    Jay Beagle | #83 | C

    I can say that the thing I like the most about Jay Beagle is how he has changed the PK usage of Bo Horvat.
  2. Maybe but they were tracking him, hacking and holding already last night. Just doesn't seem to slow him down like it did the twins. He slithers around on the ice and makes a pass or hops back up and chases down the puck. I think the inability to stop him from pursuing the puck by any means is why the 'alien' nickname sticks.
  3. Didn't take 14 minutes to get his 1st. Wow.
  4. Also some rumours about that if Gagner clears he may have a trade destination with retained salary. I assume that means that the Canucks would prefer someone does claim him and take the whole salary.
  5. Which to me means Archibald and Gaunce get waived and Motte and Gaudette go down with them. That would bring us to 13 forwards assuming no injuries. My issue with this is Ericksson and Gagner make the team. Unless Gaudette gets a few points between now and Saturday.
  6. I hope Demko gets another game or part game this preseason. May not though.
  7. I just don't want to see Lind or Gads sent back to juniors for a 20 year old season. Even though that would mean I could see Lind play a few times live this year.
  8. I just hope the logjam at forward in Utica does not push our young projects off the team. Gonna be some tough decisions to let these kids make it the next level.
  9. And beyond the past injury there is the logjam on the left side too. So Brisebois and Juolevi are getting less ice time due to Edler, Mdz, hutton, pouliot and sautner all being waived eligible while they are not.
  10. I agree with both these points. Still was disappointed he was sent down so soon. I know it speaks somewhat to the LHD depth vs RHD but Chatfield is one player who is still up I feel GB is ahead of.
  11. I thought OJ was great. Didnt notice mistakes. Saw good simple plays. Nice passes. Sprung guys free of checks with lead passes a few time. Sautner was more noticable. Saw a few mistakes. A very deserved and needless cross checking penalty when he cross checked a player 3 times and off his feet twice in 10 seconds. Saw him do that in less extreme circumstances again and again. That should be an easy fix but needs to be done. I can see why he played well for the Canucks dow the stretch. But that cross checking habit will get called and called in the early season.
  12. Don't know how we keep Petterssen, Dahlen, Gaudette and Goldobin up though. Think we need to waive something like 7 guys if we do that. And that is just forwards. I expect we waive 2 or 3 d men too. MDZ looked awful last night for one.
  13. If EP has slow start it wont be because he is adjusting. His play last night shows his slow starts are because he teammates are surprised by what he does and THEY need to adjust to keep up.
  14. I hope we get Pettersson playing with someone who can bury those breakaways and setups a little more than Goldie and Baer did last night. Kid should of had 5 assists. And that power play is gonna be gold when you open it up with Boeser on the left wall. EP dishes like Hank and shoots like Boeser. OJ up top and Bo down low the fifth body wont much matter.
  15. I think one issue for Quinn is if he doesn't sign after this season he could end up making the NHL after younger brother Jack who almost certainly plays in the NHL next year. No competitive brother wants that!

    Brendan Gaunce | C/LW

    If Gaunce can play like that consistently he is a second to third line guy. Problem is he doesn't shoot, doesn't go to the net and doesn't get involved enough most of the time. Brendan has the smarts and the skill. So far he has lacked the will. He had his back against the wall this pre season, will we see very soon if that changes how much he wants to stay here.
  17. I hope Bo and Brock both get pushed to the second line. If that happens.....how good are we with a first line of three players better than Bo and Brock and a 1B line of them and the next best LW?
  18. I say if we get Jack or someone comparable he goes between Dahlen and Petterssen. Leaves a Bo Brock second line a Gaudette based third a Sutter based 4th. Don't need Beagle and Petterssen is first replacement for the top 6 centers.
  19. I wonder how much the duos concept is going to be prevalent in the new age of Canucks. do we have the new swedish duo? do we build a line for years out of bo and brock? we have gads and palmu. who pairs up with hockey gaud?
  20. Honestly think eventually Sutter stays and Beagle goes.
  21. And what is wrong with seeing how he does in training camp and having his coach and GM decide from that what the best course of action is? I can tell you that I certainly don't want you making the decision.
  22. Only problem with that is I see him battling with Gads for those minutes and Gads is progressing way faster.
  23. Nah, were gonna love our home grown draftees we see grow up not the UFA signings. Expect maybe Dahlen, we can make an exception for EP's sidekick that Burr bought us. Lol.
