  1. So fortunate to be from a family of fishermen. This week eating fresh wild spring and sockeye salmon. Soooo good!

      Wild Sockeye Salmon is my favourite.  Are you gonna bring me some Deb?  You can just drop it off at Rogers Arena under the name Petey...   :)

      Probably Rick Tocchet. Is he available in a trade Joe?

    This is a NEVER BEFORE HEARD STORY! Once in a lifetime opportunity to find out the hidden meaning behind the username of CDC's user, ROBERTS!

  4. Would you rather have had Bergeron or Datsyuk on your team (2 of the best defensive forwards I've seen in my life time)?

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Pavel Datsyuk.  Not only was he a great defensive player but he was also a force offensively.  Petey is very similar to Datsyuk...

  5. If you could have any d-man in the NHL to partner with Hughes, who would be your pick?

  6. Calgary can Kickstart a great rebuild if they go full sell.

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Lindholm, Backlund, Toffoli, Tanev, Zadorov, Hanifin.  They should be able to get several picks and prospects for these players while opening up $27 million in cap space.  So they can get the future assets and then pay to get some UFA's, so they can take on bad contracts to get more picks and prospects.

  8. Dmitri Orlov is rumoured to be asking for $8+ million....with what Severson just got he's more than within the realms of reason.  Free agency for defensemen is gonna be a gong show again and it makes me nervous for what Hronek will ask

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      He's not even getting what Severson got, nevermind $8 million...

  9. Trent Frederic is a good 3C option. Really good defensive forward. Unlikely to sign with Boston.

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Frederic doesn't play centre though.  He's only took 72 faceoffs last year and is not very good.  I'd play him up front on left wing with Miller similar to PDG playing there last year...

      I'd love to have Trent Frederic.  If Boston doesn't want him, we should be all over him...

  11. Daily Hive reporting Ray Ferraro in the mix to be John Garrett's replacement. I would totally support that. It is important to have someone in the position who played the game at the NHL level and Ferraro is always worth a listen on the talk shows. He works between the benches so I wonder if he would do that with Shorty in the booth, or if he'd be in the booth with Shorty.

      I called this months ago.  No brainer.  He lives in Vancouver with his wife who is an AGM with Vancouver.  So 50% of his time he will be at home.  And he is one of the better colour guys out there as well...

  12. I would sooner wear a Mark [He Shall not be Named] Canucks jersey from 97/98 than cheer for either of these teams in the final.

  13. maybe pittsburgh hires jim benning. i'm sure he'll want OEL, myers and poolman.

  14. Everyday the Miller/horvat handling by management looks better and better, almost like they know more than the armchair gms around here. Who woulda thought?

    1. Elias Pettersson

      We kept the better player.  I’ll tell you that for free…

  15. who toughness on the pettersson/kuzmenko line?

    who toughness on the miller/mikheyev line?

    who defensive d-man to play with hughes?

    who defensive d-man to play with hronek?

    who 3rd line center?

    where to safe cap space 10 mil worth?

    imo, we don't have these players on the team right now.

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      I already proposed to get Trent Frederic from Boston...

  16. If Canucks somehow win #2 or #3, I’d trade that pick along with the next 4 1st rounders and our best prospects for #1

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Every draft board has Fantilli over Carlsson. I’ll go with the experts. Michkov can’t even play in the NHL for 3 years. He may not even be selected in the top 4 picks.

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      I wouldn’t take Michkov over Fantilli. Too risky. Fantilli is Mike Modano. I’d be happy with Mike Modano. Don’t need to take a risk to try and get a Kucherov who wouldn’t be that much better than a Modano. Not worth the risk. 
       

      Carlsson is a winger at the moment. No guarantee he can be a full time centre in the NHL. Why take all of these risks when you can simply take Mike Modano and walk away with a 100 point centre?

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Carlsson is similar to Petey in many ways. Which is why I’d rather have Fantilli.  Fantilli would bring a different element to the team. Gretzky and Messier were different. Same with Crosby and Malkin. Sakic and Forsberg. McDavid and Draisaitl.

      Fantilli is dominating US college like no one else.  Is in the running for the Hobey Baker at 18 years old, which is unheard of.  He has better numbers that Jack Eichel when he was 17.  Almost at 2 points per game average.  He would be a 1st overall pick in another draft.  Carlsson is not a centre, he has been playing left wing for the last 2 years, so he would need alot of work in the faceoff circle and also to adapt as a full time centre in the NHL.  Fantilli IMO can step into the NHL next season.  Carlsson needs one more year.  They are both great talents, but Fantilli is a slam dunk IMO to be a Mike Modano type player.

      That's overkill.  Quebec is the team that won the cups when they traded Lindros and got the greatest haul ever.  We don't want to be Philadelphia.  Fantilli will be a Mike Modano type of player, good for 100 points.  Perfect 2C behind Petey.  We can then trade Miller for two 1st round picks and then leverage those picks to acquire some top 4 Dmen and get a couple of bottom 6 forwards.  If Bedard gets 160 points and Fantilli gets 100 points in the NHL, then the difference is just one more top end player, not 4 or 5.

  21. How does a player with nearly 150pts is only a +17

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      McDavid only has 6 more points than Petey 5 on 5. Imagine if we won the lottery and added Bedard to our power play?  I could see Petey and Bedard pushing 130 points easy. They could compete with McDavid and Draisaitl for the scoring title.

    1. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Almost half of McDavid's points are on the PP, 68 points our of 146.  In comparison, in Gretzky's best season where he had 215 points, only 54 points were on the PP, so only 25%.  Huge difference...
