Pierre lebrun is probably the best on your little list. And hes just a tsn layoff lol.
Actually. Harman Dayal or Drance, or Pronman, I'd say. Though Lebrun is no slouch himself

OK, you just say there are "lots of Canuck assets that just walked away they could have traded for picks" but then don't even offer a single name let alone a portion of the "lots".
Got it. Great discussion approach.

Not really lots... But they are there

Hold on let me get you the exact number of the score subscribers. And tsn. And sportsnet. And CBC sports.
First of all, Rest in peace.
But no, like Harman Dayal(best Canucks journalist), Craig Custance, Dom Luszczyszyn, Corey Pronman, Scott Wheeler, Pierre Lebrun, Scott Cruickshank, Thomas Drance.
All these guys put out great, and informative articles, and interviews.

I thought Petey looks young, but Huggy Bear looks like he’s 12. God, he’s going to unbelievably phenomenal when he physically matures. We just might have the best number one center - number one D man combination in the league.
Crosby Letang
Backstrom Carlson
Tavares Reilly

500,000 subs says otherwise, not to mention they have pretty well all the best sports writers. Especially in Vancouver

If they were that good they'd be more popular and have more traffic. More traffic=more ads. More ads=more revenue. More revenue=no paywall.
Kind of like if I started 73Ps sports blog. Best around. 8 bucks to read what i have to think though...
This is wrong.
The math has been done and ad revenue from articles are not nearly enough to cover wages for writers. Hence why click bait has become so popular.
Athletics are the future of sports news

Don’t understand how these are bad takes.
1. The poster in question was solely using goals as a defining indicator for what constitutes top-six production, completely ignoring assists. Dude even shockingly used examples like Wheeler and Voracek. I wasn’t the only poster to point this out to him.
2. Concluding that Jake will be a playoff beast just because of his attributes is crystal-balling for the reasons listed in that post.
3. Not sure what’s wrong with wanting to see what comes of our 1st round pick to fully gauge the trade.
4. If Hutton can consistently play at the level he performed at the end of last season, he has the potential to supersede a 3rd pairing role. Note potential.
5. I’ll cede this one.
6. At the beginning of the season, based on performance alone, Gaudette had much more merit for staying on the team than Jake. Tell me I’m wrong.
I’ve never said I know “more than everyone else.” I’ve just never been afraid to voice my opinion. Yes, Jake is doing well now, but that wasn’t the case before.
I mean, I disagree with your assume negative until proven positive notions but you bring up solid points.
Just try to add a dash of optimism to your scrutiny

Why the secrecy around the “injury”?
So other teams don't know? Reminds me of all the Dems clamouring for Trump to release the info on how they knew about Solemani
"Here opposing teams, here's where to target our impact player"

He isn't better right now. Marner is the better player. Marner already has a 95 point season under his belt. Pettersson played against men in Europe too so it's not much of an excuse to say he has played less. Pettersson needs to get better at faceoffs and become a more complete player which he should but as is right now Marner is the better player.
I disagree, once again. Marners older, played with better players, and is a winger.
Pettersson plays C, which is undoubtedly a harder position in which Pete has a 64% Corsi while Marner is around 54%. Pete has 51 points to Marners 47. Also a factor to add in is that Petterssons line is +12 on the season, and Marners is... Not even in a playoff spot.
Marners corsi with Tavares is also higher than without. Showing that he is not driving the play as much as Pete.
Pete > Marner all day. You wouldn't find a GM who would swap Pete for Marner, and rightfully so.

The reason why Marner is below Pettersson is because he is a winger. Marner currently is the better player but as a winger he is not as valuable as what Pettersson will be. You can't really build a franchise around a winger.
So... Petes better, you'll say why, you just won't admit it?

Just now, RowdyCanuck said:Only way he reaches 40 goals is if he hires a good skating coach.....
Man, I'm not going to relent haha.
Boeser isn't being traded for any other winger. Boeser is wanted by every other team in the NHL. He's on a super friendly contract, and scoring at an 80 point pace. Did he sleep with your girl?

A Lot of posters claimed he could be a 40 goal scorer.....
no im not disappointed in Brock but those three players I listed play with speed and have about the same amount of raw skill. Different degree of skill in different areas in their game.
All three are like Brock top six wingers.
Which would probably put up around the same amount of points , if they played here in Van.
Well, Boeser has a higher ceiling than Forsberg at this point, Halls been traded twice so he can't be that amazing, and Benning laughed at Zucker for Boeser before Minnies GM got fired.
I know I have the talent of coming across too crass. I don't think you unintelligent or anything. I just don't like this Boeser is the new whipping boy narrative.

Woah!
I never said he was an anchor now did I?
I don't see Brock as an anchor but his suppose to be a 40 goal scorer isn't he?
I think if we had another actual top six forward that could skate that would push Brock down the depth chart....
I like Brock but watching him play against fast teams is like watching iggy's last couple years.
I'm so over This back and forth , anyone can see his skating holds him back so it would hold his line back but thx to his hockey IQ , it's not as noticeable and his still playing good but if your so much of a homer to admit say forsberg or zucker or hall playing with Miller and petey wouldnt put up as many points come on lol
just my two cents though but I'm done beating a dead horse.
Who ever said he was a 40 goal scorer? Are you disappointed that a 21st OA is only scoring at around a 30 goal pace at 22 years old? Do you think he's reached his ceiling?
Zucker!?! You're going to try and sell that Zucker is better than Boeser? Forsberg doesn't even have as many points as Boeser this season, nor has he even scored more than 33. He scores at a high 20 low 30 pace.
Come on man, you're hating for hates sake here.

Stats are great but you can make them sway in any direction just depends how you present them. They should be used in conjunction with OTHER assessments as well and the whole picture should be looked at.
But you can't just disregard them. Statistics help prove opinions and facts. You can say all these things about someone in sports but unless you have some sort of proof (stats usually) it's just a thought or theory.
I'm not against Virtanen on the 1st line in place of Boeser. I was simply just sharing the fact that 6 40 9 have been one of the best lines in the NHL in terms of 5 on 5 scoring.

Oh wouldn't be nice if it was that easy. Scoring 5 goals means nothing if your opponent scores 6. If we have possession more as a team it usually means we have more chances to score and our opponent doesn't. Like I said, give it at least a few games and see what happens.
Breh... You're reinforcing my point...
The Lotto Line is the 2nd best line in the NHL in terms of outscoring their opponent 5 on 5, behind only the perfection line. Did you even read the snippet of the article I posted?

plain and simple.....
His got the IQ and hands but crappy skating will hold him back.
Next time we play a fast team just watch Brock and you'll see what I mean
I watch almost every game, and while Brock isn't the fastest, he sure as hell isn't slow though.
You won't convince me that Boeser is an anchor on the 1st line when hes just under a point per game coming off a 3 goal 4 point week and 18 points in 18 games.
Boeser is the 3rd or 4th best forward on the team and arguably the best winger.

Totally fair.
I just don't like when people immediately write them off as if they aren't doing anything good. They're just trying to make a living doing what they love
