I am thinking he will be on PP1 sooner than we think though... Yep my worry is that we are all going to start calling him the next Panarin On the other hand we'd all be calling him the next Shipachyov if he signed with the Oilers lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaSwede Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) We should chill with the lineups with him on the 1st line and every forward not named Bo or Petey now being on the active trade block. He's not played a second of an NHL game yet. Make him show that he makes others expendable before you make a move. Let him push someone out of the line-up. Still believe Miller is the likeliest to get dealt. Can't afford to let him walk for free after next year.

I like that he is gambling on himself cause it means, that he will be a very motivated player, which should benefit him & the Canucks - ONLY if he clicks with this roster ? But chances, are good he is a good fit and he will be given the best opportunity to succeed. It will be interesting how the Miller saga will play out cause both will be upcoming FA's and both will also be looking for (big) pay raise. "inflated stat totals" It's literally detoxifed Kane...people see skill their eyes get big. As much as players stats are inflated there's always teams who will be blinded by that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Likely 3rd line winger, perhaps some time on the 2nd P.P. Depth is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they take 2 older, more expensive versions of the 2 guys they are trading away? Lol They have soured on both players (Marino and Kapanen) - both were on the trade block all of last year. They are re-signing Malkin (almost 36 years old) They are re-signing Letang 35 years old Crosby is 34 turning 35 years old this year This is their core and they are clearly not looking to rebuild - they are looking to take a few more runs at a cup with this group that's clear by their efforts to re-sign Letang and Malkin. Therefore, if you're soured on a couple of players and you can bring players who can help you win cups and fit that 3 year window why not? and cap wise its pretty much the same Marino - 4.4 Kapenen 3.2 but RFA and will want 4+ 8.4 - 8.8 Myers 6 Pearson 3 .25 9.25 Not a material difference and easy enough to balance out or even if the Canucks retained a little.

Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted June 20, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2022 From the press release: "I have been watching Andrei since his 2014.15 season and have been impressed with his development and improvement on the ice," said Allvin. "Once the contract details are finalized, we look forward to welcoming him to the Canucks organization and helping him continue to grow as a hockey player." "We would like to thank all the teams that we met with for their time and interest," said Milstein, Gold Star Hockey CEO. "We were impressed by what the Canucks organization wants to accomplish and the winning culture they are building. Andrei felt a good connection with the management team and is looking forward to playing for Bruce Boudreau." 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mordekai Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 One thing we can't forget is JR/PA track record of winning Stanley Cups. That must be ONE of the many reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, I agree as much cause a good synergy among a group, is very fragile and as the saying goes, " one rotten apple ruins the bunch". I get it and due to human nature it can NEVER be avoided cause it seems like, it is the lizards type that tends to be the ones' that are highly motivated to climb up; and good point on the top boss, using them as a useful (but dangerous) bunch cause it is the top dog, that determines how much they can get away with. This season with the Canucks has shown, as much the importance of good & competence leadership group off the ice and it always starts at the (very) top cause Aquaman was the architect of all the regimes that has managed the Canucks...

VegasCanuck Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 So, just everyone remember, KHL only plays a 60 game season and their travel load is nothing compared to the NHL. Everything I've seen of this kid is that he has NHL level talent, IQ and hands. He's likely going to struggle with the length of season, same as many players do their first year. They start to hit the wall after Xmas. Looking forward to seeing how he does! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any GM giving him term is nuts imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
