I wonder if the Canucks don’t want to showcase players like Lind and Gadjovich to the Kraken scouts. They’re probably less likely to be taken in the expansion draft if they’ve never been playing against NHL competition.
Tampa is going to have trouble keeping their talented D next year due to the expansion draft and salary cap. I wonder if the Canucks have a shot at any of them. I’d love to see Cernak on our blue line.
He was my favourite Canuck from the 70’s as well. He had a great shot and was tough as nails. I hated to see him traded to Boston but we needed a young centre and Chris Oddleifson was a fair exchange.
R.I.P. Bobby.
Ehlers was +65 in his draft year of Junior so he was my choice. I’ve always wondered if JB made any attempt to trade up two spots with Edmonton to snag Draisaitl at number four. What a difference he could have made.
Hate to sound like a broken record but why do the Canucks constantly pass the puck backwards in their own zone to a defenceman who inevitably loses the puck and creates a scoring chance against?
