Brisebois ... such a steadying influence. Low panic level (like Tanev)
I never understood why opportunity has not been given to him thus far?

There is a 15% chance a player drafted in the 5th round plays more than 99 games in the NHL.
There is a 16% chance that player drafted in the 6th round does.
Maybe a better trade would have been our 5th round pick for Carolina’s 6th round pick!
These statements are articulated incorrectly. Too often we misinterpret this information as “by chance”. It is not by chance. It is the average ratio of drafted to success of more than 99 games. The data may suggest that 15% of all 5th round picks have success of 99 or more games. (Disclaimer: I don not deny or confirm the numbers provided above.)
‘But not all teams are equal. Some have a vastly superior process, understanding, …BETER TALENT at assessing and different team processes for nurturing their players. This is dependant on team values, capacity, talent, management, coaching, facilities, and many other contributing factors that make success conducive within their respective environments for player development. I would suspect that some teams far exceed this 15% success ratio from their draft past the 4th round?. Does Anyone have any data to support? -Much appreciated.

I would trade Miller to Minni for Mathew Boldy and Carlo Rossi…plus?

This needs to be addressed by the NHL!
I find it hard to believe that the NHL is still condoning spitting on the ice. I see it every game. Not only is this action classless, but disrespectful to the fellow players and coaches, and to all; in consideration of Covid. We must do all we can to protect players, coaches, staff, family and community.
Not sure of the ramifications of transmitting Covid it may have; but conventional wisdom would suggest maybe this is not a good idea.
How long does Covid live on the ice? Can Saliva on the ice still be contagious weeks later?
Could this be a contributing reason why so many players and coaching staff get infected?
Time to evolve and get with the times.

So confused with Green????? WHY DOES GREEN CONTINUE TO HAVE PEARSON ON 2ND LINE?????
Traded for Garland with need offensive players on 2nd line?
1. Miller - Petey -- Boeser. ---Switch Boeser and Hoglander for some shifts if anything...
2. Hoglander - Horvat --Hoglander
3. Pearson - Dickinson -- Podkolzin
Pearson is solid but lost scoring touch look at last year?? Not once has Pearson been off Horvat's wing 5 on 5?
Yet he will mix every other line up after 10 mins??
I am second guessing Green? Keep Pearson on 3rd line...
I would like to see:
1. Garland - Miller -- Podkolzin
2. Hoglander - Horvat --Boeser
3. Pearson - Petersson - Bailey
4. Motte -Lammiko -Dickinson
PP1 Garland-Bo- Pods
OEL Myers
PP2. Boeser Miller PeteyHughes Poolman
Miller and Bo-Horvat can switch up.

I wonder what the hold up is.. Is it JB and ownership trying to nickel dime?? They got cap space to make a reasonable offer... They had the whole summer to figure it out but nope... Just need to drag on till start of season.... In the end, it's the team and fans that suffer!! Hughes and Petey don't owe us anything... They won't mind missing games if it means maximizing their $$$!
I disagree.
They owe the Vancouver fans. We deserve more.
Yes, both players deserve to be paid. But considerations to the Vancouver fans who also deserve to support a winning team. ‘Team’ being the focus here. They have to leave something on the table for their present and future team members to also receive fair compensation. They also should respect what ownership and management and team are trying to accomplish. All should be putting the team first to reach the ultimate goal. They have to leave space for the GM to manoeuvre to improve the team. You do not want a Toronto scenario here where they have trapped and painted themselves into a corner.…and just because a desperate GM of another franchise has chosen to self preserve or make a terrible decision by over paying its top tier players; should not be the only consideration to set the market price of a player comparable. As noted by another; send Hughes to New Jersey to let the brothers decide who should take a pay cut. This is just cutting to the point. It’s a team of brotherhood. It’s about their fans, it’s respect to ownership and GM and coaches and fellow team players. It should not be just about a me attitude. Ownership is leaving nothing on the table. They alway spend near to the cap limit.

