  1. PP1 is loaded up though, I mean Garland replaces Miller on PP1 and we still have 2 centers on 1st PP in Petersson and Horvat. Garland is definitely a good player and also drives to the net too. This is just the result of our team having much better depth.
  2. Have 2 Lethal PP Boeser Horvat Pettersson Garland Hughes Hoglander Miller Pearson OEL Chiasson
  3. Petan is not a regular and should not be a regular in Canucks lineup. He is just another warm body imo
  4. Where is Hoglander and Chiasson?? Petan will be a callup most likely if injuries happen but Dickenson is on 3rd line not Petan. Petan is a career AHLer, only called up if injuries happen
  5. No god, I hope not. If Petan is in the lineup during regular season the we are in trouble.
  6. Was the worst player on ice tonight, both teams included
  7. This game he played like an ECHL player. Terrible on 5-3, terrible in defensive zone and bad passes all night with giveaways. He charged during a 5 on 3 like a powerforward with a puck which ended up in our zone because he didnt like to pass to the 2 extra players we had on the ice. That play kind of pissed me off since 5 on 3 is not that hard to setup in the offensive zone.
  8. I would not be surprised either if he did. Have not been impressed by his play. Still they will gove him more games to see if he plays better.
  9. Yeah, he was not good at all in this game. Should give him more chances to see how his game really looks like. I have seen only 2 games with him playing.
  10. At this point I rather have Lockwood vs. Highmore. Also I like to have Chiasson too. A 4th line of Lockwood-Sutter-Motte would look good and have Chiasson as extra. My opening lineup prediction: Pettersson-Miller-Boeser Hoglander-Horvat-Garland Pearson-Dickenson-Podkolzin Motte-Sutter-Lockwood Chiasson Hughes-Myers OEL-Poolman Juolevi-Rathbone Schenn Hamonic (absent) Demko Halak For the 23 man roster
  11. worst player on ice by far was Nic Petan. Looked like a chicken with his head cutoff and pissed away that 2 man advantage. The 2nd worst was Hunt. Just terrible defenseman. We did deserve to lose this game since most of the roster tonight was AHL players or fringe NHL types.
  12. Podkolzin needs to be on 3rd line, he isnt ready for a top 6 spot. I see lots of pucks being fanned or missed passes. He needs time to adjust on 3rd line before moving up. Pearson can play on top 6 so he will be relied upon if there is injuries to the top 6
  13. The Many Saints of Newark, just saw it today on HBO Max. Best movie of this year so far until I see Dune and matrix. https://imgur.com/a/2ZyPIUy
  14. you really think virtanen would be a star player? He had character issues even before his draft and he was picked too high. The Canucks didnt ruin him since he never had a good hockey IQ and probably general IQ for that matter with what he has done off ice. He never was and never will be a dominant player. Also how come Hoglander, Hughes, Boeser and Pettersson become dominant under Green while Virtanen did not?
  15. You forgot about podkolzin and rathbone already? we would have 3 potential candidates
  16. imagine he wins the calder trophy. Nucks forum will go nuts
  17. This is funny because Canucks are good with drafting. Pettersson, Hughes, Boeser, Horvat, Hoglander, Podkolzin, Demko, Rathbone, Di Pietro etc. They are a lot better than most other teams with drafting and Canucks get all these talents with usually less than 6 draft picks most years. Give Benning 4 picks in the 1st round and he could get a couple of gems out of those 4 picks. No other GM in Canucks history has had this much drafting success.
  18. I would trade 2nd and Guenther for 25 year old Garland every day without even blinking. the 7th round in 2023 is basically nothing. Also getting rid of 12 million dead space to solve our cap problem this year and maybe fix our D for a 7 million dollar OEL. OEL can play in our top 4 and am sure he will rebound with a better coach and team
  19. Dylan Guenther is overrated and an RW. We got the better winger in Connor Garland who is proven. In fact I doubt arizona would have given up Garland for what they picked. I would have been a bit pissed if it was Brandt or Edvinsson but now I know benning did good. Only an overrated Guenther and a great goalie we never needed was on board for 9 and 10
  20. Kraken will make moves to solidify that forward group with 29 mil. left Eichel for 2nd overall pick, Lauzon McCann, Hayden Fleury Tyler Johnson, 2nd round pick and 3rd round pick 2021 for future consideration signing Dougie Hamilton Tarasenko with 2 mil retention for Tyler Pitlick Lineup: Eberle-Eichel-Tarasenko Appleton-Gourde-Donskoi Jankrok-Johnsson-Lind Tanev-Blackwell-UFA Larsson-Hamilton Giordano-Dunn Oleksiak-Soucy Cholowski Macdermid Vinecek Dreiger The rest traded for prospect and picks plus some go to farm
  21. Larsson is worth 4 million per year though
  22. Benning seems to run out of time everytime these signings happen.
  23. not that different from last year. zadorov is similar to Edler in terms of D play and size. we need a true number 1 D like seth jones, hamilton or a good defensive D similar to Tanev like larsson or carlo. If we don't get that type of dman, it will just be same as last year. Zadorov is not that good.
  24. yeah but they wont be playing for free. Holtby at 4 mil is not some huge anchor like eriksson at 6 mil. A reliable backup in free agency will also cost 3 mil or more minimum, not like we will save 4 million. I doubt you can find a 1 million dollar goalie in free agency that is as reliable as Holtby or as experienced.
