  1. Klingberg is garbage. You are comparing someone that has worst defense than Tyson Barrie with Hronek who was one of the best defensive D man on Detroit last season with offense to boot?? Might as well compare Pietrangelo to Klingberg and call them the same. They aren't and we paid a fair price to get Hronek, a dman that is pretty rare to get in today's NHL.
  2. This is why we need 2 more guys and Myers gone. Myers is more of a 7th dman nowadays and he really is terrible most nights. Tanev and a big trade for Pesce would be best for both long term and short term. Even after Tanev and Cole are gone after short term deals, we would still have Hronek, Hughes, Peace, Soucy on long term deals and possibility of Willander joining in a couple of years on an ELC contract paired with either Hirose or Rathbone.
  3. That statement is only true if we get rid of Myers and get Tanev in a trade for Calgary. Hughes-Tanev Cole-Pesce Soucy-Hronek Hirose, Bear, Wolanin, Irwin Now that's a bullet proof D 6 top 4 NHL defenders with 4 NHL caliber defenders as depth. Cole, Pesce, Soucy can hit and bring size, Tanev is elite in defense and Hronek and Hughes provide world class offense. Hirose and Bear provide more offense and good two way D. Demko and Silovs provide the goaltending that every team wants.
  4. Trade both Boeser and Garland to Calgary for Hanifin and Tanev and then we are done Hanifin-Hronek Hughes-Tanev Soucy-Cole Myers, Bear, Hirose, Wolanin, poolman Now that's contending level D with lots of depth. 6 NHL dman to go with 5 NHL level depth dman. We can trade either Bear or Myers for some wingers. Forwards would still be: Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Beau Pearson-Miller-Mikheyev Podkolzin-Dries-PDG Joshua-Aman-Blueger Not a bad forward group to go with that defense and Canucks would give up a lot less goals with better defensive forwards in Mikheyev, Blueger, Beau, Aman etc.
  5. That was due to Canucks needing cap desperately before July 1. You are crazy if you think Garland at 4.95 mil still needs a sweetner added in order to be traded. Canucks won't budge
  6. Why is Cole on the 3rd pairing?? Hughes-Pesce Cole-Hronek Hirose-Wolanin
  7. Nah I feel like Kudryatsev will be another Forsling we give up on without even giving him a chance in the NHL
  8. Karlsson has a big contract and can't play D. Also he is getting older so SJ is moving a huge contract and getting low cap hit young players and futures for it. It's better than getting nothing for Karlsson and Karlsson isn't worth a whole lot due to age and cap hit
  9. Isn't Yamamoto just bought out by Detroit and Zadina co tract will be terminated soon by the Wings??
  10. That's actually a pretty solid D group even with Myers on the 3rd pairing. Would make us a playoff team for sure
  11. I think Canucks should trade either Boeser or Garland, gain cap space and sign Yamamoto and Zadina to cheap 1 year deals at 1 mil per year. This would give time for prospects like Hoglander, Podkolzin and Likker to develop in AHL. Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Beauvillier Garland-Miller-Mikheyev Zadina-Blueger-Yamamoto Joshua-Aman-Nielsen Zadina and Yams could be great as 3rd line scorers, while Boeser gets traded to make cap space
  12. Atleast it's better than Marcel Marcel drafted by Chicago
  13. Both Bedard and Macklin will come to Vancouver once their contract is up
  14. So we are done in the draft this year
  15. Drafted 4 D's this year is great Willander Hunter Mynio Celebrini
  16. Love this pick for Canucks, Aiden Celebrini
  17. He seems underrated but he has good potential. Could be a sleeper pick
  18. He seems underrated but he has good potential. Could be a sleeper pick
  19. Benning was actually good at drafting with Judd when he was here. We got Pettersson, Hughes, McCann, Boeser, Hoglander, Podkolzin, Forsling, Demko etc. I don't know the performance of new management in drafting but we will see in a few years
  20. I am generally happy with 1st and 2nd round and 3rd round was ok too with Mynio and 6'6 Victor. Those top 3 rounds generally produce NHLers so I guess it's not too bad if 4th round was questionable. As long as our 1st 3 rounds was good, we should be fine.
  21. Yeah not sure about our draft performance. This was the area usually where Benning shines while laying turds in other areas lol. So maybe we got weaker at drafting now
