    Toffoli reunited with Pearson on one line and a rusty Brock back with his linemates seems too obvious to me.

     

    Well at least Loui to this hour has been removed from the top six.

     

     

     

     

     

    Getting really tired of the LE top six argument, he had the least ice time of any player last game even though he played PK. (Not pointing your post our, just a recurring theme...)

    I don't think we win trying to match a defensive game vs Trots. I'd like to see Zack in and sit Loui tonight. NYI has a few big bodies and i'd like to see Zack throw his weight around. 

    I think Motte is in if healthy. Pretty sure Jake is on the 3rd line. I do think Green wants the 4th as a strictly defensive line so my money would be on Mac sitting and LE slotting in there.

    not sure its that big of a deal, I suspect Brock isn't going to see a ton of minutes tonight. I do think him being on PP2 might turn out to be a great idea, he should get more chances facing other teams 2nd PK units, so that might be a way of generating some more offence. 

     

     

    Agree on this. Pp2 also have more of a shoot first mentality which might suit Brock better.

    If he's released by his KHL team they loose his rights as I understand, not good management considering he's not a guaranteed NHL player. They would want him back in the KHL 

    They will lose his rights anyway April 30 as I understand it. Refusing to release him probably is not a good move then if they want him back in the future. 
     

    one thing not mentioned is that Nik’s probably a bit down after being eliminated from the playoffs, so could be a few days before he’s mentally ready to make a decision for this season if he hasn’t already. He could also be banged up etc which could play a part in his decision. 
     

    That said - can’t wait to see him rag doll opponents again...

    Agreed.  When reporters become puppets for GMs and Agents to spread their propaganda, they become simply writers.  They lose credibility for sure.  Still like Dhaliwal though.  

    I will definitely forgive him if he's wrong on this one though - that would mean Big Nik is coming!

    One (the Edler deal) is supposition.  The Tryamkin issue is contract rules.  

    True. Just wanted to answer poster with an example of why many seem to feel Dhaliwals credibility has fallen, myself included. In the Edler case he was either being played by the agent or just reporting misc speculations that all turned out to be far from the truth. Not a good look, anyway you see it.

     

    I don't know that he's been wrong in any more factual matters, so I agree there's a difference, but at least for me I no longer trust that he knows what he's tweeting about and that he's not just repeating what some other source has told him.

    Exactly. More like 12 minutes a game .

    12 mins would rank #7 among forwards for ice time in the Canucks last game. If before the season someone would have asked me if I would be happy with pod getting that kind of ice in the khl playoffs this season I would have answered that it would be great. And it is.

    Short term I think Vegas, Flames and Oilers did well. Also like the moves in the east from Islanders, Capitals and Canes.

     

    Long term I think we did really well. Got an important asset that works both as a rental and if resigned without giving up to much, realize that we are not contenders yet and can't give up future assets if the reward isn't big enough (as I think it is with Tofu and for that matter with JT). So actually - seems like the mindset of a winning franchise IMO.

    Now that QH has taken the #1D role Edler can play in the #2-3D role that he's much more suited for. Still it's no coincidence that the team generally goes on losing skids whenever he's injured. Edler on the second pairing for this contract and then on the third pairing for one or two more years, please.
