  1. I'm hoping unless we win top 2 that we trade down for one of Pettersson/Necas/Suzuki there are a few guys 10-20 who very easily could end up being one of the top 3 players in this draft. Pettersson/Necas/Suzuki/ all IMO have higher upside than Vilardi/Mittlestadt though lower floor I'd rather take the risk on a 1st liner than spend pick 3/4/5 on a 3C with 2C upside.
  2. Hey JB get that Sergi Tolchinsky kid. He's woking a .5 ppg right now in Carolina would be fun to have those 2 kids who grew up together on the team. Sure he's 5'8" but #newNHL
  3. So if we beat MTL tomorrow are we back in the playoff hunt?

      Sharks in round 1? Series over in 3 games due to the Sedins retiring and Miller fleeing the country.

      We would probably play Minny assuming we get the final WC spot. A chance at redemption for 03 perhaps?

      I'd say we need more than one more win to really be competitive for a spot. Maybe two or three more consecutive wins and we'd be in the thick of it.

  4. Haha ya this film "gun woman" is not for the squeemish at all it did not give the warm n fuzzies in the slightest. I was thinking it would be a decent background japanese gunslinger girl type popcorn action flick I could breeze in and out of the room while folding laundry and other chores. It wasn't that at all. Not one bit.
  5. Just watched Gun woman on netflix. All I have to say is holy smokes. The story was fantastic the cinematography even better. If if this were a silent film I would be giving this film an 8 or better. The script was absolute garbage and the acting was a dumpster fire especially between the 2 in the white car telling the story. I'm giving it a 5 only propped up by imagery that will be burned into my mind for a long time. ***Disclaimer DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS FILM!*** Film contains Scenes of extreme blood soaked naked violence, stockholm syndrome, rape, necrofelia and truly disturbing imagery. I need a smoke!
  6. Zoiks he's gonna be better than a Datsyukberger
  7. It's not exactly what you want to see thats for sure. I mean we saw how another coach reacted to his player blowing the zone earlier. I'm a big WD supporter. However this time I think benching him was a bad choice. We want this kid to soup our offence up with his speed and gain the confidence to really pile up the points chastising him on his first game for scoring on a high risk breakaway might stunt his offence more than help his overall game. Looking at his highlight reel I bet he scores more goals on that play than there are shots against due to his blown coverage. Giver kid we need that O there is plenty of time to learn the D side.
  8. Looks good in Canuck Blue.
  9. I buried this in one of @canuktravella's proposal threads figured it wasn't own thread worthy cuz its all hypothetical. Also figured no one would see it there so I'm putting it here too for y'all to scoff @. Some hard decisions. I think pre ED I would try to Blow Tanev out to Arizona for Keller + if possible. Draft I'd target Mittlestadt if top 5 and Pettersson if top 10. Off season I'd do my dangdest to sign Aston Reese and of course Boeser. Give Bo, Tram, Gud their raises and try to sign Miller with the leftovers. Then I would go full tank for the 2018 draft. I'd keep Boeser, Gaudette, Virtanen, Reese, Dahlen, Keller if eligible and maybe even Goldobin if no need for waivers in Utica and gun for a 2018 Calder "winning environment". At the 2018 deadline with a heavy heart I would sadly try to move the Sedins if need be retain salary as they would have to go to the same team + take an expiring cap dump to maximize return and make the trade happen. Try to grab an additional 1st and an A prospect or better. Gun for first over all in the draft and add to our 2nd first to try to move up to another top 10. Select a couple stud muffins Ideally go after a D with the top pick as there are so many good ones and a high skill fwd with the 2nd. 2018 offseason throw a suitcase of used to be Sedins money at Tavares, and with the leftovers and maybe an asset if need to trade for an elite pest (younger) Marchand/Burr/Ruutu/Cooke type that can play up and down the lineup and torment the opposing team. And the "pie in the sky" piece de resistance fully revamped 2018/2019 Canucks. Keller Tavares Boeser Dahlen Bo Goldobin Baer/Granlund Sutter Eriksson (send Eriksson to the moon if Gaudette/Reese show signs of being ready) Virtanen Gaunce Pest( moves up and down the lineup along with Virtanen to just plain be a nuisance) Edler Stetcher (Trade Edler for whatever we can get the moment Olli shows he is ready. Move Sbisa down with Gud) Hutton/Sbisa Tram Olli Gud Start whichever goalie is hot! Now we gun for the playoffs! In a few years we could be in cup contention when our 2017/2018 picks are ready to slide on in. Flame away. I had a bit of time on my hands so I figured I play fantasy land.
  10. He should be in the Little Big music video "give me your money". I deleted link due to explicit lyrics however for those interested and over 14 its worth a youtube laugh.
  11. I would be ecstatic if he hits that level.
  12. When I heard we got this kid the very first thing i thought of was this laser beam on us in pre season. I will be interested to see if he can score from there on NHL caliber tenders because not many can. And the ones who do are often elite level players. Then I watched his hi light reel and noticed he scores a ton from there. The other thing I noticed is that on the vast majority of his goals he is all alone with enough time and space set up a picnic and the rest of his goals seem to come on an absurd number of breakaways. Guess what I'm saying is I'm gonna temper my expectations a bit until I see what he can do when that time and space evaporates and the level of tending increases. No doubt the kid is super exciting. I hope he plays with Bo they might make an explosive duo.
  13. Right duh I wonder if there is significance to why he wears it.
  14. Any word on if he picked 82 or nucks just slapped it on him.
  15. News flash the sharks no longer have Goldobin and who else do they have Timo Meier was drafted at 9 OA after him there is a huge drop in talent. Maybe Tim Heed makes the jump after that its pretty bleak.
  16. Ya I'm just kinda right now after my 2 favourite Canucks were traded that I have been cheering on for over a decade. Like I said I'm interested to see that kid play (Crammer) and I wish Virtanen were showing a bit more promise. Kinda bummed we let that POS Roussel walk right now TBH.
  17. Oh I know. Thats why I hope JB ponies up and pays those 2 this offseason. But they play on our back end. We don't have any fwds to dig pucks out of the corners win board battles get in on the forecheck and create offensive zone turnovers or trash talk in the face-off dot between whistles other than Dorsett who is injured. I hope JB goes out and gets a tenacious pest for our top 9 this offseason. Since Virtanen should cook a bit longer. I hear Dahlen is a good forechecker so thats a plus. MTL may be small but Gallager who's 5'9" wouldn't back down from a contest with Chara. We need a guy with that fire. Ok I'm beating a dead horse now.
  18. Bae ,Granlund the Sedins, Eriksson, Boucher. Basically the entire top 9 save Horvat and Sutter who aren't exactly feisty agitating type guys. We basically just traded the only 2 players we have who can get the oppositions bench riled up. When was that last time any of those guys threw a hit or trash talked between the whistles? Just saying we woefully lack an agitator/douch bag that can get other teams running around chasing them instead of playing hockey Kane could be our Douch bag. I'm interested to see what Crammer can do but I doubt he will be able to play Burr or Hansens mins. So he will just be agitating 4th line plugs. The Canucks have a long history of elite Pests. recent memory: Ruutu, Cooke, Burrows, Kesler, Lapierre etc. Guys that drive opposing teams off their game.
  19. If we could grab Dipietro with a 2nd I'd be for it! http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=300424
