CanadianRugby Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Simple question. What do you want to happen this season (realistically) in order for it to be a success in your view. For me: 1. Boeser is one of the top rookies 2. Another youngster makes the team (out of camp or partway through season) and shows he belongs in NHL 3. Canucks add a 1st and 2nd round pick (or two 2nd round picks) for next year's draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I just want to see some reasonably competitive, entertaining hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 - Stecher to take a big step forward. - Boeser a Calder candidate - Virtanen to prove me wrong - Lowkey hoping for a bottom 5 finish for that high pick - Big time sellers at the trade deadline This one is pretty unrealistic but if Benning works a miracle and trades Sutter and/or Dorsett for a decent return.

Rocky Balboa Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 No more hot potato on the PP. No more Megna/Chaput with the Sedins. Marchand getting speared in the nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dKs89 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Sick of seeing Megna get more minutes than nearly every key player on this team. It needs to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansen was moved last season because of the expansion draft. Here's the pending ufa's for this years deadline..... Sedins (already know they won't be moved) Vanek Rodin Megna Biega Wiercioch I don't really see a first out of that bunch. Or two 2nds for that matter.

Cramarossa Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 -Bo with 65+ points and an A on his chest all season. -Markus with 20+ goals. -Brock playing 41 or more games. -Subban finally getting a NHL game in. -Play that's exciting and competitive most nights, regardless of whether or not we win.

Boudrias Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 What do I want this season? This season is all about the development and evaluation of existing talent. Yes, making playoffs is down the priority list. I still want to draft top 7 - 8. That Horvat centers the top line. That this is the Twins swan song. That either Edler or Tanev are moved for a 1st Round pick. That Gudbranson and Hutton take a step up which I think they can do. That the movement of players between Vancouver and Utica is increased through the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I don't care if we finish last, all I want is an overall entertaining season. And maybe some trades shipping out the stubborn vets that don't improve over the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DADDYROCK Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 What do I want this season, For the Canucks to finally get a first overall draft pick, who becomes a superstar halloffamer. Our first ever first overall in what 47 or 48 years,just to even things out a little,and help us to transition to when the Sedins finally hang them up. Or, the Canucks see the Sedins retire and use their salaries to get Crosby so that next season we could possibly bring the Cup back to Canada and the first time ever that the Canucks WIN THE STANLEY CUP! This is all I want,yeah that's the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 1) Boeser on the team and competing for the Calder. 2) Virtanen on the team and stepping up his game. 3) A big season from Granlund. 4) Horvat to continue his progression. 5) Young Dmen stepping up (Stetcher, Hutton, Gudbranson) 6) More vets shipped out when it becomes apparent we're not a playoff team (Or sooner....The quicker Vanek is out of here the better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 - A lottery draft pick - Edler or Tanev traded at the TDL for a 1st - Virtanen to take a step forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 As with most, I really just want a reason to watch the games. Last season was a total yawnfest. If we see that then there is a chance we see the playoffs too... Which would be nice, but it isn't like we have any chance for the cup so whatever... But second to that, I want to see continued development of our players in both the big team and Utica. We have a lot of young talent now and are completely relying on finding a few stars in the mix to be competitive going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
