[Signing] Sharks sign Filip Zadina
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Low risk, medium to high reward. They'll likely be a bottom team next season, makes sense to gamble on youth. Wouldn't be surprised to see him carve out a spot, top six or otherwise. -

[Speculation] Canucks exploring Tyler Myers trade
Coconuts replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
That works if we're out of it, absolutely, and there's a good chance we may be. We should compete but I don't see us as a playoff lock. It'd be nice if him and Pearson have good years, could get us returns as you've said. I'm just not in a rush to move guys, Myers is fine as a 4D or less, he's a known quantity and given it's a contract year he'll be motivated. Some folks are just impatient, overhauling a roster tales time. -

Jared McCann Appearance on Podcast
Coconuts replied to KoreanHockeyFan's topic in General Hockey Discussion
All they had to do was be patient with him and Virtanen, rushing them both was awful for this franchise. Who's to say what could have been if Jake had had time away from his boys, time to grow up around others putting in work over in Utica, or what could have been if we'd been patient with McCann. But they had to rush the shiny new toys. McCann has made a player of himself, if you look at his numbers he started improving year by year while in Florida, and then Pittsburgh. His point per game was getting better, his Seattle numbers didn't come out of nowhere he just got a larger opportunity and ran with it. And you know what, good for him. He's likeable enough if you can pull up your big boy pants and get over something dumb he said as a teenager. -
(Report) Alain Vigneault to retire from coaching
Coconuts replied to RWJC's topic in General Hockey Discussion
You don't have to like him, that's fine. But as for the success we had, not sure I agree, it's not entirely on the shoulders of the team or the coach. One could argue we'd have gone much deeper prior to 2011 if not for the Hawks, but we all saw what they went on to do. We were a very good team in the laye 2000's, we just had the misfortune of running into a future dynasty as they were getting their footing. The other side also has something to say regarding playoff outcomes. We then got stomped by a dominant Kings team who went 16-4 during their first cup run, it wasn't just us they made look silly. Was it disappointing? Could we have beaten the Devils? Sure. But those early 2010's Kings teams were defensive juggernauts during those two cup runs. San Jose was the door almost slamming shut, Calgary was the end. -

The most successful Canucks coach ever, and my personal favourite. Wish we, and he, had gotten a cup. -
[Signing] Kings re-sign Anze Kopitar
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Always liked Kopitar, big center with a sublime skillset. He's LA's Getzlaf in a way, but better defensively. Could be a first ballot kind of player. Two cups, two Selke's, two Lady Byng's, leadership award, repeat all-star. If only he'd been a Canuck. -

[Signing] Senators re-sign Travis Hamonic
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I mean, as a bottom pairing guy he's just fine, particularly at that cap hit. Minds his own end, adds some physicality, steps up once in a while, produced a respectable amount last season, easy to waive if needed. Easy deal to like for the Sens.
