Special Ed Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Personally I don't see it happening. If I had to guess a percentage. I would say 35% springs to mind. Not the worst odds but definitely not the best or even very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpappy Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Made a bet tonight even money they will...

They lost more then they gained. And have an unproven tender. Not so sure I'd have them in the upper echelon of the west just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweathog Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'd give it 50/50. Entirely possible a team like Phoenix or Minnesota takes a step back this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's between 5 teams for the last 2 spots. I'd say it's doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Too early to tell. You can very often use a team's previous year as a guide, but this year's version of the Canucks are tough to gauge. Since the new regime got rid of the 2013-14 impediment that was John Tortorella, I think that there's a very real chance that the Canucks will squeak into the playoffs in the #7 or #8 slot.

ice orca Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Nobody knows until they play the game, last year was good till January then injuries happened. We have different players and leadership so I will give it the first 25 games to make any predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkayloomeh Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I would bet a fair bit that our Canucks make the playoffs. I'm sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrogZilla Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Maybe 20-25% They clearly need a lot of things to go right next year to make the playoffs, while one or two things going wrong could derail any possibility. I don't think the team as it stands atm is as good as the team we had at the start of last year. Losing Kesler, Santorelli & adding Bonino, Vey is a huge downgrade at center. Losing Garrison, Alberts & adding Sbisa, Sanguinetti is a pretty big downgrade on defence too. If Henrik & or Hamhuis misses any amount of time this team could be in serious trouble. Henrik missing half the season would put us in the running for last place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 il say 50/50.... the West is so damn tight I like the moves that Benning has made so far but im not sure we have enough offensive firepower to make it. If we do, it will be in 7th or 8th most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 For the next year or two better depth of quality, worse top end of quality. The next couple years are join to be tough and see more as a bubble team with around 20% chance. This team needs to learn to play together with all the changes and a lot will depend on inexperienced players. The new group of early 20 somethings including Vey, Sbisa, Corrado, Tanev, Jensen, Matthias and Bonino really needing to come together as a group and step up a lot while waiting for the more talented group of teenagers to transition into the league. Unfortunately I think with essentially two waves of young player coming over the next few years it will be very tough (not Edmonton tough but tough) but the future is bright. Curious what Benning will do if we struggle through the year, do we see Burrows and Bieksa types moved for picks and prospects or more of hockey trades. He certainly doesn't seem like the Nonis or Chevy type that are scared to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Is there 14 teams in our conference again or 15? If there's 14 I believe our chances are 14% or so. If it's 15 then it's 12.5% or so. But I honestly believe we'll be drafting 1-5 overall again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing_Tall#37 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 again?this past season we only had 14 in our conference as Detroit and Columbus moved east, with only Winnipeg moving west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Looking at the Western Conference, teams that are better than us (imo), Anaheim, Colorado, St.Louis, San Jose, Chicago, LA, Minnesota, Dallas, Nashville (with a healthy Rinne), Edmonton (don't actually think they are better but they've made good additions in the offseason so who knows). teams we are equal with, Winnipeg. teams we are better than, Calgary, Edmonton (maybe), Phoenix I hope we do make the playoffs but if we don't, a high pick in the 1-7 area would be sweet; could get us a future franchise player.
