  1. So much potential in Kuzmenko, have to keep this player.. he’s only just realizing how good he is in this league, I hope he watches his own tapes and sees it. Give him a green light to be more selfish , his move meant is similar to Bure (SIMILAR) and a Summer training here will bring dividends.
  2. That suspension against Arron Rome was BS . I don’t think he had or was considered a previous offender,. And the hit occurred within a second of the puck released. Rome was wired for that series, and his energy was a big piece of that club. Yes 94 , Hard to find teams like that anymore, grit skill and determination.
  3. Hopefull the younger ones on CDC. and some of the players will see the show of strength and physical prowess the Canucks Culture was here when watching the tribute tonight. it wasn’t just Gino, some big boys who player hockey hard who played hard.. blue collar through and through. we need it here again
  4. That’s what a Captain should do,. Just sayin. nice straight throws, beauty that he’s a lefty, surprise surprise m. f.
  5. Miller is still on Pace for roughly 80 pts on a poor team .. and has played consistently for us this way since his time here. Always different line combos for him too. I doubt if Bo puts together 3 seasons like or close to this one.
  6. I do think though that the NHL has an identity it must portray, It’s ideals need to be protected, and perhaps vetting players , and letting them know the NHL has an identity that they expect all players to represent. If a player like this dosent agree with that standard, then they do not need to play in the nhl. Just a thought.
  7. For example.. What B Sutters abiiities were supposed be , and his Injury status was over consecutive years hurt this team . That’s a prime example of what I think you’re trying to portray here,. And I agree. The “Team” line balances get hurt dramatically when those relied on go down. you can’t write a contract for a guy for an 82 game season , when he can not play one. Games played is as important as points. I hope Kuz resigns here, and I think he will.. he’s solid, a great duo with EP, and will bring fluidity with Podz and Klimo. I think the attention now should be signing Kuz and trading Bo. Bo will bring more , and I’m sure will go to UFA as I’m sure that’s the market his Agent is willling to take him to.…. and at that point, things may rearrange enough for Bo to return if needed.
  8. I think a lot of scout attention is going to NCAA right now. #freebird
  9. If Horvat doesn’t sign here before TDL, he will be traded. Unless that trade guarantees his signing with the “new” team, What comes back to us is less than what a lot of people imagine.… perhaps a pick and a prospect, and that includes Horvat going to UFA , which I think is where this is heading. I don’t think there are too many teams willing , or in the position to pay more than 8m for multiple years based on Horvats career before this one. It would be good if Horvat and management actually made a stance on this and announced it. Move it or lose it , works both ways.
  10. Daniel Gee follows all the Canuck prospects , and generally keeps an eye on the top 30 skaters world wide, including NCAA. He shares video study and reports on Twitter on a regular basis, and has for a few years now. Well worth the “Follow”.. he is a source of his own and many. ps, I find Faber reports a lot of what Gee releases, But find Faber is dialed in on the Farm in Abby diligently. both would make a great tandem in any hockey reporting duo to Vancouver.

  11. I appreciate what you’re saying here Jay, but the Canucks ridk losing a player that potentially looks better than any pick or prospect that they might get in any trade. I get his age, but the upside he has after only 1 nhl season would not, if I was a manager, want to risk losing to another team or free agency. The right thing is to obviously have the discussion with him, and hopefully sign him to a 2- 5 year deal that at least protects his movement for 2 seasons. I think he stays for around 4.5 to 5.5 with the “right” contract. He obviously likes Vancouver, new mates in EP, Podz Hogz Mihkey, hell just about anyone here. Move Bo for picks and prospects, perhaps the more we retain with what’s left on Bo’s contract, the more/ far more we get back. Bo Will probably go UFA anyway. Move Brock for the same an retain.. that % is off the books in 2 years. Moving Kuz (975k) dosent help us Re-sign anyone . moving anyone else does.
  12. Garland helmet was damaged after that punch, Lazar went on.
  13. I think everyone deserves an explanation from the referee
  14. I too think 6 mil is too much . Seems to be the norm of overvaluation by a lot of CDC ‘rs . I think his contract would be around the same value as Mihkey , around 4.75m per . Perhaps a bit better as Kuz looks great and gets points in the pp . 4.75 - 5.5m per ? we should have let Boeser walk, The 7.5 QO predetermined that he was not playing up to value.. we should have moved away, that was our opportunity to clear 6+mil. I said that then. But everyone here loves favs signing a hometown contract for our draftees, and thought it was great at 6.5 BEREAVEMENT should have a clause in the CBA that allows for player and management to push contract expiration dates to suit an agreeable deadline between 2 parties, player and Team. id still rather move from Bo Myers and Brock at or before the TDL , even with retainment of salaries or future considerations. change the culture dosent mean sacrificing more future, it means changing the status quo.
  15. I’d rather clear the Cap space of underachievement on this team, even if it means retaining cap .. than move those with a bright future like Kuzmenko.
  16. .. and why are we trading him? .. sounds like he’s the guy to keep . Bo Brock and Myers need to go.
  17. A very late 2nd as rental, unsigned going UFA to a playoff team. Highly doubt any better.
  18. He is a UFA this Summer, your guaranteeing he signs with the team he goes too? He is a UFA , traded as a short term rental for a playoff run, not going to get you more than a 3rd, barely if .. very late 2nd round pick. I’d keep him over others.
  19. If Kuz is traded unsigned as a rental going UFA , he is worth a 3rd rnd pick . If he signs here, it’s to stay here, not traded.
