[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Chicago Blackhawks | Mar. 26, 2023

That’s what JR was saying last year too. We needed structure in our game and a change in our core leadership. Both are done and we are seeing how improved the club is. -

(Rumour). Jake Livingstone D - NCAA - NHL Availability
Alflives replied to SilentSam's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yup. Juulsson is a nice depth guy. Hughes deserves an actual NHL player for his partner. Schenn is better than Juulsson, of course, but he’s only a bottom pairing D at best. But, yes he’s and actual NHL talent. Juulsson is not. -
Management continues to fill up our prospect cupboards. Lots of guys competing for opportunity with the big club.

Tank Watch Thread (10 games remaining), currently 8th overall selection
Alflives replied to Odd.'s topic in Canucks Talk
Canucks are getting good coaching and have an excellent core group. We will climb over a few more teams in the next 10 games too. Fans need to accept we are a very good club. No more PTBD -
[Signing] Canucks sign Max Sasson
Alflives replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
We don’t want Livingston. He’s 24 this year and is slow. He needs to improve his quickness or he’s not even a bottom pairing guy. There are reasons why these college free agents weren’t drafted. His was his feet. Others, it was their lack of size. Others lacked skill. But we don’t need a guy like Livingston, who will only accept an NHL deal right now, that skates too slow to play. I think he ends up in Detroit. He can be a slowmo there with their other slowmo. -
Yup. Stealing Hronek for (what looks like right now) the 20th pick shows the brilliance of the timing. The Wings have lost a lot without Hronek. He was their best D. Seider is now trying to carry those minutes and can’t. Adding Hronek is going to greatly help Hughes. Hughes can carry the club, but now he has help. Detroit was dumb. They could have had Hughes and Hronek. We win!

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Dallas Stars | Mar. 25, 2023
Alflives replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I think “spinning” refers to guys trying to avoid contact instead of playing in straight lines, with and without the puck. Kuz used to go that. On the Bone goal last game Kuz moved the puck to Petey in the neutral zone and took contact along the wall. He played straight through that contact and got a head of the guy trying to check him. That hard play created a gap that Kuz took advantage of to have the time to make the play for Bone. Garland used to spin a lot. But he’s improved his straight up play. -

Okay let’s say we rebuild. Which players from our core do we trade so we can deep dive to the bottom for top five picks for 3-5 years so we can draft guys who might be as good? Our core is great! It’s the perfect age (as a group) to have a run of winning years. We are retooling the supporting cast. That’s what’s needed. -

I agree. But Geisksnen is s heck of a good player too. Petey Makar Heiskanen Had there been a better top three?
