The more playoffs I watch nowadays, the more I want to see JV in the playoffs....

Congratulations, Honey badger! He was an inspiration to many and played like he had two hearts pumping from each side.

Swedish Newspaper: "The fear of Elias Leaving"

I think it will be important to note where the bar is set by Brock this summer. -
Did Travis Green mishandle Nikolai Goldobin?
LowerMainLander18 replied to *Buzzsaw*'s topic in Canucks Talk
I think it was somewhat unavoidable. Things could have been different about his development if he were, let's say, in Washington organization. But we are a rebuilding team and because we were pushed to be somewhat competitive, opportunities were allocated to those that could best help the team win now. If Green put Goldy in the lineup, (unless miraculously, Goldy showed exponential growth), it may have benefited Goldy more but resulted in worse development for other players. It was just not the optimal situation for both parties involved. Yet, I would not say who was at fault and vice versa. Goldy is a skilled forward and I believe he can be a regular NHLer. I am just not sure if he will get more opportunities here. Sorry that his confidence/ development suffered this year but it was for the benefit of the team. I just wish he showed up earlier with more urgency so he could force the coaching staffs to keep giving him opportunities. (exactly what Biega and Gaudette did. Maybe Motte and Schaller, too) -

Good to see Quinn looking so much more comfortable as he plays more games.. Definitely see something special in him. -
Queues.

Very good skater with good hockey IQ and very good at distributing the puck. London's offence came off his stick. He utilized the stacked 2016 london team really well. When we drafted him, we believed that Juolevi drove the offence for that london team.

I am not sure if OJ will be the type of Offensive D he was in juniors. Or we may not have drafted Quinn. I think he will be more of a reliable, smart, first-pass kind of D for us.. maybe like Tanev but with more shots through and less Defensive instincts. I like where OJ is starting out tho. Low expectations so he has a lot less to lose (compared to Quinn) and plenty to gain. Wish him the best summer of his life.

Gudbranson NOW officially The WORST PLAYER in the League
LowerMainLander18 replied to RU SERIOUS's topic in Canucks Talk
No he's not. Trade him away and see what happens to our young core. If I were playing against Canucks, I would love to take a run at them without Guddy in the lineup. He's an element we need in the lineup. It's just that we lost two of our Top 4 D due to injury right now and that Guddy is forced into a situation he's not known to be adept at. It's not Guddy costing us games right now. It's more like lack of finishes and not hitting the net that's costing us. -
If and only if Gaunce has the hockey IQ of Beags.... I don't think the management has given up on Gaunce yet. If he develops into a prototypic 4th line center logging big minutes in defensive zones, that is the kind of the role they expect Gaunce to fill in for us.

Tryampkin + Hughes > Chara + McAvoy

Don't think they will give us MDC after his "Resurgence" this year in the A. Just like Gaunce, MDC will have one more shot at it. I rather add a grit player on the young Canucks team next year tho than another skills guy. (plus, it would suck a lot if MDC pans out like Ty Rattie)

Wayne Gretzky is Wayne Gretzky tho.. Even if he cherrypicks 24-7, he should still be the captain because he's Wayne Gretzky. He was just that far off from everybody else in the game. As to our Captain, we shouldn't look at offensive numbers alone.

He lead all forwards with 156 Hits last season.. That's including all the newcomers like Schaller and Roussel.. You don't have to obliterate someone along the boards or throw people back 10 feet to make an effective hit......(especially in Today's NHL ruling, that's very hard to do) From what I saw last year, he was doing what was asked of him by checking/ skating hard at 4th line.

2018 Canucks Summer Development Camp

I am curious to see Gadjo in Cassels' line. Maybe they will feed off each other well.

Before the season, it was a 2 year projection. Then, he went on to dominate SHL, breaking records. At the end of the season, it was a 0 ~ 1 year projection. Then, he goes to elevate his game even more in the playoffs and dominates the SHL playoffs. He was already an elite, being drafted 5th overall. But he keeps challenging himself to get better and whatever positive expectations put on him, he far exceeded them. I originally thought it was gonna be a 2 year process. But I was gravely wrong. He could be ready next year. Only he knows the plan and everyone else should just follow and watch.

For ceilings, How about: EP = New Pavel Datsyuk Brock Boeser = modern day Brett Hull Bo = New Patrice Bergeron (I think the style of play reminds me more of Bergeron than Toews..) Dahlen and Gaudette I need to watch more to see where they could reach..
