Miller, Bo, Beagle, Sutter. It don't get much better than that. We upgraded with Garland and OEL but gave away FO%, PK, and a little grit. At least that should theoretically be easier to fix. I've been doing some hunting looking at cheaper options who aren't young up and comers ... could be a tough find. Beagle might be available David Kampf is 20th in draws taken, 56%. $1.5m Alex Wennberg 21st in draws taken, 47.3%. $4.5m Teddy Blueger 30th in draws taken, 56.2%. $2.2m Lars Eller 34th in draws taken, 51.7%. $3.5m Sean Kuraly 63rd in draws taken, 51.2%, $2.5m Luke Glendenning, 84th in draws taken, 50.4%, $1.5m Cody Eakin, 97th in draws taken, 57.6%, $2.5m Anyone we bring in would bump Dickinson (Hogs,Podz,Pearson) to the fourth line. Not the worst thing in the world but it's definitely an intricate problem. One thing I guess that should be looked at I guess is how much this deficiency is actually hurting us. What I mean is how much can you directly blame the FO% for our crap PK? It's not like we're directly drawing the puck into out net. Our basic PK just plain sucks regardless maybe. How much are we willing to part with (assets/$$), and possibly disrupt the team again? I still don't care for Dickinsons game. He reminds me of Louie Erickson floats and doesn't really engage Or score Or win FOs 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I thought Motte was close. Wasn't that the impression given in early October? I wonder what the delay is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more than Marchand, who seems more like a guy having fun with his dirty antics than a hateful ball of vile like Kadri seems to be. That throat slash did it for me. Kadri's a puke, for sure. But nobody grosses me out more than that Licker Rat-Faced Marchand. I don't know how that other player stood there and took it. Especially when he started in on the nostril. I have to say, dinosaur that I am, I would probably still be in jail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because 'some people' think Dickie isn't good enough, does not mean we trade away our great young talents; cost-controlled as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on IR at the beginning of the season. They switched it to LTIR on October 27. Don't think you can backdate it. It's 10 games minimum and 24 days.

How much are we willing to part with (assets/$$), and possibly disrupt the team again? Lammikko at 45% is pretty much league median on the PK (min 10 draws). Dickinson is 77th on 81 players ranked though. Kuraly is only 37% on the PK. Glendenning 33%. Former Canucks Beagle, Bonino, Dowd are top-12. Horvat is at 55% (18th). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is better as a winger. But you can't have two players take all your draws. Good thing this looks like a defence and centre heavy draft. Good points I agree But we need a short term fix asap Do we have options internally? Hmmm Do we have the assets and cap to go find a PK center good on the draw? Is one available? Go Canucks go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you are being rhetorical but if we don't use stats to compare players what do we use? Wins? still a stat how do you measure players if not by stats? some are more useful for certain players my eye test on JD is he is a black hole on offense and an OK defensive player and not good on face offs I'd probably need to use stats to back up that statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 The pre-game call for firing Green is almost reassuring of the continuity of CDC thought. If the Vancouver FO % is less than 50% then Green has to go! If the PK kill isn’t 90% then Green has to go. If Petey doesn’t score a PP goal but Garland does Green still has to go. If Meyers coughs the puck in the Vancouver d-zone then Green has to go. No matter how you sift this Green has to go. Maybe a bullseye on his back will help.
