kesler_sedins Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 When all the Canucks bad contracts are up (Eriksson, Sutter, Beagle, Roussel, Luongo's recapture penalty, etc). By then, hopefully Benning will have learned how to properly manage their cap and be more cautious when signing free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Last season's team reminded me a LOT of the 2009 team. They aren't quite there yet, but you can see glimmers. Expecting a deep run within the next 4 seasons, maybe a cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) If the league lets a Canadian team win, I hope it's us and not the make beliefs. Hoglander will be crucial to a Cup victory. We better not trade him and especially not to another Canadian team in this betteman era. Not because of his offensive or defensive skills or his work ethic. Not because of his perceived ceiling. The reason we need Hoglander in order to win the Cup in the betteman era is because for a hog to land, first it has to fly!!

morgo Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Call me crazy, but I just have this funny feeling it's going to happen in 2021. I have no tangible reason for thinking this, just a feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 No panic. It will happen. I just hope I'm still alive when it does. This have to happen first. No 1. WE HAVE TO KEEP PETEY! (Is there money in the budget to pay him what he deserves? Or do we have to slaugter the team to keep him, and go back to a rebuild? ) Maybe not so bad because, that means Benning's gonna be gone. No 2. HÖGLANDER HAS TO MAKE THE TEAM. ( And he has to start punch way!!! above his wheightclass.) Forward on the cheap. No 3. PODKOLZIN HAS TO MAKE THE TEAM. ( Also he has to have the season of his life.). Forward on the cheap. Both of them needs to end up in the Calder trofy disscussion. CAN IT HAPPEN ? Yes, in my dreams, but not likeley. SO WE WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT.................. ... . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazurus Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Not with this group. This team is constructed to be in the mushy middle. No matter what fans and posters think, the math just doesn't work, players ages. Ages and that the playoffs are different than the regular season. The 5 players, Horvat (25) Boeser, Hughes, Pettersson and Demko are the core, Miller is in the lead now but in 3 years he is well into the downswing of his career. The window starts for players 22 to 25 and ends when they get around 30, with the exceptions of the superstars, even Toews, Taveras, Malkin and Stamkos are sliding quickly. Just look at the vaunted Eriksson, Benning expertise expected 30 goals seasons, instead he might get 30 goals for the whole contract, fell off a cliff, non superstars do that quite often. This team just doesn't have enough players of high quality in that age group Look at 4th liners on Vegas and even Ottawa, Tuck and Paul. Vancouver has no equivalent on the 3rd of 4th lines in youth. They drafted better The team could be built like the last Toronto cup winners, just for those years, but they sold out the future and haven't been back since or built like the Montreal, NYI, Oilers, Pitts teams that dominated for a few years, but those teams started when the players were as young as this teams are now, they were playing deep into the playoffs and had many more drafted players close to the same age. Sakic saw his team was destined to be, like this one, stuck in the mussy middle and he essentially blew it up, he kept some younger players but traded away very, very good players for what eventually became a team close in age and higher talent level. He also didn't miss on many draft picks The Canucks COULD alter this coarse IMO, but it will take a very, very good GM, good at trades, cap management and contracts without a love for each player The trade bait has to be good and to get the best core, either draft or over pay slightly. The better the team is the better the player value perceived. Even now that Juloevi has finally played in the NHL, his 10 minutes a game have improved his trade value Edited January 18, 2021 by Lazurus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now that Juloevi has finally played in the NHL, his 10 minutes a game have improved his trade value The team needs Podkolzin and Hoglander to be legit top 4 or 5 players up front. If that happens and we get a number 1 dman that can do it all, then we become contenders. Until then it's a pipe dream. We saw what the Pens, Blues and Bolts won with. So far we have nothing close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
