HKSR Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 With the acquisition of JT Miller, it would be perfect if the Canucks land Anders Lee in free agency. Our top 6 would look like: Boeser-Petey-Lee Pearson-Bo-Miller Other than Petey, there's a top 6 that is big, heavy, and strong. Built solidly for playoff hockey. When Podkolzin is ready, Pearson goes on the 3rd line... Boeser-Petey-Podkolzin Miller-Bo-Lee Pearson-Gaudette-Virtanen That's a top 9 to be reckoned with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If this year's playoffs showed us anything - it's that you're going nowhere without depth on every defence pairing. This hasn't been addressed for our club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hasn't been addressed for our club. What it also showed is you don't need a lot of exceptional defencemen. You need a couple very good ones supported by 4 or 5 solid defensive defencemen. A strong and powerful forward group that can forecheck like there is no tomorrow means most of the game gets played in the offensive zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I think we go all in on Panarin and Gardiner Panarin - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Miller Roussel - Gaudette - Virtanen Motte - Beagle - MacEwen Edler - Gardiner Hughes - xxxx/Tanev Juolevi - Stecher Markstrom Demko That’s a pretty good group. Would like to get an upgrade on Tanev if we have the money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Baertschi? Are people writing him off already? I think at this point, our need is defense now. Miller fills a big gap on the front end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Ever since the 2011 our big hole has been on defence. We lost Ehrhoff, Edler has been steadily declining, and we never replaced that joint quality. Throw money at Gardiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If we get Panarin at 7 x 11 we have a legit top 6. Sign Myers 5x6 and I feel we are a playoff team Panarin-EP-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Miller Rousel-Sutter-Virtanen Leivo-Beagle-Motte Gaudette Edler-Tanev Myers-Stecher Hughes-Shenn Hutton-Joulevi Markstom Demko Baertschi, Spooner,Schaller,Goldobin,Eriksson dealt for futures, waived, burried in Utica. Great top line, very good 2nd line, solid bottom 6 Average D, better than last year, not ideal though Solid goaltending Edler, Sutter and Perarson come off the books when Hughes/EP need resigned.

xereau Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 We need another scorer and two short term gritty veteran D, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryamkin? Woo? Some surprise moving up faster and stronger than we thought he would through Utica. A trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Assuming (huge assumption) that Baertschi can play and remain relatively healthy, I'd like to see remaining dollars spent on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they, Swedish twins? Other than Florida, which sound like the likely landing spot, which teams that need a #1 goalie have 20 mill in cap space for the long term?

Would like to get an upgrade on Tanev if we have the money though. If we magically got the best dman and best winger and most dynamic forward available in free agency that would be quite the feat, and very expensive. as much as I’d like to see a top line of Panarin-EP40-Boeser its rather soft and there is no guy on the line to retrieve pucks and have a heavy body you know. I’m sure some games / shifts all stacked would be good when pressing for a goal, power play, playing a team like Tampa etc. but it would be nice if a balanced top 6 was needed we could easily run: Panarin-EP40-Miller Pearson-Horvat-Boeser Baerstchi-Sutter-Leivo Roussel-Beagle-Virtanen im also starting to wonder if Gaudette starts the year in Utica playing big big minutes if no Sutter move comes and ifwe got gardiner I’d try and get Benn too and I’d run d pairings: Gardiner-Tanev Edler-Stecher Hughes-Benn but realistically it’s looking like Myers and Nyquist will be our UFA targets and nemeth as a temp left side guy till Juolevi is good to go running: Miller-EP40-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Nyquist Baerstchi-Sutter-Leivo Roussel-Beagle-Virtanen Edler-Tanev Hughes-Myers Nemeth-Stecher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 On 6/22/2019 at 4:11 PM, DownUndaCanuck said: Edler has been steadily declining Stats say otherwise. He improved dramatically defensively in 18 (he was pretty dismal in that regard for a bit there) and he improved his ppg significantly in 19. If he hadn't been injured, the guy was on pace to get 50 points. I have no idea which Edler we will see for these two years, but I hope it is the Edler we HAVE seen lately.
