But I think a forward tends to get more of a pass. Gaudreau comes to mind in that regard. As a defenseman he cant allow himself to get shrugged off the puck in a defensive situation. Luckily, he plays like Stetcher in the fact his positioning and skill is high enough that he rarely needs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, CDC is more educated than 3 & 4 years ago. People, CDC, the market, and not just Vancouver have seen smaller players thrive, display skill, score, make plays. They have seen we do, in fact, need D and talent on D. Similarly, have seen guys like "I wont trade him for ten 1st round picks'' Luke Schenn fail. Where small players like Pastrnak are killing it! Many of the old prejudices, except with Burke, stuck in his old school days, have been dispelled... So people are much more open to the selections being made. We can concentrate on speed and skill first & foremost! Truculence, we need more damn truculence in the league......I need a new tie.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like CDC needs the same talk I gave my kids when their dog ran off. It'd start off with me taking them out for ice cream and sitting them down... “okay you know, he’s gone. And there’s a good chance he’ll never come back. There’s a good chance that if he ever does come back he won’t be the same. That’s just life. It happens.” Edited June 23, 2018 by Standing_Tall#37 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a dog. He can speak for himself and he hasn't expressed otherwise. He's currently under contract. We will see. My money is also on Valeri Nishkabob coming back to Dallas. Some of these Russian kids need more time to leave mother Russias bosom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Canuck Surfer Posted June 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2018 A simple article note that illustrates why we needed someone like Quinn! The Canucks, on the other hand, had just 70 primary points from their defence, ahead of only the Detroit Red Wings. The bottom 10 teams in primary points from defencemen all missed the playoffs. In order to win in the NHL, particularly as the pace of the game gets faster, you need puck-moving, point-producing defencemen. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 1 hour ago, Smashian Kassian said: I listened to the 1040 & 650 interviews. And the media scrum. Man does he ever sound mature. That really struck me, he sounds so confident but not cocky. He's smart, he understands the work, he's considerate. I'm super excited after listening to that and I was already excited. I think he's a consideration to make the team next year. You talk about draftees needing development. We just drafted him hours ago and I think he could step in tomorrow and be at least a good player on our AHL team. Another good pick. This is so exciting. Our powerplay will have him, brock boeser and Elias pettersson... Forget about it. Great night for our franchise! Now we just need Jack next year. No, Jack Hughes would make the Canucks a powerhouse. They've got the makings of a real core now. Unlike what they had in 2009. I'm not calling them a championship team, there is much work left to do but they have a better and more balanced base than the 2011 team had 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
