  1. Reunite Pearson and coach Sutter, retain a bit if needed and get a pick back
  2. They are wearing them again. What I want to know is when are they going to wear the Black Skate Jersey...long overdue and if Francesco wants $$$ switch the main jersey to those and you can rake in revenue on tons of new merchandise
  3. didn't we basically do a similar move last year trading Hamonic for Dermott to save around 1.5m on the cap. I know it was two seperate trades but if we can recoup a 2nd or even a 3rd round pick or mid round pick AND OTT retain a bit on Zaitsev if we get a later pick I would be all for it. Save cap however possible, I mean our GM thought it was smart to trade a 2nd round pick to clear 1.3m this year so they could then trade for Bear.
  4. Not if we can get One of Ottawa's 2 2nd round picks in 2024 in the deal
  5. A 25yr old RHD John Marino got traded this past off season and certainly did NOT cost a premium to obtain. 31 NHL teams missed the boat on when he got dealt, yes I am including Pittsburgh the team he got dealt from in the 31 teams...was an odd move to trade a young D so they could bring in a higher cap hit older RHD in Jeff Petry
  6. Both teams went to the Stanley Cup final after the trade. Then Nashville traded him to NJ for 2 players who were nothing it seems and TWO 2nd round picks, If it were me I would say Nashville might end up coming out on top if either of those picks can contribute in the NHL
  7. Not sure on his play but he had a fight recently stepping up for a teammate that got hit I believe. Also, thought I read Keeper got some 4th line minutes...not sure if true though. Not a bad idea to convert a player like him to a forward. Tough, can dish out more hits on the forecheck...worth a shot if true
  8. Great effort by the team, nothing to be upset about after this game! Demko was solid, EP scored 2, Boeser got 2 and Lazar came back with some great effort and numerous hits in the first period and got under the skin of the Kings most of the night. Too bad we don't have a game to watch this weekend, practice hard and go out and earn another divisional victory against Vegas on Monday boys!!! Go Canucks Go
  9. High pick, remember watching him when he was with the Penticton Vees...seems high BCHL draft picks aren't worth the risk. Jost, Newhook trending in wrong direction. If we had the cap space I would say we should take a flyer on Jost, but with Lazar coming back we don't have the room to make it happen.
  10. With Jalen Chatfield on the bottom pair right side! I am sure if they could they would add a defender to upgrade over him, but it would be Schenn they might want NOT Myers
  11. wait for it....wait for it...9 assists in 11 games ain't nothing to make a stink about either though... Barzal this season is still WITHOUT a Goal after 17 games, but he has 18 assists... wonder if NYI are trying to ship him out in a cap space clearing sort of way... Fans expect Brock Boeser to be a sniper capable of scoring a ton of goals and forget about his underrated playmaking ability... this team lack a playmaking forward after all!!
  12. I thought they had player goal songs like the Canucks did a few years back...glad that experiment is over with, although if nickelback is our new goal song I don't know what to think...music selection during the game hasn't been the best does the DJ pick the goal song too or do the players have input...maybe the season ticket holders get to send in 3 songs each and the song with the most votes is the goal song for the year? But then people would blame the season ticket holders if they don't like the song...CAN'T Win! haha
  13. The team got the victory to end the road trip! Good thing the Buffalo PP wasn't very good and ours was last night ended up being the difference maker in the end. We had the lead and bent but we didn't break!
  14. Hope the boys put in a good effort to finish off the road trip and come home with a victory! Excited to see Lockwood, hopefully he brings lots of energy and maybe even gets some time on the PK... Go Canucks Go!
  15. If Canucks aren't willing to sign Bo for 7m or up to 8m even then the team should trade him sooner than later while he remains a scoring machine. Also, Canucks GM should try to get the trading team to want to sign Bo long term, ups the return maybe not a ton but more assets the better
  16. Keep Schenn and re sign him already...if he wants to be here. Offer the Laffs Myers with some retention instead
  17. Tocchett and OEL had a poor relationship in Arizona did they not? His play went down him when he was coach, especially offensively. That said, OEL isn't producing offensive here so... I heard someone mention John Stevens, is he on a coaching staff somewhere?
  18. he did take a real good punch to the face, maybe they sit him for the game and insert Lockwood if he can be in Buffalo in time? Podz is a tough kid so probably wants to play through it and after his fight maybe this could help turn his season around! Hoping Podz can develop into a Nichushkin for us with some more seasoning and patience by the team AND fans
  19. I know Garland is still at a good age and could stay here but would we entertain a deal with Pit possibly? Blueger- Injured at the moment and a pending UFA maybe we can retain him and he be a #3C for us? Kapanen- fast forward who can play PK has an extra year at 3.2m- Could Pit retain a bit or take another Canuck to even salaries out in a deal? Draft pick- ideally no lower than a 2nd for Garland Joshua/Stillman/Rathbone/Burroughs(if we won't play him!) some canuck with a low cap hit to even out or come out slightly ahead cap wise
  20. Thanks for the insight! Even if Carolina only viewed Horvat as a rental would think Scott Morrow would be available for a good piece to add at the TDL to help the Hurricanes try to go deep into the playoffs. Horvat may be willing to sign for less term if say he wants to pull a Tavares and play for his Laffs or something. Buffalo is too early to be into trading for Horvat as a rental, and with younger C's they may prefer to let them grow but they may also be willing to trade for Horvat if he came with an extension? Colorado: Would they offer Newhook and a 1st? Even if they did I think we need to target a RHD if we trade a player with good value like Horvat.
  21. Thanks for the update, keep them coming if you don't mind!
  22. If he can turn into a Motte 2.0 for us that would be great. He has speed, he hits, he can PK only downfall some might say about Lockwood is with his size and previous shoulder injuries will his style of game hold up in the NHL...Have to give the kid a legit chance to find out! Any idea if Lockwood would be playing today!?
  23. I hope the team and fans are patient with Podkolzin. I coud be wrong but would a good player comparison be Valeri Nichushkin...he went back to Russia early and still didn't work out in Dallas but found a home with Colorado and was on an early tear this season before the ankle injury. If Pod could morph into someone close to Nichushkin eventually I think that would be a great player for the Canucks to have on their team!
