This offseason is wild. It makes Jim seem poor at drafting, when all your top prospects: Virtanen, Gadjovich, Juolevi, Lind and (earlier) Gaudette, leave for little to no return. It makes giving up a 1st round pick this season a little more difficult to swallow. As for the Juolevi pick at the time, I remember losing my mind over not getting Tkachuk. But, you saw that Juolevi was a winner. He won in every league and tournament he played in and was the main defender each time. Injuries absolutely slowed the kid down. No it seems like a bad pick, but I think it was a good pick struck by bad luck and misfortune. Hope all the best for him.

[Rumour] Virtanen to KHL?

Unfortunately, I don't see him having much success in the KHL... anyone know his current weight? -
[Rumour] Virtanen to KHL?

This guy's life has been flipped completely upside down in a year. From playing for his hometown team, to being run out of the country with a lawsuit over his head. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Tucker Poolman

We also have to realize that RHD are getting paid more than LHD because of the severe need for them. Further, Myers is a big body, which is rare as well. He may be overpayed, but I'd hate to lose him. He's such a key part of our lineup. -
Looks the same. Probably the first year I won't buy it. The only reason I would is for Seattle. The Matthews on the cover factor makes me want to buy it even less.

I am completely perplexed on so many people saying that Hughes can't play D. The best defense, is a good offense. Last season we played a ton of games against 2 of the most offensive juggernauts in the NHL and Hughes often had those matchups. Complaints like this is why I wouldn't be surprised if Quinn darted right when he could become a UFA. Why can't we just appreciate that we have a player that (with Makar and Fox) has completely changed the way d-men operate. Quinn is one of the best of the league at carrying the puck out of the zone, as well as contributing offensively. I wouldn't care how much we had to pay to keep him, he's so fun to watch

[Signing] Canucks re-sign Travis Hamonic

He's a massive piece to our D-core, gives us everything we need in a RHD. -
Predictions for Canucks opening night lineup
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to Beary Sweet's topic in Canucks Talk
My favorite part about this, is that this is going to be the team that grows together for awhile. We got a great, young core with us, and it'll likely stick for the next 3-5 years. We may need to get another top 4 RHD, but I see that as one of the few gaps we have.
