LOL (Love it!) - Rathbone is quick - Players are pretty excited...they have had the taste and want more - Hoglander is a confident young man, with some serious skills - A real team feel to welcome the new guys ( like that) - Deb should really get a job with the Canucks front office....I mean, really!

I think what it comes down to is that their best players aren't their best players when it matters most, probably other than Tkachuk. I do think Marky will be good, but I think he'll get quite peppered by teams who have more of that "rise to the occasion" mindset. This is going to be VERY resemblent of playoff hockey, and I think it's going to be the teams wired right that have the best chance of succeeding. However, if Geoff Ward does a good job of getting his team to play every night, then I'll be wrong and they'll finish ahead of teams like the Jets and Oilers. It might just be me, but I think the Jets are criminally underrated. I think they would have finished final-4 last playoffs had they been healthy. The Habs are another one of those teams that has that pact mentality and that I think will rise up to the occasion. My standings predictions: Canucks Canadiens Jets Leafs Oilers Flames Sens It's going to be a strange but exciting season. Injuries and probably COVID will all factor in. And hey, maybe I'm vastly overrating teams like the Habs and Jets, but that's what I'm going with. The Canucks are finishing #1 though. Book it.

And many teams looking to win and add depth will want guys like those named above. I think Sutter given his contract is up, is a Center and still can play a shutdown role will be wanted. Pearson will draw some interest too but I think we may want to hang onto him for the run, same with Benn as you always need depth (unless we have Try by then). I can see Roussel being moved too.

Nucker 67 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Podz couldn't do it himself, but the effort was there. He made smart plays/passes, took a big hit and handled himself, he'll be a beast. Could be an amazing spring if Podz joins the Canucks (later in the season). Any chance Try joins him on the flight over? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance Try joins him on the flight over? Craig Button made a comparison to Chris Kunitz today, and I like the comparison. Winger that excels with elite talent - like Alex Burrows was too. Does all the hardwork/heavy lifting but also smart enough to make plays. Think about some of the chances he created for his Russian teammates, now think about those opportunities being created for Pettersson or Boeser. Pretty good thought. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably the best one I’ve seen actually. I suggested a combo of Bo and Burr so that’s basically Landeskog! Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
