Buff re signs Zemgus. Man I've wanted to get him for so long he's on the back 9 now though.

Stramel could be a sleeper this year.

Can Tyler Myers still become a good defenceman?
hammertime replied to brokensticks's topic in Canucks Talk
Myers is a good defenceman. He's not 6m good but he's nowhere near replacement level like some around here would have you believe. When he goes it will be a big hole in the lineup to fill. -
Love a playmaker pwf. I mean that's what you really want from a pwf a guy who draws defenders and dishes leaving snipers with all the time and space. His IQ is great his sauce needs work lots of passes miss the mark that being said he creates a ton of opportunities. Skating needs work but he's super young. I always ask myself when skating isn't a kids strong suit not will he be the next Bo and suddenly become a burner but instead is he smart enough to make it work if he only picks up a step or 2? I think he is. I dunno about pick 11 but I really like Musty as a prospect as much as I like a guy like Dvorsky. There's huge upside on display or at the very least you get a great 3rd liner. 15-20 I'm a Musty fan.

That's interesting you say that. I haven't payed much attention beyond he's been on the ice in games I have watched and am somewhat familiar. Gavin McCarthy to me without having the size of course of Cleveland is a guy who has the most aggression to his game while still managing a respectably high level of play.

You know who's really good 5v5?

I mean we just took Lekkersnacki last year let's take Benson too. Are we just going to keep kicking the can down the road until our core is 45? We can easily sign a top 6 winger or trade for one top 4 rhd and 2 way Cs teams don't let go.
-
I'm surprised by your top D. Thought you were niet to Ruuskis.
-
It's really hard to project Selke C's. Nothing wrong with being bigger and faster sure beats slower and smaller.

Top 15s by position.

W's 1 Michkov 2 But 3 Sale 4 Wood 5 Barlow 6 Leonard 7 Perreault 8 Musty 9 Brindley 10 Hameenaho 11 Honzek 12 Halttunen 13 Benson 14 Cristal 15 Pekarcik HM Pinelli, Rykov

I think people kind of lump Danielson into this Mold of defensive 2 way 3C because he plays on a terrible team and has to do all the heavy lifting himself. When in reality he possesses some quite high end skills. He has incredible speed and his playmaking is fantastic if he weren't surrounded by plumbers he would have point totals much closer to say Benson who has 5 other guys on his squad over ppg to sauce to.

EEEEEzy peeezy lemon squeezy.

Where the comparison stems for me is simply put they both thrive in scrambly hockey where the defense structure is broken. I have trouble seeing Benson have NHL success due to his lack of ability to break through and make plays against a structured D. It showed in the playoffs and it showed in his inability to score on the PP. Am I anti Benson no. Honestly if we get a middle 6 guy who puts up 20g 5v5 50-60 points playing hard 2way mins we could do a lot worse. I like Garland a heck of a lot more than I like Brock's lazy disinterested slow soft play. He (Benson) ain't a C though. He doesn't strike me as a player we wouldn't be able to replace on the market. But neither does Lekkerimaki.
-
There is so much wrong with this. Benson took zero fo's in the playoffs he is not a C. And your view of Garland is so incredibly ill founded there is no point arguing.

Because?

[Buyout] Oliver Ekman-Larsson

Absolutely Loui too. They will never answer for it though. -
I'm in a funk there's not much hope. The cap will rise for the rest of the league for us it just offsets our buyout. I don't think this core has a chance. Time to start over. Lets swing for the fences and try to draft our next star. I think I'd go Perreault. I want to believe because I'm a canuck's fan that we can stay the course and we're on the right path just have faith. I was sold on patience and I can see now they were selling shower curtain rings. I will enjoy this season as it will be our last chance at glory for a long time to come.

11+Myers+Brock for Karlsson I'm in lets go out in a blaze of glory.
-
I don't even care anymore. I'm kinda tapped. I think Pete's gone in a year. We will go all in this year for a 1st/2nd round exit and set ourselves back another decade. They won't have the patience to develop a 2 way C or a PWF. So sure let's take 1 of Benson, Perrault, Heidt, Cristal, Sale. I think we're about a year from blowing this core up. At least if we sell Pete Demko Hughes we could return the assets to do a rebuild properly. Unlike 2014.
