  1. And Goldy. I was always impressed the way Goldobin took his demotion. Remained positive, did everything the coaching staff asked of him, formed a potent partnership with Baertschi and the parting of the ways with the Canucks organization was amicable. But for an inexplicable unwillingness to commit to backchecking he could have been a potent career NHLer I'd love for JB to ink Karlsson and Costmar to contracts and bring them over to Abbotsford. Utunen and Zhukenov too. It's time we developed more of our own prospects instead of recycling the Veseys, Boyds and Highmores, etc
  2. I'm right there with you. In prior years never really paid much attention other than to the handful ranked around our draft spot. But this year, with so much uncertainty, it seems that anyone except maybe Powers, might fall to us. So I am avidly reading about every prospect and want any of them. (All of them !!!) Like JB says, there are about 9, any of whom we'd love to have.
  3. That'd be a shrewd move .... or the Giants. Turns 19 in February, maybe even straight into the Abbotsford farm team?
  4. Edvinsson. - understudy Edler for a year then step right in
  5. September 22 - training camps open October 12 - Regular season starts (both are target dates and subject to BoG approval) .... see https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2021/04/22/nhl-targeting-oct-12-start-date-for-2021-22-season/
  6. Nah - he'll win 4 with the Canucks
  7. Clarke Guenther Eklund Lysell Raty
  8. Interesting take by FanSided .... https://thecanuckway.com/2021/07/07/canucks-where-could-nate-schmidt-be-traded-to-part-1/ (Eye-opening stats too!!)
  9. Or maybe it was the absence of Eriksson on his line???
  10. Bowey was acquired because we had to expose in the ED a defenceman under contract who had played at least 27 NHL games this last season or 54 these last 2 seasons. Without him we'd have to make available one of Myers, Schmidt or Juolevi. He is more than likely Abbotsford bound, if not claimed by Seattle.
  11. I wonder if Hoglander will usurp Beagle at training camp as the fittest Canuck. When he first arrived, he blew the Sedins away with his conditioning. Loved his comment "That was a bag skate?" as he watched Stecher and Jake puke in the corner.
  12. Some Seattle fans think that Francis could take Eriksson in the ED if they get Schmidt in a trade for a late round pick. That works for me too - almost $12 million off the books.
  13. I liked the Nutivaara suggestion from SBNation. Plays right D and would be a natural partner for OJ. Just turned 27 last month and has 5 seasons under his belt. UFA after next season, and a $2. 7 million hit. Maybe get a 2nd or 3rd round pick with him too. What's not to like?
  14. Rangers fansite take on the situation ..... https://www.foreverblueshirts.com/canucks-cap-issues-could-be-rangers-gain-in-possible-trade-for-nate-schmidt/
  15. Interesting piece from SBnation .... https://www.nucksmisconduct.com/2021/7/5/22563133/nate-schmidt-trade-options-vancouver-canucks Summarizing (for busy readers) ... To Philly for Lindblom and a pick To Panthers for Nutivaara and a pick To Boston for DeBrusk straight up
  16. And the Twins won't want to see their buddy shortchanged if they are asked for their opinion (Probably a good reason why they shouldn't be consulted on decisions involving Edler or Eriksson)
  17. Some Seattle fans still want Jake in the ED draft - see him as potentially their "Tuch". Seems there is more tolerance for his alleged behavior in the US (cf #45)
  18. Or take the post season bubble stats ... Chychrun: 9 games, 1 goal, 0 assists Hughes: 17 games, 2 goals, 14 assists
  19. Googlie

    next year

    Last year - every bubble goal .....
  20. Another view on Canucks likely drafting a center .... https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2021/07/vancouver-canucks-targeting-center-with-no-9-pick.html
  21. The Comets unis of a couple of seasons ago - black with dark green neon hilites - were a huge hit with fans. And other teams too ..... so much so tha the Dallas Stars adopted it for their 3rd Jersey
  22. CanucksArmy's take on OJ ..... https://canucksarmy.com/2021/06/01/juolevi-mistakes-season-first-year-nhl-looked-success-2021-review/
