Going Forward From Today, Who's In Better Shape... Vancouver Or Chicago?

[afesposit]

I think the Cancucks need to get much bigger...

Chicago needs some D and better goaltending.

I think Chicago is in better shape, though I hate to say it...

Coaches... Have to give it to the Q b/c he has a cup? I dunno... thoughts?

[j3ff]

I don't think Chicago will be in 'great' shape until they find a steady, reliable goaltender.. their main core is awesome.

No way in he ll that Gillis would ship him there... The chance of Lu coming back to bite them would be ridiculous....

[NightHawkSniper]

I like our situation a lot more, with 2 good choices in net whether they choose to trade Luongo/Schneider or keep both of them (unlikely) It's not like Lack isn't ready to be a back-up.

[PlanTheParade]

We are definitely ahead by miles. Their bottom 6 is old and depleted and their goaltending is shoddy at best.

[Master Mind]

We have 2 elite goalies, they have none.

[Edler's Broken Stickz]

Oh I realize that but oh man if we could strip them of their stars it would be awesome plus something tells me Chicago fans wouldn't want LU.

[needtogetswole]

we have way more depth in the bottom 6 positions than they do - but they've got a pretty solid top 6 - but you can't win without the forecheckers and grinders!

[needtogetswole]

They will not ship out their core players. Just like how we don't trade the sedins or burrows they won't give us toews or kane.

[gradin123]

Chicagos core is younger but they definitely are weaker in goal and have all of a sudden become a bit soft.

I think as a GM in Chicago your job would be easier right now though because you have more options. They may need a bit more work but they also have more flexibility.

I think Chicago is in better shape right now tbh. I mean they do have Toews and Kane , two of the best youngest stars in the NHL

[lundhead]

I think you gotta go with Chicago, the Canucks took a huge step back this year.

[iinteenseee]

no way in hell would I ever want Kane, I'd love toews but I don't like him as a person - interview's, whining and all made me not really like him much.

[Amish Rake Fighter]

They have good top end talent but the Hawks have a big question mark in goal, no depth on a soft defence and they need a 2nd line center and one more top 6 winger.

Another moronic topic by this clown

[Canuck Surfer]

Their core of forwards (Kane, Toews, Sharp) & defense Kieth, Seabrook is younger and more dynamic than ours. I would have bet on the Canucks this year & (summer changes sight unseen) next because of depth and goaltending.

Beyond next year I have a hard time seeing the Sedins maintaining an elite position & we dont have anyone up & coming.

They have a better core.

We have better depth at forward.

Their top defencemen are better.

Our goalie(s) are better.

Their coach is far better.

I say it's a saw-off, but depth is more important so will put us on-top in head-to-head matchups.
