I voted for Bo, But the young core , Bo EP BB Hughes etc is why the rebuild is over and now finding the right support is ON!!
-
I will believe the re-build is over when I look at our line-up in Oct. Still lots of stuff that needs to be done: sign BB & Goldy Lose some dead weight Then we will cheer for the Nucks to make the PLAYOFFS and then anything goes!!!
-
no point in trying to figure lines at this point. A lot can happen between now and October. But, I am confident that each move that JB makes is going to make this team stronger and better. I believe we are one top 4 D away from being in playoff contention strongly. If JB can clear some dead weight cap space, we are going on a Joyous Ride folks. I think we make the show and in the second round we will know where we need to upgrade for the following year. You heard it here first!
-
Man folks who believe JB overpaid for Miller just do not understand Hockey Management. WE get a Proven 50-60 point guy if he plays top 6, he is intended to play with EP, What The F is their problem??? Or are those negative Nancy's just pure Gamblers or Idiots listening to the Media spin stories. If a young guy like that was a RFA and was offer sheeted the return would be a first and a third.......wake up doorknobs. Tank Days are done , we be going to the SHOW
-
like he said, we gonna pay his Bonus on July1 , then we see what happens!
-
Coach Green said loui was doing the "little things" but Dang we be paying for "Big Things" ! Remember he was aquired to play with the twins, like he did in International play. It did just not work out!! So, how do we really cut our losses?
-
and remember, hughes is an upgrade over our D from last year already, wait and see what happens next in FA
-
here is my take: - odds are a late first rounder scoring 50-60 points is a major win, Trading a late first round pick for a proven top 6 winger that scores 50-60 is a proven win. - Nucks have to make playoffs next year or this team will implode : our young guns will be miffed our Russian prospects will not learn engrish( no motivation to make the move) - JB is after a UFA defenseman (bigger the better imho) - JB is negotiating to trade for what we need and hopefully clear sum scrugs errr.... I mean quality players with mucho potential, cough cough I don't like to trade a first rounder, but in this case we get something we need NOW! I believe that with the moves that have been made and are about to be made, Nucks will make the show next year..... then anything can happen Goaltending is secure. with eagle and Hughes and one more top4 D we gonna help our goalies succeed with 2 legit top lines Brock alien miller, pearson Bo bear$&!#, hmmmm might need an upgrade there, but if healthy its okay need a lil more grit and muscle and we be good

(Super J) We are not the Oilers, dont need to rush our prospects. Its like asking a kid to shave but he doesnt have any hair on his face, so he shave his balls and he cuts it.... Edited 41 minutes ago by SuperJr 1 Googlie reacted to this Speaking from experience?.........LOL
-
The main reason I like this pick, is that when he comes over, he can drag Groot back with him...... Altho that Boldy was available and I liked that pick better..... but who knows .......throw the dice. when he comes over, we will all be happy.

All the "done" deals will not be announced until the draft, keep it hush hush for maximum exposure when the camera's are on!

Rypien was the best fighter technically. Gino was the beast. -
Poll: Should the Canucks sign Brock Boeser for 8 years
Puckster replied to Sedinyoureyesontheprize's topic in Canucks Talk
I prefer the bridge deal, like 2x6mil or so , then sign him long term if the consistantcy is there. -

2018 "Midget Draft"... am I missing something ??? or are the Nucks focused on filling the needs of Utica?? It's not the weight issue I am concerned about.... ( I played college BBall at 6'4" 150lbs) am now 270 lb couch potatoe. My ideal fighting weight was 205. but I will admitt I had wayy more energy at 150-160. but, hockey is a fast physical game....( Hitting & Fighting inclusive) imagine By-Fug-I'm-Ugly skating down the boards and hitting one of these draftees??? Squash!! Game over 'til concussion recovery! hard to keep head up & avoid that shoulder coming in.... What , the big guys gotta skate on their knees to avoid the head shot??? One would expect the player Safety dept. to establish a minimum height size at some point!!! ( or is a maximum height, coming down the pike??) What on this earth am I missing here??
-
did we just become the smallest D in the NHL???? or was this a Utica pick??? we are gonna get creamed in the def zone, someone explain the rationale here???

I for one am happy that we got something for Lu! I am also happy that Kesler is still a Canuck! He is one of the guys that can really put the team on his back and carry us, its proven. Why would we part with a player like that , that does it all???? Get him some young forwards to play with and lets go.......probably wait til next year. Kass will be a year older and experienced bring some prospects in. kesler really needs a puck distributor on his line.....because his problem is is that he is great face off man but a lousy distributor. Has great control and a better shot, and good IQ.

LUONGO TRADED to Florida - Official Discussion Thread
Puckster replied to -SN-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Man, I am happy for Lu But...... 1/3 of you guys wanted him bought out.....another third wanted a bag of pucks to get rid of his contract..... and the other third of us wanted him to stay and be #1. However, Lack's performance as of late vaulted him above Lu and another contraversy was under way. Good job Gillis for getting something for him, lets hope they work out , but hey we still saved some a lot of cap space!!! -
I think a lot of us are totally missing the point here. Torts decides who plays when. So why did he feel the need to sit Lou? to put Lu in his place and gain control of the locker room? Remember, Lu used to be Team Captain and is clearly a leader in the locker room. Maybe , just maybe, Torts needed that locker room control for himself. I can see this as a clear possible outcome. Its a battle of wills and control. lets see where this goes, before we throw anyone under the Bus.

Man, this Game was the one of the best games I have seen the Nucks play since the days of Odjick!!! Awwsome. I think our coach has finally hit on the team building blocks and used this game to make a statement. We lost by one goal and I believe that the officiating , or lack thereof, cost us the game. the bias shown to LA because they have the reffing GURU's son on their team, it's like the NHL refs have adopted LA as one of their own and will protect it come hell or highwater!!! I do not know what kassian said to the ref's to warrant the 2 10 min misconducts but I have never seen so many stupid calls in all my 42 years of watching the Nucks. But , i am very pleased with the pushback and aggression our guys displayed. They manned up and became a team, in my eyes. if the refs will not make the proper calls to protect our stars, then our fists will answer the bell in spite of them!!! Canadian Hockey at it's finest. Whooo Whooo!!! And to Stestito, my respect to you, you have improved your fighting skill over last year and I am happy to see you back up your teammates , awsome!! I am going to get a jersey with your Name on it!!!

Too Early to call Kassian a dissapointment?
Puckster replied to Go Go Canucks Go's topic in Canucks Talk
If 2 or 3 Posters believe that Kassian needs some serious Farm time, tell me how does one get him there without him being picked up on waivers???
