  1. Quite possibly, especially if he stays healthy, since both Petey and Bure missed games in their rookie seasons.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. I almost never thought I'd ever see the Tanman hit 60 games in a season again, but here we are.
  6. Time for a thread on our new winger! Regular Season and Playoff Stats Per Game Stats Contract Info
  7. Textbook goaltender interference. I'm not sure how that could be a more obvious call.
  8. 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.
  9. I miss @Champions of Nothing. Made the legendary Top 40 Canucks of all-time thread poll series back in 2011 I think.
  10. He's not. Left on his own accord.
  11. 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.
  12. If it's just a 2nd, Madden, and Schaller, I think I'm okay with that. Always a risk to buy rentals, but I've seen much worse deals.
  13. Honestly a lot to pay, but where was Madden going to play on our team? EP Horvat Gaudette Madden? I think we'd need a Sutter/Beagle type here, not a 150lb skill player.
  14. I'm now guessing Stecher, Juolevi, a 2nd, and a conditional 3rd or something. Possible bad case scenario would be Demko, instead of Stecher, but that doesn't make sense because the money doesn't add up.
  15. 2/3. My guess is something like Juolevi, Stecher, and a 2nd. I'm worried it's Virtanen instead of Stecher, but I hope Jimbo wouldn't do that. The 2nd might be a first in some other year.
  16. My guess is we're probably moving out a valuable prospect and a decent roster player to make this happen. Wouldn't be surprised if someone like Juolevi, Rafferty, or Madden are going the other way.
