How many wingers do you want them to have?
That's a stupid question

Holy cow how is he still in the league lol. AHL bound.

Loved Burroughs, sad to see him go. He had the biggest heart out there on many, many nights.
-
Myers for Labanc straight across? Take and run Allvin. That's a win win, you shed $1.5 + immediately and it's his last year of the contract, which would likely come much cheaper after this one's done if they wish to re-sign.

Penguins are hell bent on becoming the oldest team in NHL history.

What we got in a return is a present day upgrade of 2 players, 1 of those in the position of D that totally outweighs Horvats worth, and in Beauviller, a Forward that gathers as many points as Horvat.
We also acquired a promising aggressive Center in Raty , who might turn out to be a 2C or better.
If the Captain of a Team is only so good,
how does a team push him out of the way to become better themselves.
We can say the Teams were mismanaged, but Horvat was not spectacular.
Beavillier is almost doubling Horvats point total thus far with thiernew team. Horvat only has 9 points in 20 games. Not surprising i figured Bo playing in a very defense first system would have that effect

The Sens, what Vancouver wishes to be?
The Sens aren't that far away from being a great team. Lots of young talent, so yes.

No brighter at all, much worse. At least in past years we had high end guys ready to graduate like Petterson, Hughes, Podkolzin, etc.
It is quite likely none of the guys on the list ever crack the top half of a roster and most of them never even make it to the NHL.
A bunch of AHL calibre guys isn’t the same as a couple of high end talents. Every team in the league has a bunch of prospects this level.
This is a terrible take, sorry.
Hughes and Petey not only made the team their first year, they were immediate impact players. They were never developing prospects in the AHL.
If you think our prospect pool is worse now than a few years ago you have been living under a rock.

Is it just me or does Sportsnet have technical issues every single broadcast ?

I very much think Raty, Klimovich, and Karlsson will be developed to play in the bottom 6. Their size and the sandpaper they play with would make them ideal third liners if they make it.
Podz will be developed with top 6 in mind but his offensive consistency is making him look more like a bottom 6 player right now. When you consider the players taken after him I’ve been pretty disappointed with his offensive development.
Lekkermaki is top 6 or bust and right now he’s trending towards bust. We’ll see if he can get back on track next season though.
lol Lekkerimaki is 18 holy moly wayyyy to early to call him a bust. Tage Thompson didn't score more than 20points until he was 24...you're writing off a teenager who was just drafted less than 12 months ago....you're losing credibility here.
I'm not sure what sandpaper you're referring to with Karlsson either, not a noted part of his game. Size or "two way game" does not = sandpaper.

31 games in the NHL and 28 in the AHL this season.
Regardless that’s one player that has top 6 potential.
I’ve seen people dress up our prospect pool before. Right now it’s still pretty poor. That’s the issue with losing so many 1st and 2nd round picks. It’s so much harder to build up high end depth.
We desperately need depth at the Center position and on D and it would be nice to have another top goalie prospect coming up behind Silovs. Hopefully they can solve that in the upcoming draft.Agree, but players like Raty, Lekkerimaki, Klimovich, Podz don't necessarily get developed to play bottom 6 roles. They are all high skill guys what have been prolific scorers in their careers, they play a skill game and are offensive minded...they will be groomed and likely expected to play top 6 roles. They may start bottom 6 to watch their minutes, but the end goal for those guys would 100% be future top 6 skill guys. I think all of those guys are capable of doing so...that's typically where 1st / 2nd rounds picks like Lerkkerimaki, Podz, Raty, Klim would be drafted to play.

Podz has played over 100 NHL games now so I wouldn’t consider him a prospect anymore.
Again a lot of good support players and bottom 6/depth D players not a whole lot that screams impact player.
He's 21 and has played majority in the AHL this year and hasn't carved out a full time role...that's a prospect in my eyes anyway.

We have lots of players that could play support and depth roles, not alot of top 6 or top 4 potential.

Bloom
Pettersson
Klimovich
Jurmo
Silovs
Rathbone
Kudryavtsev
Karlsson
Mcdonough
Bains
Johansson
We are starting to get some depth in our pool, maybe not any "blue chip" players, but the cupboards are getting stocked bit by bit. It's much brighter than it was a few years ago. There are def. some forwards in there with top 6 potential.

I was just saying signing an over PPG defensive prospect is pretty tough to pick apart, especially since it's an area (D) of weakness for this team...

Pretty tough to find the negatives with this one, although I'm sure the typical offenders will...

Well, the cupboard is slowly getting stocked again.

Happy for Horvat, he's doing really good and is carrying them into the playoffs. I hope they make it.
I think this article is pretty sensationalized by a local writer TBH - trying to pump the tires of the trade., Beavilliers numbers are even more impressive since being traded.

The question needs to be asked.
Will we have the capspace to sign Bedard as a UFA in 2031?
Bedard is a local boy, the Canucks are his favorite team...one way or another there's a good chance he signs here one day...one would think.

Just now, jyu said:
If this isnt obvious to people already, then i don’t think they have been watching oel play this season. Our defence improved by just subtracting O and replacing him with marginal level NHL players in Breezer and Wolanin.
But it seems like O has been playing injured? Yet he put up decent amount of points. My guess is O is back in the lineup next season if he is 100%. They don’t have a choice. Aqullini is not going to sign off on a buyout of that magnitude.
It really put it into perspective when AHL guys come in and not just fill the void, but play notably more impactful hockey. Wolanin would have 4 goals easily already, and he's +4., I know part of that is Demko being back and perhaps better systems play but it's still relevant.
This blueline looks better without OEL than with him, it's pretty easy to see with the eye test.

This may fire up some folks but I'm going to make a statement:
Wolanin is a more dynamic offensive player, and more dependable defensively than OEL.
Take it or leave it.

Oh right on, year 3 of exploring a Tyler Myers trade
