Wow, Dvorsky at 3 and Smith at 10. I’ve really been warming up to Dvorsky and where we’re likely going to be picking I think there’s a decent chance he’ll be there.

[Rumour] Time's up! Finish your last sentence...

My goodness please get us a second round pick. The second is so fun because you can get some of those gems that fell out of the first. Garland for a second please -

This deal could end up being the win of the entire trade season! I think there’s a decent chance that a few years down the road we will look back on the Kravstov trade and be even more mind blown than we are now by the grand larceny that this trade ended up becoming. -

What if they’re clearing all this cap for a Karlsson trade lol -

I’m really hoping that Van was willing to move that 1st and 2nd in the Hronek trade because they knew they would be getting a 1st or a 2nd in a Penguins trade. -
[Signing] Red Wings re-sign Dylan Larkin
YearoftheNuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I’m honestly happy for Redwings fans. They’re a great hockey market and Larkin is a beauty. -
Also, it would be reckless for them to scratch Miller unless they were 99% certain they have a deal in place, because that scratch would cause an absolute sh*t storm in this marketplace, and if the trade fell through, that could be a big black cloud hanging over the already very “passionate” Miller for next several years.

Yeah throwing Silovs into a starter roll with our weak D, and at his young age could seriously damage his development. Fortunately there’s a lot of veteran goalies set to become free agents this summer (both of Carolina’s goaltenders for instance; Andersen and Raanta) that would could target as our starter. Silovs has looked solid and I think he could serve well as a backup behind a vet. I know hindsight is 20/20 but I can honestly say that I was never sold on Martin. Many times in the past not very strong goaltenders have put together solid stretches and appeared better than they actually were. And watching Martin play, I always felt that was the case with him. He looks small in the net, and just doesn’t have that same pro movement and stature that the goalies like Markstrom, Demko, and even Silovs has. To me, when I watch Silovs, he looks like a pro. So many aspects of his game just scream quality. I think that if developed correctly, he could have a very good career.

[PGT] Boston Bruins at Vancouver Canucks | Feb. 25, 2023
YearoftheNuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Silvos is looking like the real deal! And Raty is an ace in the face of circle! -
This draft class is top notch! I recently heard Craig Button say that this could be the best draft class in the last 20 years! I really hope we can get another second round pick because I think there’s going to be a lot of good players to choose from in that round as well.

This is very impressive work by our management! Even if Kravstov doesn’t become much, this patience and hard bargaining by our management will still make this a win IMO. As for Lockwood, he was decent, but guys like him can be replaced annually at free agency for cheap, whereas if Kravstov lives up to even half of his potential this could be a home run.

I definitely think having two legends in Foote and Gonchar in our coaching staff is helping our defence in a big way. As sad as I was to see Budreau go in the way that he did, I’m really liking our coaching staff, Tocchet included.

I’m loving that the Islanders keep on hovering around 13th spot in terms of point percent. I know there’s still a long way to go until the end of the season, but if we could pick 13th overall with their pick that would be amazing! There’s going to be so many solid players left to choose from at that spot.

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at St. Louis Blues | Feb. 23, 2023
YearoftheNuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Petey is sooo good! Silvos looked solid again tonight. These two might tank our hopes of a tank lol. Maybe we end up drafting 8-10th because my goodness the Blues looked awful and I could see us leap frogging them. Maybe we take Reinbacher with our pick and then the Moore or someone like that with the NYI pick. That would still be pretty great. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Sam Malinski
YearoftheNuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Wow, the kid is slick! Very deceptive and such incredibly quick feet! -
Your entire write-up made for an excellent read, but I especially enjoyed your take on Fantilli! Lol so clever!

[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn
YearoftheNuck replied to Warhippy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I’m definitely thinking the Avalanche makes sense, and not because they’ve been quiet, but rather because RHD Erik Johnson is out for the season.
