He's got an excellent shot, with excellent shot placement. He's proven so much already in this playoffs, especially playing with Suzuki. Cole Caufield might have been small, but there's no reason that he can't be an elite sniper, if he isn't already. His size is somewhat mitigated playing on a team that has plenty of size to support him. Suzuki's not even that big of a guy, but his skill is off the charts good. Size advantage is a bias that has been challenged by a shift/skill advantage.

Really? If you thought our prospect pool was bad, you should've seen what it was like under Gillis.

Notice how the only posters who are negative about this are the same ones who find something negative about this team. This isn't realism or pragmatism. Posters like Squamfan are just an embarrassment to sports fans in general, not just the Canucks.

I have no idea what happened behind the Linden debacle, but hopefully AQ leans on the twins as more than just a figurehead position. Also, maybe Linden just wasn't a good exec - we will never know why there was such a huge falling out.

The talking heads talk about Tampa "taking advantage" of the rules that are set in place. The problem is that the rules that were set in place at the time assisted Vancouver in the Luongo contract, yet the team IS penalized for circumventing the cap. New Jersey also had a blatant attempt to go around the cap as well, and so did other teams.

I really agree with this, hence why I would not have been unhappy if Green got canned because of how he handled his players.

I think Canuck Clay/Parker got it wrong about Jasek. They had reported that the Canucks did not qualify Jasek, but such a claim has not been verified thus far. In fact, the Canucks actually have some time (I believe it's the end of July) to qualify his negotiation rights. Given that Jasek only signed for one year, I believe they are not that far apart. I do believe that the Canucks should have given Jasek an opportunity last year, but if not, he should get it after his contract in Finland is done.

[Signing] Canucks sign Vasili Podkolzin
Dazzle replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
So I'm still laughing at how the negative posters are nowhere to be found this entire time. We've had nothing but good news, and yet they aren't here to nag about these signings. Wtf Benning!!! Spend time signing Pettersson and Hughes!!!!!!1 -
Wallstedt can be an amazing starter/backup for Demko. This can be an awesome pick because we'll be set for goalies, and we won't have to worry about spending any additional money in that department. I'm FOR Wallstedt if he's BPA.

Meh. Madden wasn't clearly in the Canucks plans.

WD WAS able to foresee Megna's greatness. I actually feel bad for crapping on WD throughout these years. I always knew he was a good guy, and didn't necessarily have the luxury of having the best rosters. In fact, he probably did more out of scraps and bolts than Green did. -
I think he'll be fine. He just needs some hands-on coaching. He has all the tools and attitude to succeed.

[Signing] Sharks sign Jonathan Dahlen
Dazzle replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Oh, this is just rich coming from you; the poster that blamed everyone else except Dahlen. Dahlen didn't get traded because of a concussion. That much is clear. Having the concussions afterward are unfortunate incidents. I wish them on no one. But the fact remains: Dahlen had a chance to play with Pettersson. All he had to do was play out the AHL year and shut up. Then train hard for the summer, come back for training camp and force his way into a lineup. But noooooo. Here's something from after the Dahlen trade. Did Benning lie about this? https://www.fearthefin.com/2019/2/27/18242765/2019-nhl-trade-deadline-jonathan-dahlen-vancouver-canucks-jim-benning-san-jose-sharks-barracuda “His agent asked me a couple weeks ago if we could move him,” Jim Benning said in his post-trade deadline press conference on Monday. Benning added, “I find young players now, sometimes they don’t want to pay their dues in development time, they just want to be given an NHL opportunity right off the start. “We just felt there was some development left in his game before he’s ready to be given an NHL opportunity. I guess that’s kind of where the discrepancy on what they thought and on what we thought where he was happened.” In response, Dahlen’s agent J.P. Berry admitted to Sportsnet 650’s Rick Dhaliwal, “There was frustration on both sides. We had numerous discussions on how to improve the situation. More recently a possible move was discussed as an option.” -
Motte is found money for Canucks. And they give him for nothing? Not a chance.

[Rumour] Devils interested in Rasmus Ristolainen
Dazzle replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I fully agree. I don't think Baumgartner did a great job last season, but if the players wanted him gone, he would've been. There's probably more to him behind the scenes than what we can see in-game. Maybe Baumer is a positive, humble, hard working guy that players really can relate/respect. When the team sucked like ass, maybe Baumer tried his best to keep players motivated, without resorting to finger pointing. Hughes said Baumer was good during the exit interviews, FWIW. -

I don't think there's a need to throw away assets at this time. Shaw is going to improve a player like Juolevi, FOR SURE. Also, my understanding was that Shaw would be involved in everything, and given how he has so much experience with the D-Core, Baumgartner is never going to be solely responsible for it. I think you can rest easy. -

Yes. Also to be mentioned, this is, I believe, Dahlen's third season there. As someone else pointed out, Karlsson is 2 years younger. I am not impressed with Dahlen's stats at all, given how he didn't actually improve from the year before. -

He (Dahlen) actually regressed when you look at the stats. I have a very sour taste over how Dahlen handled himself here. All this talk about being buddies with Pettersson, but couldn't even finish the year in the AHL and got himself shipped out. -
I can see Brad Shaw turning OJ into an absolute stud that he was supposed to be in the first place.

What's hilarious about this is that Dahlen didn't even wait the SAME YEAR, let alone wait until training camp/the year after to pout about his ice time/usage. He just assumed that he'd get his ice time, and yet didn't enjoy his stints on TWO AHL teams (the one in SJ as well). SJ was near the bottom of the standings at the time of the trade, and STILL couldn't earn the trust of his team to provide offence. Tiimrafan is just gonna make excuses, as usual, about "neanderthal" coaching. Instead of blaming his Dahlen for being self-entitled. I was actually pretty happy about the trade with Burrows. Thought Benning got a STEAL because of his chemistry with Pettersson. Dahlen ruined that. -

Why would this news leak out, if Columbus could trade him at the highest value?
