Canucks add one piece in Dickinson - and you say the problems are so insurmountable, he can't fix it. Then Shaw, a defensive coach, is brought in. Oh, the team is so bad they can't fix it?Obviously team defense is being addressed right now. Obviously, Jim is adding around the periphery Jim also resigned Green, not a fan retained Baumer, not a fan brought back Clarke, I am a fan, I see above, someone says Dickinson "makes us hard to play against, the videos I found do not show that do you have videos of Jason Dickinson being hard to play against? Convincing John says Dickinson is one dimensional, do you have proof to say otherwise? Roussell and Beagle are one dimensional, we have a lot of that Shaw might well be a good coach, but I see a lot of comments like, "Hopefully he can convince Green to fix the defense" Is that realistic? Good coach or bad I fear Shaw will be a lone voice in a room full of (not so) old boys Jimmy McGill says, " maybe JD is not the answer to the 3c problem", so, what is he? Another warm body not quite cast right for the job at hand? Jim said "Bold moves" Is this it? or do we trade our first and second to try and scrape into the playoffs again Awalk (not a friend of mine , nor Con Johns as far as I know), says, "The Canucks are always trading future for the present" and I agree with that If we are going to trade for a 3c, trade for 2010 Brian Boyle (whoever that might be) If that is Jason Dickinson, great, if not what is the point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see he has been a head coach at some levels but what do you mean "Not a typical assistant"? and if he is not, will that gel with the current group? what do you think he brings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like Vancouver to get one more top 6 UFA so Miller can play 3rd line C with Podkolzin. Granlund is the guy for me. He has a ton of skill and can play LW or C. Granlund Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Hoglander Highmore Miller Podkolzin Motte Dickenson Lockwood MacEwan Hughes Hamonic Juolevi Myers Rathbone Bowey Brisebois Rafferty Demko Dipietro With the flat cap I wonder what the price of some of these UFA guys will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Just a silly thought. I noticed that Alec Martinez (VGK) is a UFA. He is older (34), but Schmidt and him may be familiar with each other as they both played for the Knights for a season, maybe not the same pairing, but could this help with his game? He also won a Cup with Pearson (LA) Hughes - Hamonic Martinez - Schmidt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Not sure if Dicksinson is a 3C on a true contender but he's worth a shot at this price. And even if he's not, he still improves our bottom-6 as we're pretty short on "good defensively but can still play hockey" guys.

Not very convincing John I don't know that those contracts are amazing Demko and Horvat are very good and fair Both are ultra rare Mid-loaded contracts that start low and end low but are high in the middle Are those the work of Chris Gear? I remember Lawrence Gilman getting a lot of credit for Gillis' contracts anyway those ones are good Boeser getting $7.5 in the final year could be a problem, not amazing and Motter is Motter, a 4th line oft-injured guy for $1.225 seems fair but not exceptional Motte even being in this conversation seems a little over-hyping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
