  1. Canucks select the defenceman with the highest upside in this draft, Tom Willander, a mean piece of business, who is right handed. They fill a very big positional need

      @Sean Monahan I'd be plenty happy with a Sergachev or Chycrun too :P

      @filthycanuck 3 years is plenty long to judge a GM when you've got Mcdavid and Draistaitl.

  3. Currently, a .607 point percentage is the playoff line. We're at .484, so we'd need to win about the next 10 games straight to have that point percentage. We're not as close to the playoff line as many are making it out to be.

     

    That said, as Gabby has said many times, it's about being consistent over the long haul. Don't worry about winning 10 straight, worry about winning 2 out of the next 3 games and keeping that going.

      It's crazy that a six game win streak still has us 4 points back from the playoffs... and that's with 3 and 4 games in hand respectively on Edmonton and Colorado. Just goes to show how bad those first two months really were!

  4. Draisaitl is better because of Mcdavid however Draisaitl is not that great because of Mcdavid. Is Draisaitl #2 in the world behind Mcdavid?

      On the one hand I would say, "yeah probably." On the other hand I would appeal to their playoff history and ask if they can really be considered 1 and 2 given their lack of any form of success in the post season?

  5. Just saw a comments on twitter, where someone said JP Barry mentioned Petey is looking for term and 10+M per season.  Am I in the minority that doesn't like those figures?  He's had injury history already, so I seriously question that amount.  Personally, I think a bridge under 8M should be answer, and if there is term, nothing over 9.

      Wow. He really hammered Tampa getting better bang for the buck due to tax structure. I don't know that I've heard an agent say that before.

  6. Miller is too good of a player to be performing this badly. This system, whatever it is, broke him

      @mll to be fair.... there was a good chunk of the backend of last season where the team was trending in this direction. The playoff performance made me think it was just young guys being tired out at the end of the season, but I'm starting to think there may be other possibilities....

  7. Lol imagine the chaos if Ovechkin gets to free agency?

      We could finally sign that elite right handed winger for the twins!

  8. Rumours continue. How long does JB last?

    1. J-Dizzle

      I'm with @stawns on this one.... it might happen but I haven't seen anything to actually substantiate the idea that Benning's on his way out.

  9. Chances that Boeser could win the Rocket Richard this year? He wouldn't need to stay hot for as long

    1. J-Dizzle

      J-Dizzle

      He's definitely elevated his game to another level. You could see it coming in the playoffs last year but it didn't quite click.... it's clicking now. Rocket Richard.... who knows.

  10. On that first Boeser goal..That pass by Hughes, You kidding me!?!

    1. J-Dizzle

      J-Dizzle

      It definitely seemed to go unnoticed. It was unreal though, you could totally see him look back and find Boeser while he was on the ice.

  11. What do you think? Elliotte said one name he has heard linked to the Canucks is Slater Koekkoek. Dhaliwal mentioned him earlier today as well.

      Left handed, never seems to have lived up to the hype of a 10th overall.... doesn't seem like a fit but what do I know.

    Just a reminder of what a class act Boeser is. Shame on you, Sekeras...

      Obvious trade candidate :picard:

  13. Who’s one prospect you’re really disappointed he never panned out? For me it’s Hunter Shinkaruk. Dude had sweet hands and was overall really good when he was drafted.

      @canuktravella using games played might work in a lot of comparisons but not when a guy is forced to retire due to medical reasons.  Calling Hodgson a bust is just flat out wrong.

  15. Omg what is this world coming to? My son tells me PE was lame today because they had to play Doctor Dodgeball.

    I say "Lame? What's lame about Dr Dodgeball? That game is awesome!"

    He says "We have to play with underhand throws only. No sidearm, nothing. Totally lame. And it only counts if it hits below th waist"

     

    The system is raising a generation of absolute wimps. What a bunch of horse$&!#

      @luckylager.....I mean I'm not saying I like the way it is lol, just aware of it.  If you go the locker route make sure to have someone recording, good passive income while you're in the slammer if you post that thing on youtube :bigblush:

      @Green Building I lived in Oregon for a little while (during middleschool) there was an upstairs studio for wrestling that was all mats... including the walls.  We played dodgeball in there, it was incredible.

      I get it BUT.... all it takes is one manchild smoking an 80lb teenage girl in the head resulting in a concussion and the school has a lawsuit on their hands. 

       

      And... before we all throw stones at 'the people who would do that'... even the best of us would - at the very least - look at the options if one our kids got hurt as the result of something that was preventable in a gym class.  I'd like to think I'm one of the ones who would be reasonable and fair but the very fact that I'd probably at least think it through tells me there are likely a good number who wouldn't bat an eye taking the school to town over something like that.  

       

      It's the world we live in unfortunately.... tragically there's essentially no such thing as an honest accident anymore.

  18. Markets are taking a beating today.  Scary to think how far the plunge will be over the next weeks/months.

  19. Luongo made his choice. Lets leave the rafter space for someone who's heart is here.

      @Trebreh ROH is a gimme...By my count there are 6 players in franchise history who were better Canucks than Luongo.... guess where they're all hanging out :o

      @Curmudgeon that bit about his heart/wife is just blatantly untrue.  Luongo and his wife were pretty involved in the community, whether she called Vancouver her full time home or not; and Lu was painfully obviously committed to this team the majority of his time here.  IF his jersey wasn't going up in Florida he'd be a candidate... I say ROH.

    Still tired:  Dale Tallon being hired

  24. Rumours of Benning talking to NJ.

    Since we know they're selling, I wonder if Benning is not actually going after Simmonds, but rather Subban.

    With say half of his salary retained, it would be a more reasonable acquisition and not as expensive as other RD's out there.

    Benning has shown interest in the past.

    Just a thought.
