  1. He isn't good at D yet too either. That's why someone like Pearson would do well. We'd need another top 6 forward to drop him down thoug. Suter's a question mark. Nevertheless I do think we need an upgrade on our 3rd line LW. Hope Ferland comes back healthy.
  2. If he's an offensive player he'd probably would be in the top 6. Pearson can drop which would give us some pretty good depth at LW if Suter could make the jump well. Pearson would do well while Jake/Gaud develop their checking sides.
  3. Probably. Would be the first thing I would have bought in his shoes.
  4. We'd suck if you went full youth. Need both. Gaud and Jake are still rounding out their games hence why they are sheltered and not on the PK. If you're gonna add more players that need to be sheltered while we are still working with these guys you aren't gonna have a good mix. Once Gaud/Jake do that we'd be in a position to bring in more young forwards to the top 9. Next year get rid of Sutter/Roussel and give Virtanen/Gaud some secondary PK time. We definitely shouldn't have a young top 6 D pairing. Need a veteran to stabilize things for an up and coming D. Even Tryamkin is gonna need time to readjust to the NHL if he comes back. Someone like Dillon or Edmundson would do that nicely. Also Tanev/Hughes has worked out pretty well, I would try to get Tanev re-signed. We'd be locked up on D for a bit but Seattle could just take Tanev/Myers if they don't take Demko or we make a deal for them too. Rafferty would benefit from starting out as a 7th D, he'd get 40+ games with injuries. Get rid of Benn/Fanta. Juolevi might need another year, he just is finding his feet. We are gonna keep bringing in youth on a yearly basis. Big Mac, Rafferty and hopefully Tryamkin will all likely be on the roster next year with Lind being the call up getting the Big Mac treatment, being groomed for the following year.
  5. Useless is the only word I would describe Roussel this year. What role does Roussel play on this team? Does he PK? nope. Should he be on the PP? nope. Does he bring grit? nope. What does he do? He has currently been a huge disappointment this year and has brought nothing to this team. Spending most of his time playing with our two best secondary scorers outside the top 6 on a sheltered line with Jake and Gaud. They can spend the money elsewhere easily. At least Beagle has a role and plays it well. Hell even Sutter does and he's worse than Beagle. You can even say Eriksson has been more useful haha. Gaud can do a lot better. Roussel's been invisible all year. Gaud's line is pretty streaky too so I wouldn't put much thought into them play a couple alright games, they've done that all year then disappear for a stretch. Also have to account for Ferland possibly coming back. Either way we need guys who bring a lot of elements whether that be play physical D&some scoring, etc. Roussel literately plays zero roles on this team and doesn't bring any sort of redeeming aspects like grit(Mac/Ferland), even Eriksson is used on the PK. If we had a 2nd buyout Roussel easy. 3M is gonna buy you a lot better than Roussel. 3M can get you someone that actually plays a role. Doubt we get more than one though.
  6. No he can't. He's not as good defensively, on the PK, on the draws. Sutter doesn't have the veteran leadership of winning a cup either or a ton of playoff experience. Also despite Beagles injury woes they're not as nearly as bad as Sutter's. Team also seems to miss Beagle more when he's out than Sutter. Probably has to do with Beagle being able to do what he's asked better. For the role on the team and on the ice Beagle fits the bill more than Sutter. We shouldn't use a buyout of Sutter though. Rather Baer or Roussel who's been completely useless. You should be preaching Roussel TBH.
  7. If you guys want to replace Myers then we have to have a legit defenseman coming into replace him. Going young will just cause a lot of issues. You'd see Benn or Fanta at 20+ a game. You want that?
  8. Beagle>>>>>>>Sutter. We also need PKers on the 4th line. Beagles been doing a good job at that.
  9. Motte’s not going anywhere and the type of role he plays is to allow kids like Lind Hog and Pod sheltered ice time. Why would we want any of those players to start on the 4th playing a checking role? It’s what he’s currently doing for Virtanen and Gaudette already. Hoglander is probably gonna spend a year in the AHL. Lind probably gets the Mac treatment and is first call up next year and Pod is another year away. Not all three of these guys will make it right away. Also Virtanen and Gaud have to round out their games before we bring in more players who have to be sheltered. That’s pretty key.
  10. I think we should switch to a black, white and red. revamped 90s skate logo.
  11. Ooops I meant Delorme. I thought we were talking about him for some reason. I posted the article stated that not long ago must of slipped my mind somehow.
  12. I wouldn't mind. Would be fun to meet up with some CDCers when this pandemic is over and catch a Canucks game.
  13. Would be pretty cool to meet up with some CDCers here and watch a game. Quite a few guys/gals I'd like to share a drink and cheer are team with. We're the more passionate part of the Canucks fan base so it would be quite fun I'd imagine.
  14. I am not afraid to live with shame. I love good Italian food and sushi. I am 1/8 Asian, 1/8 Black, 1/8 Latino, 1/2 white(French, Swiss, Irish) and 1/8 ??? First name's Irish but it can be Latino if spelled differently, Last is French. I can pass for a native, Middle eastern, Pacific Islander, or Latino. Been mistaken for all. People say I look like Jason Momoa with shorter hair. Dad was an Immigrant from Trinidad. I just say I am just all the nations combined.
  15. Maybe JT can help us with Asians and women too.
  16. Not gonna be disappointed since i have tempered expectations! That's where I was getting at. I am expecting him to come in here as a 3rd pair D and having a adjusting period in the NHL. After a bit of experience then he progresses forward, to what end is to be determined. I will take the coffee though Or a beer would be great too.
  17. He was the first one in the organization high on Pettersson so not just College.
  18. Chara as a Canucks coach. I would never imagine. As a coach in general I don't think that the refs would ever want to skate over and give him an explanation to anything. "Oh geez which one of us is gonna go over there..." "Since you brought it up it's only fitting...." "&^@#" IDK if he'll be as good as Chara dude. That's some optimism right there. I am not the type of poster that only sees the 'dark clouds' ahead just being real but I think you have that sense of me since we've had a few convos the past 2 months here. I am the type that would rather be pleasantly surprised than utterly disappointed.
  19. Madagascar one of them? They seem to always survive when In play Plague Inc.
  20. I would want a Ferland type to handle those types of duties instead. Need more than one guy. We tried that with Dorsett and Guddy. Hopefully Ferland is ready to go next season. Mac/Fer/Try would make us a bit more intimidating and might actually encourage Jake to engage more physically knowing he has that sort of back up behind him.
  21. EP always talks good about prospects and I think one of their guys "Curtis Joe" has been on CDC. I forget what alias. I remember him here back raving about PLD in 2016 and a couple guys in the 2017 draft thread. I wouldn't solely take what they say as fact.
  22. I don't think Motte has anything left to say. It is his spot. He's earned the right to stay. People keep forgetting he's only a couple months older than Bo.
