Come on, guys lol Keep in mind we have some very young fans on this board. It's to be expected. Hopefully Brock will be signed very soon and all will be well in Canuckland; if only for a few moments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just think it's insane that people are already saying "Oh let's just throw Gaudette or Goldobin on the first line, we'll be fine" as if Boeser not being in the lineup is somehow easily replaceable. But yeah. Internet gonna do internet things! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah. Internet gonna do internet things! to be fair, it's BB who has decided to miss camp. Of course there's going to be blowback from that........all things considered it's been pretty civil. However, the long this goes on, the higher the probability that we might not see BB in blue and green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of him on the first line isn't far fetched as he has the tool box. Before we got Ferland and miller I had him auditioning for a top 6 RW spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post luckylager Posted September 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2019 Watched the scrimmage with my boy this morning. Petey and Ferks are gonna be dangerous together. Baer showed a lot of hustle and desire in the very few shifts he got. CDC seems happy to write him off, but if he can stay healthy I think his play will be very important to the team. For all the crap thrown at Jake, he looked fine. Didn't look dangerous even once, but he's not looking fat or slow out there either. Myers skates so incredibly well for a dude his size. He's freaking gigantic but smooth and really agile. Stoked. For outsiders - I really liked Graovac, he was the best AHLer on the ice today. Brise and Mac looked real good. Actually, the majority of our farm guys looked great. My son - "really liked the way Benn controlled the boards and had clean zone exits every time" Thought that was quality insight from a 10yr old dman. Disappointed in Lind, he was as invisible as Goldy. Like Goldy, always behind the play and not a driver at all. I know we're all excited for the new look Canucks, but Utica should do ok this year. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of him on the first line isn't far fetched as he has the tool box. Before we got Ferland and miller I had him auditioning for a top 6 RW spot When a guy's "position" is pre-determined by his draft slot, on 'either end', is kind of unfair. It's really easy to take a guy drafted in the first round and plunk him on the expected first line... line... meanwhile a guy picked in the 4th is "destined to be a checker forever". Meanwhile, all it really means is X player "was" good when he was 17/18/19 playing against 17/18/19 year olds. I'm far from "good" but if someone drafted me 10 years ago compared to now, it wouldn't even be remotely close - I'm *way* better now than I was then. It stands to reason that other players will go down the same road. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his skating and IQ, I don't think he will be a liability defensively, but he will get out muscled when his bag if tricks isn't an option. If the puck lands on his stick, it's going the other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferland looked great with EP40, he’s a big boy too, so glad he’s on our team now. Jake was just out there running around with basically no purpose or direction half the time, a few times he actually turned to the refs looking for calls, couldn’t believe it. I’m all for packaging him in a Loiu trade at this point. Gaudette looked great, looking much stronger on the puck a long the boards too. MDP looked good, he’ll develop nicely over the years. We’ve got good goaltending between the pipes for years to come. Myers is huge and has a cannon of a shot. Can’t wait for the season to start. Its almost like JV is putting JB into a spot to have to deal him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. Reinhart would have been better appreciated had he spent more time here. It is telling how much we need Hughes when his only comparison in our club history is Reinhart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah. Internet gonna do internet things! It's amazing, especially considering that this is the same board that was mocking the TO fans for $&!#-talking Marner when he wasn't signed. If we start the season without Boes for a significant amount of time, I think people are going to be surprised by how woefully inept we'll be on the wing, considering that outside of Boeser, we only have one guy that generally averages more than a half PPG pace in Miller.

smithers joe Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 we’ve not had players who have had both his level of skating and his offensive upside but we’ve had d-men who either had the skating or over-all abilities, just a little early to doing any anointing yet. i believe he’ll hold that place someday, in time.
