Maybe I'm overrating Podz and Hogz, but I genuinely feel like if these guys have breakout years, this team will look extremely different and be more than just a fringe playoff team. Really feel like Podz especially has star potential - really hope he can put it together, would be the perfect winger for Petey.

Podz shouldn't be playing on the 4th line at all, no way he's put in that position to start the year imo

Agreed. I never found Vegas any good, thought they were a decent team but had no idea they'd win the cup. They have a decent blue line though but I think even with our current roster, we're a lot more than a fringe playoff team.

What do we need to be contending for the cup? I honestly feel like a lot of this depends on the emergence of Podz and Hogz. If they have solid years, we could be going somewhere. I feel like we have a very solid top 9, but are missing a bonafide 3C and another solid top 4 D (someone like Pesce, Tanev). What do the rest of you think? What pieces do we need to compete?

His values pretty low right now, I'd keep him. 3 years left, trade him when hes on a hot streak, not like we're really going anywhere anyways

Hmm interesting. I would assume we'd get a pretty good package for Bo, and considering that he doesn't really make the guys around him better, I don't think it'll be extremely difficult to replace him. Not saying it will be easy, but I fully believe that having a two way center that can make the guys around him better is what we need as our top two C's

I don't mind letting Bo go. He's a solid goal scorer and great on faceoffs, but doesn't do much else. Good player, don't get me wrong, but not someone who I think we can win with. Think we can get some solid pieces for him, and I also don't think he'll be able to keep up his goal scoring at this rate.

I feel like losing our assistant coaches (Brad Shaw & Scott Walker) were a massive deal and is probably a reason why we aren't playing well. On paper, we're by far a playoff team, but there literally is no structure. Felt like last year atleast we had some structure and our defense was actually pretty good. Anyone else feel the same way? Would love to hear other opinions!

Anyone know the name of the Canucks new entrance song? I remember hearing it in NHL but I forgot the name of it

How did he play the last two games? Wasn't able to catch the entire game but heard he was decent?

I think the most frustrating part about all of this is that, we actually aren't bad. Like we had multi-goal leads, we dominated some games as well. We looked like a strong offensive team, and it sort of went all to shambles. Idk, its weird, frustrating, and i don't know how to feel.

I have a feeling they'll go on a big streak eventually, this isn't a coaching issue or anything, I think its just a confidence issue. We are a much better team than we were last year. I don't blame Rutherford for resigning Miller, no one expected him to drop off like this. Hopefully just a slump, lets wait 20-25 games before coming to conclusions.

Everyone needs to calm down, its 4 games holy wait till maybe 20-25 before coming to conclusions about signing/trading the guy

Where the Streets have No Name is the best one imo, but my goodness imagine if they played Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand. People would go nuts

Wait so if perhaps Poolman is on LTIR for the rest of the year, we can use that 2.5M in cap? Sorry I was never too sure on how this LTIR stuff worked!
