So has anyone noticed Schaller yet?
Is it a good thing we haven't seen him this regular season?
-
After taking the time to consider yesterday I believe this will be hands down Benning's best free agency. In my mind this coming year is still a transitional one, but the year after we will be playoff competitive. Nice to imagine how are D-corps could look in a year.
Hughes-Myers
Juolevi-Stecher
Tryamkin-Rafferty
Edler-Woo
-
That trade screams Benning wanting to save his ass and entertain the crowd.
With that said it could be a trade that works out well for us in the long run, but Miller will have to consistently score 20 goals
-
This pick tells me the Canucks have a timeframe in mind for being competitive. More of a longterm developmental pick considering the type of player, but I couldn't be more excited with the pick!
-
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

Would you trade Eriksson for Ladd?
-
Sounds like Edmonton wants to ditch Sekera. Would you trade Hutton for Sekera+Puljujarvi?
-
Glad Troy Stecher is our only RD player that can be projected with us long term because what a class act. Great player.
On a side note. Don Cherry is a joke.

@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.
-
Those times in the past you made proposals including Roope Hintz and everyone was saying he's a redundant prospect.
Kids good

I hate the no kicking rule.
NHL wants to increase scoring so why not?
Maybe make the rule you can't kick the puck in the crease or something.
-
How about if you win the lottery you aren't eligible for the spot you picked the next 5 years.
-
Well, the only consolation is that Benning has drafted some absolute stars the last 4 years no matter where he was picking. Boeser, Pettersson and Hughes are all stars while Juolevi still looks to be a top 4D.
Boldy or Soderstrom is my guess
-
You can tell the refs are getting ready for the playoffs. Putting their whistles away and letting sh!t go uncalled
-
Can someone honestly tell me that Spooner has more of a future at this club then Goldobin?
-
I don't understand Green sometimes... Baertschi first game back and on PP1?
-
Trade Sutter(20% retained) for a 2nd and a 4th.
Draft Drew Helleson and Michael Gildon with the 4th.
-
Would really like to see Goldy reunited with Pettersson to end the season. Skilled players need to play with skilled players in this league. Like really, how do you justify putting Eriksson in your top 6 over Goldy?
Goldy-Petey-Boeser
Leivo-Horvat-Pearson
Motte-Gaudette-Virtanen
-
Look at that. Leafs don't fix their defense, and have allowed 23 goals in their last 4 games as Andersson tires.
Ruining their contention years through not fixing glaring holes.

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.
-
If Nico Sturm signed with us that would really solidify our centre depth moving forward. Pettersson, Horvat, Gaudette, Sturm down the centre is something to dream about if you can find the right wingers to go with them.
-
This team lacks drive. But its our team so GO CANUCKS GO
-
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"
-
Sad how we are only 5P out of a wildcard but 6th worst in the league. The West was truly bad this year
-
Anyone have a vid/gif of the Goldy hit last night.
Biggest hit of the night even if it was an accident haha
-
@Alflives it was a collision lol but the other guy felt it .
-
So Goldy has two very good games and then gets demoted. Cant we just keep some of our best lines together and not change them up every game?

@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.
