  1. Sutter/Baer need to be moved. Hope that Loui retires otherwise we gonna say bye to more picks.. Maybe Ferland has too retire too which would suck. Also gotta pray that Tanev/Markstrom take discounts. A lot has to go right!
  2. Would that solve a lot of issues. We could pull an Oprah and be like "And you get a new contract! And you get a new contract!..."
  3. I was hoping it was early this year but that didn't happen. I see a lot of Honey Badger(in his prime) in Jake but with more bite and snipin. Maybe a Badger with a shotgun.
  4. Toughness and shed some damn cap to re-sign everybody. Don't want to let Toffoli walk and lose Madden for nothing. That would make everyone upset.
  5. Pearson would be a perfect 3rd liner on a super deep stanley cup contender. Jake would too. Jake needs to start being used out on a PK role. Being able to play that checking role on top of the scoring he brings would make him invaluable. Gaud too but at wing on PK to start till his faceoffs get better. Gotta get these guys used to it before Sutter and Beagle are gone. That's another thing Green should be doing.
  6. I feel they wouldn't traded him if they weren't completely comfortable with Gaudette. On top of that he has to compete with Pod/Hogs who have big advantages over him being very skilled and a lot more feisty than him. TBH it would be a tough spot for him here and he has that option of 4 years. A lot of variables to consider. Yeah Toffoli needs to re-sign for this to be good and Benning needs to somehow work the cap.
  7. To me he's like the perfect complimentary player. Not the most skilled guy but a hard worker and has a pretty decent shot and instincts around the net. He's produced like a top 6 forward since he's been here. Can't deny that. EN unit for lyfe
  8. I heard of people here saying Rath wanted to go pro asap. Don't take my word for it check out his forums it's there somewhere.
  9. He's 2nd in PP points on 2nd unit behind Gaud and 1st in SH points. Plays PK and PP effectively since he isn't heavily relied on it. Having a career year. He's been a 2nd line guy for us. Even when we got him last year he had like 9 goals in 18 games.
  10. Where would he play though? top 6 is mostly made up and we got Pod and Hogs in the wings. We desperately need more grit in our bottom 6 and Gaudette is playing 3rd C.
  11. Eriksson would need to retire. Maybe Ferland does too. Sutter/Baer would need to be dealt. Tanev and Markstrom would have to take discounts. At least 2 of 3 of those would need to happen.
  12. IF we re-sign toffoli then this isn't a bad move but a pretty good one. I think this is the type of trade that helps teams take that next step. Gonna need to ship some guys out though holy.
  13. We have a lot of prospects on the cusp and a lot of spots filled in on the roster already. It appears that the Canucks believe in Gaudette being a 3rd C which makes anyone behind him expendable, which was Madden in this case. If they weren't confident in what they had they wouldn't of traded what they thought was a position of strength. That said I hope Toffoli re-signs.
  14. Gotta give to get. Madden has promise but a lot of hurdles. They must believe in Gaud as 3rd C. I think it is just another pick separate from the 2nd.
