Rank Cdn teams, for 2021 Div-Order
Comeback_Kings replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in General Hockey Discussion
I think the West plays a more physical brand of hockey and is the tougher conference to play in. Also, western teams are more used to the travel. Eastern media guys will be surprised how good the Canucks are and the quality of their depth players. Edmonton will start the year off hot, but fall back when the going gets tough. Calgary has solid defence and goaltending. 1. Van 2. Cal 3. Edm 4. Tor 5. Wpg 6. Mtl 7. Ott -
[Report] Jack Roslovic requests trade
Comeback_Kings replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'm wondering if Lukas Jasek may be a fit at the 3rd line centre position? -
Stoked about Podkolzin.

Juolevi Vatanen should work right. Rathbone Chatfield seems like it could work has Vatanen signed anywhere yet?

Adam Gaudette’s role as a Vancouver Canuck
Comeback_Kings replied to Patel Bure's topic in Canucks Talk
I remember the line of Baertschi Gaudette Miller looked good in preseason. Fans insisted Gaudette stay with the club and were shocked by the Baertschi demotion. Maybe Miller just makes everyone he plays with better. -
This was likely my favorite moment in that whole Willie coached season, Tryamkin making it look easy to knock the tough guy team Ducks around.

Improvement on their current logo. -
I dont think Virtanen has the IQ to become a top 6 forward.
Comeback_Kings replied to apollo18's topic in Canucks Talk
Have heard this since he was playing junior, but I don't think Virtanen has a hockey IQ problem at all. Ever notice he never extends a shift? He has a pro level conditioning problem. This is fixable. Good to hear that he is working out with Myers. I'm glad the Canucks are taking another chance on him and I believe it'll pay off. -

[Signing] Canucks sign Jayce Hawryluk
Comeback_Kings replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I like this signing. Abrasive with a high compete level. Likely has a scoring touch too. Had 106 pts in 58 games for the Wheat Kings in 2015-16. That with 101 PIM, +59 2015-16 Brandon Wheat Kings WHL 58 47 59 106 101 59 21 7 22 29 39 -
[Discussion] Moving on from Jim Benning
Comeback_Kings replied to AV.'s topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Benning is the most exciting GM this team has ever had by miles. He's just so ballsy and takes huge risks. Some work out, some don't and yet here we are with a pretty damn good hockey team. For this season he decided last year's D just wasn't good enough. Status quo GM brings back Tanev/Stetcher. Not GMJB, he adds Schmidt instead who could be the JT MIller of the d corp of this hockey team. -
Canucks should run with the content they have and look to develop another two or three top assets out of there young players.

said it before, imo virtanen > _________

What if the Arbitration takes into account the new economic realities of the league and there are new contracts signed as comparables in the current climate in advance of his hearing?
-
The Oilers or Flames, a lot ot teams really, would have greatly improved rosters if they added both OEL and Markstrom. That has to be on Benning's mind right now working out this trade and signing.

Virtanen > Pearson

Virtanen should be or should have been coached to be a PKer

Strengthening 3C - A Different Approach
Comeback_Kings replied to MrCanuck94's topic in Canucks Talk
I'd like to find a way to get Joel Eriksson Ek out of Minny to be the Canucks 3c -
Watched about 15 minutes of this game, found it boring AF meathead hockey. Friedman has 12 replies to his tweet on Khodobin's shutout, nobody cares. NHL has to change, call the game the way it should be called, playoffs or not. Marchand punching D. Sedin in the face is a * * penalty. Reaves clucking like a chicken is an unsportsmanlike penalty. I don't want to watch clutch and grab, I don't want to watch bully tactics and cheap shot hits and wacks to the hands. I want to watch fast skilled hockey, the kind of game the Canucks play, when they have proper rest and preperation. * the war of attrition, I want to watch skilled and fast hockey.
