  2. I just noticed. The Canucks have:

    1 NMC (Miller)

    4 NTC's ( Kuz, Mik, Myers, Soucy)

     

    Who would have thunk it?

      Down to 3 once Myers is gone after this year :emot-parrot:

  3. I still don't understand why AV didn't start Schneider against Boston in Game 6.

    1. Pears

      Pears

      @Roberts It never made any sense and it still doesn’t to this day. You bring him in for game 4 after they were having their way with us to change the momentum and we probably end up winning that series in game 5 or 6.

      For me it’s not bringing Rypien up after we were bullied in games 3 and 4. There wasn’t a snow balls chance in hell any coach would have started Schneider in game 6 given the circumstances.

  5. So. Any predictions where Connor Bedard will finish this year? I'm going to be massively conservative and say 50-60 Points. Anything above that is gravy. It's quite the jump from WHL to NHL. I'm not saying he isn't super talented. But you got to learn the ropes in the NHL.

    1. Pears

      Pears

      As much as I hate to say it getting Hall for pennies on the dollar was a really nice piece of business by them who by all means should help Bedard a lot. I’ll say at least 70.

  6. Would you rather have had Bergeron or Datsyuk on your team (2 of the best defensive forwards I've seen in my life time)?

    1. Pears

      Pears

      I think I’d probably go with Datsyuk simply because even with how elite he was defensively he was just as good offensively.

  7. I'm just saying, the Central took a big hit and don't look as competitive as the Pacific anymore, IMO 5 teams from Pacific take 5 of the 8 playoff spots, Canucks one of them

      And I honestly don’t think we’re done with making moves this summer either. I think we’ll get in for sure.

  8. #AssetManagement Toronto edition

     

    Here is Toronto's trade history of 1st rounders and add-ons since 2019


    2019 - Grundstrom (2nd) Durzi (2nd) 1st round pick (22nd OA) for Muzzin
    2020 - gave away 13OA (Seth Jarvis) to get rid of the Marleau contract
    2021 - traded away 25OA (Corson Ceulemans) to acquire Noesen and Foligno... both no longer with the TML
    2022 - gave away to get rid of Mrazek contract... did get back a 2nd round pick (Fraser Minten) who had a very meh season and very underwhelming playoff as a D+1 player.
    2023 - traded away 25OA (Otto Stenberg) to acquire Ryan O'Reilly who signed with the Preds as a UFA.
    2024 - still owned by the TML but will probably have to attach it to Murray to trade away that boat anchor of a contract
    2025 - traded away with other prospects to acquire Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty

    the Leafs have traded away 6 first round picks for 1 playoff series win and only have McCabe and Lafftery left to show for it.

    1. Pears

      @NewbieCanuckFan And only one (1) series win to show for it.

  10. Hockey players have such boring nicknames these days. It’s all Millsy, Petey etc. They just don’t put any thought into them anymore. It’s sad. I realize there are a few exceptions, like The Kuz Missile, but most are boring.

      I like a few but I’ve always thought nicknames are a tad overrated.

  11. Alf feels sorry for the Habs. The history of the Gorton/Hughes duo for drafting in round one is bad. Every pick is a bustaroo! Lafreniere, Anderson, Kravtsov, Chytl, and now Slafkoski and Reinbacher. Are these two guys the worst at the draft ever? 

    1. Pears

      Pears

      Calling a guy who’s just three weeks into his NHL career a bust is asinine even for you Alf.

  12. Hockeyfeed (don't know how reliable a source this is) is reporting that Rogers wants to cut costs next season and that Ron McLean may be out. Be still my beating heart. Now if only they canned Simpson and Galley, my perfect circle of happiness would be complete.

      Ron should have been canned after trying to assassinate Alex Burrows character and running that anti Canucks hate parade back in 2011.

    Gotta love the wannabe mods on the “Adults Table.”  Removed by Heffy for calling out a different mod.  Didnt violate any rules. Just called out an abuse of ‘power’.  Guess wannabe mods dont like criticism?

  14. I think next offseason if realistically when the Canucks can start going for a Stanley Cup, contracts coming off the books and another year for the young core to get seasoned, bring in a little support and make 1 or 2 big playoff runs and just get the job done, give yourself atleast 2 cup final appearances with this core

    1. Pears

      I agree honestly. Unless something catastrophic happens this year I don’t see why we can’t win at least one round.

  15. Remaining Free Agents Canucks should take flyers on:

     

    Nick Ritchie

    Tyler Motte

    Patrik Nemeth

      Joshua - Blueger - Motte would be a really nice 4th line in all honesty.

  16. Rumors of Pesce being on the market and Carolina needing forward help....

     

    Canucks trade Boeser + Rathbone, 2025 3rd pick (if he resigns post 1 year contract).

     

    Carolina gets a 60 pt guy in Boeser who has term (they have only have a few F with term)

     

    We get a top 4dman who can play with Hughes , upgrade on Soucy/ Cole

      Anyone Pesce trade starts with one of Höglander/Podkolzin and next years 1st.

      He could put up 0 points and I would not care one bit as long as he’s providing elite defense.

      @Ghostsof1915 Every Canucks fan should be well aware of how he never put up big points, as 13 is right around his career average and he never scored more than 20. Get Calgary to retain some salary and his defensive abilities alone would be worth it.

  24. Flames need a forward, with rumors of Hanifin being moved.

     

    Garland or Beauvillier for Hanafin or Zadorov. May need to add for Hanafin

     

    Assuming you can move Myers contract aswell 

    1. Pears

      Pears

      It’ll take a lot more than a Garland or Beauvillier to get a guy like Hanifin. Especially from within the division. Either guy for Zadorov might work though.
