  1. So we’ve got a good PP1 and Demko….like really? Seattle looking like world beaters vs our group? This is IMO why we shouldn’t sign Bo. He is our only valuable trade out if this season fails off the hop. only pre-season, but this reminds me of the way they started. Why can’t this group create scoring chances OR defend???
  2. Yikes. Looking like the same kid from WJHC… he gonna need some tiiime
  3. Not a bad period. Sitting beside oilers bench, klim with nice skill, deceptive passing ability. Impressed with Aman as well
  4. Oof Good play by ERod to set himself up for a better payday
  5. This group definitely needs more PK prowess. since the loss of Edler and Tanev, they have been quite poor killing penalties. Danny D may be able to be that kind of player… but also may be done… OEL Huggy Dermott Schenn DeKeyser Myers Rathbone Poolman We could very well have the top pairing in the division imho… unfortunately followed by 3 x 3rd pairings lol. Hopefully the “bottom 4” can share minutes and play a safe and insulated game while eating all the PK.
  6. Yah I thought it was strange timing on trading the 1st… Romanov move made some sense but not for Dach lol. I get they are desperate for young centres, but yikes. Rebuilding team giving up two firsts for Dach and Dvorak… just brutal asset management. MTL going eternal rebuild alla Buffalo imo.
  7. Lot of underrated additions for Anaheim. Tonne of cap space to work favourable deals still. Henrique Zegras Terry Lundestrom Strome Vatrano Comtois McTavish Jones McLaughlin Grant Gawdin Fowler Klingberg Drysdale Shattenkirk Vaakanainen Kulikov Gibson If Gibby can reclaim his all world form, which I think he can…. This underrated group will surprise imo. Also jealous they have Mintyukov and Zellwegger coming along.
  8. Eww. Can’t former Canucks find another division to play in?? just another reason to hate on the oil and laugh when they choke.
  9. He’s gonna destroy that league now after having some nhl experience and success. Hope he does well…. And hope Karlsson sticks in NA
  10. Players like this are hard to find. Big tough skilled F is as hard as top 4 RHD to find. If he repeats the production, it would likely cost more to re-sign. I think it’s a good bet personally, considering they are near the cap floor. It also usually takes kids with size until the age of 24 to actually use that size properly vs mature men. 24 year old version of Kevin Hayes with better offensive skills. He just scored 38 goals… more goals than ANY Canuck has scored since 2011!
  11. I really like this player. Thompson, Tuch, Powers, Dahlin… Krebs, Quinn, Cozens, Samuelsson, Kulich, Peterka, Savoie, Rosen Ostlund… Quite the crop.
  12. I feel bad for Garland. He started last year so well. I think he was determined to make a good impression, but he too reverted to how the team was playing under benning and co collectively. It was probably tough to ride the emotional highs and lows as a new player to the group… his play reflected it until there were enough injuries and he got some steady top 6 time towards the end of the year… which he did very well with… Lotta options for an offensive coach to have this year. They can find trade partners to address needs in season. But I think this group, as-is, is hella-underrated myself. Keep Miller. I think his trade value intensifies as his cap drops over the season, while he helps Van win. I prefer signing him, but don’t think we can afford to give him the $$$… hope I am wrong.
  13. I think Seattle is flying under the radar myself. Beniers, Wright, Bjorkstrand, and Burakovski should really support the likes of McCann, Schwartz, Eberle, Gourde, Wennberg… really not a bad top 9 with a tonne of potential if the back to back #1 ranked C prospects find their stride quickly. I’d argue this could be the most improved team in the division.