He shouldn't be on your wishlist because of his inconsistency. Inconsistency can't be ironed out like we all know. Jake Virtanen is the best example what inconsistency can do with a player.
Even though I watched some highlight videos from Lysell and all i can say is that i am very impressed about his speed, ability to finish and his agility. Do the Canucks need another undersized forward in the top 6 in addition to Hoglander? Do Canucks another smallish forward who will be outmuscled along the boards? Lysell is not going to win puck battles along the boards in north america, neither in the AHL nor on the big stage.
3 points in 26 SHL games with Lulea isn't great either for a so called "top-prospect".
I expect him to go somewhere between 15 - 20.
I disagree,
From what I have read, he has a motor that won’t quit.
Yes, he challenged himself as an 18 year old to play in the SHL.
He did not get the minutes; therefore the numbers were not great.
if this is what you refer to inconsistent?

Definitely good to know! I’ve actually changed my top preference to Dylan Guenther. This kid is the real deal in my opinion. My hope is that other teams prioritize C’s and D’s so that Guenther drops to us.
I am surprised few have Fabian Lysell as their top choice.
Yes, It would be nice to fill a position of need like a centre or RD…but always take the best player available.
He fits the current mold and template for Canuck drafting. Speed, intelligent, a no quit motor, 200 foot game. Fastest player in the draft. Relentless hound. Heh…and he is Swedish …not a bad thing.
Consensus of ratings is @ 9. SOME FEEL he should be number 1.
DOBBER has him 3rd overall.The negative is his size. The same size as Bure.
5’10 172lbs. With a great motor and uses his speed effectively.

I didn't say Markstrom should have skated out - I said I would have - less embarrassing - and makes your team embarrassed instead. I know - as I speak from experience when I used to play - nothing worse than a 3 or 4 on nothing and you look down the ice and your team mates are standing there, or going for a line change - at least have the guts to try and get back to help.
The only solution prior to this was; not to have Markstrom charge to the puck and repeat last weeks error, but take a too many men on the ice penalty by coming off the bench to stop play. Yes we would incur ridicule, but it would give us opportunity to fight another play. Lol

Podz is already NHL size and and strength. Leave him there for a year and revisit it in the fall.
Plus he is only seventeen and still probably growing.

For me...
I think Newhook is under rated.
He seems like a possession player with a high ceiling. I dont understand why some say he has poor skating...
Players I would choose with high celings:
Newhook
Boldy
Broberg

So you joined 4 years ago and waited until today to make a proposal to trade off the next Canuck captain?
No,
Although I did not start too many threads, I did make others prior to this one.
I see no relevance to your line of questioning though? What are you trying to suggest by remarking that I did not start a thread in 4 years?
My previous account had been lost.

Why do some fans want us to be in a perpetual rebuild. As soon as we get a player performing and entering their prime, its....hey, let's trade him for draft picks and roll the dice again!
Guaranteed player, performing in the NHL at a good level, ALWAYS trumps a draft pick where you have no guarantees.
Because, our 10th pick in this years draft will likely not mature for 2 more seasons.
To me, It makes sense to have our team mature together. Plus as I already stated; we dont have enough depth.
Getting 2 to 3 players for one gives us much better opportunity; should we think this years draft depth offerings makes sense.
And having a possible 3-5 players ready at the same tine in 2-3years would be impactful.
My philosophy... we should never be in the position of a "full" rebuild, But ownership and previous management ficked-up...
Building should be in a continious flux to improve, maintain and leverage for best opportunity while being in contention.
Ideally, always a minimum of being in the playoffs.
Just my two cents..

First, I love Bo Horvat,
But I think I would trade for Colorados' First round picks: 4, 16 and their 2nd second(47) for Bo Horvat.
Colorado is ready now to make a push now. Vancouver needs more quality and depth.
This would give us more completion for the rebuild.
What do you think?
Does it make sense for both sides?

Yes,
We have supported the Canucks for any years.
Now, in return…Ownerships’ unwise decision send us off. No commitment to the fans in return?
They do not support their fans! What a poor I’ll advised decision.
F. Aquiline: Was this a decision by you because of media and personal attacks on you by your immediate family. (Wife and children)? You can not control media even when you own it!
