I didn't realize Garland's points 47/50 were at even strength. Thats pretty impressive. Garland hardly played on the PP this year. Dude would have had 60+ points if he did. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Brock so I hate to say it, but it might be easier to replace Brock's scoring than Garlands if we need to move on from one of them. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize Garland's points 47/50 were at even strength. I agree JM. He may be small, but he's mighty. His energy level is through the roof and (when given a top 6 role) is consistent. Thats pretty impressive. I think Boeser will be the player that is traded; mainly due to his lack of speed.

Rabbit Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Great win! Hughes , Schenn, OEL played well. If one of Garland and Boeser will get traded, what is your selection? Martins was quite good, e specially the second period when Canucks was in penalty troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a #1 line we can go with that would be one of the best in the league. And we can fill out a very good #2 line as well if we can pick up Kuzmenko for free... Miller Pettersson Garland Podkolzin Horvat Kuzmenko I don't like Horvat as a 3C, it's a waste of his talent. We are better off loading up the top line with both Petey and Miller and having Horvat as a 2C. We can then either go out and get a 3C in free agency or trade Boeser for a 3C. I think Kuzmenko can come in and score 50+ points. He has alot of talent and I would put him together with his buddy Podkolzin for an easy transition to the NHL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do worry about him getting hurt but he might just be a 60+ point guy with top line PP time, so good value too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine scoring more points at age 33 then at age 24. Imagine scoring more points at age 36 then at age 26. JT Miller - 97 points age 29 JT Miller - 58 points age 24 Imagine scoring 97 points at age 29 and the fans want to trade you for scraps because you are too old and will be in a major decline in 3 years. When has Miller’s name ever been considered in the same category as those 3. There are many more examples of players that had one good season and disappeared than the three you highlighted. Heck,Brock as a rookie 29g today barely can scrape 20. Miller may be starting a peak and may be this good for a few more years but the fact that Stamkos was actually healthy for a year or Kane continues to do well or that the best goal scorer in NHL history continues at a high pace has no bearing on what Miller will do. Look at Brad Richardson the year after he left us and the Brad Richardson we got off wavers. Should it be assumed that one good year automatically is the new normal.

Absolutely Kuzmenko has the skill set and determination to succeed here, almost all KHL leading scorers converted well to NHL in recent years so a 50+ points is not only doable but almost a slot in. Problem is there is no way Van is the one getting this guy, this guy is covetted around the league, 25 teams reported to want him. Seeing how bad Van luck is almost impossible to hope for this guy I just don't see him coming here when so many other options are available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie. Scored over 100 33/34. Drafted 133 overall. So there lol. There are enough examples of durable guys like Miller - who kept it up into their late 30's...even early 40's as in kept playing. Gary Roberts. There is no magical line. Each player needs to be looked at individually. Heck Lidstrom benifited probably more then any other player after they changed the rules. Sakic was 37 but we don't need him as an example do we. How about Blake Wheeler? There is absolutely nothing wrong with a 5 or even 6 year deal. More then that yes trouble for sure. They have all this off season and until next years TDL to make a decision don't they. Edited April 27, 2022 by IBatch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks remain undefeated in regulation while wearing the skate jersey over the last three seasons. I would love to see the white skate jersey on Friday vs the oilers ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
