    [Proposal] Crouse for Boeser

    in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing

    For whom? 

    If you base your premise on the idea that Boeser will never fully recover and a career third liner in Crowse will finally produce like a bonafide second liner (something Arizona’s been waiting 7 years for), sure, they’d be selling low. But I hope JR doesn’t think that way; that’d be the epitome of selling Boeser short and potentially overvaluing Crowse. 
     

    No matter. It’s been proven time and time again that the modern NHL rewards speed and skill, but I believe VanCity’s trauma from the Boston series still persists. Look no further than a traumatized MG pulling a 180 and going all-out for brawny less talented players. Didn’t work out for him at all.

    Well.

     

    Not much clicked tonight. JT was doing his part...some of his set ups are so beautiful. Really deceptive because he can totally make it look like he's lining up a shot but then he makes a beautiful pass that catches the goaltender off guard and out of position. His usual half dozen hits or so.

     

    Burroughs blocking shots like a warrior.

     

    Turns out I'm going to all the home games this week...Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

     

    Guess I'll see this thing through. Go Canucks Go.

    Your overly-positive fixation on Miller is getting scary, Deb.

    Pettersson Vs Hughes: Who’s the more valuable piece?

    The most coveted players in the league are superstar centres who can do it all. How many centres in the NHL can score 100 points and also have a chance at winning the Selke trophy?  
     

    There are only 7 superstar centres in the NHL. And only Petey is a Selke trophy candidate. So he is in a class all by himself. Hughes on the other hand is in a class with several other players. 
     

     Both are superstars but Petey has no rivals. He is the most complete centre in the NHL. 

    I’d ask you to tell me where you draw the line on superstar center and who those 7 are, but I fear we’d be entering a never-ending subjective discussion.

     

    I repeat: mobile, high-scoring, PP quarterback defensemen have historically been a rare commodity. Many of the posts in this thread tell me people are taking that for granted.

    Jurmo, Klimovich, Hoglander, Bloom, Rathbone, Silovs, Petey D, Johansson, Raty, Lekkerimaki.  Not sure how people can say our cupboards are bare…

    You can’t just list our prospect cupboard on its own; you have to compare it to the rest of the league’s prospect pools.
     

    I’d say that list you posted is in the bottom third. Definitely comparatively underwhelming to many teams in the league (but then again, the Canucks have never been about stocking up on prospects).
