[PGT] Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 05, 2021
J-Strap replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
There’s a need to make changes everywhere in this organization unless Aquilini likes losing. Green isn’t getting these guys to play up to their potential and his lame excuses are tiresome. Benning has drafted some key pieces but he hasn’t done much in building a “team” that can do things cohesively and play as a unit. His management of the salary cap and contracts leaves much to be desired. The core isn’t as strong as where they should be. Pettersson has done less and less each year in the league and after getting paid this off season has been absent in effort and on the score sheet. Soft on the puck, slow in his skating and would rather try to pass through 3 defenders than shoot the puck. Big question is when will (or if) he will show up. Hughes has shown flashes but he’s still very much a defensive liability (at this stage). Boeser may still be a top scorer but he doesn’t have that creative play maker to feed him the puck and he’s just average in creating his own scoring chances. Demko might be the only truly elite player at this point on the team. Something has to give to take steps forward.
