  1. We need to keep him. 4 years at 5.5 million.
  2. Honestly, I think it had a big part in it. The Panthers game there was no retribution, and they played again in Jan.. so they wanted to put that fire out with a Matheson suspension.
  3. Yeah and your always negative. You should check out HF boards.
  4. I think Boeser gets about the same as Nylander. Maybe half a million per year more on a long term deal.
  5. I loved the McCann trade. Rumoured locker room cancer for a big strong stay at home D who is a leader. Also having a good year after signing a good contract.
  6. So I guess he’s winning rookie of the month again? 2/3 months not bad. Who is the last player to do that I’m wondering?
  7. Definitely want to keep Hutton going forward. Left side defense is looking good. Eagle, Hutton, Hughes and Juolevi.
  8. That was a beauty pass on the PP last game. By the time we are a contender he and Virtanen should have it all figured out hopefully.
  9. Horvat reminds me a bit of Brian Trottier. Probably the best deal in the NHL right now. Definitely a crime if he doesn’t make the all star game with Petterson.
  10. So glad we got this guy. Exactly what we needed on this team going forward. If he turns into a Brian Leetch type we may be in for another golden age for Canucks fans.
  11. I think he will end up on PP1 eventually. Net front presence with Horvat down low.
  12. I hope he can turn into a Brian Leetch type guy. Here’s hoping!
  13. This last stretch of games has just shown by how valuable Brock is. The last game he played, he and Pettersson had 9 points. Since then, Pettersson has one point I think. The Canucks are being very smart keeping him out till he’s 100%.
  14. Haven’t watched the last 2 games but I’m sure he’s just tired like everyone else. Looked like he might have hurt his hand/wrist as well. When he gets some rest and Boeser back, I’m sure he will start producing again.
  15. Right here. I’ve said I was wrong about Pettersson about 20 times now. To be honest, I was just pissed we didn’t take Vilardi at the time and took it out on Pettersson who I had like 8th on draft day. After I calmed down I realized he wasn’t a bad pick at all just that he was “skinny” but you know who else people doubted cause he was skinny?
  16. Consistency.Jakes still playing one great game, then two mediocre games. One good game every three games isn’t good enough. You can see the potential though. I like the kid I hope he figures it out and becomes a key player in our future playoffs success.
  17. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong in my life. Wanted Vilardi and got Swedish Gretzky instead. It was obvious last year when he won Swedish playoff MVP he was going to be good, but this good? His release reminds me of Sakic.
  18. Yes your probably right. I’m talking in general terms though. Virtanen can create room and a bit more protection then Erickson can. Erickson has played ok so far this season but he’s a cream puff.
  19. I’ve been a hardcore fan for 25 years. I don’t panic. Just see what I see. Like I said I’ll give him a chance.
  20. Until he’s a little older, stronger and more mature he will need to be sheltered physically. We were lucky enough to be gifted a star player. Let’s protect him at all costs. Put Virtanen on his line instead of Erickson. Virtanen isn’t much of a fighter but at least he’s not a cream puff.
  21. I’ve broken my hand and it was never the same. I wasn’t punching helmets either. I’ll give him a chance but so far I’m not impressed.
  22. So we are signing a tough guy who had hand surgery in the off season and can’t fight...?
  23. This just adds another dimension to the offense. We need him here ASAP.
