Maybe in the AHL, but I'll grow a 3rd nipple before he succeeds anywhere in the NHL. I hope he DOES succeed though, 'coz who needs an extra place to wash in the shower? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows we can't transition the puck out of our end effectively or at all without Hughes. I'm sure he was hoping Rathbone could be a Hughes light... And maybe he will be at some point. But that ain't the case right now... Nothing's changed on the back end from last year. And the forwards aren't coming back deep enough to support their D either. That's a serious problem... I know JR and PA said they don't want to trade draft picks but... Since they doubled down on Miller... That means winning now right?! So why not trade Garland or? And a high pick to get a decent right D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I’m not sure how you think at the NHL level 3 good dmen offset 3 less than average dmen can lead to issues defensively. We have 3 top 4 dmen and a plethora of bottom pair an 7/8th dmen. I suspect between the small cap bump, Ferland’s deal coming off the books and maybe moving Dickinson/Poolman even possibly Pearson defense help isn’t coming until the offseason. So yes I am using logic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that costs us a draft pick to win in 2022, it’s worth it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s time to enjoy a loss it’s right now. Just a slow build up. Should start to see the wins start pilling up in a couple weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfanforlife82 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) I know it's preseason but how much losing is too much for these guys. Losing season after losing season. You would think they are just done with it. It becomes all too familiar. Even preseason. They have gone through so much losing. It's been a lot for this core group. I think that's why there is panic, it's a familiar feel and tune. Everyone says take it easy but that happens every year.

Sign a 30 year old for the top line and the winning window starts now, rather than a couple years from now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way it happens is if Poolman, Dickenson are burried and move Pearson trade involving our 1st, which is steep but maybe worth it if it brings a good top D back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singing chef Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I know that many on here would like Rathbone to succeed, but he is a defenseman and his defensive play is not yet NHL standard. Decision making is suspect and needs to be simplified. At this juncture I would think his place as a regular on the NHL Canucks is up in the air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that or into the offseason at the latest. Either way sooner than later to avoid potential mess if Bo/Petey etc want to start winning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Meh.......I did not watch the game, but it is pre season, and Seattle actually iced a more veteran team than we did, plus 2 top 4 players in Wright and Benier. They only had 1 Dman that was of minor quality....... No excuses................just an preseason game...............if you want to watch it................go ahead, but the GM and Coach want to see players, and see what they can do............. I am not concerned at the least......................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
