  1. On paper the roster should be competitive but the X factor is: IF the staff can deliver by putting it all together on & off the ice.
  2. Really hoping Shaw can deliver based on his reputation and have a positive influence on the roster & staff as well.
  3. Yeah, the Baumer resigning was baffling. Imo: with Baumers' bad record as a defensive coach; the hiring of Shaw is PROBABLY also meant to bring some lustre back into his resume to help continue his coaching career in the NHL.
  4. AHL is important cause it allows young players a chance to develope but ultimately, it will come down to opportunities given (from the coaches) and the quality of the staff.
  5. Lots of very deserving names from an era of hockey that is looooong gone. Hope these guys are enjoying there latter years and RIP for the one's that are no longer here. Personally, I am really enjoying this particular thread - lots of good hockey and memories; hoping for more postings.
  6. Probert is the undisputed champ but as a Canuck fan - Odjick is still my favorite.
  7. There roster is getting stale and Holland doubled down; perhaps he wants out of Edmonton?
  8. Bergevin knows that the Habs just got hot at the right time in the playoffs (hot streak, ended as soon as July started) and (good chance) they will be a non playoff team - just like Dallas last year l, were they made the finals and missed the playoffs the next year.
  9. Yeah, he is made out of glass and the contract he got - is well earned
  10. Good take: this will be fast tracked, to avoid stirring the.pot too much.
  11. I am sure he has his duties; I am just unsure of what they specifically are.
  12. 2 million per year on the high end would be ideal - hope he stays durable (?).
  13. Like, you Iam somewhat unsure of where the lines of responsibility ends; imo, Shaw is the hedge - just in case the team starts off slow or is struggling to make the playoffs and some changes are needed to change the fortune of the team - very similar to what the Habs did when the Habs replaced Julien with Ducharme and from there, the team took off. After this offseason, there is alot more pressure & eyes, to see if the staff can deliver - to me the biggest X factors are: the coaching staff and if the players will buy in.
  14. Enjoy, reading your post; and with the Canucks - always, in contend mode: can you perhaps list a few late round gems to keep an eye on (?) cause the likelihood, of JB trading our top two picks to fill current needs is very high.
  15. Based on years of experience and past accomplishments, Shaw has more years of coaching experience than both Green & Baumer combined; and it seems Baumer is only the defensive coach on paper (?) - REALLY, not sure how these two will make it work. I guess, we will just have to wait & see with the on ice product on who is dictating the defensive system cause the situation seems like - the student is teaching the teacher based on the job title/description. The Baumer re signing was a head scratcher but I am assuming, that Green requested that the Canucks give Baumer another chance cause given his coaching record with the Canucks - it probably would be REALLY HARD for him to find a very similar coaching position somewhere else. Imo, the Shaw addition seems to be a moved to ALSO help Baumer gain some lustre into his (abysmal) coaching record.
  16. Yeah, still lots of important RFA’s left to sign - Gear & Weisbrod are probably earning there $ during these negotiations.
  17. Not really concern cause the team identity should with the new faces (in the roster & staff); and it should be about team tougheness: biting back hard at the moment of the incidence regardless, of the league/game managers. Imo, when it come to toughness it is about sending the right message(s).
  18. Too much work and my vidoe game playing days are loooooong over. Kidding aside, lots of great projections.
