  1. meh still better to get higher pick. Maybe our scouts will come up golden again.
  2. True, I will say Powers looks good and Brandt too.
  3. I hope we lose for the sake of drafting higher. Its pointless to go on a win streak. Just play all the young guys now and maybe give Edler and Myers some break. Need to evaluate and see younger guys playing.
  4. No thanks...3 more missed playoff seasons and you can bet miller and horvat will sign elsewhere. How long we need to miss playoffs, am too old now. I might not see them win a cup in my lifetime and I was born in the 80s. Its becoming too pathtic now.
  5. Yeah I just dont know anything about him, except the name of the top picks like powers, brandt and hughes
  6. really? who else is the forward in the draft that we can get? Brandt? I always thought Powers was a forward
  7. I agree, Edler is the one to go. We need cap space to sign Hughes and Petersson.
  8. Owen Powers from this draft
  9. You make it sound like Edler is some Norris winning player who shut down McDavid. I saw some goals against when he was on the ice. The plus minus is not an important stat, because if you only focus on that, then Hughes would be the worst D man in the league. Edler is too slow for the game and needs to retire. Canucks dont need him anymore. We got rid of Tanev, Toffoli, Sedins, Naslund, Bertuzzi, Mitchell, Ohlund, Salo etc. How is Edler any different? If Canucks need help, they can just do trades because the expansion draft will open up opportunitues.
  10. Canucks fans love old washed up players and get nostalgic. They would probably want Bure still playing if he could still walk.
  11. I think players like Gadjovich, Lockwood, Lind, and myabe Graovac or Mckewan should be given chances to play to keep our cap down while having young hungry players playing. Motte can serve as the vet and maybe a good 3rd line center can be acquired during off season. If we cant find one, then I could see Canucks go with Pettersson, Miller, Horvat, Beagle down the middle. Podkolzin-Pettersson-Hoglander Lind-Miller-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Powers Motte-Beagle-Highmore/Gadjovich Hawerlyuk Hughes-Hamonic Rathbone-Schmidt Montour-Myers Joulevi Demko Holtby Out: Sutter, Edler, Roussell, Boyd, Vessey If seattle takes Holtby then bring in Dipietro.
  12. No, I rather the kids play. Time to move on, I rather Benning sign Montour or Manson if he wants to sign Edler. We want to improve not stay stagnant. Even playing Joulevi and Rathbone as regulars is better than playing Edler for 20 minutes again. We will never improve the team if we keep signing up the same old players.
  13. Didn't know Edler was a shut down dman We got rid of our only shut down dman in Tanev last off season. Sign Harmonic as the shut down dman. Schmidt has better D compared to Edler, Same as Myers
  14. Like that lineup. Maybe if they can get an Avs d man due to expansion. Would give up a pick for Timmins since Avs need to protect the others like Toews, Johnson, Girard.
  15. So true, don't get Canucks fans love fest for washed up players. Move on, we didn't make playoffs with Edler this season so why sign him again. People who think we miss playoffs without Edler are so misguided. We got rid of Tanev who was a much better D so in a way we missed the playoffs without Tanev. Edler is not a top pairing D and is worse than Myers now too.
  16. Well then Benning maybe should sign another D man that is tough to play against and can actually defend.
  17. I rather go with Rathbone, joulevi, Hughes, Schmidt, Myers and Harmonic. No need to sign Edler, rather have Tanev than Edler.
  18. Jayce is a dime a dozen player which are readily available in free agency market and can be gotten cheap in FA or waiver wire. We need actual scorers like Lind in the lineup to add to our scoring depth. We also have so many players in the mould of Jayce like Roussel, Motte, Boyd, Highmore etc. etc.
  19. The fact that we still rely on guys like Edler and Sutter shows just how shallow this team is. No depth to push the older vets aside.
  20. Vesey has been so soft and is usually the one that kills plays. I think its time to play Lind and scratch vesey
