  1. We are buying out Holtby and did not sign Kielly.   

     

    Appears we will need to fill out the goaltending depth now.  I have no issue running Demko and Dipietro if those are the best two goalies.  But Abby needs goalies and we need injury back up.  I know we have a couple more but I dont really see any NHL injury replacement or competition for Dipietro.  

     

  2. My only concern with OJ is he seems to have an issue struggling to turn one way and gets beat on that side.  Injury? Strength?  Not sure.  But that needs to get fixed and if it does he is great.

  3. We need to be thinking forward and should have been all season with the decisions made in the off season.  

     

    Juolevi should have been in the lineup all year.  

     

    Rafferty and Rathbone should have had a chance.  They haven't.  

     

    Lind and Gads should have gotten a chance before Vesey, Boyd and Highmore.    

     

    This is why I would fire Green.  Not because we didn't make the playoffs, but because we hurt next years team and the year afters team by how Green handled this year.  

     

    Just my humble opinion.

  4. Time for Rathbone to get a game.  

     

    Elder out one more.   

     

    Would love them to give Quinn Juolevi and Rathbone a run on the left side and see what the future holds.  Use three Vets on the right and see what happens.  

     

    Really think Jack and Juolevi should have been in the lineup all year.

    Right now, I think Jack is a better Dman than OJ and should be in the line up.  Jack and Jett were a great pairing in Utica during his short time there. B)

    I agree Jack could be better than OJ.  But both are better than Benn and some nights Elder.

    How about you let up and I will keep telling it like it is....

     

    Fox ...Jack's old D. partner is ripping it up now and Jake is/will be better...it is not hype if it is the way it is....

    I tend to agree.  I like Rathbone better than Fox.  But I think you highlight the Canucks development problem by suggesting he is anywhere near as good as Fox.  Fox was given a chance and played in the NHL from the get go.  Rathbone was buried and is playing behind players he is better than.  I would argue Juolevi is too.  And that some of the Canucks struggles this year have come by leaning on Hughes too much and playing Benn, Chatfield, Myers, Hamonic and at times Elder ahead of younger more capable d-men that will be herr longer and improve faster with more time on ice.  And also that Elder would have played better if managed better and rested here and there.

    Keep em both. Why are we moving Gaud?  phasing in younger guys if we want to move someone move out Sutter or someone else.

    Yup.  Keep them both.  Lind can make Gaud relevant.

    I really really wish the bubble would have more media content for fans.

     

    i would love see Rafferty on the ice with the team at practices. 

    Practices?  What practices?  

     

    As I understand it no practices and limited game day skate time.

    That's my thought.

     

    In 2-3 years time, we will need to replace Sutter and Beagle. 

     

    And we also need more depth at RHD.  Who knows, maybe we can snag a future Edler.

    We have Jasek knocking on the door of 4th line center and Gaudette as third and want a 4 line scoring team.  Not sure why you think we are weak where we are well stocked.

    He took a 8 on the first hole and never recovered to say the least. 

    If his golf game is what you are concerned about then you envision the Canucks future goals quite differently than I do.  Lind is not a mental midget on ice.

    Rafferty with the dangles in tight to win it in OT.

    The D man on that play is former Canuck prospect Gustav Forsling who is having a pretty good AHL season himself.  Not good on that play though.
