Nave Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Love that trade. Dickinson was a big part of the Stars' Finals run in the bubble. Don't let the -7 fool you, he was huge for Khudobin. I'm confident that his offense and faceoffs will improve with the Canucks. I bet we will resign him, as he's going into his prime. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian42 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Unpopular opinion: but I’d like to see Dickenson on the wing with beagle on the 4th line. This way you could play your 4th line against anyone at times and win a key faceoff. Dickenson played center and wing in Dallas and Vancouver could use him at center if we get an injury. The Canucks have badly needed upgrades to their bottom 6 the following lines would accomplish this: trade/UFA Petterson Boeser trade/UFA Horvat Hoglander Pearson Miller Podz Motte Beagle Dickenson highmore cap space would be an issue to fill those top two line spots and our defense. in addition to buying out Virtanen, the Canucks would need to deal Schmidt and possibly Roussel with a sweetener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pearson - Miller - Podkolzin line becomes the #1 line. Check it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they’re very agressive yes… Good news. It’s good to be in the middle of everything. Means our GM is at the table. Expecting another flurry of trades between the ED and the ED lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2021 Pearson, Dickinson and Motte on a line together might be one of the best 3rd lines in the league. Of course to do that we'd need a proper 2nd line winger to play with Bo and Hoglander, might come via trade/UFA (there's lots of speculation out there but IMO we need to focus more on defence instead of getting carried away with this Garland/Hyman chat), but Podz would be an interesting player depending on where he is in terms of his development. If he's pretty sound defensively he could add some real physical edge to that line. We know Motte has a nice scoring touch too so you never know if the 3 of them get up ice together on an odd man rush we might see some nice counter attacking goals from them too. This is where Pearson's value comes in - he can play in our top 6 and contribute 15-20 goals, but as he gets older I think he'll end up playing with Dickinson loads as a nice shutdown unit. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Höglander got the job, Podkolzin gets the job. But I think that getting another Russian on the roster could do wonders for this young man. Hopefully Zadorov doesn’t get picked by Seattle and a deal can be had with Chicago. Edited July 20, 2021 by Me_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Rumour has it Benning is looking at making a deal with Seattle for them to select Bjugstad and then trade for him. Pearson Bjugstad Podkolzin Motte Beagle Dickinson 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
