As long as they don't do total points, because that is most unfair option available.

[ Signing ] Leafs sign KHL Barabanov to 1yr ELC
ruilin96 replied to SilentSam's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
No, Barbanov would not. He is signed after the trade deadline and the Leafs did not own his rights prior to this year's trade dead line. However, if Tryamkin signs, he would be eligible because the Canucks did qualify him before he went tot he KHL, hence, the Canucks had the rights of Tryamkin before the 2020 trade deadline. -
#11 is unofficially retired for Wayne Maki. It is the classless punk Messier who has no respect to the history of the organization demanded the #11 without the consent of the Maki family.
-
We probably could've won it if they didn't had Ferland... Oh well, let's hope we can see this Ferland 100% healthy for the Canucks soon.
-
Voted Kevin Bieksa, nominating Tanman, Chris Tanev!
-
I was referring to his junior team as well, I am aware the jersey they wear on draft day represents the year.
-
For a pure entertainment value: Colorado. Both teams play with uptempo offense, fast skating game. Every time Vancouver plays Colorado the past 2 years has been memorable and fun to watch. Lots of chances both ways seems like. For a better chance to win: Edmonton. Colorado is way too much of a juggernaut that if they are 100% health after all this, we don't stand much a chance. We can probably grind it out and beat Edmonton if we get the right bounces.
-
I hope he can come back and be the player he was for other teams too. Health comes first though. Anyway, as for the highlighted part, imagine saying this right after the 2015 playoffs lol?
-
He wore #19 in his junior team games on his draft year I think. I remember watching highlight videos of him wearing #19..
-
Would love the Canucks to give this guy a shot too. The blueline is still our biggest weakness, we need to just load up that position and hope a few of them pans out into regular top 4 D-man at the NHL level.
-
I think he wears #91 or #92. He was wearing #19 in his draft year, because #19 is retired in honour of Markus Naslund, he will just have to flip his number to #91. Or he can just carry on what he wears in the KHL right now, which is #92.

[Report] Edmonton Oiler's Colby Cave dies
ruilin96 replied to CRAZY_4_NAZZY's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Really scary stuff, praying he will make through all this -
Get rid off Eriksson would go a long way.
-
He has atleast closed the gaps by a lot. The key for OJ is being healthy, once OJ is healthy, he can be a really smart and effective players who can be depend on the log a lot of minutes. For OJ, I would like to see him become that strong 2-way defenseman we have in Edler today. I would like to see Jack groom into a offensive defenseman who quaterback the 2nd unit PP in his prime.
-
I agree. However, next year is the last year that both EP and Hughes will be on the ELC, and next year the Canucks should be an even better team. I think the Canucks should atleast try to give this team a shot to win it all starting next year (not saying we go all in and buy the big names but atleast ice a team that will do some damage in the playoffs). I think signing Joel Edmundson or Brendan Dillon (1 of 2) can improve this team's defense. And we will let the 4 prospects you mention fight it out to push for a roster spot. Ideally, Tryamkin will be that physical punishing defenseman and Rafferty or Rathbone would be the additonal puck mover. If OJ can just remain healthy, he should get some NHL games under his belt as well. Juolevi to me will be the key, if he can remain healthy and be the player the Canucks envision him to be, it will go a long way. Among all of the names you mentioned, I am most excited about Rathbone, I think he has the potential to make immediate impact when he gets inserted in the line up.
-
I will say we are definitely taken the right steps towards forwards, but Defense is far from complete. Right now, we have a lot of guys who can step in and play the bottom pairing, but I still think we lack another puck mover who can relieve the pressure when Hughes is not on the ice. I will say we lack a true physical and punishing defenseman.
-
Voted Bieksa, nominating Chris Tanev
-
Voting Bieksa, nominating Lidster.
-
Really hope this kid signs. I have a feeling he will be a very solid #2/#3 Defenseman on this team in his prime.

In the mean time I see the team just resign Tanev at the right cap hit. I doubt the Devils will want to give up Severson though. This blackhole is a result of MG era's failed drafting.
-
Tanev is a lot harder to replace than many anticipate. He logs the big minutes and he logs the hard minutes. He also allows Hughes to play the way he wants to out there because Hughes knows he can trust Tanev will be there to bail him out when he pinches. Tryamkin/Briseboi/OJ next season are 3 candidates ideally for the 3rd pair LD position. Tanev will still have to be re-signed. Would love the Canucks to be able to sign Rathbone as I think he can really be that wildcard that can make imediate impact if he makes the line up.
-
Until Podkolzin and Hoglander proves they are consistent top 6 scorers at the NHL level, I won't trade Boeser. Plus, Pearson and Toffoli will be older and in 2-3 years (even if we resign them) they will likely be 3rd line wingers instead of top 6 wingers.
-
No, everyone should be held accountable. If Olli has a good camp next season, he will be our 3rd pairing LD, if not he will have to work his way up from Utica, and I am sure by next season he will be the first call up if there is an injury. Guys like Briseboi is also close to NHL ready as well, and it does not send a good message within the organization if a guy like Briseboi out plays OJ at camp and won't make the line up because of the idea that OJ should be given a spot. I believe Briseboi is also waiver eligible starting next season, so it will be interesting to see what the Canucks do. If Tryamkin returns as well, that's 3 players fighting for the 3rd pair LD position and I still believe the best player gets the spot regardless of status and draft position.
-
Agree with most of what you say but disagree with trading away Boeser. I still think he has the potential to be a consistent 35-40 goal scorer in the league.
