RetroCanuck

Or if you still want some more size then bring up MacEwen for a bit

Schaller's like a shoe horn, you don't really need one.

Eriksson's like a lighter and who need's one?

What's a schaller

Hughes - Myers

Edler - Barrie*

Juolevi -  Tryamkin

Woo

Rafferty

With Rathbone probably going pro (hopefully). Don't sleep on this kid.

I like the way the teams shaping up, JB is not just building a 1 yr wonder but a SC contender for years to come, Just be patient.

I think his goal has always been to make the playoffs and draft well.

Now we have a good chance to do that, and depending on his future trades and signings, it may be guaranteed.

If we make the playoffs, our 2020 1st would be 16-31.

Those picks can always be reacquired realistically IMO.

this pick at 10 oa

tells me that outside of the top 3 - 5 picks each draft

the rest of the 1st round need a season or 2

before they mature enough to crack an nhl line up

so yeah, unlikely he could step into the nuck line immediately after being drafted

most fans are very excited about our young talent

but none, no one, stepped right onto the team after being drafted

so nothing really to see here

100% yes. 

I probably wouldn't. Ladd has 4 years left on his deal, Loui has 3. Also, the last year of Eriksson's contract can be bought out for cap relief ($1M signing bonus, $3M salary), but every year of Ladd's contract is buyout-proof.

If you were asking 3 years ago yes. He played 26 games and 11 points this year.  

And he's 33 years old. 

Pass. 

Puljujarvi is no longer waiver exempt.  There was tension with Edmonton because he didn't want to play in the AHL and they wanted him to develop further in the AHL.

Nope..broke down d-man and a probable bust. Hard pass.

For sure I would. Don't think they'd give up on Puljujarvi that easily though.

@smithers joe- haha dont get me wrong. Woo's projection is a top 4 player and I believe he can be that, but he still needs to do it.

Stecher is the only professional RD player we currently have that can be projected to be here in 3 years. Woo, Rafferty and Chatfield all might prove to be NHLer's but nothing is guaranteed.

The Flyers got to the Finals with an entire blueline consisting of six left side D.  Course, one of those six was Chris Pronger (in his prime).  Now, all we gotta do is get/acquire a behemoth like that.

Jet Woo, Brogan Rafferty are going to be here sooner rather than later. 

Sign Schenn, he's a good soldier and his play down the stretch deserves at least another 1 year contract. 

That's a good feeling. Most people probably judged him off his NHL rating though.

Well the NHL has met you halfway RetroCanuck.  Any kicked in goal against us counts as a goal (game 7 OT goal in our series with the Flames the year they won the Cup).  But any goal that *appears* to be directed via a kick by us is automatically disallowed.

I mean if we’re being technical it’s because this is hockey and not soccer. 

Do they get their name on the cup for rigging a series?

Nah, they're just helping the Canucks improve their draft lottery odds.

Maybe as the season gets older they just get tired and dont have the wind to blow the whistle?

Boeser, Pearson, Leivo, Virtanen, Baertschi and Rousell as it stands now will be our top 9 next season in my opinion. Ideally Virtanen and Rousell get shifted down to the 4th line with additions though.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Goldy here next training camp though. Make it seem like a fresh start and if he cant cut it then you trade him if you can or waive him.

Honestly Green isn't making a lot of sense with his decisions lately.

we all do.

I'm surprised he didn't put Pouliot on the PP1

Why not?  They're only playing for pride at this point.

trade him to who, which team will give us a 2nd and 4th. need to know which team will do this?

i’ld rather see jake with petey and brock. goldy looks good at times but if he isn’t creating offence, he isn’t helping this team. hopefully jake can learn to be petey and brock’s burrows. 

goldy might flourish on a line with gaudette and roussel, if he is still on the team, next season. i suspect he’ll be moved, but i’ve been wrong before.

I think Goldy is done here. Green was petty blunt when mentioning he's had 2G and 2A since before Christmas. In Green's words, he has to produce to stay in the NHL. Doesn't look good.

Rumour hasit they're converting Nylander into a Norris calibre Dman this summer.

Like, the guy wouldn't really have to change much as is, he's so responsible and gritty. Best signing ever.

A guy who can play every position.

Hahah- suck it chranna

Craig Button has brought it up several times this season, but the Leafs are often way too aggressive when pressuring the puck carrier. When you spend that much time chasing players around, it's inevitably going to lead to blown coverages and odd man situations.

The Leafs coaching staff needs to realize that they don't have the horses to play defense consistently this way and make some adjustments.

Babcock is overrated.

I see Madden more as a winger in the future that can fill in as C with injuries. Plus I think Madden has top 6 potential and we aren't moving Bo or Petey.

Is he related to Marco Sturm?

sturm can also play left wing. would look great besides bo.

Looks like a tank is empty deal to me.  Come home, a bit of rest then hopefully a better showing.  Just want to see them skating hard...win or lose.  GCG

I mean this team has basically been Pettersson offensively carrying them on his back all year. He looks really tired to me and I agree with you that the whole team is to a certain extent. Hutton and Stecher have been playing crazy minutes due to our back end and they looked tired last game. Errors they haven't been making are occurring due to their fatigue.

Hughes is probably thinking. "I dont want to play for them right now... Id make them better and if their poor play keeps up they might get to draft my brother"

Now 7, 8 pts back of WC slot. Time to start thinking next yr...

Goldy hit someone?  Way to go Goldy!!!!!

@Alflives it was a collision lol but the other guy felt it .

I must've missed it during my 2nd period nap. 

I think the reason Goldy is on 3rd line is to see what Pearson can do on Petey's line

i think goldy needs to play with 2 strong defensive responsible players. i don’t see him as a top six player, so where is he suppose to play?

@smithers joe Goldobin is top six or bust. He has to earn his way for his spot, so this is a challenge for him to see if he can stick.
