Pretty good chance that will change as most mock drafts for 2020 feature the chl heavily. Who knew canadians are actually pretty good at hockey.

Looks like Johan Franzen has come out now saying babcock is “ the worst person he’s ever met”. Supposedly babcock bullied him a lot which was also after franzen suffered multiple concussions. He ended up having a breakdown once on the bench during a game and again later in the dressing rm. Franzen now deals with ptsd from the whole ordeal and is only now just starting to feel normal again. If someone else can post the link to the full story that would be awesome. also peters was an assistant coach with the wings at the time.... birds of a feather.

Just miffed at how much green is underutilizing virtanen. That was maybe the best period of his career in the second and he basically gets benched in the third. There was a lot of special teams situations in the third so I get him not being out there for that but what about when it’s 4 on 4?! Give the kid some more ice time for Christ sake green!

Jake hast a great second period and now barely seen him in the third, typical green. -
I would love to see him smashing guys in the corner regularly but judging how the team plays on a whole I’m going to guess green doesn’t exactly coach an overly physical style of game. Like some other posters have mentioned it seems like jake might be nervous to make a big hit which puts him out of position and he ends up stapled to the bench yet again.
-
This could very well be the problem which obviously as fans we can only speculate. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he were traded and really figures it out with another team.
-
Obviously there were concerns about his conditioning when he showed up to camp this year so you could very well have a point. Having said that I haven’t noticed him being short of breath often. If you ask me the team has mis managed him and his development. Blows my mind how he’s never used on any special teams, o.t., shootout etc.

I really wish bert had never said that whole 7x7 comment as it’s totally unrealistic. No player in the league is averaging 7 hits per game and I think the average is somewhere around 2. Jake plays around 10 min per game so 7x7 is ridiculous to expect. While I will admit there’s lots of room for improvement in jakes game it seems he very rarely gets rewarded for strong efforts and quite often gets demoted or benched when he makes a mistake. I’m not sure he’ll ever make it out of greens doghouse.

Waaaaay too much perimeter play 5 on 5. Team is playing soft right now, need to get into those dangerous areas in the slot and make something happen. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Micheal Ferland
Nancouver replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Over the moon with this signing! I’ve wanted ferland all along but after acquiring miller didn’t think it would happen. Man this team looks scary now, that forward group is heavy and mean looking! Teams better keep their heads up cause this is a whole new canucks they will be facing. People wanted pushback? Well we got some more today, future looks bright! And at 3.5?! What a steal! -
[GDT] 2019 NHL Entry Draft
Nancouver replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Haven’t posted here in quite a while but just want to say I’m fired up about this pick! I wanted Krebs or Newhook going into the draft and gotta be honest, I hadn’t considered pods much because I thought he’d go higher. This really could very well be the steal of the draft, I mean the kid was ranked 3rd overall by most pundits for the majority of the season! Just watched an interview with pods and even with a translator you can tell he’s got a chip on his shoulder. Picturing him with bo and maybe virtanen will be wrecking teams on the forecheck! Kids a bull! -
Newhook/ krebs
-
Skinner has lots of gas left in the tank so I would think he’d be attractive to playoff teams in the future if need be. 40 goal scorer with a bit of sandpaper. That first line would be deadly
