  1. Pearson’s numbers aren’t too far off from Garland, BB and Bo.

      I defended Pearson so many times, guy is a warrior on the boards. We were pretty weak along the boards but Pearson was always there to grind it out.

      Chris Higgins is a good comparison, he is someone that can play up and down, and give a solid effort.


      Happy for him.

  2. Russia just invaded Ukraine. I am at a loss of words.

      I'll make sure to add that into my reading. I am currently reading so much things for class but I feel the need to become more knowledgeable about Ukraine.

       

      I got access to a lot databases so I can probably find them.


      Thanks! It's weird to thank Brad Marchand, i know it's a user name but still weird but thanks!

      @Brad Marchandthank you for your clarification, I am admittedly not very well versed in Post-Soviet Republics/Ukraine history and I appreciate you sharing that knowledge. 

       

      A lot of Trump supporters/alt-right thinks Trudeau using the EA is worse than Ukraine's Sovereignty getting trampled on. Yeesh

      @AlflivesThey did but they gave it back to Russia with the Minsk agreements... Well, that turned out to be a bad play.

  5. Leafs and Oilers both need a goalie, and to clear some cap.  Which is better for us?

    Demko for Marner

    or

    Demko for Draisatl

    1. warrchief

      warrchief

      Martin for Niemela
      Martin for Xaiver Bourgault +?

      And Draisaitl is the best value. I loved watching him play in Junior leading up to the draft. I had him number 1 on my board at the time.

      @bigbadcanucksAll good, I think I got a little too heated too bud. Sorry for that on my behalf and sure I always welcome more friends. Being a Canucks fan is tiring huh? It's always good to have reconciliation!

       

      Now lets get ready to root for the Canucks on Thursday against the Lames :towel:

      @DevronJust whenever you get a chance, give yourself a nice break. I find it always helps, listening to good tunes, drawing, writing, playing video games, watching Canucks games etc. they all help

       

      I wish nothing but the best for you.

      I have made a feelgood reminder. Some forget about that but I want to make sure everyone takes time to take care of themselves.

      I hope you continue to take care of yourself. I know it can be hard at times but it takes times. I am in the same situation although I feel like I am almost out of this funk.

  9. Who would have predicted the Kraken to be this bad in their inaugural season?

     

    To think the bookies had the Kraken being above the Canucks in standings and in the playoffs…

      They went young and stole one of our B level prospects in Lind (i am still sad about it) instead of some defence, goaltending etc.

      They also had the option of getting Carey Price from MTL but chose not to. A lot of questionable picks but I did like the Yanni Gourde and McCann pick ups. Smart picks for great players.

      I think they realized that it was slim pickings out there and didn't get offers for draft considerations like Vegas did. Instead they are like any other expansion draft before them and they are going through the pains of being the newest franchise. At least they'll have drafts and the fact they are a low tax state so FA will be attracted to there.

      Went from trade petey! to trade Boeser! to trade Horvat!

      This is why we can never get any big names. The media and this mob mentality of a fanbase. We have the worst fans.

      I would love to go watch some live womens games. So many stars out there. MPP is one big name I would like to see.

       

      Of course, I would have really liked to see Haley Wickenheiser play but maybe see can coach.

  12. would you trade brock to NJ for mercer and hamadullin or a first?

    love hamadullin's game and it would be fitting as he was chosen with the 1st rounder we gave up for JT.

  13. If you were a GM of another NHL team. Would you really offer the moon for any Canucks players right now? Everyone except Hughes/Demko/Miller are underperforming. I think CDC would be horrified the actual deals other GM's would offer now.

    1. warrchief

      warrchief

      If I am NYR, I acquire Miller now and trade him at the draft if you win the cup. Miller has affordable deal and I think NYR loses Strome regardless.

  14. [1] Trade Deadline Predictions: who do you think gets moved before/at the TDL*?

     

    [2] UFAs you think the Canucks will target?

      We need speed on the back end but the UFA class looks pretty abysmal for that.

      I mean we got Jimmy R's golden egg, Ryan Reeves available as a UFA should Motte leave via trade/FA.

      My thoughts on the Trade deadline:
      Motte goes for a Conditional 3rd that upgrades to a 2nd. Maybe more if we can do a sign and trade.
      Boeser goes for picks/roster player and a prospect
      Miller goes for boat load. Picks, a top 4 RHD and a top prospect
      If Garland goes for it be for a good haul too. Picks or a top prospect with a roster player.

      Having a ton of trade capital is important for teams to take on bad contracts. Dumping Poolman will cost us at least a few draft picks. Seems like a bad year to dump Myers, so I would keep him since he has been doing quite well with OEL on that shutdown role.

  15. Canucks need to get meaner and nastier to play against. We are missing that killer instinct. I believe in JR & Co. Surround yourself with good people and you will most likely succeed. Vancouver deserves a CUP. We need a parade around Stanley Park!!!

      Yeah lets trade first round picks for Ryan Reeves.

      OEL has a better shot than Hughes but is just unlucky with the points (Hughes has a better pass and overall offensive game though). it's kinda funny to see OEL and Myers evolve into Defensive players coming from offensive pedigrees. 

      I think both OEL and Myers are just glad they don't have to be "the guy" anymore with Hughes taking that role and they just want to win.

  17. rebuilding the defense. if we keep hughes, oel and myers, who is on your wish list to get faster, tougher and more skilled to fill out the D?

    1. warrchief

      warrchief

      I like Schenn for toughness and he is cheap. Rathbone deserves a shot on the 3rd pair LHD to pair with Schenn. I am just unsure for the top 4 RHD... I'd want someone who is defensively responsible but can chip it (everyone wants that).

      warrchief

      @hammertimeJust the speed he has and the vision. I think he is deserving of a top 5 spot again, if not top 3.


      I thought he looked great against Germany too. Germany's hockey program is becoming more and more impressive as the years go by. I think that's great.

    He's a treat and incredibly smart and no knock on Bedard, just Michkov will bring you out of your seat.

      2023 draft picks will be at an all time high. I wonder if a 1st gets us that top 4 RHD.

  22. Instead of shutting things down again (cos that worked so well the first time around) and handing out more CERB payments why the EFF doesn't the government increase payments for people on disability? The pittance they issue every month would have been a starvation wage even way back in the '60s.

    1. warrchief

      warrchief

      People on disability can't even get CERB. I think they should eligible for the short term and for the long term get raises.

      I only like the shutdown because I can just roll out of bed and hop on zoom without the 1 hour commute

      When he complained about the roster, that's when I lost all respect for him. It was obvious that it was his systems that weren't working and how they were always on the heels.

      A good coach gets the most out of his players, a bad one complains about it.

  24. Word this evening Marc Bergevin is out as a candidate for the vacant GM position in Vancouver, nothing on Laurence Gilman either but a name that's really heating up is Jason Boterill who is the assistant coach down in Seattle, stay tuned

    1. warrchief

      warrchief

      Gilman has a ton of front office experience people like Dubas or Chayka didn't have much formal NHL experience.

      We need a new style of gm going forward. Experience plus new school is the way to go.
