This is not a playoff team. If Edlers willing to be traded anywhere then you trade him. He does not make us playoff competitive in 2-3 years but the assets he could garner could.
-
McDavids an entitled joke. "I didn't expect to get suspended"... even though it was a clear hit to the head.
If someone had hit McDavid like that he'd be crying like the Manning incident and then that player would be suspended minimum five games.
That entire organization is a joke and that includes all the players in it.

Part of me wants to see the Canucks get lit up this game so DiPietro doesn't feel so bad lol
-
"Re-acquired and it feels so good!" haha you know your organization is in a bad place when your considering Gagner a saviour. https://oilersnation.com/2019/02/16/what-are-edmonton-oilers-getting-in-sam-gagner/
Gagner couldn't beat out Granlund, Goldy or Schaller but Edmonton fans of course think they are getting a real gem lol

Damn these injuries are coming in fast. 6 guys out tonight: Sutter, Edler, Tanev, Virtanen, Baertschi and Demko. We will probably have another injury tonight at this pace, my guess is Roussel.

@-AJ- He's becoming Salo

MacEwen is a PPG player in the NHL!!!

Canucks should be signing this kid... like now
-
Next years D lineup needs to be different, at least the bottom pairing.
Edler-Stecher
Hughes-Tanev
Hutton-Myers

@@NewbieCanuckFan Jets have little cap space when you consider what Retro just said. Also on the right side they have Buff, Trouba, and Meyers. Buff is making 7.6 for 2 more years, Trouba is making same as Meyers at 5.5 and is a RFA and is ahead of Meyers on the right side and younger. They cant afford 3 RD making 7.6, 7, and 6.5. Not to mention reupping Laine (who's going to get 10+) Connor, this year, and Morrisey in a year, etc https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/jets

Why in the absolute f.ck am I still having to watch Pouliot play on this team.
Every time he's out there he &^@#s up.
-
Crazy to think the Canucks are 18th in the league but only 5 points separate them from 28th. A lot of western conference opponents in a compact 3 week schedule before the deadline. Will be interesting to see how this team handles the pressure and whether their conditioning holds up. If they fall out of the race I can still see us becoming sellers.
-
TSN 1040 would be so much better without that Prattling idiot.
Pun massively intended.
-
If Toronto really does go all in this year and gets another RD then I can't see them any worse then the eastern conference final. Scary to imagine them with a good D core compared to what they play with now. Imagine if they did get Tanev. and went with this
Reilly-Haisey
Gardiner-Tanev
Muzzin-Zaitsev

Didn't see this tweet before, but Im glad to see Benning and Aquilini on the same page.
-
Hearing some Hutton bashing on the radio. Out of curiosity am I the only one that thinks Hutton has proved himself a top 4 defensemen this year?
-
This has to be the worst, most annoying broadcast Ive ever listened too.

Chicken strips at Tims... what is the world coming to.

If Edler is traded deadline day then he only misses 20 games as a Canuck.
Reverse way of saying it is if we trade Edler, yet promise him a contract next season, we lose him for 20 games (which could happen due to injury anyways). There are others we could audition during that time as well such as Hughes, McEneny, Sautner, Brisebois or any other players picked up in trades.
We will lose majority of those games, but is that such a bad thing considering the place we are in this rebuild. In many ways it would be silly to not trade him for such a short time assuming he see's it the same way.
-
Wow Pouliot needs to go... waive that guy
-
Will be very surprised if Winnipeg doesn't add a veteran piece or two this offseason and go for it. Quite a few RFA signings coming up and they have a deep team with lots of prospects. I think Edler would be a great fit there if he's willing to waive.
-
One thing about Winnipeg - I was lucky enough to be in the Peg last year and saw 8 games live over that time - they have an amazing D core. lames fans think they have a great defensive group but man I's like the Canucks to follow Winnipeg's model for how to build from the back end out. Definitely see them adding a piece or two for a run again this spring. I think it will be like Stastny was last year and they will pick up a player on an expiring deal as they need the cap space for next season. Or like Jimmy says they will find a cheap option.
-
Although it would hurt our team I almost wish Baertschi would retire. Concussions are brutal and to be on your fifth one and hear Baer talk the way he is makes me nervous for him. Hoping him the best life he can live so lets pray he doesn't take any more stupid headshots.

Makes me wonder if he'll be able to play anymore, if that side-swipe did that much damage. Hate to see a skilled player suffer injuries like this, before he even hits his peak. It would be nice to have Baertschi back, but the Canucks do have some depth to fill in. Baer's got to do what's right for him and his future.
-
Is Edler on the power play part of the team tank philosophy? Not sure what hes done to deserve that spot this year. Would way rather see Stecher or Hutton there but lets put the guy that has an inability to pass to Boeser.

Agree with @Western Red. Doesn't make him an awesome power play quarterback, but he is the best we have for now.
-
Canucks look tired both physically and mentally. They've had a hard schedule this year with a lot of injuries.
Not a pretty year so far.
-
Was just saying Id like to see Granny with Pettersson
That top line though is trash. Poor Horvat...
