Honestly, the only forwards with value that would bring back defenseman WORTH obtaining are not up for grabs (Boeser/Horvat/Pettersson).
I honestly think it's Podkolzins fate to return us a young bonafide top 2 dman. In the two years he spends in Russia we will likely solidify our top six in some shape or form. He'll be the odd man out.

No, we need to shed bad contracts as early as possible.We might have room to re-sign our big guns but once we start accumulating quality depth there is going to be some tough cap decisions with the way our team is structured.
There are too many overpaid bottom six bodies.

TyMy is gonna be one of those rollercoaster players. At least he isn't boring to watch.

Nope, it's the truth. I hope Baertschi clears and comes back stronger later this year.

unless AG can score 12-15.
Wouldn't have been surprised if he did with Baertschi given their obvious chemistry.

&^@# this. There goes the idea of rolling three scoring lines.

Isn't reddit as bad as hf for Canuck and Canuck prospect info? I don't know personally....have never been to that site.
People there are generally more casual fans, but they tend to be a lot more level headed than on hockey specific forums. At least in the Canucks subreddit.

According to a Utica fan who attended the game on reddit Juolevi is not looking great. Says he would not be on the roster if not for his draft position.

He'd probably have a decent year on the third line but I think our depth gives us the unique opportunity to let him marinate in the AHL for a bit. Let him learn to dominate the pro game at that level playing 20+ minutes a night and then bring him up around January/February when the inevitable injury train rolls around.

Certainly don't see any sign of a trade and he definitely wont pass through waivers. Just have to wait it out for his confidence and consistency to kick in...
The problem is Jake is just as content to wait for his own confidence and consistency to kick in since he's been gifted a roster spot for the last three years.

Benn giggling at Gaudette's celly made me giggle.

So much to love about this team, but Virtanen is genuinely pissing me off now. The kid clearly hasn't worked on any of his deficiencies in the past two years. His on ice awareness and vision is god awful and the few times he does by some miracle attempt a pass it's either too hard or off the mark. Wouldn't be surprised if Ferland and Podkolzin were brought in because they saw the writing on the wall.
Sad stuff, Virt literally fills the role of what this team needs the most if he could just find it in him to WORK HARD.

Virtanen's hanging on his last threads. Not sure he figures it out with us. He's too comfortable here.

Another game, another invisible night for Goldobin and Virtanen. Gaudette would do well to marinate On Utica's top line, he has the instincts but just needs to refine his game a bit.
On the plus side, we never have to see those goaltenders in the regular season.

Goldobin seems to have better defensive awareness this preseason. And Virt has two goals. What are you expecting?
A change in playing mentality, from what I've seen they've just gotten better at what they were already good at. Hard to put into words because I'm trying to describe my eye test for each one.
Jake's finished plays off the rush using his speed, which he was already good at. But he still tends to go invisible without the puck. Goldobin, while more active defensively is still a marshmallow in the board scrums. I don't see him willing to do the major grunt work required to win puck battles consistently. You don't have to be Chris Pronger to be physical.
Again, maybe they're letting up because it's pre-season but I don't think they're in a position to not be putting their foot on the gas pedal.

Neither Goldobin nor Virtanen have shown any glimpses of progressing their overall game this preseason thus far, it's a bit disappointing but I'll reserve final judgement for the regalar season. Both still need to find a way to be putting in effort and getting themselves engaged without the puck.
If we were able to ship them for picks at this point they wouldn't be sorely missed.

Anymore updates on the Rooster since training camp started?

Gads has this year to bounce back. Same with Lind.
Keppen is a beast and drives play. Gads doesn't and didn't drive play.
Let's see what happens with Gads this season. He likely had very specific areas to work on.
As for faking big guys. We need big guys. We need complimentary players for EP40 and Bo. Guys that play the right way and can support the line drivers.
This team has taken a number of shots at the PF type player, this draft shows how high a priority it is for JB. Podz is a PF player. A 200ft PF. Keppen was forecasted as Podz 2.0 in a scouting report I read.
That JB drafted both is telling.
Considering Zegras was our guy this year I wouldn't put too much stock in trying to forecast a player type Benning is keying in on.
-
- Baertschi is a better fit than Pearson on Bo's left and most people will realize it this year.
- Goldobin gets traded mid-November.
- Podkolzin stagnate offensively in his draft +1.

Watched the highlights and Juolevi had some sick passes this game. If he manages to get his skating up to NHL level we have a top four TWD.
