  1. I don’t think they’ll come back from Michigan for training camp , but last minute before the regular season starts, sure.
  2. I swear the refs want Dallas to win , they keep ending charger drives with shady calls
  3. the List is missing the best Canucks , Messier apparently could play hockey if he wasn’t wearing a Canucks jersey, so probably Bertuzzi in his Prime.
  4. I hope I have to choose between Podkolzin and MacEwan as my favourite Canucks, just depends if TG lets them play though.
  5. I have to admit I’ve seriously considered lately if the Canucks had to ever choose which of these two players they couldn’t live without who would it be , and I had an argument with myself, top line centre or top D man , I would eventually side with Hughes but the Truth is the Canucks really need two more than anyone else in the line up with all due respect.
  6. You could fill the hall of fame with hard working 2nd liners , but they don’t .
  7. I voted Scott Walker just because he was tough as nails and deserves some recognition. Donald Brashear was the greatest heavyweight to ever play for the Canucks though .
  8. One thing about Gudbranson is he will only fight a maximum twice in a season mostly because of his past wrist surgeries, but regardless of who he fights he won’t lose, his fight record is better than the Undertakers win record at wrestle mania. Beyond that , he doesn’t have enough skill to be re-signed by Ottawa. Good luck Calgary, you are the proud owners of the two oldest pilons in the league.
  9. I have been hoping for years to see a Lucic vs Gudbranson heavyweight bout , damn Flames ruined it for me.
  10. He will eventually make it back to the NHL . If he were truly in trouble with the law I don’t know how you swing going to Russia. I’m guessing he will look like an all star in the KHL
  11. What’s transpired between Montreal and Carolina is why smart GM’s steer clear of offer sheets. It comes back to bite you.
  12. I was a huge Bure fan , but Larionov was the Russian Gretzky. Hands down the best Russian player of all time. Came to the NHL late in his career after being a part of the legendary Russian KLM line , played at an elite level into his 40’s , instrumental in Detroit winning the cup. The Canucks were crazy to ever let Bure and Larionov ever part ways.
  13. Arizona can look forward to a lot of cap space in 2 years maybe some high draft picks . That is all
  14. Did anyone sence Millers’ frustration with his line mates last year, especially Pettersson before he was injured? The guy came here from the best team in the league , then fell to the bottom of the standings. If the Canucks aren’t a playoff team this coming season it’s going to be a revolving door of players wanting out and a coaching change. J.T. Wants to win more than anyone else on the ice and it showed
  15. I can totally buy his wife’s story as the truth. There’s more credibility coming from her .
  16. Torts will be good at it he’s a smart hockey man , it’s his people skills that need some work.
  17. Love Burr but that PP was a train wreck in the playoffs, Newell Brown-Esk you might say.
  18. Would you go 2 for 2 ? Eichel and Dahlin for Pettersson and Hughes. I would if it wasn’t for Eichel’s uncertainty, an artificial disc will probably have ongoing complications for the rest of his career, but healthy he’s right at the level of a Mackinnon. For me it all depends on the money they want, a trade might be cheaper than a pair of 8million contracts.
  19. I like the roster, my biggest concern is Our defensive strategy employed by Nolan Baumgartner. You’ve got to slow entry at the blueline, not the face off circles.
  20. Trade his rights to either Tampa or Toronto, they love the LTIR.
  21. If they ask too much maybe Eichle and Dahlin are adequate replacements.
  22. The only thing keeping him from getting the same contract as Makar is his small size and poor defensive play. Other teams target him , he got creamed a few times last year, now he hears footsteps every time he has to turn back for a puck. He’s a PP specialist at best right now, he has to evolve his game to elevate it.
