  1. Their plenty tough in the "New NHL" we don't need a pure goon. What we need is team toughness JB had the right idea with Rooster and Ferland unfortunately they were past their best before. We need guys who get us on the PP and raise the temp in the arena. When you look up and down the lineup you see players who aren't pushovers what we need are guys who turn games into battles and killer special teams. What I consider "Traditional Canucks Hockey".
  2. Pretty sure Shenn signed a 2 year contract. So he'll be back next year unless he's traded.
  3. I think realistically the picks offered would be very underwhelming.
  4. I would say both Pete and Hughes have some un tapped snarl. Hughes skated 200feet to break his stick on a guy thats something. Pete came all the way across the ice to lay a predatory hit on Brock Boeser who you're right doesn't have a mean bone in his body. I think you're right though we need someone to drag these kids into a dog fight. But more importantly someone who can get them on the PP in the process. If we are going the re tool route. I'd be going after Sam Carrick and Brendan Lemieux this offseason guys who stir the pot and raise the temp in the barn. I'd trade or let Brock walk and try to sign Nichushkin around 6m. I think Karlsson is going to sign and not only that but be the right shot 2 way utility 3c we need him to be. Miller Pete Pod Nich Bo Garland Hog Karlsson Pearson Lemieux Carrick Lockwood/Lammi I think we need to draft either Ryan Chesley/Lian Bichsel or both.
  5. Hab's fan confirmation? With all that firepower they have in MTL.........Hmm Burr was a better PK guy anyway. We'll take him!
  6. I tend to agree with the teams. Something along the lines of....... BUF- Victor Oloffson PIT- Danton Heinen NJ- Ryan Graves
  7. Realistically we don't need or want a player like that. At any number really...... Look what a replacement level player in Chaisson is doing with Brocks cush mins. We don't need passengers on this team especially ones making above league min.
  8. Bruce make's sense as an interim coach but not a long term solution. That much should be obvious. If the plan is to have "rookie coach" Walker take over I'm fine keeping Bruce on for another season. Otherwize I think the sooner the better we get a coach that will be with the team through their primes. I would be happy with. any of.... Walker, Maurice, Guy Boucher, Gronborg.
  9. I for one am a supporter of Gronborg or Maurice. I don't mind the idea of hiring the right kind of rookie coach. Gronborg has got fire in his belly he's paid his dues and he's earned a shot IMO. I find it the definition of insanity how NHL teams keep firing and hiring the same coaches over and over.
  10. I'm so happy to have Richardson back he's a guy we should have had his whole career he's been full bang for buck.
  11. Good for him he never stopped bringing the effort and finally bumps the slump.
