  2. i'm not suggesting we pick up kane and his off ice troubles, but on the ice, he is probably, just what we need.......that 2nd line lw, with grit, speed and scoring ability...his life has been sad....

      i'm just saying, his type of player on the ice is the kind of player we need...not him specifically...

      I sure hope so. You have a man advantage and an entire zone, yet the focus is on two guys trying to creep in for a sneak. Weak sauce.

       

      Gotta get the keeper moving across the crease. It's so old school and simple.... that it actually works.

      that drop pass zone entry to Edler needs to go, only works when you have a speed guy to drop it to.

      Thank God! Here's hoping for a way better PP this year. We will never have any success until we can take advantage of our power play chances.

  9. so many differing opinions..we need someone to identify those opinions and put them into a survey..we would learn, how many, want a scorched policy; being competitive in the rebuild or any other opinion on how to build a successful hockey team...i don't know how to put one of those together...maybe someone can do that.

  10. i wonder if the canucks ever make a trade with minny, if they can get gudbranson's little brother added to the deal...?

      i have no ideas i just noticed him belonging to minnie...he is small than his brother...he might be a flop but it sounds good...

      Dirty duds best be left in the hamper

      But should we sign Brouwer

      Fan-base won't be sour

      Can set off to the sun in a camper

  13. i think i saw heretic at the soup kitchen....

  14. benning is well on his way to stabilizing our defense....still need some scoring wingers...boeser and virtanen...and a center to take over 1st line duties.....it will take time...as linden says, they have several area's to fix...

    1. GettinGuddyWithIt

      GettinGuddyWithIt

      Horvat can be that 1C. And we have Boeser, Baertschi, Virtanen and Horvat as those Top 6 potential forwards. Our needs are a 1LW and a 2C because I believe in Horvat to be that 1C in the future.

    2. Jaku

      Jaku

      I can't see Horvat being a 1C, maybe as a journeyman 1C, but not as a true "number 1 Center." I hope he proves me wrong because Bo is by far my favorite Canuck.

      It's hard to say where the Canucks will finish next year, but if it is near the bottom of the pile then maybe that's something they should seriously consider. I don't want to say Nolan Patrick, because obtaining the first overall pick is very unlikely, but there's lot of talent up the middle like Maxime Comtois, Kailer Yamamoto, Gabriel Valardi, at this moment in time anyways they look good. 

  15. i think, montreal will grab the 4th pick and take dubois....dirty baskets.

      At least if Montreal drafts Dubois it won't be as bad as when they drafted Louis Leblanc, who was chosen earlier because he was french rather than the BPA. 

  16. i hope we keep #5 and take tkachuk or dubois but still, if the right offer comes along....?

      virtanen could move to the left and so could hansen...ericksson is a left shooting right winger....a lot of europeans prefer to play their oft wing....

      I want Kevin Shattenkirk though or a D like him. God this team is gonna be boring to watch unless they try to make some signings and trades and draft some guys with offensive potential this year. Please enough power forwards grinders or 2 way guys. Let's add some guys with some offensive skills and skating who are not afraid to play physical and battle in the corners or in front of the net. 

  18. ok, montreal want dubois, they have 2 2nd round picks...so how about a swap of 1st picks and a 2nd and mccarron..coming our way?....

      @MJDDawg sounds good in theory but Benning seems more of a straight shooter prairie guy while Gillis had the background as a lawyer so he had no problem flat out lying.

  19. from what i've read, the next few years will be interesting to see which one of this year's 4 to 12 draftees will turn out the best...

    1. Alflives

      Hi Smithers,

       

      Maybe JB gets more than 4?  

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      we don't know...it sounds like he is still open to trading down....if a deal gives him a player that can be a top 2 lines player and switch picks...he said he is listening to all offers and there has been mention of players not mentioned before.....whatever that means...

      i have a funny feeling columbus might change their draft pick...they want a centre...if with the canucks, the 2nd round pick they owe us could be ours this year us sweetening the pot...seems like no ones talking about pujijarvi lately....less than a week now.

  20. i can see granlund eventually being a 3rd line centre or winger...we haven't seen all of him yet...my guess he will grow in his ability, closer to what his brother is...i like his brother's game...
  21. in the hockey news draft book, dubois is likened to jerome iginla. at least his style..they don't give a comparison for tkachuk, but i would think, he has some of his father's attributes ...

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      If we draft Dubois and he's even in the same league as Iggy we

      d be well served.

      Craig Button, who is a silly fool sometimes, compares Tkachuk to Tom Brady.

       

      No matter who we end up with in the 1st round, I'm excited.

      Im worried about the run game as well..seems non existant at this point...I like Rainey as a returner...didnt they cut Lockett...I thought he was good returning last year???

    3. Bruce Boudreau

      Bruce Boudreau

      @ShakyWalton Buono has a well known policy you can't be split return duties and play rb he feels it's one or the other all or nothing. He wants Rainey and Canadian Shaq doing all the return game stuff and 1 American handling every down rb duties in this case it looks like Allen from SSK will be cut And Johnson from OTT will be the #1 to start next week. Coleman probably gets stashed on injured list or practice squad.

    4. -DLC-

      -DLC-

      Chip....said all game that they were giving them way too much time to set up and pass...little-no pressure.  And me too re our run game.  Wasn't there.

      I also wish we could find some holes on returns...miss the days of seeing someone bust it open on a return and that just doesn't happen.

  23. i wonder how interested benning might be in moving to #3?

      CBJ has to make it worth our while, or simply pick up a gem at #5OA.

    4. Winter Soldier

      Don't see why the cost would be worth it when we can have PLD at #5.

  24. canucks and columbus could help each other at the draft...with several moving parts..

      i was thinking, our 5th and burrows for their 3rd, hartnell and the 2nd they owe us this year...don't really want hartnell, plus i'ld almost prefer dubois to pulilarvi...don't know how benning would want that deal...

    3. Quantum

      Quantum

      Stamkos, you're right. Add the 5th in my "take" of the proposal.

       

      Smithers joe, I would add Burrows, but the Blue Jackets are looking for cap relief so I wasn't sure they'd want Burrows nor would Burrows waive to go to a team coached by Torts. (I suspect he wouldn't, considering Torts wanted Burrows to be bought out when he was here).  However, a Burrows for Hartnell move is pretty lateral in terms of cap and gets the Blue Jackets off the hook in terms of cap space after this year. (And in fact, they'd be paying less then what the cap hit for Burrows is because his actual salary is quite small). My gut says that if we do a deal with CBJ that Burrows won't be moved, though, and that Higgins will likely be the "contract dump" guy.

       

      I could see Burrows being moved to a team needing to reach the salary cap floor or who have an internal budget. Anahiem seems to the land of misfit Canucks toys and I could see Burrows fitting in nicely there or potentially Ottawa (who are another internal cap team) as Burrows would likely be a good fit on Ottawa's third or fourth line.

       

      Needless to say, I see Burrows being moved. I just don't see him going to Columbus.

       

       

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      columbus will have to pick up some of hartnell's pay...he has 3 more years, burrows just one...they would have to protect hartnell next year...i don't think we want that contract but who knows?

  25. good luck, gillis and henning.
