Odjick the Warrior Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 As good as it would be to get a PF winger like Anderson out of Columbus it would most likely cost Hoglander and Virtanen just to start the conversation which is too high because the Canucks will have Podkolzn coming next season and Hoglander is needed to bring his skill, gritt and ability to hopefully play up and down the lineup when needed on a ELC compared to another player on the verge of becoming a ufa that wants a long term deal or test the market while still needing to lock up Petey and Hughes.

SilentSam Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Anderson is everything Jake should be. As long as that shoulder has fully repaired I would let both Jake and Hoglander go for him. Jake is on thin ice here, and moving Hoglander helps relieve the traffic jam of players about to push forward here. its a hockey trade. Especially where a player like JA might not be happy,. Or might not be putting his game together in JV. .. or Jake and Sutter to Florida for Ekblad. Florida needs a 3rd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because moving Hoglander helps remove that dreaded log jam of young skilled players on ELCs. Can't have that in our system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is coming off of a shoulder surgery which may affect his play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem management have with Jake isn't his on ice play, it is his off-ice issues that drives GM and coaches insane. I really hope Jake would get it together both on and off the ice. I think on the ice, he is really improving year after year. Off the ice though, it just seems like he took one step forward and two steps back. Regardless Jake remains as a Canuck or not, I would root for him. I just hope he realizes how much potential he has and how well he could be if he is completely dedicated to being a professional hockey player.

Jake turned 24 in August but some of the stuff Jake does off the ice is not quite mature, especially compare to others who are around his age like Bo (25) and Brock (23). E.g. filming himself driving which clearly violates BC's traffic laws. That being said, different people mature at different age, and everyone is different.

My son turned 24 in August as well and I'm still waiting for his maturity to catch up to his younger sisters 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only a few months older than Jake myself. I don't consider myself mature (far from that), but I know I would not have done some of the thing Jake did.

He doesn't seem like the kind of teammate that would put up with slacking off and already said that he sees his younger self in Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
