  1. Caggiula is one crafty little man. Thing is, he's also got tenacity and grit. LOVE his game.

  3. "you look beautiful"
    - some kid just screamed that at my open window.
    Just wanted to relay that message.

  4. Thanks for helping the Canucks out Shinkaruk. He knew they needed the loss.

      Saw I lot of what i've seen the 3 times i'm seen him in calgary. He was invisible for the most part

  5. How competitive do you think the Canucks can be next season? What moves could feasibly be made in the off-season to make the Canucks a competitive enough team to compete in next year's playoffs?

      I have a feeling that Virtanen and McCann will spend the year in Utica.  More mins in a league that will still be tough and guidance under Green will serve them well.  I also think Hutton will get to play an elevated role in the top 4 and PP.  Larsen and Rodin will probably be in the line up too.  

       

      Sedin Sedin Hansen/Eriksson

      Baertschi Sutter Eriksson/Hansen

      Etem Horvat Dorsett 

      Guance/Granlund Cracknell

      Edler Tanev

      Tryamkin Biega

      if we got a laine or tkachuk and boeser signs and turns pro, we could have a very good 2nd/ 1st line but they might take a year for them to be nhl'ers...if that happens, we shouldn't need an expensive ufa....our defense may suffer again...getting closer.

      Most likely a wild card team.

  6. shink in the house

  7. Igor Merezhko could be an interesting pickup. Big D (6'4 220lbs) picked up 10 assists this year with Lethbridge. Seems like the kind of guy with the right attitude and mindset to play that key defensive role.

      yes please more monster size dmen to crush the imperialists

  8. I brought up Stepan Falkovsky last year for the 2015 Draft. I'm going to bring him backnow, as he's haveing a great playoffs. He could easily be a solid pick in the second round this year, just as much as he could've been in last year's draft.

    1. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      I have him in EHM and he turns into a real solid 7th dman

  9. Can't win games without good defence. Canucks may have found something nice with that Hutton-Tryamkin pairing. My vote would be to keep those two together and see if they can build some confidence and maybe some chemistry as Tryamkin starts to adapt to  North American systems. Perhaps Hutton can rub off some offence on him a bit too. 

  10. People are doubting Laine and Puljujarvi? ...What?

      ^ you mean "scouring" right? R and T are keyboard neighbours ;)

  11. The Canucks have or haven't signed Tryamkin yet? Sick in bed, haven't looked at a screen in forever.

      They sent him to Aleppo, to straighten out the Syrian-fiasco. Then Putin has instructed him to report to Vancouver, & rectify the Championship-drought.

    4. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      He has officially signed

  12. Loving Joe Snively's style of play. Needs to bulk up big time but has the hands and hockey sense to play a scoring or bottom-6 role. Excellent skater with blessed hands. Super versatile and an available free agent.

    1. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      He's not a UFA if he is a 96

      January 1st 96 haha. True though. 
      I forgot about that. 

    3. Quantum

      Quantum

      He's definitely intriguing but he is short. Could be an exception. Might be worth taking a waiver on with a 5th or 6th rounder.

  13. Alex Lyon was part of that prospect package I sent to Trevor Linden... a year ago.

      OMGZ! OUR GM SUCKS!  Lol. Are you joking?  Why are you sending linden anything lol?

  14. Pierre-Luc Dubois is going to be an elite winger. Last time I checked the Canucks were pretty shallow on the left side. Last time I checked was right after the trade-that-shall-not-be-named. The gremlin trade.

      @ShakyWalton I think he's slated to go 4th now.

  15. at least no sad homecoming for hamhuis like bieksa, kesler (sort of), etc.

  16. Somewhere, Linden Vey and Emerson Etem are playing the sad flute song.

     

  17. Take a long look at Jordan Sambrook. I can't find anything I really don't like. Mobile skater, good shot, great passer, plays conservatively and doesn't get caught out, and gets into shooting and passing lanes quickly in his own end. Has good offensive insticts which will set the stage for more offensive development in the future. Great raw prospect with the right tools and mindset that you look for in a defenseman.

      Did you ever get to scouting Adam Mascherin? Do you think he has a shot at being a legitimate NHLer?

    3. S N Y P E R S 7

      S N Y P E R S 7

      Yeah Mascherin should develop into a good scorer. I really like the way he moves, he's a great skater with a high top-end acceleration. No Ehlers, but he's a tremendous skater ;)
      Can be a little bit of a puck hog at times, but that's usually because he isn't able to find a seam to pass off. He's developed a great shot, but needs to be more consistent with his passes as they are off the mark too often. Not all the time, right, but too often.

    4. S N Y P E R S 7

      S N Y P E R S 7

      Let me rephrase the "great shot" thing. 
      Elite-level shot. Of all of his offensive tools that he's been developing over his two years in the OHL, his shot is probably what makes him stand out as a dynamic player more than anything.

  18. Anyone else watch the Val-D'Or game today? That Gauthier...

      Gstank29

      Big powerful player who uses his size to protect the puck. He has a shot first mentionality and like Virtanen, and has a quick heavy shot. As far as his Vision goes he seems to be more patient with the puck and looks to make plays (that one play in the WJC really stands out) his assist totals, IMO have nothing to do with his hockey IQ/vision but is more an indication of the fact that his line mates look to feed him the puck in high percentage areas.

      The only real difference that i've seen is that Virtanen has an explosive first two steps with Gauthier doesn't

      What did you think of Sean Day?

  20. Shoulda Drafted Ehlers

    1. desiboynux4lifee*******

      desiboynux4lifee*******

      That's the problem with this management, keeps drafting big players who are going to be career 40 point guys;whereas skilled guys like Ehlers and Nylander have a much higher ceiling.

  21. Dante Fabbro, Kale Clague, Victor Mete... so good. Fabbro's probably the most intriguing right now.

      Day never should have been allowed into the OHL as an exceptional player. Really stunted his development.

  22. Giving up good to become great doesn't feel too good, but it's a necessary evil
