  1. Not much has really changed. Canucks media and fans have always played our team members against one another. You just did it with Lind and Virtanen. Others have used Podkolzin and Hoglander and even Toffoli. Many of the past whipping boys are a direct result of it. Fans calling for unproven players has always happened and is still happening. Our prospects are just better now. For example, Edler always had haters but the real hatred ramped up after Pedan won the fastest skater and hardest shot. Then Pedan was being held back and we should have traded Edler for a bag of pucks so we could see what we had in Pedan! Sutter hatred ramped up after he called for Goldobin to grow a pair. The new one is Virtanen. One season Goldobin and Boucher scored by cheating up ice. Fans and media started saying things like they shouldn't have to play the system because we need offence; which goes to show that just because we have a lot of people calling for something doesn't make it the best option. Media and fans crying for things should be taken with a grain of salt!!!
  2. Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Virtanen Roussel Sutter/Gaudette S/G again Motte Beagle MacEwen Hawler If Ferland can play that pushes someone out opening day. Probably AG or ZM Loui and Sven pass through waivers and are still options later in the season. Hughes Myers Edler Schmidt Juolevi Benn Rathbone ??? Juolevi and Rathbone can switch up depending on the type of opponent with Juolevi getting more games overall. Benning brings in another RD or prospects fight for the last spot. Demko Holtby
  3. Virtanen is replacing Eriksson in the top 6 not Toffoli. I think he can handle it and brings elements that Loui doesn't. Toffoli was a stop gap for Boeser. Once the COVID effect happened. I doubt he was ever seriously considered. As expected, Benning went goalie, then RD as priorities. Juolevi/Rathbone are replacing Benn/Fanta. Benn/rookie are replacing Stecher unless another acquisition is made. Like a lot of fans, he's undervaluing our role players. If healthy our top players can hang with any team in the League. With the Playoff experience and how they stepped up, we should be in the mix next season.
