  1. lol if u sign miller to a contract that is fair? what signs are there saying Miller is willing to take a below market contract? you wouldn't think it's a done deal already if he's willing to sign for say 6x7.5-8mil? obviously he has no interest.. sry replacing horvat is easier than replacing miller?? find me a top 10 faceoff guy that nets you 30+ goals and play mostly in defensive situations only 5v5 in the UFA market.. oh right they don't exist. the last time there was one was who? Tavares?
  2. lmao trying to sign miller first makes more sense because of cap situation? it's a lot easier to sign Bo once they figure out what they are doing with Miller?? signing Bo first basically gives Miller all the leverage in the world? if u sign bo to 7mil 7.5mil or anything around that range.. you think u can get miller to sign for that?? considering you are saying Miller is TWICE the player will ever be? but i guess logic doesn't apply with you when it comes to Miller since u want to re-sign him at all cost all player on this team is trash and never be anything close to miller.. he's the best player in the world not name mcdavid best player in the franchise history etc etc etc.
  3. Lmao is Oel is as good as Hughes at QBing the pp.. but pp2 is missing a Pp qb last year? Best pp? Colorado Toronto Tampa NYR Edmonton all saids hi. I’m loving how you guys are diminishing Hughes.. his only point is to pass the puck to EP lmao. You guys are straight up ridiculous. You just claimed pp2 have no QB referring to OEL not capable. But all of a sudden he’s good for the pp1 let’s put a guy that have been declining on the Pp in terms of production for a while now before even coming to the canucks. Let’s replace a 30+ points ppl guy with one that have put up 19 14 7 10 points on the ppl recently it’ll make the Pp so much better. He hasn’t even broke the 20 points on the pp for 6 years now but he will all of a sudden be a 30+ point pp guy.
  4. Lol boeser is neither in the bumper position nor putting goals in off rebound so what is your point? Most of makar goal on the pp comes off the rush or drives to the net.. so I still don’t see the need to have a big shot to hit the net with oel. But that’s fine take away Hughes just so u can stick OEL on there for his *big*shot and move Horvat or miller or ep off the pp1 since u think OEL on pp1 will score 10+ goals from the Horvat or boeser that you are moving off. And whoever u put on pp2 will magically continue to score at the pace they did on pp1
  5. Do you even watch makar? He does not have a lot of goals blasting from the “point”.. and did u even watch the canucks this season? Boeser has 2 total goals on the power play that was a “rebound” off pettersson miller or Hughes.. every other goal is either a 1 timer wrist shot or his own rebound..
  6. Toronto New York Colorado Calgary Edmonton all don’t have a big point shot. They all seem to be doing just fine in the top 10 pp. the top pp scorer on the team is boeser Horvat pettersson.. so no it’s not either going to pettersson or miller. Miller actually have the lowest pp goal out of all of them. They already have 3 options plus miller for shots they don’t need a big point shot that no one will get to the rebound especially if u move Horvat off.
  7. Demko ran out of gas not because we dug ourself a big hole.. it’s how he’s been having to stand on his head every night to keep the team in while they no show 1st period every game with or without Bruce. While I don’t see this team being competitive against the top teams in the west. I do agree we are close need a few pieces but problem is just getting 1 is already hard enough let alone couple
  8. exactly where's edmonton's big shot? tyson barrie? colorado big shot? i don't recall Makar blasting those goals from the blue line.. toronto?? taking your best forwards and offensive defenseman off the pp1 just to spread the ice time is the dumbest thing i've seen in terms of powerplay suggestion lol
  9. there's absolutely 0 reasons to split the PP evenly if it's working.. nor is there a reason to break up the powerplay just so they can insert whomever.. so instead of having EP play 17-18mins a night? let's play him 15-16.. take away as much offensive opportunity as possible to give the middle 6 players even powerplay time to kill time and momentum take your most impactful player on PP1 off and replace with others and instead of having 1 good PP1 line we have 2 mediocre pp lines just for the hell of it so that we can have OEL on pp1? like i'm still amazed at how people non stop suggest putting OEL to replace hughes or put rathbone in the pp1 basically is top 10 in the league.. take off horvat.. we have stick OEL and Hughes together.. great we have no bumper.. we have a big OEL shot that no one is going to get to the rebound.. let's stick horvat and hughes on the PP2.. great there's 0 playmakers on pp2 other than hughes.. horvat garland, pearson.. whomever else u wanna stick on kuzmenko maybe or podkolzin.. none of them are great at being a setup guy.. so it's all hughes passing the puck to whomever and they just blindly shoot it at the net.. seriously what does putting OEL on the pp1 do? make his stat looks better?? at the cost of making everyone else stats worse? so if OEL is getting more opportunity on PP1.. does that make him produce more 5v5? no? taking away QH's pp1 time does that make him produce more elsewhere? no?
