    He appears to have matured far better, over-time, than “Tuna” did. I suspect one of the worst things possible for Jake’s development was NOT sending him out-of-town to play in Utica with other hungry  progressing Pros, away from his local possee. Then again, maybe that wouldn’t have been enough or even mattered, regardless.
     

    McCann seems to have developed some good sense between the ears & the wisdom to talk the talk, if not walk the walk, as a representative of his current NHL team. We shall see if he continues to haunt the Canucks as a pesky divisional player, for years to come. 
     

     

    But they did. He lost so much weight and matured a bit more when he went to Utica for a whole year. After he came back, he just fell back into his local possee.

    I'll reserve judgement until we see the next moves.  The question is, does this management team have what it takes to pull it off?  

     

    Does this mean we're not moving Myers? 

     

    I can't see us re-signing Bear now that he needs shoulder surgery, they'll probably let him walk.  

     

    Welp, we're finally rebuilding the defense and that's exciting.

    We have time before at need to decide whether to re-sign Bear since he is RFA

    Still need to get that faceoff percentage up.  Giveaways a wee bit of a problem again. Nice to see us out hit a team B)

     

     

    You know that we have been over 50% the past few games and quite a lot since Horvat was traded. The few times we dip below 50%, you had to make a comment lol

    When I see him mentioned anywhere, I always think of Jason Botchford screaming "BREEZEBOH!!!!" on TSN 1040. RIP Botch.

     

    A solid, depth defender. He'll likely never get claimed on waivers so he's perfect for being a call up option/AHL leader when the Canucks need a d man in a pinch. I like the signing and I like the player.

     

    Curious if they'll re-sign Wolanin and Burroughs soon. Those two guys are also excellent depth pieces and should be locked up well before July 1st rolls around.

    I hope Wolanin and Burroughs as Wolanin brings a bit of an offensive flair and Burroughs brings toughness. Breezy is just a stable stay at home defencemen but just based on last night's game, he needs some work on the offensive side.

    Got to wonder what Bear's next contract looks like, you'd hope if he keeps up this play he'll re-sign with us but he could command a fair bit and we're going to be tight for cap space. It'd be nice if he signs a 3-4M deal but to be fair, he's playing as our top right handed defenceman and scoring some points too, around a 30 point pace and 20+ minutes while being a solid + player on a dreadfully minus team (although the PK obviously affects that a lot). A bridge contract, say 2-3 years at 3.5M would be ideal.

    the PK doesn't affect the minus thou

    Its the D... Its always been the D. How is this so hard for GMs to understand?

    Under Martin 4 - 1 - 1

     

    Under Demko 2 - 9 - 2

     

    Same defense.  Better goaltending and the team is above .500.

     

    Now are we a contender?  No.  But we are not this bad if Demko was  anything other than terrible.

     

    If we had decent goaltending and were sitting above .500 the conversation would be we need to make a couple of moves to replace Myers and add another top 4 D and we would feel pretty good about things.

     

    The way it is - with Demko so terrible - it makes the D look absolutely horrible and magnifies the problem 10 fold.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    LOL..wow...this post. I love how this poster removes the more important stat of the goalies (e.g. GAA and Save %)
