Quite possibly, especially if he stays healthy, since both Petey and Bure missed games in their rookie seasons.

[Speculation] Canucks interested in Tyson Barrie
-AJ- replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Maybe making use of our LTIR relief. If we added Barrie, when healthy, we'd effectively be something like $6 or $7M over the cap, and that's before re-signing guys like Marky, Gaudette, and Virtanen to a raise. Toffoli and Barrie will/would either be rentals themselves or force us to let other pieces go, effectuating the same thing. -
Was looking at this yesterday. He's now on pace for 65 points. Could he have the best season by any Canucks defenseman in history in just his rookie year? Jovo finished 6th in Norris voting twice and that's the closest we've been to a Norris winner. We'll see where Hughes ends up.

Sutter has more astute offensive instincts than Loui. While Sutter may not be super fast, he actually has some good hands in tight and some offensive hockey sense, despite being more of a defensive specialist.

I almost never thought I'd ever see the Tanman hit 60 games in a season again, but here we are.

[GDT] Wild @ Nucks - Feb 19 2020 - 7:30pm Pacific - SNET

Textbook goaltender interference. I'm not sure how that could be a more obvious call. -
I think @coastal.view has it right. The factor you're missing is the quality of shots. My experience tells me that sometimes when a team peppers the opposing netminder with low quality shots, all it does is get the netminder warmed up and feeling confident. Because goaltending is so heavily mental compared to other positions, I think that can be huge.

I miss @Champions of Nothing. Made the legendary Top 40 Canucks of all-time thread poll series back in 2011 I think.

He's not. Left on his own accord.

I suspect that Benning realized that without Boeser for the rest of the season, there was a very strong chance we don't make the playoffs. He panicked and hence the move for Toffoli. Toffoli isn't as good as Boeser, but he may still be helpful.
