At 9:11, Ben Kuzma, your typical vancouver journalist...god that made me sick How many different ways can they ask and reword "do you want to play in the NHL next year?" Just like questions about his size, you can tell he already knows the media here and how to cut them off when they get like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Quinn said he wanted to play in Canada and the spotlight he probably wasn’t specifically thinking of our obnoxious media cohort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat was aswell, coming into his first season Horvat was already one of our best faceoff men from the start & he had improved his skating more than enough to play. And yet, just like now with Gaudette and Pettersson, there was no shortage of people advocating they start in Utica. It's become a young man's game, and players are ready a lot earlier now because of improvements in development programs. When players are NHL-ready they should play in the NHL. Pettersson is NHL-ready. Gaudette is NHL-ready. Hughes is NHL-ready. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, we can always find someone with a big shot to pair with him. He’s a rover.. not a 6’4 cannon that has to stay on the point. He’s all over the ice. ...and it’s not like he won’t have a pair of cannons to feed in Brock and Elias! Absolutely! Elias’s shot amazes me. How he generates so much power in his shot. Kids gotta have that wiry strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More important than having a huge shot imo( see ankle buster Edler). If he can continue to sneak shots thru at the nhl level maybe we see a resurgence of Erickson cleaning up the garbage around the net. We need to buy contracts like Eicksson’s out. Same with Gagner, give players like Goldobin and Dahlen a chance. Edited July 4, 2018 by Pure961089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather redundant at this point with the likes of Goldy and Dahlen waiting in the wings. Given the nasty run of bad luck concerning injuries. I have little doubt those young guns get a chance to play regardless of Gagme being here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Canucks will ice the best team possible. They have lacked depth the last three years with all the injuries. Could we see a NHL contract or two buried in the AHL? When you have youth you have two or three years of bargain contract space, so things may not be as bad as we hear the Toronto media saying. I get it for sure, Eastern Media is worried we might be a head of the rebuild and that makes a lot of teams look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure961089 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I think Erickson is going to end up squeezing I guy like Dahlen out. We need to bite the bullet on him to get out from under his constricting, stifling, bloated contract. Edited July 4, 2018 by Pure961089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last players we had that went to the net like this were Burrows and Jansen in their prime. Bo Horvat does sometimes but Dahlen goes to the net like a pitbull with regularity. Dahlen is Honeybadger 2.0 Edited July 4, 2018 by Pure961089 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should just call Toronto or Chicago and get advise on how to get rid of the contract without buying it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson is NHL-ready. Gaudette is NHL-ready. Hughes is NHL-ready. Were Jake Virtanen & Jared McCann NHL-ready too? What about the people advocating for them to go back? I certainly wasn't one advocating for Boeser & Horvat to not play. And unlike Hughes, they had gone back after the draft, in Brock's case multiple years. Same with Pettersson & Gaudette.