  10. no one cares about the second pp.. last year we have pearson taking the faceoff.. so you are going to dismantle your top pp unit that's 9th in the league.. just to have a guy take faceoff in the 2nd unit? we are going to try everything to help the 2nd pp unit with maybe 5-10 pp goals at best while destroying the chemistry of the first? really?
  11. so you are taking your 2 most productive PP guy and splitting them up just for the 2mins or so pp time pp2 gets? so you take out the most effective bumper guy on pp1 off and i'm guessing we are just going to be a perimeter team on pp1 shooting from the point and beyond the faceoff circle?
  12. can someone tell me the reasoning they want to replace OEL with Hughes on the PP1? we have the 9th best powerplay in the league and it's working because it's mostly Hughes setting up miller to whomever else or Hughes to EP for the 1 timer. replacing Hughes with OEL yes you get the big shot every once in a while.. but the powerplay setup isn't one of those that will swarm for the rebound if it doesn't go in. i honestly don't see the powerplay with be any difference with Hughes or OEL on the point in terms of production from the 1st line.. seems like we are forcing OEL on the 1st line just to increase his point total at the same time taking away from QH... if the PP was sucking all season.. ya i'm all for trying it out.. but it's not.. so i really don't see the point.. it's like ppl want to see a change just for the sake of seeing a change.
  13. If it was a competitive 1st round sure. But if it’s a sweep? Not sure what that does. In terms of playoff experience they have 3 rounds worth with the playin. They need competitive experience not go in and get blown out by the likes of Colorado with a burned out goalie. Demko ran out of steam at the start of march last season his goals against was like over 3 and barely .900 in sv percentage the rest of the way
  14. Let’s just ignore the fact they beaten a team that made the playoff a grand total of 13 times in 5 months in the 32 games against playoff teams since Bruce took over. sure the canucks will probably end up being a playoff team if they continue to beat up on the non playoff teams. But doesn’t mean much if u get bounced in the 1st.
  15. I’m saying chychrun +/- have nothing to do with OEL leaving. It’s just simply Arizona is fielding an echl team
  16. Don’t think that have anything to do with Oel since they don’t even play together. OEL made myer look better for sure. But doesn’t mean he will make klingsberg better. The guy is not a defensive defenseman at all. He take risk offensively all the time. Why are we paying so much for OEL if the purpose of him is just to be a stay at home defenseman covering the deficiency of his partner? We are paying Oel 7+ just to be a tanev so that we can sign a klingsberg for 7+ to babysit him and let him make the risky play? So instead of looking for a defensively reliable guy to replace Myers. In the 4-5 mil range you guys want to pay even more for a guy that basically is an offensive defenseman with limited defensive skill and force OEL into a more defensive role. No wonder our cap situation is so bad we keep forcing square pegs into round holes and forcing guys to to adjust to compensate so they end up being overpaid for the role they play on the team.
  17. So whos playing defense? Klingsberg is the worse defenseman defensively last couple years on Dallas.. he’s -28 last season. The next defenseman on the list is -4.. as much as you guys hate on Myers.. we want to trade a guy that’s +15 for a guy that’s -28 on a team that’s decent defensively? Hell ya it’ll give us a different look. Klingsberg is absolutely useless if he’s not put in offensive situation. Are you going to pair him with Hughes? So he gets the offensive opportunity where you have neither guy playing defense? Or are you going to put him with Oel and force him to play defense when all the talk is about getting him a defensive partner that enables him? Seems like you guys don’t actually watch him play at all.
