I know a lot of people had big plans for this TDL, but imo we don't need to blow this team up, it needs some size added in. As you highlighted earlier though a certain amount of blowing up needs to be done to add size. our top 6 has Pettey, Hoglander, Garland who are all tiny. Bo and JTM are average sized at best and Pearson is decent sized though I wouldn’t call big. ‘No way to put size in our top six without doing some subtraction first. Same with cap. Podz progression will help a lot but essentially we need to move some littles to make room for bigs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he isn't out of place on THIS roster. But, if Hoglander, Sutter, or even Dickinson are healthy he isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 42 minutes ago, IBatch said: Minny isn't much different then it was when we took them down last time. Hartman and Foligno were there then, and they were the second best defensive team in the league at that time (lacked offense for sure)... I wouldn't be placing any bets we couldn't beat them in a seven game series...that said i doubt we get the chance to either. when the canucks make the playoffs we are going to be the toughest team to beat. we have the best goalie in the world good luck other teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll figure out who will form the new core in the off season and make improvements. I think the Canucks need to get bigger and faster, able to stand up to any team physically. When OEL is the go-to tough guy to jump in and save the day, there's a problem. Wouldn't that be wild if they didn't trade Bo or Miller, but these guys instead, to get tougher and meaner. Pettersson Garland Boeser I feel that Myers also needs to be traded. He makes too much and the refs just love to give him head shot penalties after legal hits. The guy is a giant, but he won't fight. The problem isn't the star players. Looking at the roster for the Wild, their 3 top FW and 2 top D are all very skilled and very small. These are the guys you need to win games. The difference with Minni, is that they have brought in big, strong and scrappy guys to support the skilled guys. Zuke and Spurs are 5'8, but they don't get the abuse that our smaller guys get. Canuck management need to change up some of the team's support players (and unload some cap space) if they want to do anything in the playoffs in the coming year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be OK with moving on from Hogs if it were part of a larger deal for a hockey trade for a bigger dman or intimidating F. I consider the core F group to be Miller, Bo, Petey and Brock, I don't see Hoglander making it up there full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 We need big and tough guys that can play though. Throwing in a goon on a top 6 line is pointless (pun intended). How many players in the league are capable of top 6 minutes, while also enforcing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Greenway Foligno and Desluarier Man that is a physical team I'm glad we had Hunt and Petan to hold them back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These winger meat hooks only need 3 things, intelligence (to make sure the other team takes at least equal penalties), speed (they're of no use if they can't get there), and a Bat-Marchand Crazy Load of Marchand-You-Up!

Not really a "top 6" but he'd be a great add for the 3rd line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think every player has to do everything well, but I think a player in the top 6 should be able to contribute offensively. Throwing a big and tough guy on to Petey's line just for the sake of protection would be a poor coaching move in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Adding a little more toughness in the the Hunt and Petan spots isn't a big ask. We've got equal more physical players on the farm. But if we're playing out the string, definitely add something there in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a "top 6" but he'd be a great add for the 3rd line. I was going through the list of forwards and Lawson Crouse sticks out. Not a big time fighter, but he's not afraid to drop em, and has the size (6'4") to hang in there. He'd cost futures though, so not sure how we would be able to get him. EDIT: Actually, trading Garland for futures, and flipping them to Arizona for Crouse would be ideal. If we could get a 1st and a prospect for Garland, I'd flip a 1st plus some more to land Crouse.

I think it would be adding some muscle to the bottom pairing and the bottom 6 that would make for a safer work environment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Crouse a center? If he is then we can move Miller for a young RSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
