Will Russian players be banned in the NHL?
appleboy replied to we win the cup in 2025's topic in General Hockey Discussion
If anything it could encourage more players to come over. War creates instability and could very easily effect the KHL. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
appleboy replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Miller is a great player but will he resign. What are they willing to pay him and for what term? If we were a cup contender then it would be important to sign him. -
[Rumour] Predators shopping Filip Forsberg
appleboy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I can see it happening. There is lots of Swedish connections here. Move Meyers and Garland . -
[Speculation] Canucks exploring Tyler Myers trade
appleboy replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
The new coaching staff has Meyers playing extremely well. Maybe 6 mil is a bit high but only by a mil or so. If they move him it will be to clear cap space. They would be looking for a low cost replacement. Pearson , Hamonic, Poolman and Dickinson are the issue for the canucks. All three will cost to clear. They need cap space !!! -
[Rumour] Predators shopping Filip Forsberg

Or, keep Miller and move Garland, Pearson and who ever to clear space. -
[Rumour] Predators shopping Filip Forsberg
appleboy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If they are looking to trade Filip that means they know he will not resign. He may be looking to go to open market. Maybe he wants to play on a Canadian Swedish team. -
The comments from coaching staff about our young players tells us a lot about past management. Players like Hog are not ready for the NHL. Benning refused to take time to develop our young players. They were drafted and thrown into the fire. Hog and Pod should probably both be in the farm right now. Our organization has done a very poor job of developing solid depth players. They have instead gone out and over paid vets to fill the supporting roles. There is only one way to solve this but it will take time. Several years in fact. There is no quick fix for this. The statements about finding players in Europe and signing them out of college was also stated by Benning as a way to fill our system. It didn't work. Blow this mess up and fill our system with as much young talent as possible. Develop and do this right.

[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
appleboy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I guess the Russian players could come hear and live under our dictator. LOL -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
appleboy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
He is a 26 year old who is having a good year in the KHL. Please read that a few more time. This dose not mean he is an NHL star in the making. -

So you hate CDC a lot. -
Management has to be straight with the players
appleboy replied to *Buzzsaw*'s topic in Canucks Talk
Management needs to just do what is best for the team. This is not the time to coddle the players. This club needs to get younger. Keep Demko , Hughes , Petey and some of the very young guys . I would keep Motte and just tweek the D. Miller , Horvat , Pearson , Garland and Dickison would all be on the chopping block if it was in my hands. Don't do like Benning and drag your feet until it is too late. -
[PGT] Anaheim Ducks at Vancouver Canucks | Feb. 19, 2022
appleboy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Now is the time to make moves for the future. -
For players like Rathbone and Hughes they use their quickness to play defense. They don't need to learn how to play against bigger players. They need to learn how to stay away from lots of physical contact and control the game by controlling the puck. Using a quick stick and good positional play toshut players down. Rathbone is almost as mobile as Hughes. I would love to see this young man get a chance under this coaching staff.

Let's hope Rathbone is good. -
Van + NJD [Proposal] Better balanced lineup.
appleboy replied to hammertime's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I honestly didn't look . That's a no go. There is some suggestion that it might involve Dickinson. We shall see. -
[PGT] Toronto Maple Leafs at Vancouver Canucks | Feb. 12, 2022
appleboy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
A great goalie gets you some wins. A star goalie is someone you build a cup contender around. Demko is beginning to look like a star. -
Van + NJD [Proposal] Better balanced lineup.
appleboy replied to hammertime's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Boeser for Zacha and parts. Foote, draft picks . We need cap space. Zacha can play center. Zacha and a first? As we all know Miller and Bo need contracts after next year. Before they decide to keep those two they must know they can resign them for a responsible deal. I have zero problem with building around Miller and Bo for the next 5 years. There is also a possibility that Boeser gets resigned and they move Petey to clear cap and add a few pieces. It will be interesting to see how they view things. -
[Report] Canucks hire Cammi Granato as assistant GM
appleboy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
So Ray finally got into management. Ohhhh, sorry Ray it is your wife. LOL. I like this. I think that there is a ton of talent amongst the women in hockey. About time someone taps into that pool.
