Devron Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 1 minute ago, T.Demko said: This team can compete for a playoff clinch, but it isn't built as a cup contender. There is a very big difference between the two. Setting ourselves up for 2-3 years down the road, and retooling so we can try to make the playoffs every year also has a vast difference. We've seen what the latter does for the past decade, how much more do we need to experiment? The difference here is there is new management and actually have players to re-tool with. We had nothing to play with for re-tooling in the JB era but we tried anyway. Big difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need your goaltender to stand on his head every night in order to have a chance of winning you're not a very good team. He's covered a lot of warts and flaws for this team this season due to his play, and it's all rather apparent when he's anything less than spectacular. Yeah our defense is garbage to be honest. I think I want a mulligan on that OEL deal. Other than Hughes and Schenn I’d look at moving everyone else. Unfortunately nobody is going to take OEL. He doesn’t play Boudreau type of hockey. I could see Dermott playing ahead of him to be honest. At least he has some wheels. I’d look to move Myers tomorrow and get that $6 million off the books. That would allow us to free up a lot of cap space and make that OEL contract more manageable.

Bure_of_94 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I think these last couple losses result with one or two of Boeser, Horvat, Garland, Miller or Myers being traded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the few players that played really well the first half of the season. He has it in him I don’t doubt it. Myers is no longer a fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny in Vancouver Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Maybe it's time for management to acquiesce to the Canucks' players requests and bring up Lockwood from Abbotsford? I keep hearing his name being mentioned: "it's all about Will"; "we need to have Will"; etc. Edited March 21, 2022 by Vinny in Vancouver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the only way to make it manageable for that contract is to find him a stud partner. Myers needs to go. If we can get OEL a stud partner who can cover his defensive issues then at least we can try and make it work. Myers is not reliable enough in his own end which is why he can’t play with Hughes. I don’t think he can play with OEL either. And he shouldn’t be on the 3rd pairing for $6 million. I’d try hard to move him.

He’s needed by this team for this push so likely can’t take any maintenance days. Just don’t think he’d fall off this fast (but I could totally be wrong) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Canucks have been trying to fit a square peg into a round hole year after year. Bo is a very good 2nd/3rd line centerman who's good with faceoffs and has decent offensive skills. He can score in pp and plays well along the boards, but doesn't have what it takes to match up against & shut down the other team's top lines. The team hasn't been able to find a true defensive center who can free Bo from the unfitting role, including Dickinson this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is we are going to need one here real quick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had nothing to play with for re-tooling in the JB era but we tried anyway. Big difference. Not really. That is a very big facade. We have too much anchor to make any big changes to get on par with the top dogs, nor do we have enough future to mortgage for a proper retool, nor do we have a strong enough core to say &^@# it and go all in the next 2 years. Yes, we have some very good core to build around, but we are still 2 to 3 years away, minimum. We can absolutely be patient and let our players reach that point, while naturally letting the bad contracts expire. We can trade current assets that does not fit that timeline to bolster our lineup when we're ready to compete. However, as fickle as this fan base is, there is always a demand for playoff hockey year in year out. We continously sacrifice stability of our future for a mediocre product that may or may not work now. If we're real fans of the team, what's 2 or 3 years of patience? It is time to stop building a team to clinch a playoff birth and properly build a team that can actually win it all, especially because we have the right core to do so. Stop mortgaging our future for mediocrity. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
