Nucker 67 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I see an improved Top 6 with the addition of Hoglander and Boeser looking his best so far. I see an improvement to the Bottom 6 with Loui gone, and Gaud and Jake about to take the next step. Not to mention adding Podkolzin to the Bottom 6 down the stretch to the playoffs. I see a big improvement on D, gone are (the man o glass) Tanev and (that smallish hard worker who rarely gets rewarded) Stecher. In is Schmidt, Juolevi, Hamonic and Rathbone. Night and day. And to think the Canucks went on an impressive run last year with a team not as good IMO. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So directed shot. The thing about holding on so tightly to prior criticism is many teams were in this scenario given the flat cap. Ive criticized them for the bad contracts many times, but I see no reason not to be optimistic given what they managed to do.

To his credit he works hard, has contacts & has had some great stories. But at some point I had to stop following.

So far unable to put it together at this level, but I also have a soft spot for Bailey. Kid has ALL the tools... If he can ever figure it out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
