So exciting to see Forsell do so well at 19 in SHL regular season and now in playoffs ..

I sure hope Johansson come to NA after his SHL playoffs are over and play some AHL game learns systems easier transition for next season. I am excited to see Johansson develop. Forsell 19 is having a great SHL season and playing on the 1st line so exciting and only 19..

Jones 29 at start of next season with 5yrs X 9.5 million big no for me we already are up against cap and another older player big pass. We need to make cap room and surround key players we have now with cheaper D men under 5 million. Hughes 23 -LD- ____- Maybe Livingstone 23, 6'4 RD -- Hope we can sign his after college season at end of March maybe sooner? Hronek 25 -RD ______. Would be nice to find a big LD man like Graves 6'5, 225 lbs grit, toughness defensive guy ? 4.3--4.8 million Bear 25 -RD ___ resign 1 yr X 2.2 million show me more Johnasson 23 RD -SHL - should be coming to NA soon maybe play some games in Abby. Could make team next season? Juulsen 25--- RD - Has looked good this season Brisebois 25 LD - sign 2 more years - Has looked good Wolanin -27 LD - has looked good also

Sure hope Reinbacher 6'2 is around between #8--#10 pick so hard to find young RD ..Dvorsky 6'1 C would be a good pick

I agree and if drafting between #8 and #10 , I really like Reinbacher 6'2 RD

Played in 7 games at world JR tournament? Top 3 D man in this draft

If he is such a train wreck how did he make 2023 U20 world JR team as a 17 years old??? He is a decent player.. Not many D man make WJ U 20 at 17 and Sweden always has a good team..

Not a Pylon and not a stupid pick???Reinbacher RD - 6'2 another good one between # 7--10

Top 2 D men in draft are both RD- Reinbacher 6'2 would love Canucks to draft this guy when they draft between 8th --10th pick. The other RD is, A. Sandin Pelikka 5'11.. RD are so hard to find. Like Dvorsky 6'1 C , if he is around at #8.. So many of the forwards in the draft are so small between #5--#11....Benson so small playing with great players so stats are higher.. Really liked Heidt PG Cougars on a average team

Sorry I agree with you and not Alf.. Glad we never signed Horvat 8 yrs X 8.5 Million -- Always said Horvat is a 55 -64 point player 25-32 G solid 200 foot game, PP Since will NYI GP 17 - G 5 --- PTS 9 -- Horvat is worth 6.8 - 7.4 million Tops Happy with trade Raty future #2 C -- Beauvillier 27 W --speed should produce 22-25 G -- 46-50 points. - 1st rounder part of Hronek deal --yes yes Hronek 25 - RD plays 22-24 mins Top 25 NHL D man - He makes Vancouver a better team and so hard to find the RD man with talent.. Cost for sure -- 1st and 2nd rounder..

I agree with you Myers will be easy to move after July 1st Bonus is paid 1 million remaining to be paid. Team under cap will love that contract Ducks and Coyotes . I think 1 or 2 of these players will be moved - Boeser 26 ( 6.7 mil ) - Garland 27 - 4.9 mil -- Beauvillier 25 - 4.1 million Livingstone 23 - 6'3 RD - Solid college player think he will sign and play beside Hughes Graves 27 - 6'5 LD - Big gritty , toughness defensive guy - UFA ? 4 yrs X 4.4 -4.8 ? Would look great beside Hughes Bear - 1 yr X 2.2 million RD - show me more deal Brisebois 25 LD - signed 2 yrs - depth looks good Juulsen 25 - RD - Should sign depth guy and looks good playing with Hughes for 9 games Wolanin 27 - LD - should sign, Also looks good in 11 games this year Johansson 23 RD -- He could make team next season ? Forwards - Need 3rd line C under 2 million ---- 4th line winger will fill Di Giuseppe -Karlsson -- ( Hoglander 3rd line next season - speed, skill ready for NHL.. Maybe backup under 1.5 million there are some veterans 28--32 ?? Or they might decide on Silvos might be little early ? Silovs 22 - could fill 15 games NHL --- 45 AHL games he is close to backup ready full time... Demko 27 -- Top 10 goalie -- 50 -55 NHL games 2023-24 Dermott 26 -RFA - will not resign Pearson 30- LTIR --- Buy out if he gets healthy enough Poolman 29 - LTIR

Come on kids 20 years old moved to NA last summer to play with NYI and the farm to for 5 months? Then traded to Vancouver the adjustment takes time.. Still a high prospect in the hockey world.. Just to let you know not everyone makes the NHL at 20yrs old but he will be a #2 OR # 3 Centre in Vancouver before he is 22 years old.