  18. Every decent player that consider signing in Vancouver will be asking for a full nmc if that’s the case to even consider signing or re-signing in Vancouver if that’s how they ended up treating Myers
  19. Nah Gillis drafting does suck but given his average draft position from each round I don’t expect much if anything and he didn’t surprise drafted mostly duds. At the same time no one gives him any credit for the team success saying it was all previous regime etc etc he did do a bunch of nice moves to compliment the team to get it to the finals. Well not everyone but most. Some even going as far as calling him the worse gm ever. As for benning for a team that finished almost last for many years and missing the playoffs for 8 years. The amount of players he drafted that is still playing for the team or even traded for asset that is still benefiting the team is embarrassing
  20. Lol because I don’t line up with your optimism and your opinion? Then I guess you have some of the worst opinions I’ve seen here too. At least I don’t have unreasonable expectation or optimism about the team or over value every single players/prospects on our team while trashing every other teams and players.
  21. all the pending ufa in those situations are all legit playoff borderline cup contender.. we are neither
  22. Lol klingsberg is a defensive disaster the last 3 season. I’d gladly keep Myers for 2 years before putting 5-6 years at 7+ for klingsberg. If OEL can’t get any PP time what makes u think klingsberg will get any? The canucks have insane amount of forward in their top 9 their Pp2 barely get any minute to begin with. They’ll continue running 4 forwards on both PP so why are people obsess with getting a klingsberg who can’t play defense? He’s -28 for a reason.. the next defenseman is -4 so no it’s not his defensive partner that’s the problem. He ain’t gonna get the QH offensive opportunity and he can’t play defense. So why do we want klingsberg? Try to fit another square peg into a round hole? We need a RHD that is defensively responsible so OEL can be activated if paired.. not another offensively minded defenseman.. that’ll hampered his partner..
  23. Dobson looks a lot better than Myers in his Calder season. Miller and bones I doubt would be enough to get this done. Dobson at this moment is prolly a tier above Schneider. If nyi even thinks about moving Dobson. There will be plenty of bidder in the league and the ask will be no less than chychrun.
  24. I’m sure if we want Dobson.. we will probably be looking at what MT got from Florida territory. Maybe minus weegar and sub in like a hoglander ish.. something like Miller hoglander rathbone and a conditional 1st or 2nd and miller agreeing to an extension ahead of the trade. miller straight up for Dobson wouldn’t even get the convo started. And why would it be good luck if the isles want to keep Dobson? Sure he’s gonna get paid. They have the cap space, and he’s prolly gonna be worth his 8-9mil on a max term contract. So if the canucks were to trade for Dobson. Good luck coz he’s gonna get paid? it’s a pipe dream but I would gladly move Miller hoglander rathbone and a pick for Dobson.. hoglander doesn’t really have a spot in the top 6 and he’s too small for the bottom 6 rathbone really isn’t suited to be a bottom pairing defenseman and we need to find another babysitter like schenn. It would solve our defense prolly one of the best and one of the most lethal top pairing in the league. But it’ll prolly never happen
  25. like i said vegas at no point played with a full healthy roster.. chance of them to have a completely decimated roster the entire year? slimmer than slim? Stone played half the season. Eichel played 1/3 of the season. Lehner played half the season pac played half the season now gone reilly smith played 2/3 of the season karlsson played 3/4 of the season.. basically not a single core guy on that roster other than pietrangleo marchessault and theodore played a full season.. they really lost nothing off their core other than pac and basically replaced by eichel.. you have to be a blind homer to say vegas with a full healthy stone and eichel on the roster will be worse than the bandaid patchwork lineup they had all season last year. it's not call being negative it's call being realistic. all i have said is canucks are not guaranteed a playoff spot. you guys basically took the 1st month under boudreau where the team went on a big winning streak but completely ignored the january feb march and april we are 25-15-9 since january.. ya that's great 15 of the 25 wins are against team that missed the playoffs. we have 10 wins in 27 games against teams that made the playoff since january under bruce tell me how does that record indicate we are guaranteed to be a playoff teams? so what happens if we didnt have a relatively weak schedule with 22 games against non playoff teams in the 2nd half and it was mostly against the playoff teams? .370 winning percentage not point percentage against the playoff teams will = we are guaranteed to be a playoff team? ok let's add the winning streak on there.. we won a grand total of 13 games against playoff teams since boudreau took over the team in 5 months.. so again how does that make us a strong team under boudreau and guaranteed to make the playoff??
