This... give him the time needed... Don't pressure him until he's ready... Game time is what's needed. Not to go up against the best before ready...
-
Yes it most certainly is.... won't hold my breath though..

The positivity in this thread is catchy.... Great to see so much joy with OJ being back playing. One would assume that after nearly a year out and yet to play in the NHL, OJ would be starting in AHL . On top of getting back to game fitness, the NHL is still a step up from where he was... RJ said it best in one of his tweets, that OJ was phenomenal, when there was no pressure on him... Why then throw him before the wolves, before he has asserted himself, that he is capable of playing 100% with confidence.... He'll start in the AHL. Doesn't matter how long he plays in the AHL, as long as he progresses to become, what everyone hopes for. He is still only 21 years old, and should hopefully play on our defence the next 10+ years.

its really uplifting to read all of those tweet regarding OJ. To hear he’s playing with a smile on his face just about says it all.... Will be very interesting to see how he fairs in the main camp.

Well put.... If you don't have the veteran presence, how would they be able to measure themselves? And, as can clearly be seen, The veterans help these youngsters understand and overcome the obstacles they meet during their transition. Very well spoken by Gadjovich... Really rooting for these kids to to take a giant leap over the next couple of years.

Canucks 2019-20 prospect training camp
spook007 replied to CRAZY_4_NAZZY's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Spot on. Some of these so called fans are an absolute disgrace... but fair enough, they may not even be Canucks fans. -

100% If OJ get to play lots of minutes in Utica injury free, that's a win in itself... Let him get games and minutes under his belt before all the talk about being called up. After so long out game time is surely the most important to find his stride again... PS ready the comments on that Pettersson Tweet....he'll have some work to do, too win over some fans... he's just been out for almost a season... -
I like the saying quoted by @IBatch "if you don't have cap trouble, you're not trying hard enough"... we have to seize the opportunity, while it is here. As JR says Tanev contract is up at the end of this season. There are many movable parts, so provided they don't all turn out like LE, while some wheeling and dealing may be necessary, I'm sure it will be possible The next 2-4 year+ will be an interesting time. Can't wait to see this team grow...Get the train rolling... stoked.
-
All true... It'll be a struggle to get it all to fit in under the cap. However isn't it always like that, when a team starts to get better. Better players equals higer salaries... hence the importance of continuing the drafting and developing... Probably the reason JB has put his foot on the accelerator... And I trust the Mangement to know far more about running the club than any of the posters here...
-
Rush, if so why is that a bad thing? We should fill the team with players, who think they are good enough to be captain of the team. As long as it doesn't becomes an issue within the squad, thats surely, what we want?
-
Lets hope so... nothing better to motivate than a chip on the shoulder....

Pretty much bang on the dollar.... Well put SID. Thank you.
-
Rush I fail to see, what his dad has said in that interview, that can be seen as him promoting Bo ahead of anyone else? He does not say anything, that I, if I had as talented a kid as Bo, wouldn't have said as well. As Canucks fan we should be over the moon that his heart beat so strongly for the City and the club.
-
Maybe the other players already see him as being the next captain? Could it be that within the quad he is already seen as the Captain of the team? Believe both Brock and Elias has being referring to him as captain? If the players are happy for Bo to be their leader, maybe so should we?
-
What was he supposed to say, when asked? At least he has the balls to not swerve the question.... exactly what you'd want from your captain, belief in his ability to lead. Whether Bo will become Captain or nor remains to be seem, but I would be very disappointed if he didn't answer like that. Just as I would be disappointed if Edler or Pettersson would be vague or swerve the question. Leaders is what need, players who want to be the go to guys.... Not players hiding be it from tough issues or tough questions. Good on Bo.
-
Think we could see even more from Jake now, knowing he doesn’t have to carry the load on his own. Motte hits a lot, but difference being the velocity of the hits. Jake can really hurt the opposition, and I fancy him to do so next season. All in all Bennings putting together a team with play off qualities. So pleased with his team building.

[Signing] Canucks re-sign Goldobin, 1 year/900k
spook007 replied to HerrDrFunk's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
What the above 3 post shows clearly is the opportunities for Green next season... Its been a long time since we have this sort of riches... Personally believe is will be a fight between Baerschi and Goldie, who will enter the top 6. Just can't see there being room for both.... Ferland/Goldie - Pettersson - Boeser Goldie/Baertschi/Ferland - Horvat - Miller/Peason Ferland/Virtanen/Baertschi - Sutter/Miller - Pearson/Sutter Virtanen/Leivo - Beagle - Motte/Sutter -

This is good for us, regardless of the outcome. If he's motivated and does well, brilliant, and if he isn't, we've ducked the bullet... Very pleased... -
Defo gotten bigger around the neck...
-
Thought the best sequence was the hit on Tyson Jost... Maybe just maybe this could be the tricker to get Virtanen to run like a wrecking ball as well... Both players capable of 15-20 goals but its the physical play that could give us the edge... Really looking forward to us being more physical again.

Good call
