This has been my argument about why mcdavid really isint separated from the rest of the leagues high end superstars, you can put up insane numbers but when you can’t play both sides of the puck you have to take away all those defensive mistakes out of the offensive numbers, but because it’s McDavid not one person ever agrees on that take, I just hate when opinions are changed because of a players name, obviously it’s not as extreme with CM but it’s still something everyone turns a blind eye to and miller is taking a licking over it this year from the drance boys. Guess what he will be just fine and “outscoring” his own defensive woes soon enough

Agreed 8x9 this summer for petey

We starting a thread for every place boeser is linked to now?

Nope I am thinking of the first round pick of detroits svechnikov, I’ve watched plenty of his game there is lots of skill there and has a bit of bite which allows for him to play bottom 6 role

Okay I will agree with he’s not as strong skater, but saying BB can’t shoot is not fair, when he was put in shooting situations he excelled, also his production from being on pp2 and 3rd line mins most the season is quite remarkable. I think the injury has played into his psyche a little bit and he will regain that aspect of his game…. That being said I am ready to move along from him I have no issues with that, I just think there is more value from him than people are letting off here

Svechnikov might be worth a flyer on, maybe he would mesh with the other Russians we brought in

Why is everyone talking about trading schenn here? This team is looking like it’s surging towards a playoff spot, he’s been one of the main leaders on this team, we ain’t trading him for picks right now I can promise you that!

That is not enticing to me at all

What’s with peoples obsession with Carlo? He’s on his what 4th concussion in 3 years… sadly I don’t think the guys gunna pull off a lengthy career Rutherford is atleast giving us a plan and direction what everybody criticized JB for sure things are not moving quite yet but he also took over in a flat cap world and a league shortage of right shot defencmen nobody else is going to come in and convince other gms to let go of there’s, be patience this new regime hasn’t even had a year yet

Lock this thread up!!! It didn’t happen quit your whining move on!!!

Thanks @Vintage Canuck

What time is the waiver deadline?

Just here to LOL at the people still not over OJ, prob the same people still letting benning live rent free in their heads, beyond me how people look in the rear view mirror rather than the road infront… every team has what ifs in their history GET OVER IT! And stop listening to that imbecile Drance! He doesn’t know a god damn thing about hockey!

We escaped 2 expansion drafts with only losing sbisa and lind…. Waiver wire guys

He’s been okay at the AHL level he has been okay at the Ahl level, he’s 24 soon to be 25 tho he has time to put it together and maybe be a 5/6/7 type guy one day but yes completely agree not a project that makes sense for us

Remember when Sean Day was supposed to be generational talent when he was like 14

The one I don’t understand is how people actually listen to drance… has that guy been right about anything since he started covering the Canucks? He throws terrible click bait as he rants off about fake issues he creates

Even if they tank and finish last which is still unlikely it would be a 80% chance bedard goes somewhere else and michkov signed a 5 year deal in khl

Bowen Byram just started developing and they also add girard to their lineup again, kuemper was playing with one eye and kadri missed half the playoffs and came back with one working thumb, also newhook is primed to take another step as well…. I’d argue they are potentially better

Could I get a ….suck it Taj!

They will have to mortgage their future to bring kane in…. They become a much softer team than they already are, I’m hoping they make this mistake! Kane isint the player he once was

Hahaha yes nail on the head here pal!

Wrong wrong wrong, so if you have Bergeron back checking every shift compared to kane back checking every shift who’s plus minus is that going to help?? If your d partner is riley stillman compared to pelechs what’s that do to your plus minus? If you got vasilevsky or lankinen in net does that affect your plus minus? Yes it does

That could also work against your argument, but like cmon you actually looking at +/-? Notice how well it looked when he played on good teams? Hmmmmm

I was worried we would see bedard in black and yellow thank god these 2 resigned
