  1. after last night's game, i'd like to see this line : baertschi gaudette miller
  2. hmmm. tonight my guess for opening fwd lineup is : ferland pettersson boeser pearson horvat miller leivo sutter virtanen motte beagle eriksson
  3. pearson horvat miller baertschi pettersson boeser ferland sutter eriksson virtanen beagle motte goldobin, schaller I see Pearson and Leivo as similar players. One of them starts at LW with Horvat/Miller. Schaller looks to be in very good condition this year with great speed for his size. I think Eriksson gets in because of his versatility. Also good at picking up greasy goals from in front of the net where Ferland will be. Canucks have size and speed, but I'd like to see them keep their playmakers in the lineup, so Goldobin sticks around. Virtanen shifts in after Ferland to try and one up him with speed and an even bigger check.
  4. ?. baertschi pettersson boeser miller horvat pearson ferland sutter leivo virtanen beagle motte erikksson, goldobin, roussel
  5. Boeser may likely have appreciated a 7 x 7 offer from the Canucks. The team showing it believes in him long term.
  6. Hey Vancouver, keep that #1 roster number available for Jake Kielly | G https://www.postbulletin.com/sports/localsports/pro-hockey-former-austin-bruins-goalie-kielly-ready-to-battle/article_1a1cdb28-9c48-11e9-8c27-978b4cf315a0.html
  7. I like it. Had a family event there last year and had a great time. Recommend chilliwackcornmaze.com
  8. "the Maple Leafs will likely form the majority of their bottom-six using Moore, Jason Spezza, Nic Petan, Kenny Agostino, and Nick Shore"... presented like this is a good thing? !
  9. Pearson Horvat Miller Baertschi Pettersson Boeser Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Motte Beagle Sutter Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Benn Stetcher Leivo, Eriksson, Biega (Roussel - ir) Markstrom Demko
  10. I can see why Colorado traded for Kadri as they needed a 2nd line centre to go up against Petey or Bo and Kerfoot isn't the guy.
  11. The Penguins signing bottom six fwd Tanev long term mirrors what Benning did last year with Beagle, Roussel. Makes it look like Benning is actually ahead of the game. All these years, Benning's been trying things, team getting better, exciting young core and the decision not to trade out players like Horvat, Edler, Tanev, Markstrom
  12. I see Burakovsky as a project player. Canucks have had and still have their fair share of players like this, players with upside. The problem with players with upside is often they don't have any upside and what you see is what you get. Canucks traded for a player with upside in Baertschi and there was and is upside. Canucks have a player in Virtanen who seems to have upside... I still believe in him, but if he doesn't have improvement this season he'll be where Burokovsky is now, off to another team that is willing to take a shot on his upside. Benning is limiting his experiments right now as he wants what he thinks are bonafide players who he can count on to be players and play a role on the team this season.
  13. I disagree. Miller Horvat Pearson Baertschi Pettersson Boeser looks a lot better with *____ JT Miller in the lineup !
  14. for your top 12 roster spots right now, you have to get the BPA in every position if your going to contend for the nhl playoffs next season. Benning wants his team to contend next season, he thinks they are ready to roll.
  15. Who's a better player right now, Spooner or Zegras, as in who would you put in the Canucks fwd lineup next game between the two of them? Benning picked his guy, JT Miller is his name.
  16. Decent trades. Canucks fwd group looks deep right now especially with the addition of Miller and late season acquisition Pearson. Leivo or Baertschi or other winger going to take spots in the fwd group from Miller, no way. Canucks have solid futures, great two picks this year, really point out to the mix of skill and determination fwd identity Canucks are building
  17. For sure, I wouldn't trade back Podkolzin for Zegras + + . Speed, size, grit, determination. The Lion will get you! Have to wait 2 years, in the meantime we roll with Bo and Miller and crew.
  18. Canucks make the playoffs next year. They have great goaltending. They have a forward group that has size and speed and tenacity on every line with the right mix of skill. There is an identity to this team. They are fast and tough with players who can snipe. They are hardworking and will be hard to play against. A lot of depth at forward.
