    To van: lafreniere, Schneider, 1st round pick 2022

     

    to nyr: Miller 

     

    even that top offer were still a worse team in the short term and our locker room leadership gets nuked

    That's my deal too, except I have the first rounder replaced by Barron, because: 1) I don't think the Rangers would give up quite that much for Miller and, 2) Barron can step in at centre right away and replace at least some of the size, physicality and skill that we would be losing in Miller.

    I really like this hire. 
     

    Not because the person is a specific gender but because they seem to have a great head on their shoulders, and in this age, that’s all I want our team to be chock full of. 

    I congratulate Rutherford on the hire and look forward to a good job in CBA and contract management among other things. 
     

    Well done. 

    Well I'd prefer someone who was a nonspecific gender.....but they are coming, I'm sure!;)

    I forgot about Othmann.  He's having a really good season.  I'm not as high on the others.  I could see Arizona going after Othmann, Lundkvist and a 1st round pick.

     

    To be honest, when it comes to Arizona they are wide open.  They basically are collecting whatever they can get at any position, so they will simply take the best package available regardless of position.  Vancouver on the other hand needs to be more strategic and fill certain holes.  Schneider really is a must in any trade with the Rangers as he fills our biggest hole in the roster.

    I put Othman pretty well on par with Lafreniere and Kakko.  If we could get any of those three, along with Schneider (or maybe Lundkvist) and Barron for Miller, that would be the perfect deal for me!

    So you mean he's been at home telling stories all this time?!! I can see taking one day off for the Airing of the Grievances over Festivus, but this is a bit much!

    This is were I don't mind if Canucks traded Myers and Boeser for someone like John Klingberg. That would make the Canucks top 3 D more mobile since Myers is kind of slow and it clears cap space where we can get another top 4 D that is cheap in the off-season.

     

    Hughes-Klingberg

    OEL-Larsson

     

    That is what I have in mind in terms or retooling the D. Keep Poolman and bring up Rathbone and I think it will make us more mobile. 

    But then today in the Province, this is what Luke Schenn said about Tampa Bay's key to success in winning their recent Stanley Cups:

     

    “The biggest thing they changed in order to win a championship — after losing in the first round — is that they were relying a lot more on skill. They have a big, strong and heavy D-core and that’s what they pride themselves on — being good in the corners and in front.”

     

    This looks like quite a different approach to constructing a D-core than what Boudreau is talking about today..........so who's approach is right???:unsure:

    26 games, 1 goal, 6 assists, a +2 in 15:12 of average icetime. He didn't play last game, the game before he had only 4 mins of icetime. Not sure whether he is injured or has played himself out of the lineup. He was playing a lot at the beginning of the year and the team was losing. Recently Jukurit have been winning 6 in a row (whether have I seen that before...?), but Jurmo's icetime was reduced.

     

    His teammate, Petrus Palmu is 4th in league scoring (27p in 29 games), just behind Lukas Jasek, who is 2nd (30p in 27).

    Yes, and I hear the crowd has been chanting "Bjorn, there it is" to their new coach!;)
