player in the world" you need to play both sides of the ice. Play a team game, rather than worry about padding your own stats. As a Captain you don't whine and cry about everything. He doesn't use his big frame for any type of contact. He watches and waits for the puck, a lot of time at the blueline. You rarely see him battling the boards or blocking shots. We have seen Petterson dive in front of shots to stop the puck from going in on an empty net on numerous occasions. No way McDavid is doing that. Overrated.
