I keep hearing "well when is the right time to complain if not now?" My answer to that is give it at least a couple of years from now. We need to develop and grow as a team. Losing like this, there's a good chance it'll strengthen us for later on. If anyone seriously thinks nothing but negative about this team right now, they really need to sit down and question it, In fact, I'll tell you what. If we're still playing like this in 2 years, I'll jump on that bandwagon of "we didn't do enough". However, we need to actually be playing as bad as we are now for a looooong period of time. I’m not Impatient, I’ve been a loyal fan for over 50 years. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's his 3rd season but close enough. Why? They showed tremendous success in the bubble and now they think that this game is easier than it really is. My theory is that Green showed the team some video, a lot of video of them playing in the bubble before their last game. There's more to their woes than just this. These things are complicated but this is one of about 6 things that they can target to improve performance Hughes is in a sophomore jinx when he has a point per game average? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should make a deal with him, we will allow him to get to 1000 and give him all the ceremony stuff associated with it in exchange for him retiring right after or at least at the end of the season. Make it an ultimatum, take the deal or sit for the rest of his contract So... get one night where he's "celebrated" in exchange for sitting for $6 million (and any prorated contract for this year, plus any prepaid bonuses)... it takes a real Loui face moment to walk from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, if Green was fired tomorrow I'd be fine with it. If Green was still here in 2 years and we are playing well. I'd also be fine with that (it would mean we turned things around and Green got better). I'm not necessarily for or against things like that, I just tend to like to look more at the long term of where the team's going rather than the game to game and I think it's exciting where we're going as a team despite where we're at right now. Horvat's what? 24? He's the oldest of our core. We're going to have good offense for a long time. Now if we could shore up some defense that would be great.

Man, there is a light at the end of this tunnel, and it's bright as eff word. Never in history have we played this many games, in such a short time. So here is my take. Next year we will see Toffolli twice? Next. Hoglander looks legit. Oli looks like he can serve a purpose. JV is def done. And our Big Russian looks like he's ready to break our top 6. Would a high pick hurt us? No. There's a clear picture of who everyone is and who is expendable. Let's wash this season up to what it is. A freak show. We all watched to watch the 'nucks win. But its not the end. Canucks need a gm coach and roster changes. This current roster lacks the motor, we need more players that actually move their feet their always once step behind the opponent. We need more players like Hoglander, hope Podz is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_theRyper Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I get the Hype on Podz, but there is no guarantee that he will out perform Jake, it’s a typical grass is greener on the other side. He could easily come over and not live up to expectations. Or he could come over and score twenty goals in a season. yes, Jake has been very disappointing but he’s still chipped in a decent amount of goals in limited ice time. He could performed a millions times better with his time on the top two lines and shows a lack a drive. But let’s keep the sure thing/ real deal for Podz till he has at least a handful of games under his belt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it's a good way to purge and sell off any peaked assets and consolidate the roster and figure out what we have to work with going forward. Next season probably looks something like Miller - Petey - Brock (don't fix what's not broken) _____ - Bo - Hoglander (if TP doesn't come back this duo can still carry things) Roussel - _______ - Podkolzin? (presuming AG, JV and BS are all gone, they could maybe sign a center to help the 3rd line gel) Motte - Beagle - MacEwen (not a terrible 4th line if TM and ZM keep developing, the wingers can help drive play) _______ - Schmidt (Edler's probably done, unless he takes a big reduction in price and role) Hughes - Myers* (that's unless TM gets picked by Seattle; or bring back Benn?) Juolevi - Chatfield (maybe not as a pairing but there's good pieces to work with here) (Hopefully Hamonic can return, this blueline will need help) Demko (he'll need help if Holtby goes in ED) I would hope that somehow we get rid of Beagle, Roussel. Chatfield is AHL calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how the rest of the league is finance wise post-Covid. The reason I kept them listed was that all the guys who left (Gaudette/ Virtanen, Pearson/ Sutter/ Edler) are either younger and should still have some value, or are UFA's. $3 million for Beagle is still a lot when he's basically only good for face-offs. Unless we can attach a 4th and ship him off, losing the nearly $20 million for Edler, Sutter, Pearson, Baertschi, Spooner and Benn makes keeping these two "more" palatable since they are still serviceable for what they do and we can keep building for the future without dumping draft assets.

Doesnt hit nor fight anymore He had two big gaffs the last game but I still think Him and Sutter and Zak (few games ago) were a decent 3rd and even when he was playing with Beahle and Motte on the fourth the game before last, he wasn’t playing that bad. I had a way harder time watch Pyatt and Bernier than I do Jake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
