It's his last get out of jail free card.
Not sure that he'd survive another season if we don't make the playoffs again and if he fails at freeing up cap this off-season. Not sure that and the uproar of giving up a lotto to NJD would sit well with Aqua.
Hope he is able to free up some cap with the cap going up so he can add pieces we need.
I know. Some of our current vets don't bring as much to the table(Sutter, Eriksson, Roussel). I would like to see some removed and replaced with better ones. Ones who can play defensive and provide some secondary scoring or physicality instead of just being defensive. We got too many straight defensive guys.
I feel like the Canucks as a team need this sort of change. Not positive that Green can get the most out of our roster.
I wouldn't mind giving him a chance. Old school but a players coach.
Myer's is great then Myers is not.
I wonder if the coaches think putting Myers with Fanta/Benn is gonna make the good Myers show up more.
We've seen him play pretty good with Hughes.
IDK bro. Pearson, Gaud, Petey, Boeser, Hughes, Toffoli, Virtanen, Miller, Motte have all been great adds by JB.
It's a wonder.
Probably need a coach who can get this team to play sound team defense 5v5 instead of this passive play.
Well Petey is still a 6'2'' shrimp. Doesn't help him during a long season. Boeser can't stay healthy. Who knows if Hughes is gonna be as good with teams knowing him next year. Virtanen and Gaud need to be sheltered defensively and still have to round out their games.
These young stars are still just scratching surface but we got a few road bumps ahead with them. We just need to surround them with better players, particularly in the bottom 6/top 6 D. Fanta/Benn/Stecher play like 7th D and Sutter/Eriksson/Roussel are pretty redundant.
Mostly young players and some bad veterans aren't really a good cocktail. Need more guys that bring it like Miller/Toffoli/Pearson.
Also I think the team defense has a lot to do with the systems we're playing. Way too passive of a team.
Sutter/Baer/Benn have 1 year left so they'd be easier. If Eriksson retired that would be awesome too.
Would love us to sign everybody besides maybe not Stecher/Fanta and bring in a solid defenseman in the top 6.
Looks like the TMP just jumped another hurdle.

If we miss then I would hope that our luck turns around and we win a top 3 pick.
Askarov wouldn't be a bad pick up either if we aren't. He's gonna be a stud goalie.
You all see Miller there with his arm around Virtanen giving him some words of confidence there after his smart play with the shot on Pearson's goal?
Someone gif that.
