My take on Tryamkin: He should not have left in 2017. By leaving the organization, he runs the risk of losing quality development time in the NHL and he also lost his spot as the team is definitely signing or drafting other players to replace his spot in the line up. Now he plans for a return, the team have already made other plans and this just adds the extra hurdle for him to return. If he had stayed in Vancouver, and followed the instructions of the coaching and conditioning staff, he may have developed into a top 4 Defenseman by now (or he may not). However, by returning home, he has given up his spot and now it is hard for him to take it back. If the feud was really between him and Willie, then he really should've stuck around as Willie is gone immediately after the 2016-17 season.

He was on the ice with the Sedins during "The Shift" -
Lady Byng Trophy finalists unveiled
ruilin96 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
I like 2/3 of those players nominated, I hope it is one of those two that would win it. The other one doeesn't wear pants and have the world's ugliest mustache. -
Calder Trophy finalists unveiled
ruilin96 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Who should win: Quinn Hughes Who will win: Cale Makar On another note: I would have Adam Fox as the 3rd finalist. I know Kubalik's 30 goals was impressive, but his total points doesn't impress me as much (46 pts) and he is older and has pro-experience. IMO, Fox had a more impressive season with the Rangers in comparison as he was a plus player (+22) as a rookie defenseman putting up 40+ points. -
Multiple Montreal Canadiens players test positive
ruilin96 replied to Dungass's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Every thread is about Virtanen, that's how it works here -
Toffoli has always played in a defense first and tight checking system in LA, he has never played in a free flowing, high octane offense environment until he got traded here. I think his offensive input would still be better than his time with the Kings, but won't be as good as his post-TDL 10-games stint with the Canucks. I think Toffoli is more like a 25+ goal scorer scoring around 55-60 points if he is on the Canucks and gets to play consistently with EP and JT. If he plays with Horvat and Pearson, that line will have more defensive responsibilities and his production may drop slightly. But i do agree the Canucks don't need another bad contact, so it all depends on the cap hit and term.

It's really odd seeing the same player winning both the Leading Scorer and Unsung Hero award at the same time. I agree that the unsung hero should go to a guy who is less noticeable but does a lot of things right consistently helping the team game after game. Personally, my vote went to Tyler Motte.

It's because of this incident that I have complete 0 respect for Vegas and Gerard Gallant. The game was late in the season, meaningless as Vegas has pretty much clinched the Pacific Division. Game is the 3rd or 4th last game in the regular season and those weren't important points that will decide the fate of Vegas on whether or not they make the playoffs. This is the kid's first NHL goal, and assisted by 2 legends who is set to retire at the end of the week. Should've just let the kid celebrate the moment, so he can tell his grandchildren one day that his first ever NHL goal was assisted by the Sedin twins. Gallant deserves to be kicked to the curbside with his luggage waiting for a cab, and I can't wait to see the banwagon falls off for Vegas once they start to be a bad team as their core gets older.

No, that will be a horrible idea. Demko is on the verge of becoming a starter. He reminds me of Markstrom before Markstrom become who he is today. Tbh, Canucks defense is an adventure this season and we gave up way too many quality shots against, if we have just decent defensive system and limit the high quality chances against, Demko's stats would have looked a lot better.

Scouting is always a group, never a one man show. I don't deny Judd must have been a major part in our recent successes, but remember that JB was still the boss behind this whole thing. I heard no words of those regional amateur scouts in these areas left the organization, so as long as the are still communicating in the same language from top to bottom, we should still be pretty good on draft day.

Young Stars Classic returns to Penticton
ruilin96 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Make sense, I just don't think we will have a Young Stars Classic this season. We likely won't have one until things are back to normal and we can have crowd gatherings again. -
I really like the center depth this organization has going forward. Pettersson as #1, Bo Horvat as #2, and Adam Gaudette as #3. Not to mention Miller who can also play center and he is a beast in the face-off circle as well. I think the Canucks are just a couple of legit top 2 or top 3 defenseman away from being a contender.

Unpopular take, I never got the Ballard hate.
ruilin96 replied to CanadianRugby's topic in Canucks Talk
I don't hate Ballard, just didn't like the deal in general. We traded a 1st round pick, a depth roster player and a decent prospect for a player we eventually use the compliance buy-out on. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, he never got out of AV's doghouse, which made it a lot worse. I would've prefered resigning Willie Mitchell and the bring in Dan Hamhuis instead. The first round pick should've been packaged to get another top 6 scoring winger. -