Having Joni Jurmo 20 years old LD -6'3 -207 lbs, skates well gem in the making how can anyone not be excited about this prospect. Season is over sure hope he comes over to NA and develops with group in Abby.. Like his size and the way he plays the game.. Hope he signs ELC soon... Go Jurmo Go! Always excited for prospects like this.. Develop slow maybe ready by 2024-25 season see how development goes...

I like the signing will get 7--10 game look.. Hard work in summer on his skating will have his transition to NHL.. I think he will need to play 50--60 AHL games next season and if he is playing well he will see NHL time 10--15 games? Good signing size 6'2- 200 lbs has a great shot and some talent... Cheering for him hope he develops with new group no rush..

Canucks have to add 2 D man first and foremost.. 1. Hronek RD- ______ Graves 27 -6'5 - 225 lbs defensive style guy with some grit and size 4million -4.5 ? 2. Hughes LD- _______ Livingstone 23 - 6'3 would be a good signing and a nice cap hit ELC 3. OEL -- Bear RD - ((Johansson RD - -Might be his spot ?? )). Juulsen RD -- Brisebois LD - Burroughs LD - Need to trade Myers after his 5 million dollar bonus is paid . New team has 1 million dollars left with 6 million dollars toward cap ceiling for teamsLike Coyotes and Ducks will be below cap floor.. - Need to trade 2 of Boeser 26 - 6.7 mil / Garland 27- 4.9 mil / Beauviller 25 -4.1 -- would like to keep Beauvillier playing well with Petey Kuzmenko - Pettersson - [Beauvillier] Mikheyev - Miller - [ ] Hoglander Podkolzin - [ ] - Kravtzov Joshua - Aman - [ Di Giuseppe Phillips -- L. Karlsson - **** find another gem like Joshua with size and grit *** Need to find a 3rd line C under 1.5 million remember Canucks will be up against cap. the 4 th line Winger will be easy to find in system Might need to sign a backup goalie under 1.5 million?? Deciding these combination for forwards has to be a good friendly contract to add.. The 2 defensemen are most important so Livingstone on ELC would be fantastic.. Another D like Graves would be fantastic-- Size, Grit, Defensive guy much needed and age 27..He will demand between 4.2 -- 4.8 X 4yrs UFA

I agree 2 of Boeser 26 --6.6 mil / Garland 27-- 4.9 mil / Beauvillier 25-- 4.1 mil -- Hope they keep Beauvillier out of the 3? 1.Beauvillier -- Petey - Kuzmenko 2. Hoglander - Miller - Mikheyev 3.Kravtsov -- Aman -- Podkolzin 4. Joshua --Karlsson -- _______ McDonough 23- 6'2 -W- Will need to season in AHL 40-50 games next season -- Maybe 20 NHL games next year Skating needs work Raty 20 - 6'2 - C - Will need to season 50 AHL games --- Say 25--30 NHL games next season #3 C Defence 1.Hronek -- _____ ----UFA or trade LD big stay at home some grit? Graves 6'5 -225lbs gritty 2. Hughes - _____ --- Livingstone 6'3 RD would fit the bill feeling he will sign in Vancouver...Fingers crossed 3. OEL -- Bear RD - Johansson RD --Juulsen RD --- LD Brisebois --LD Burroughs Myers - moves after his signing bonus is paid July 1st of 5 million-- Only 1 million owing to new team and new team get cap hit of 6 million-- Will help teams Ducks and Coyotes getting to cap floor.. Goal 1.Demko --top 10 keeper --55 Games 2. _____ ? Silovs 12-15 NHL games -Delia 12--15 games -- ( Vancouver might sign veteran backup ????)) Vancouver could easily be knocking on wildcard spot - RT has his mini season ending plan in place with systems ? Adding players in trades.. Could be a exciting season 2023-23.. Go Canucks Go !!!

Would be great to find another gem like Joshua 6'3 -210 lbs this summer- gritty , speed need this in tough games and never crosses the line with stupid penalties...

