  1. Both of them are showing good leadership along with Hughes so why not have all A's for next year anyway.
  2. One noticeable thing is that when a structured team comes in and plays a fast predictable game, we used to give up too many high danger chances. We're now keeping up with that structured speed now and threatening our own structured game right back at them. Like it.
  3. Podz and Kravtsov looking good. Boeser could have had a hat trick and upped his trade value but hey good game overall and the tanker Gauntlet has been thrown down to the bottom feeders 5th overall pick prediction.
  4. In the immediate future I would think OEL will partner with Hronek and could do well if he's healthy IMO PA will have 2 major moves to make. Unload Myers with a prospect (Rathbone) and eat some salary- everyone would hate this but starting training camp without Myers would be in win Stay at home RD for Hughes without trading more picks! If those two transactions take place over the summer we're in pretty good shape to be competitive.
  5. That sounds right. Millers best year was when he was deployed as our 2nd line center behind Petey. Before he was injured, his game was looking good without Horvat and with Tocchet. I see that continuing next year as Tocchet/ Miller seem to have striked up a good arrangement. The 7.2 Million dollar questions is can OEL have a bounce back year in 23-24 like last year. If healthy and with a bonafide top 4 RD that will do the offensive work I believe he can. The buyout as absolutely ugly so any way to avoid would be best. Raty hopefully will be that 3C , just not sure about next year but he certainly has the potential and is working hard at his faceoffs which will be key. Still lotsa work to do!
  6. I believe Miller is that 2C we were looking for so a solid 3C and 1- Top 4 Defensive D man would be at the top of the list
  7. A Top 4 RD that should put up 50P a year , can played defense, +8 on an almost all minus team. That's what it costs and we still have our top 5-6 pick Now some how , some way unload ......
  8. Can't believe there's still 2 days and 21 hours to the deadline. This felt like deadline day
  9. Schenn would be 7-8 on the leafs depth chart. He probably would slide in if Tampa's spanking TO in the first round again
  10. There's nothing better then PODZ scoring a goal. He's worked his butt off so hope this lifts his confidence. Nice to see Raty get in on it too.
  11. The problem with Dickenson was an over pay by JB and he was barely making the line up. Hated giving up the 2nd but glad he's gone. 5.2M off our books through next season
  12. Hughes- X OEL - Bear(re-sign) X - Myers( try to move with asset) X- Burroughs Still remains to be seen if they move Schenn This should be an interesting summer to say the least. If something can be done with Myers without throwing a 2nd rounder or top prospect in, it will be a win Starting to believe PA may not be the best in the media, but who cares if he gets the job done behind the scenes.
  13. Silovs is on his way... Did great last 2 games and maybe our Demko BU down the road
  14. yeah, i think he was the one referred to mostly when Tocchet was commending Abby on their structured players coming up to bigs
  15. Maybe they can move Myers , eat 40% salary, no picks , throw in some cap space on a separate deal and then we're really talkin.
  16. Impressive PA! I thought we would be on the hook next year for Stillman.
  17. Third it, Stillman was improving under Boudreau after his rough start. Tocchet here has helped him take a further step. He's aggressive at times, show some offensive flair at times so now it comes down to positioning, simplicity and consistency for him. He has the tools. Like most Canucks D, playing him with Myers puts him in positions to fail and the only player I would somewhat trust with Myers is an RD on the trading block. Therefore we either bench Myers or Stillman will get the call most nights without OEL.
