    And the worst NHL team for comparison
  2. RetroCanuck
    Sounds good to me
  3. RetroCanuck
    Sutter especially, he might even fetch a 2nd if we are lucky
  4. RetroCanuck
    Focht. He's already been quoted in wanting to resign. Lockwood could be replaced by Utunen or Karlsson in my opinion
  5. RetroCanuck
    The amount of money he would give up in that case would be huge. Doesn't make sense to do a degree you don't need when you have a promising professional career
  6. RetroCanuck
    For myself Its Gaudette in the Bigs. Showing he can be a top 9 centre while continuously growing his game. The other big news story for me is the play of Hoglander. This kid has elite skill and has the chance to fight for a spot with us next season
  7. RetroCanuck
    Sutter (50% retained) + 3rd for Kostin seems more fair to me. Tanev + Brisebois to Winnipeg for Vesalainen+ Kovacevic Schaller to Boston for Backes + 2nd
  8. RetroCanuck
    Schaller and Tanev traded. Eriksson waived if his performance remains subpar. Play MacEwen and Bailey instead of Schaller. Play Rafferty, Tryamkin and Juolevi instead of Tanev. Play a car crash dummy instead of Eriksson
  9. RetroCanuck
    this aged well
  10. RetroCanuck
    I mean, he's got to be better then Eriksson at this point, so he could easily step into our top 6 right now
  11. RetroCanuck
    Always interested in a 6ft+ Right shot defensemen. We sure could use a couple more of them in the system
  12. RetroCanuck
    Its no goal. My best guess is that the pixels of the camera overlap and thats the reason one can see the net in the image as well
  13. RetroCanuck
    Im out of team tank. Then again Im not in team playoff mode yet. This is a transitional year where the kids need to learn from some veterans as those veterans are moved out. So far Ive been disappointed with this year as guys like Eriksson and Schaller, who have no future here, are playing while guys like MacEwen sit in the press box. Need to give MacEwen and Rafferty longer looks this year while also giving guys like Juolevi, Chatfield and Lind a taste at the NHL level. Finish around the 10-15 spot on the draft. Hope for some luck and take the BPA

    This game should be a wake up call to Canucks fans as to how this is a transitional year.

     

    Now is not the future folks. The Canucks have a bright one ahead, but let the young kids grow

      Every team has lost embarrassing games like this. Let's not read too much into this. Obviously there are issues with the team, but things can be worked out.

  15. RetroCanuck
    yep, that does make more sense and its what I expect to occur. I just think a long term deal could add the canucks cap savings while giving Virtanen job security
  16. RetroCanuck
    What would you give Virtanen? I would like to see some term and think 6 years at $4.0 - 4.5M might do it?
  17. RetroCanuck
    Madden plays with more of an edge to his game and not near as high offensive hockey IQ. Although his defence is far superior to Kane in my opinion. Kane is a hard comparable, Id say a Gallagher lite type player offensively with better defence.
  18. RetroCanuck
    I actually think it will alleviate a lot of the pressure on Edler. Hughes-Tanev, Edler-Myers, Tryamkin-Stecher are three well rounded pairs

  20. RetroCanuck

    So Stoked for the Canucks budding young stars to make the jump in the next couple years! Dreaming of a potential lineup like

     

    Hoglander-Pettersson-Podkolzin

    Miller-Horvat-Boeser

    Virtanen-Gaudette-Lind

    Gadjovich-Madden-MacEwen

    Hughes-Woo

    Juolevi-Myers

    Rathbone-Rafferty

    Demko

    DiPietro

  21. RetroCanuck
    All this talk of Gaudette struggling in the defensive zone.... he's only a -1
  22. RetroCanuck
    Most rookies do. Even our all star has a lot more work to do on the dot. Im not worried about Gaudette's defence this year. He's getting used to a faster league and more skilled players in the centre position. Considering he spent most of his time last season on the wing or press box/ plane Im not surprised he's been subpar in his own zone this year
  23. RetroCanuck
    I thinks Sutter should fetch a 3rd as he's a decent shutdown centremen, maybe even at this deadline if Benning shows a willingness to move him. Baer has no value at his cap hit while playing in the AHL.

    Well 2019 was a good year for me. Graduated university, got engaged and saw the continued  growth of the Canucks young core. And no those aren't all equal ;). Heres hoping to good years for all of CDC in 2020!

     

    Happy New Years!

      good luck lad, may this year be even better.  have a brewsky on smithers joe.

  25. RetroCanuck
    We'll see how the rest of the season goes but 7 points in 15 games is not good for a senior. He should be dominating that league this year, but it appears injuries have really hampered his development
