Ruins my Saturday night a little bit, but it's about people staying safe. Lots of other things to do. Looking forward to a rested Canucks team once they get going again. The Canucks D depth is getting exposed here, even though they've won games. You know it's rough when a possibly healthy Poolman gets people excited. I wonder if Rutherford makes a deal to bring in another Dman sooner rather than later.

[Discussion] JT Miller, is he tradeable?

Oddly, no. Losing Miller would suck But come Draft Day I'd be pretty darn happy -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at San Jose Sharks | Dec. 16, 2021
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
6 in a row! 8 of the last 9! So impressive they're winning with that D. Demko is incredible. Felt bad for Podz getting that puck in the face, he looked miserable and I'm sure it hurt like heck. Brock's shot is back, what a laser. Same with Bo and Miller - great shots to score. I really believe with a few tweaks to the roster, upgrading the D, the Canucks could be contenders. Demko has what it takes. The so-called "experts" would strongly disagree, but F em, they don't know. I have a feeling the league will be shut down, though. COVID or Omicron has gotten out of hand (again). I hear the Flames have 5 players left able to play. -
[Report] Canucks hire Derek Clancey as assistant GM
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Really looking forward to the Draft and seeing what type of players this new group will be drafting. Benning did draft some very good players over the years, such as: Demko Boeser Pettersson Rathbone Hughes Podkolzin Hoglander Klimovich Will this new group draft as well? -

I wouldn't put too much stock into blaming Clancey for the Penguins' drafts over the last few years. It hasn't been great, but isn't that the GM's call? -

I hadn't considered the Podkolzin affect, that would be amazing for him, to learn from and play with a Russian legend -

Malkin is a UFA at the end of this season. I'd be pretty thrilled if they signed him to a short term deal. Malkin Pettersson Horvat Rutherford said there was a lot of work to do, and I think he'll be pretty active from now until the TDL. Some players I can see leaving are: Pearson, Hoglander, Poolman, and maybe even a Top 6 player. Be great if he could snag another (2022) 1st rounder. -

Really like the pro scouting background. From what I understand, Rutherford would like a GM and then 3 A/GMs below the GM. President - Rutherford GM - ? A/GM - Clancey A/GM - ? A/GM - ? Smyl is a Special Advisor and Johnson is the GM of Abbotsford -
[Rumour] Coyotes gauging market on Jakob Chychrun
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
With the D in shambles right now Hamonic on LTIR Poolman,. Schenn and Hunt with COVID I wonder if Rutherford makes a play for Chychrun. It might cost Podkolzin+ though. That's the crappy part. EDIT - I just realized that Chychrun is also currently injured. -

What is ARI doing? Chychrun is only 23, and a really good Dman already. Shouldn't they be building around him and Keller, Hayton, etc? -

Rutherford will want to beef up the D, especially with all of the injuries. I could see him making a trade for a Dman, just not sure who. Chychrun would be great, but Rutherford isn't trading a 1st. How about Hoglander, Rathbone and a mid-round pick? Those guys are still really young and have a bright future. They could continue to develop well with Hayton and Keller, etc. -
I like how up front Rutherford is. He's not kidding that there is a lot of work ahead, and it's going to take a while to get this team right. Rutherford mentioned the Canucks are in the wrong part of the cycle to be trading 1st rounders. I guess Benning didn't get the memo on that. I'm really glad to hear that though, because VAN will have a 1st next year. Who knows, maybe Rutherford (and the new GM) will be shrewd and get VAN another 1st. Rutherford did mention the D being an area that could be better, so I think that may be the first trade, for a Dman. They'll probably get the new GM in there first though.

Sounds like the new GM could be Patrik Allvin (currently A/GM in PIT)
