Dank dat hank Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The Canucks are in rebuild mode. They weren't expected to make the playoffs this year. It's been a lost year. The one bright spots are the young guys. I dins the watch the game tonight but saw that jake got 1 goal 1 assist and. He's been playing solid for the past month and has improved a lot. As much as jarred has not been producing lately, he will have one year of NHL experience under his belt and that is important. Ya he probably should've been sent back to juniors this year but he has gained experience. Ben Hutton has been amazing all year and arguably are most consistent defender. He has made huge strides this year when no one knew who he was before! Guys like Sven have been producing guys like horvat have been extroardinairy... Guys the future is very bright! Hopefully we can add Matthews (or at least a top 5 pick) and we have a solid core for years to come with boeser producing with demko, Guance etc. anyways guys, let me know what you guys think.

48MPHSlapShot Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 We aren't adding Mathews. The chances are pretty much nonexistent that we land him. The kids are alright, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Virtanen was a beauty tonight. Couldn't believe my eyes. Made me extremely excited for the future. Horvat, Virtanen, Hutton, McCann Gaunce. They all looked awesome. We NEED a top 5 pick this year. That would really solidify this young group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 My thoughts are of the group that pushed back the rebuild and how much farther along we could have been right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids are alright, tho. I'm fine if we don't get to pick Matthews. We are pretty good in the middle. What we're lacking is a future #1 left winger, and Laine is that guy. In 3-4 years: Laine - McCann - Boeser Baerstchi - Horvat - Virtanen Gaunce - Granlund - Etem Kenins - Cassels - Grenier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 need a top 5 big time. we need a top 5 or a defensive stud. So picking 8th won't be that bad, but if they get top 3 they need to go with the picks and not off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would the young guys be developing as well? It could go either way, end of the day, they are bringing talented young guys and have surrounded them with solid veterans...best way forward IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boddy604 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Baertschi, Granlund, Horvat, Virtanen, Etem, Gaunce, Hutton. These are all guys who look like they'll be impact players for the Canucks for a long time. Impact doesn't mean top line just that they'll fill a role well on the team. It sucks Hansen was hurt cuz I think a middle 6 of Baertschi-Granlund-Virtanen and Gaunce-Horvat-Etem would actually be pretty good. I've got high hopes for McCann, Pedan, Tryamkin, and Boeser too but they haven't been given a real chance yet. (I don't think anyone will argue leaving McCann on the 4th line while Vey spent 2 months manning the 3rd was giving McCann a chance but there's also just no room for McCann after Sutter returns so I think we won't see much of him after this season for a while) So yes, the future looks bright. Let's say we get 4th overall and draft Tkachuk. In like 3 years we have: Tkachuk-Horvat-Boeser Baertschi-McCann-Virtanen Gaunce-Sutter-Etem Zalewski-Granlund-Grenier Hutton-Tanev Tryamkin-Subban Pedan-Larsen Markstrom Demko And that's just what's in the system RIGHT NOW. Not including free agents and whatever else gets drafted till then. That's impressive enough to be optimistic about imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
