And yet the Laffs are now placing their hopes and dreams on Jack Campbell in the net. Too bad Top goaltender Freddie is now too burned. out to carry the team anymore.:lol:

 

Can’t wait for the upcoming deep playoff run.

 

The real plan is, we don’t play Boston in round one, so maybe we’ll get to round 2 for a change. :frantic:

 

Go Leafs Go?

 

"well-equipped" =/= will make a deep run.  Reading is hard, I know.

 

Hope this helps.

As with Vesey, there is absolutely no down side to this move.  We need some capable and inexpensive forwards to cover for injuries and take them from a rival to boot.  Vesey and Boyd get to show us what they can do in the short term, and maybe as an audition for next year, when we're definitely going to need a few players making around league minimum to pay for Petey, Hughes and Demko coming off their current deals.  Maybe these guys work out and maybe they don't, but either way, these are the kind of bets you should make.

I expect the Canucks to sell a couple of pieces at the deadline.

 

I won't be shocked if some combo of Virtanen, Sutter, and Pearson is shipped out for picks and prospects. I expect the Canucks to be low key sellers... they won't sell huge pieces (obviously) but they'll probably listen to all offers to sell.

 

Canucks need cheaper depth and Boyd fits that bill to a tee.

much better than

 

Gaudette Sutter Virtanen

Perhaps, time will tell.  What's not debatable is that second bottom six is waaaaaaaayyyyyyy cheaper.

The ask starts with a 1st round pick.  Doesn’t feel like a likely move.

Even if it does start with a first round pick,

I go in on Ekholm and his proof of play vs something unknown or unproven .

This team is at a step where we can skip a beat at the draft..  and tighten up a depth in its D core .  It’s needed.
