Popular Post Nuxfanabroad Posted November 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Before folks start looking thoughtfully at bridges & ledges, thought I'd throw this out there. A bit of duality, might be the ticket. Either 1, they turn it 'round, or 2, they're not ready yet. I still contend that either way, we'll be fine. I still love the character youth we've acquired, & fully back our beloved 'Nuckers. 1-turn it round to me simply implies they make the PO's. Thus the trade commitment with Tbay is completed. That's all fine, & today might sit around 40, 50%..who knows? Prob wouldn't go far yet, anyhow..but the exp would be great for our youth. Both making it in, & playing in mid, late April/perhaps early May? Fine & dandy 2-not ready yet There are a number of reasons I'm fully embracing this possibility too. I'll list them here, for simplicity's sake - The two Lou/Lu's have botched the cap. If we slide back(next 60 games), contracts should be simple for the next two yrs. Presumably EP & QH won't be able to demand astronomical deals. We'd prob move on from Schall, Jacob, Tan-man..or re-sign them reasonably. It'll encourage the team to keep inserting exciting ELC youth, every Fall. - We're able to be more aggressive from late Dec-TDL in letting older assets go. It's a great time to collect more picks, or cheaper players/prospects for team & farm. There's a nice period here, to start really shaping/molding the future roster, as an ED looms about 15, 16 mos later. Be proactive & get out ahead of it all. - The 2020 draft is apparently loaded. There's a nice final(hopefully) high pick to add in with our brilliant young core. No Screaming team positional/size-deficiency now, so JB can just sit back & choose whoever he feels is the brightest young talent available. ***So the 2021 pick to Tbay?*** Haters will try to turn this into 14 mos of ranting Hell. I'll state now, they can all go there themselves. Irrespective of whatever selection slot they wind up with, we made this call(I'm glad we did)..from my own pov, a fan should fully accept the choice. For these two yrs & going fwd, Miller will likely be a valuable vet contributor(signed reasonably), helping our youth excel on & off the ice. In the end my friends I'm saying don't get too wound up about every game & streak. Sit back & simply enjoy the games for what they are..entertainment. Don't carry excessive expectations for our classy, young cast. This season should play out so we come out on the winning-end, whichever way it goes.

WCE Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I would have to agree after watching the game, If this team is going to make the playoff it's going to be someone else running the powerplay and coaching. The only players I would see on next years rosters would be Horvat,Pettersson,Boeser,Gaudette,Miller,Virtanen, Edler, Hughes, Demko. Myers has been ok but 4 points in 22 games at 6 million ouch.

Bertuzzi44ever Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I don’t think we’re ready yet. the biggest problem with that is that the fans are beyond ready. We’re tired of sitting in average to below average, and when we see exciting prospects we can’t help but get ahead of ourselves. Like life this rebuild Is a marathon not a sprint. Our backend is not playoff caliber IMO. I mean maybe if up front everyone produces and our goalies streak us games but only then. It’s my opinion I don’t need to be quoted I’ve already expressed my opinion on myers. Edited November 20, 2019 by Bertuzzi44ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really hasn’t been ok. He’s been giving the puck away, taking lazy penalties, missing the net, not using his size, and literally costing us games (remember the 3 on 0 the blues ot winner) anyways I wasn’t going to go on about it but I don’t get it, have people been watching him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhorvat Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 At least everyone else around us is losing. Parity in the nhl is at an all time high. Its becoming the NFL where one year you can be trash and the next season your in the superbowl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how many teams can you say are truly great. boston Washington St. Louis ....of course Colorado and A few others could be argued, Im talking about elite Tampa bay too but they’ve been average this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertaNuck Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 If they were to change to goal song to monster mash I believe they would be more driven to put the puck in the net just my 2 cents 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I was panicking, but now I realize that the Canucks just aren't a good team right now. They have some great pieces, but it hasn't come together yet. Maybe it's a coaching issue. I think they'll miss the playoffs this year and get a couple of more good picks at the Draft. Juolevi seems to be a bust. Guy can't stay healthy and he hasn't even played in the NHL yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DADDYROCK Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Dallas is an older team that is playing great right now,so let's not get too down on our team. There are not too many teams that can take it to Dallas right now, so chill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 why would anyone panic? Anyone with any hockey sense should have known, in September, that this was going to be a roller coaster season, with high highs and low lows..........that's how it is with a team built on the shoulders of young players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
