Hughes is our only offensive D man. OEL has not been good offensively. Need to make the D more mobile and have someone else besides Hughes to put points up from the backend. Last season we had the D pinching and putting an emphasis on points and they did have more points, Quinn was also -24 and we were 31st in team defense. I'll take my Dmen leading the league 5on5 and 8th overall. Imagine if we had any semblance of pking under TG we would be tops in the pacific. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks have always had great goalies to cover up any mistakes. I dont feel too comfortable with players like Hunt or Juulsen in our lineup. We really need more depth. I agree. We need better depth no doubt It’s our top 4 that have really thrived. As well our team play. Forwards helping our D Goaltending is a huge but it only goes so far. Gibson is a good example of this the last couple years or Marky when he was here. We weren’t really a good defensive team but had great goaltending 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will look way better once Hamonic is back. That is true, because we play more aggressively on offense, back check harder and also dont sit back in a box and let the oppoaition come to us. We dont let them setup in the defensive zone and have better gap control. Bummer directed everyone to skate backwards and backoff on attacking opposition. Basically a loser strategy.

I think we would be a lot more solid on the backend imo. 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky well I knew that we were going for playoffs and would probably lose him anyway. Tanev stung 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right side of our D will be Myers, Hamonic, and Poolman next season. Can’t see how it could be any different, considering JR wants to add picks and prospects.

Letting Tanev walk was the worst roster decision of JB's tenure. Worse than signing Player Name. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning got rid of Tanev because of the injury prone excuse and he hasnt missed a shift for flames and gets paid only 4 million yet he goes out and signs "part time" Hamonic. Hope he is available before TDL so JR can trade him. He didn't get rid of tanev, Tanev left as a UFA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worth noting Bruce usually has real strong stretches right after the half way mark in a season of all teams he’s coached. When was the last time we’ve had a regulation loss? Think it might’ve been early January. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
