It was a poor game in which they got bullied.... Need bigger players (Glad Bo was ready to drop them). Its really good teams we are meeting, and on a tough schedule, with early times... We may or may not get into the play offs, but its a learning curve... both for the players and management. And without our Star player playing well, and the rest taking the day off, can't really expect much more... It'll get better, but fear it won't be this season. With all the call offs, it will be a tight schedule to get all the games played, so..... -
Fair enough... I was happy, he (like Lockwood) were sent down to marinate a little more in the A.... My main concern was the defending part. Quinn has come leaps and bounces since last year, so maybe Rathbone would as well, but I have been pleasantly surprised about our defence since Boudreau took over. If Petey hasn't taken the season off, we would be in an even better place.

To be honest don't think Petey was the main problem on the PP playing the screen possion. But yes that was the only disappointing thing last night. It was like a step back in time... -

As the old saying goes... what doesn't kill us makes us stronger... Zero doubt that if (when) he pulls through, he will become a far stronger player mentally for it. And yes bruce force is experience.. you can't buy experience... -

Could very well be something outside of hockey. We know he's had wtist injury, but there could easily be something else that has been on his mind. Isues back in Sweden? Sweetheart problem? Etc etc... he is still a very young man, so that would not be at all surprising. -

Yes i agree to a certain extend, but ( and this is not to argue) Brock and Podz were 20, when they arrived? Quinn almost 20, Hogz the same Hogs and Podz will have a year or two more, before being ready to drive the bus. So In general we can expect drafted players to join the club at 19-21 ( except special talents) and then they need a few years to become constant play drivers ( which we would need to contend). Thus I think we would be looking at 4-5 years before we could really contend. But yes we need influx of young players on ELC's to balance out the vets that will be around at that time. Regardless of timelines, unless JR can make a few miraculous trades that improves us, while still keeping us under the cap, some vets will have to go for futures of some sort. -
Who will be the first player to be traded under the new management?
spook007 replied to Rabbit's topic in Canucks Talk
Agree on both points... This is also why its good to have changed to JR... He has no special feelings towards any of the players (unlike us), thus making the hard but right decision easier... And as for Petey, knowing what he can be, you don't just dump him, unless something special comes around. Just the thought of seeing him blossom in another jersey makes me sick.... Think he'll turn it around as well... Its his first bit of head wind... -

Yep... get Petey (and Brock) back on song and we are a totally different team. -

That's the catch... looking to get better through the draft, means at least 4-5 more years before we really can challenge (at least)... podz and Hogz good examples. Brock and Quinn like wise... And how long does the players we have now want to hang around? Think he's more likely to pick players around 20-21 years of age just about to break through, or maybe already just broken through... But that is the big question... -

Will be sad to see him go, but he'll be looking at a serious raise, and not sure if they can afford to pay him accordingly, so to get something would not be a bad idea...
