I've always heard that hockey players lose weight over the course of the season so it would not be hard to imagine the players regaining that weight during the off season due to less work. I would not believe he put on 30 pounds of solid muscle. From what I remember of his pictures back then, he wasn't exactly ripped.

I really like the idea of splitting up Boeser and Pettersson. At the tail end of the season, Petey kept passing to Brock, it's like his shot went away. I'm sure if they get split, Petey will end up using his shot more.

Can he be a Jarrko Ruutu with skill?

Why would the Canucks want Podkolzin buying out of his KHL deal? Free development and it seems like the KHL is a better development league for Russians than the AHL.

It it can help Utica win, I'm all for it. It's better to grrom the prospects in a winning environment.

Miller is signed for years, how is he a rental?

Boeser + 10th Overall for Dahlin?

I heard that it's Mrs. Tryamkin who needs to be lured.

Is there such thing as a journeyman coach?

Why do I get the feeling if Trouba comes to Van, Woo goes to Winnipeg.

Seriously?

Thank you

I have never read anything with him linked to the Canucks as a rumour. Also, if you want him, it would probably take Pettersson.

At this point, I want to keep Bo, he compliments Pettersson nicely as a 1 and 2C. They are very opposite from each other so it can make it harder for teacms to match against.

I'm hearing people say Boeser with 56 points is going to get 7 million and Panarin has 87 points. I'm thinking 8.5-9 million.

Let the kid grow up a bit in Cagary, let him grow into his body a little more while he can still be a teenager is probably going to do more for him than playing rookie minutes in a pressure packed NHL. Defenceman usually take longer to develope anyways, what's the harm? I don't care who says this player or that player is better. To me, if the Canucks develop him properly, he could be a Shae Weber type defenceman.

OK so from what I have read about the rumours so far. The Canucks are tied to a whole lot of players but realistically, if something were to happen through trade, the Canucks probably only have enough assets worth gving up for one major player or the cap space to land one major free agent. So the players that have been tied to the Canucks according to rumours is Lucic, Malkin, Benn, and Panarin. So if the Canucks can only get one considering the assets we might have to give for each one, who would you want?

If his leadership was so good the owner would not have ripped him up in the first place

Making room for an Eriksson demotion?

What worries me about this trade is that what if it's a spoiler for something that has been pre-determined even before camp begins. Like if I was the GM of the Hitmen, I would at least kick the tires and give JB a call at guage the probability of Woo getting sent back before making such a huge commitment of assets.

Good luck in Europe.

It wouldn't suprise me much if the 10th gets traded for a later pick and Benning gets a sleeper like a Boeser.

Doesn't Malkin have a no trade? And if so, why would Malkin waive it to come to Vancouver?

I have never been so disappointed in a movie for a long time. Thor turns into Lebowski? Really? That showing basically turned all the movies Thor was in in the past a joke. I get that they needed a comedic arch but to do that to Thor? They should have left the comedy to the raccoon. I did not particularily like the way Thanos was seen as so weak. This movie did a majoy disservice to his character. In the comics, Thanos is not that stupid or weak, he is a calculated villian with the intellegence level above anything a mere human can understand. The guy managed to turn mistress death into his slave for crying out loud. I remember the comic book version where Thanos rips Wolverines adamantium skeleton out of his body, he single handedly destroyed and killed almost every popular superhero in the Marvel universe. There should have been more bloodshed in this movie. The Captain should have died in that fight.

The amount the Hitmen gave up for one year of his services should be an indicator of how excited we should be of him.
