Bring back Vanek next year? Yay or nay?

One decent forward UFA please.
Kane at the high end of acceptable, Bozak, Vanek, but only one. No probs for some PTO's in case the young guys ain't ready. Wont panic if a Gaudette, Juolevi or Dahlen starts in Utica. They should play a fair bit in the bigs.
Utica should be pretty good? Lind, Jasek, Brisbois, Brassard, Sautner, Palmu, Gadjovich, maybe Dahlen etc. Weak at C? Unless EP & Gaudette play there??

Jake and EP may eventually be great together. Jake has strength, speed, physicality that EP "lacks". EP has the IQ, playmaking, dangles that Jake "lacks".

Sutter was 6th on the team in goals last year (including Vanek), while playing hard minutes in a shutdown role despite missing 20 games. He was also one of our few + players. He is far from the offensive black hole you portray him as. LE wasn't far behind and wasn't a minus player either. These guys won't create a ton of offense but they won't drag a line down due to their presence.

Just heard Jordan Peterson speak live. Thoughts about him in general?

He's got a lot of interesting things to say and he knows his stuff when it comes to psychology. He tends to ramble on about theories and conjecture when it comes to philosophy and I don't often agree with his philosophy, but I still find him very interesting to listen to anyways. I also enjoy his political opinions most often as well.
-
He's incredibly smart and makes a lot of good points often in his debate. I actually only started becoming familiar with his work recently so it's interesting seeing his name pop up on CDC. I'm on the same wavelength on a lot of what he has to say but the radical leftists are always on a witch hunt for anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Yannick Weber. Wow.

How do you guys get out of a rut?

I'm thinking he was uninsured.?

Auston Matthews might get 11m. Makes Bo look like a huge bargain. Take two Bo s over one Auston any day.

Might the league want AM in Arizona? Could he save that franchise?

Would you do Tanev, Baerstchi and our 2018 First (Non-Dahlin) for Sam Reinhart?

Sam isn't going to be a 1C. I love Sam and I will always cheer for him there is no other player I have followed so intensely and for so long.
His development hasn't gone the way a lot of people thought it would. He won't be that perrenial 70+ point center. He's more than likely going to stay as a wing and be a 55-65 point player. I could see 70+ as a career high.
-
Is it bad I can't wait for next season to start already?? This is going to be a long off season...
-
19 y/o Sergachev defenceman has the same number of points as 22 y/o Drouin winger. Yikes.
-
Brock probably won't win ROY but Petterson sure as heck will. And probably MVP too.
EDIT: IN THE SHL THIS SEASON.

@J-23Why? The Canucks are almost as bad as the Sabres!
-
I think he'll do well in his career. I just don't want the Sabres to rush him into the lineup and burn a year off of his contract. The Sabres aren't a playoff team and won't be for another 2-3 years at the least unfortunately. It all depends on how quickly Jason Botterill can build up a decent roster.
-
Here's how I see it: We paid nothing for Vanek and Holm ergo Benning got us Leipsic and Motte for free. That's a win in my books

@zzbottom who are you addressing?
-
@zzbottom - I'm not sure how I'm being hyperbolic. Perhaps my opinion of a good draft is overstated because of our franchises historically terrible at drafting, but Benning has been very good so far based on how our prospects are projecting.
Boeser has been fantastic. Tryamkin has been fantastic (issues with him not returning are irrelevant to Jim's choice to draft him), Virtanen has been admittedly a bad pick. However, Benning picked Pettersson who has been shatting SHL records set by the Sedins and Peter Forsberg and hes outpacing William Nylander by a wide margin. Lind and Gadjovich are looking like steals based on their draft position. DiPietro and Demko are both doing very well for their draft positions.
Overall Benning has done great with the draft. Giving him more bullets in the chamber would only be a good thing for this team.
-
Why doesn't Virtanen hit anymore? He's looking like Mason Raymond out there
-
Dreamt that we drafted Dahlin, traded Tanev for Cal Foote, and Tryamkin came back:
Dahlin-Tryamkin
Juolevi-Foote

@Scottish⑦Canuck daisy Ridley and mark hamill, maybe even others, both have said before the movie came out the script was terrible.
They were interviewed before the release of the movie

@peaches5source?

Do the Canucks have the most Swedish players on their team in the NHL?
-
Would you rather have Clayton Keller or Matthew Tkachuk?

Tony Gallagher is the most annoying and ill-informed man in sports broadcasting history.

Gallagher loves skill and he's grumpy when the Canucks aren't doing all they can to get skill. He was by far the happiest (well, happy for Gallagher anyway) when the Sedin's and Vigneault were the Kings of Vancouver. He has high expectations and a realist, which can come off as being anti-Canuck, but if you know that slant going in, he doesn't seem so doom and gloom.

tony had a grudge against pat quinn. he used his column to attack quinn. every column. one game, the canucks won like 7 to 1. tony's column said the canucks played well, and then added in, no thanks to pat quinn. when pat died, tony wrote, i don't know why it took me so long to like him. i always thought the province should fire him for that but maybe he sold papers. i quit buying the rag.

No one complaining about Pettersson now
-
Loving Boeser and Juloevi together.
-
Thoughts on Juolevi joining Pettersson in the SHL? Build chemistry together and play in a men's league; better than the OHL for sure.

People though Virtanen had nothing to prove in the OHL either but maybe it would have been better for him to play another year. For his offensive confidence and with knowledge of what to work on on an OHL playing schedule if nothing else.

@Where's Wellwood Virtanen played in the WHL
