4 years from now cannot come fast enough for this one to join the team tryouts hopefully in 3 or 2 would bee good enough than to move to utica for field testing an fine tuning for Canucks.

I think the category Mac is probably game breaker type of player with impact to change games an hence the high values attributed to his skill set now .Boeser may well be a game breaking scorer for the canucks in the future ,but all indications are he will have to win his way onto roster with a two way game to point of not being a liability on D side of the puck.He may prove out to be a pure sniper once all the skill sets are molded to the NHL game style the canucks play,scorers,an snipers are an important element to the mix an composite make up of the team.I love Mac but at this point the team direction supercedes his atributes at this time an he will be successful but may need a centre to help him arrive there.To me the important thing is Boeser is in the fold an his upside is up to him an this may surprise more than a few.I think Bo is a future captain of the team down the road.no need to say anymore just more up beat this year about reloading to prospect pool with capable potential that could prove itself out to more than flash in pan rebuild.

I must say has plumber written all over him If he is an above average skater an can pass in tight confined space perhaps there may be some upside I would say on surface he may be overrated by many of the evaluations on him should have been a third rd.Not sure I think this is a crap shoot pick with marginal upside perhaps a filler for the farm system? really not sure why we did not scour the WHL for a good western hockey bred player? just my first impressions as I do not have enough knowledge of him other than others opinions from and judgement .We In Van always seem to overvalue an hype what we pick up.

Why burden the cap with another pick up it make JB look stroke of genius by playing da kids an developing them under WD he is destined to play 2nd line one day as he continues to develop fine if Vey can play 2nd line now imagine with a year under belt what he may do next year.Bo should be shown second pp for a cup off coffee sometime just for fan appreaciation game. It has been so long to see impressive steady play by youth it is so refreshing an reinvigorating an gets us out of the stale play doldrums that sometimes lulls everyone to sleep

Looking forward to the day he plays for Canucks,But when that day comes I am sure he will be ready for the challenge.Thanks for all the great posters here an videos. Coaching will help him in defensive aspect of his game development.There is alot of upside potential .WD does not really like to play kids on big team so may be bit of a wait to see him here in 3 or 4 yrs hopefully he takes nhl by storm in his rookies year as some think he may.To bad the ahl has that silly rule for north american drafted players ,Jake may be stuck in jrs for his final year an equally bad is it wil be somewhat wasted by not getting coaching he needs to continue to his full potential development.

Well someday Shero will get his own, right now the troops need to regroup energize an make best possible run for a play off spot pride is on the line ,i would double shift Kesler. shero offer was an insult to our GM an management and arrogant to think he could fleece Gillis. We in Vancouver have our dignity an self respect intact an need to rally behind our team ,yeah its dissapointing no rebuild but playoffs still possible yet its gonna be a long 24 to 36 months an thumbs down to eastern media sad to say even in Canada's best too right in there like a dirty shirt
-
I guess we stay the course an work our player development thru the draft an farm ,an bide our time till the young guys are ready for our next run. It is sad the way Lu was cut loose though even if it freed cap space up for potential June reaping. We will continue to get bigger gritier, faster an more talented with the wild west as it is
-
OK IF ITS A NO GO DAY an Kes stays ,there are only 5 UFA players this summer an every one an their dog will be bidding, an with our luck or lack of it,we will still have our cap space an no sniper on payroll next yr.An if we happen to luck out the word out on street how Lu was treated may not entice any one to want to come to vancouver.NY just took a Tampa player to compete an tampa freed up space an got draft picks next yr.We it seems are not gonna move any more major parts today an that thought sucks
-
if Gillis has no balls to pull trigger on Kesler trade today he should be fired ,waiting on the draft day for a play will only net less .This could start the beginning of new regime .One way or another,I still liked the Philly offer an know Pitt is capable of putting more on the table,only a skilled GM can co-opt that out of another who wants to deal. ITS TO BAD THE 2014 DRAFT IS NOT LOADED WITH GOOD CAN'T MISS PLAYERS THERE WOULD NOT BE A BACK LOG JAM IN TRADES THIS AM.COME ON MG KICK START IT OFF
-
it does not matter the lock out, etc, this year will define MG an so far it has been worst ride in years. no one has been advocating that Malkin be picked up in trade in fact most here are looking at stock piles of young talent pool these teams that seem to wanna deal to the canucks the flyers Pitt Chi an ducks have some very fine young assets who could transition this team in shorter time frame back to the promised land, key is get younger bigger more talented with more upside grit an speed .
-
this is good as the value will ever get for Kesler ,this is a unique circumstance for three play off bound teams that think they are ready to win it all so they can part with some young players an draft picks.If MG waits for draft the realized net value wont be as high with three or four teams now willing to give up what ever they need to get over the top this makes for a kings ransom .Edmonton an Calgary will be silly jealious if MG pulls this off as well as TO
-
stock pile picks for 2015 an 2016 when we unload Kes next yrs drafts looks to be alot deeper than this yr.we still need a high end porformance oriented centre who can score pass an hit as well as skate like the wind Philly has a couple of those parts ,If I were them i would nail a deal down fast as vultures will be moving in fast.Schenn is still there as well as couts an picks lets lock em down before someone gets cold feet

[Trade] Canucks Trade Luongo to the Panthers
bobbyg43 replied to Alex the Great's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
this is good for Lu wish him well he served Vancouver well just could not get big one not his fault.Now we have freed up 5 million in cap space wonder whats next ? -
edler is a seperate deal with philly the main man is kesler we will take ; Couturier an B Schenn + a first in 2015 after Philly goes to cup final other wise a 2014 first. if we have to throw in middle six forward so be it lets get ready to rumble in west. Schenn is gonna be ok east west east all the same we need gritty with skill who can work out 20+ minutes under current wing nut coach .Other teams express interest in Edler its another frackin deal Whiskey, tango, foxtrot over I say again " Drop the hook an anchors away"
-
Kessler- Schenn i would also demand Couturier an a first an third next yr if they want Edler so be it as well toss in a third liner for them at least i could live for the future a bright potential with these players may bring once we have rid ourselves of the twins in three or four years also re evaluate our scouting an player development system an tweek that now.Goalies seem to be the only players we can really develop to full potential

Is Luongo sitting out again because he's in play?
bobbyg43 replied to VegasCanuck's topic in Canucks Talk
Lack is being developed an fast tracked so he may return a horvat type player perhaps as early as this summer.Luongo is not in play Vancouver is a goalie development machine. -
[RUMOURS] Daily TSN Trade Rumours.

a few hundred combinations have been thrown out as possible trade foder for GM MG to pursue ,nothing will fall in his lap an as it seems a lot of good suggestions have been put out there none have droned on as possible except the unreal. Im all for a retool the parts we have on roster are pretty sparse but could make for interesting run up to trade deadline.Team I would like to deal is Luongo for number one pick from nyi. this would shore up NYI an help them to playoffs -

http://forum.canucks.com/user/30127-sonoman/ I did not reference or imply or say that vancouver or canuck was referenced in the story just said it would be good swap for van re: we could give them size fit in Booth who s game more suited to the east, + take some of his salary for Borque who has two yrs left at $3.1 or 2 it would be good change for both players
