  1. Like the past year, it will be up to Covid-19 to decide. Right now, the players are in much larger bubbles than what they faced during the P/Os. Whichever team(s) get through this season unscathed will be the most successful.
  2. Another self entitled rich brat. Canucks look for young men with character. Not this guy.
  3. Might take some time for Podz to get his NHL game going, but when it does, I think they will be an electrifying line. Nucks might end up with two 1st lines ...1A and 1B
  4. Podz Bo Hogs Horrifyingly relentless.
  5. Bennett wins that one. Poor Jake would be surrounded by a bunch of floaters. He'd probably like Calgary though...kind of a jumbo sized version of Abbotsford.
  6. I never cheer for the Flames, but damn...Marky is a wall tonight. We all know how he can steal a game, no matter what the team is doing in front of him.
  7. I think peeps are comparing his tenacity to those guys. Well, it will be awhile before any of us can make that kind of prediction. Imo, I don't see Podz as a Bertuzzi type; in the new NHL, players get penalties for gently bumping an opponent and suspensions are handed out regularly. Bertuzzi wouldn't be a Bertuzzi in the current league. I think Podz will be more like Horvat with snarl.
  8. Nobody, media or otherwise are blaming the new players on the team's poor record. The confusing title of the OP was misleading.
  9. Benn has done a good job stepping in for Harmonic, but let's consider that the competition was much easier and the team was playing as a far better unit.
  10. It's doubtful that either of them would make the current Canuck roster, so it wouldn't have mattered anyways.
  11. Jake will continue to be 'passed by' as the prospects become ready for the NHL. This year, Hogs jumped past him and next season Podz will likely replace him on the 3rd. Jake has some value; especially his draft position, which a gm may take a chance on (maybe he might think it will turn out the way Ritchie did for Boston). A trade might motivate Jake, and it would probably help for him to be away from the intensity and attention in Vancouver. For me, the most apparent need for the team is next season replacement for Sutter. I just don't see Gaud doing the job. I would love to see JB pick up Scott Laughton.
  12. Great opportunity for Kole. I have been rooting for him since the Canucks drafted him. He definitely has a solid offensive potential. What do you think of his defensive game?
  13. I'm not sure how much cap would remain if LE was bought out, so it's hard to figure out the best way to unload the contract. I don't mind Myers, but I do think his contract is a bit too long.
  14. I like your thinking. I've also been wondering if the ED might be a way of unloading Loui's contract (1 season). Maybe adding Jake or Gaud? If JB can unload LE's contract, they he can pick up a decent 3C in UFA (Scott Laughton) to replace Sutter. I don't think Myers gets claimed in the ED. If Holtby is taken, there are plenty of goalies available in the '21 UFA.
  15. Some of you guys seem to have forgotten all those horrible 1st period collapses, followed by huge 2nd and 3rd period comebacks. At least Demko hasn't adopted the 1st period meaningless goal from Marky.
  16. Well, I guess we can't blame the Markstrom trade for the reason the team is so awful.
  17. How did Chat move ahead of OJ, when he has only played 2 games to OJ's 7? Also, Chat being an RD means that every pairing has to be disrupted except for the Hughes/Benn dual. Just find it strange to sit a young dman that has just played his best game.
