JB would be a bone head if he started messing with the core right now. 
 

His move only logical move during this season is the coach. My hope is JB gets fired at the end of the year.

 

I blame JB for a big part of this mess. It was so clear that Marky was the reason the team was so good. He was the MVP without question yet we lose him to keep a “goalie of the future” who had 3 great games? What the hell was that. How many times have we heard “goalie of the future” that ends up being not so? We had a sure thing in Marky and he would have been the better choice, regardless of Seattle potentially claiming Demko.

 

Also like how TT is making JB look like a fool right now. 

We can't rely on Marky forever. I think JB made the right move to let Marky go, especially with the expansion draft coming around the corner. I don't think goaltending is currently the issue right now, the defense is terrible and I guess a lot of it is due to the tough schedule and the lack of practice time. I do agree though that Toffoli should've been resigned, especially at 4.25 M. And Stetcher of course.

Seems like as soon as he got more playing time, his stats just keep going up and up. Looking like an absolute star right now, can't wait to see him in a Canucks jersey soon.

When do you guys think nightclubs will open up? I feel like even after the vaccine roll out, I highly doubt these clubs will open up immediately and a lot of people are saying that we won't see these places open till the end of 2022.

How did canucks disrespect them by not signing them? Benning and Travis repeatedly said they are very happy for them that they got a great deal they deserved. It was unfortunate they couldn't sign them based on the cap situation and long term deals over the next few years. 

Didn't Benning completely ignore Tanev, Stetch, and Toffoli though? I get not signing them, but there still should be some sort of communication.

I honestly don't think Pettersson is lacking confidence in himself, he appears to me to be unhappy. He's not battling like he used to, not putting in that extra D effort. Never see him smiling much anymore. I wonder if the off season changes have really affected him more than we know. Maybe he doesn't get along with the extrovert Schmidt? Maybe he misses having Marky around? I was watching him last night and I saw a player who isn't struggling because he can't. It looks like he's not giving his best. 

Tbh it could be. I think the main issue going on in the locker room is how everything was handled. Not being in touch with Tanev, stalling talks with Toffoli and Marky, and now again stalling talks with Green, it really isn't a good look. It's one thing when you don't resign players that have been with the org for a long time and have positively impacted the org over the years, but it's another thing when you sort of disrespect them in free agency. That could be something that our star players may be thinking about, but I guess we'll never really know.

Juolevi picke 3rd star

moved off the roster

Goooooooooooo GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEner

 

I smell another Stealthnuck Tankjob

I feel like a lot of the reason behind this move is to slowly integrate Benn and Chatfield in the lineup. Injuries will occur regardless, I think Green knows that the Sens aren't too bad of a matchup and to give Benn and Chatfield some time to get there legs going could be a good thing, even though I wish they kept Juolevi in to keep up the momentum he has going for him. 

[Olli Juolevi | #48 | D]

Been on this board for a long time but was always so lazy to make an account, so I might as well devote my first reply to a Olli Juolevi post! In all honesty, I loved him when he played with London and I think that injuries certainly hurt his development. He's been looking better each and every game, and I really feel like all he needs is more time to develop and work on his weaknesses. Excited to see him play more and I really hope Green continues to up his ice time in the future. While I don't think he's going to be a dman who nets us 40+ points a year, I think he'll be an integral part to a future championship run for sure.