Way better to have Hronek and Hughes apart.. Both are so talented and Vancouver will have 2 very good parings.. The 3rd pairing should handle 15 mins per game.... 1. Hronek -- _____ Maybe Graves 6'5 -225lbs LD 2. Hughes - _____ Maybe Livingstone 6'3 RD -- Hope Allvin can sign this top college player after his college playoffs in March sometime.. 3. OEL. _____ Bear 25 RD - Johansson RD -23 --Juulsen 25 RD ---- LD-- Burroughs - Brisebois

Not easy to move the OEL contract with 4 more years plus NTC he can choose where he goes? Remember the year before Vancouver trade for OEL at that time he would only waive his NTC to Boston or Vancouver... Benning was in drivers seat knowing Coyotes wanted to move this crazy contract? We trade away 3 players X 9 million X 1 year- expire contracts--- We take back OEL 8.2 X 7 yrs and bonus for us Garland -- That should of been the trade at most.. OH OH .. we give Coyotes 10th O/A pick and a 2nd rounder... Such a bad trade with Benning knowing Coyotes really want to move this OEL with so many years left. Such a mess and 4 years left..

OEL will be a Canuck for a few more years too expensive to buy out with 4 yrs remaining.. No real room for Rathbone? I like Rathbone just never really had a good long look in Vancouver.. 1. Hronek 25 RD - Graves 27 LD ((stay at home D man 6'5 -225 lbs toughness and grit (UFA - 4 yrs X 4--4.5 million ?) 2. Hughes 23 LD - Livingstone 23 RD 3.OEL. 30 LD. -- Bear 25 RD ( sign 1 yr X 2.2 million ) or Johansson 23 RD-- Spare Juulsen 25 RD --Burroughs 27 LD - ((Brisebois 25 LD signed))

I agree I think they will move Dermott now with Hronek and maybe signing Livingstone soon? Sign Bear and package Dermott still RFA this summer.

Yes agree fix the D.. After Myers bonus is paid of 5 million July 1st only 1 million is owing.. Easy to move him to a team that needs cap space and it only cost the new team actual 1 million Dollars and they receive 6 million on there salary.. I say Ducks will want the salary maybe receive 3rd rounder,,, If Canucks can sign Livingstone 23 - 6'3 RD he should fit beside Hughes. Try and sign Graves 6'5 225 lbs 27 LD Already traded for Horonek RD top 30 NHL D man, awesome player will add lots to this team.. Everyone knows RD are hard to find and he is a top 30 NHL D man. 1. Hronek Top 30 NHL D man - Graves LD 6'5 2. Hughes Top 10 NHL D mn - Livingstone 6'3 RD 3. OEL --- Bear RD. ---extra D men Filip Johansson 23 RD -- Juulsen 25 RD - -- Burroughs 27 LD -- Wolanin 27 LD - Brisebois 25 -LD Trade Boeser or Garland - maybe both players?? ----- Retain 1 million on Boeser contract to make it work easier X 2 yrs---- should receive 2nd or 3rd rounder or young prospect in return. Dermott ?? Dont resign Poolman - concussion - LTIR Pearson 30 ? LTIR Rathbone -- Needs a new home no future here-- I like this D man never had a real good look? Package has talent 1. Beauvillier - Petey - Kuzmenko 2. Mikheyev -- Miller --Hoglander 3. Podkolzin -- ___ -- Kravsov 4.Joshua --- Aman ________ Healthy Demko and no serious injuries this team should be in Playoff race next season-- Defence and structure will be much better..

Adding Graves 6'5 -220lbs - LD toughness stay. at home D man - PK ----1. Graves - Hronek Adding Livingstone 6'3 -205 -RD would fit very nice with Hughes 2. Hughes - Livingstone 3. OEL -- Bear RD ---Juulsen 6'2 RD --Burroughs LD- Broisbois LD

Sorry ugh, Hronek RD -25 - 6'0 - 190 lbs

If we just paid a 1st rounder and 2nd rounder for Hroneck RD - 25 -6'0 -- Girard 25 May -- 5'10- 180 lbs shoots L - LD/RD 4yrs remaining at 5 million--- Lets pass another small D and Hronek will demand 5.5 -6 million soon. Go after Graves 27 - 6'5- 220 LD -adds toughness should sign under 4 million X 4yrs would be a good signing.. Girard another small D man... 1.Hughes LD - Jake Livingstone RD. 6'3 age 23 will sign before March 29th 2. Horonek RD - Graves LD 6'5 -220 3. OEL - Bear RD --( Juulsen RD) - Burroughs LD - Brisebois LD
