[Discussion] NEXT SEASON


Recommended Posts

I know there are tons of threads telling the Canucks faithful all about how good or bad the Canucks will do next year. I want to shed some light on how I think the Canucks will do. My prediction is solely based on who the Canucks draft in this upcoming draft. If we draft top 3, we r a playoff team. Anyone we pick in the top 3 whether it be Matthews laine or puljuarvi will lead us to the playoffs. All of them are dynamic. Plus with Markstrom and Miller sharing duties we should have solid goaltending. Also put in perspective if we got Stamkos!!! Here are just the forward lines in each scenario...

 

sedins hansen

rodin matthews sutter

baerstchi horvat virtanen

Gaunce granlund etem

 

Sedins Laine/puljujarvi         (Love this)

Rodin sutter Hansen

baertschi horvat virtanen

gaunce granlund etem 

 

or if we get Stamkos 

 

and one of the top 3 

 

sedins stamkos 

rodin Matthews sutter 

baertschi horvat virtanen

gaunce granlund etem 

 

sedins laine/puljujarvi 

rodin Stamkos sutter 

baertschi horvat virtanen

gaunce granlund etem 

 

Id love to be GM. If we don't get top 3 though, we can expect another non playoff year especially with no Stamkos as well. So in conclusion...

 

Top3+stamkos= cup

Stamkos+4-6pick= eventual cup

 

top3= eventual cup

4-6 pick= no cup, and won't be competitive for awhile, needs more pieces.

 

Let me know of what u guys think, I haven't been on in awhile so I don't know if there were other threads about this. Tell me what u think the Canucks should do.

Then why didn't you go on one of those and type this up?

Also, just a tip, all posts need tags. IE - [Discussion] NEXT SEASON

This part made me laugh. A top 3 pick isn't going to change much next season. 

 

We are still going to be in the hunt for a playoff spot, with or without a top 3 picks

If we don't make too many moves, I think we'll end up around 9th - 12th in the conference next season (with not as many injuries as this year). We're a good team when fully healthy but nowhere near playoff-good.

 

If Benning goes out and gets us a top-6 scorer and top-4 defenceman, we'll make the playoffs (whether it be trade or UFA).

 

If Benning gets us a top-6 scorer, top-4 defenceman, depth defenceman too, we'll be a solid top-3 team in the division.

 

For example:

 

Sign Boedker, Eriksson, Okposo, Ladd or Lucic for 4 years 6M.

Sign Demers for 5 years 6-7M

 

If draft #1 overall - draft Matthews. McCann + Sbisa + 2nd for Hamonic/McCann + pick for Theodore or other 20ish year old defenceman.

If draft #2-3 overall - draft Laine. Sbisa + Hansen + 2nd for Hamonic/Virtanen for Theodore/Pouliot/Morrow etc. (Most likely to happen)

If draft #4-6th - draft Chychrun.

 

Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson (most likely to sign)

Baertschi - Sutter - Hansen

Laine - Horvat - Rodin

Gaunce - Granlund - McCann

 

Edler - Tanev

Hutton - Demers

Tryamkin - Sbisa

Theodore

Subban

You posted on an alt account to make your post.  If you can't use your real account to voice your opinion, I think you know that you are making a weak case.  Top 3 picks + 1 player does not automatically equal a cup, eventual or otherwise.

I have all kinds of suggestions of what they should do, but what they should NOT do, is listening to us for advise. :lol:

can you imagine what this team would look like if they followed every fan suggestion?...fans can't even agree on anything...

50 fans say trade this player while another 50 says, don't trade him...who will you side with jim?

Twitch manages an NHL team? I would watch the hell out of that series.

Personally, I think the Canucks are going to sign Lucic and make a push for Demers. Hopefully with a little luck, we land a Fin, and with everyone's improved play next year, I think we will get to the playoffs.

 

Sedin - Sedin - Hansen

Lucic - Sutter - Laine/Pool Party

Baertschi - Horvat - Virtanen

Gaunce - McCann - Dorsett

 

Edler - Tanev

Tryamkin - Hutton

Demers - Sbisa

 

Markstrom

Miller

 

Depending on the opponent, I think that's a roster that could get past the first round.

With no major moves, This is what the roster would most likely look around. I'm not counting the additions of Rodin, or Larson, and I'm assuming Hamhuis is getting resigned. Preferably I would like upgrades, but without any major moves, the roster should look something like this.

 

Sedin Sedin Hansen

Granlund Sutter Virtanen

Baertschi Horvat Rodin?

Burrows McCann Etem

(Gaunce Dorsett)

 

Edler Tanev

Hamhuis? Larsen?

Hutton Tryamkin

(Sbisa)

 

Markstrom

Miller

 

One thing is for certain, with Boeser, Subban, and Demko on the way, the youth movement is really on the way. A good pick in the top 4, or hopefully the top 3 would really go far in progressing our future.  With a top 3 pick in the forward group, and another stud yound defensive prospect, we are going to be in good shape.
