That's how I felt the summer went.  

 

Any word if Studnika and Bear will suite up for tomorrow?  Sounds like Bear will 

Yup I hear you on that. 
 

Sounds like Stud is in. Bear too depending on what 3rd D pairing Bruce uses

Stud was running 3C in practice. 
 

Very interesting, considering his limited NHL games.

Nice. Hoping he grabs the bull by the horns and proves he belongs.  Doesn't need to bring a ton of offense.  Win draws at a + rate, be solid defensively, and anchor the 1st unit PK.  no pressure kid.

We have such hard time gaining the zone without Hughes.

 

I'd take OEL off the PP and put Rathbone back there. I'd reserve OEL for 5-on-5 minutes as much as possible.

 

You should watch the games then. When Hughes is out, our PP scores. When Hughes is in, our PP is terrible.

If Boeser is around 9-12 goals near xmas - I sense JR will start making calls about unloading him before TDL.    Boeser is walking on very thin ice and unless he turns it around - and soon - he'll be long gone and we'll just have to chalk him up as another in the very long list of Catastrophic wasted draft picks by 'ol Uncle Jim B.

That is no right...

Calder runner up, who's carreer was derailed by injuries. 
 

He was a decent pick at 23

hes too slow for the top 6.  if you need to tell a 25 year old to get into shape, that is a bad sign right there. 

 

Ok.  Let's do some math alright. 

 

Since Brocks joined the league, he's been injured quite a bit.  Correct?   
 

Let's start with that.   So he has missed significant time.  

 

He's played six seasons including this one.   Plus 9 games (six points i think).  So let's just do six seasons. 

 

If there are 31 teams (will leave Seattle out), that means we should have 186 top six forwards.   Correct?  

 

Now let's see where he is, strictly points over that time.

He's 69th overall, despite missing significant time, right below him as of right now is Jamie Benn.  

 

Let's do some more math.   

 

If he's 69th and 186 forwards - it puts Brock firmly in the top line territory, a little above average actually.   63 percentile.  

 

 Now let's just look at points per games played for shits and giggles.  He moves up three spots to 66 and that includes ANY nhlers, that started after him, and only played one game or more.  Guys like Kaprizov, Jason Robertson etc.    

 

Now let's look at goals per game.   Again same thing, any player who's started their career after he did ... included quite a few actually.    He's 67th.    Again firmly in the top 63% tile.  And again that doesn't include Seattle. 

 

If we dig deeper .. Even strength points, again guys that started after him, including ones who only played one season - he's 80th.    So what does that say?   He's still on average, producing like a first line player 5 x 5.   

 

It also says he's a better power play producer, but he does deserve to be viewed as a blue chip top six player since he started his career. 

Of course the eye test matters too.   Ive watched this team for a long time, and can say Brocks shot is special.   It's not like his passing can't be very good too, he's made some great primary assist plays.    We all want more for him, or should anyways.   As for his cap hit.   He's 60th highest paid ... for now.   That's going to change awfully quick before he's done this contract ... by next year 75th is my guess, by the following one 80.   A lot of these other guys who have only played a year or two are about to get paid as well.  

 

Ive has some hobby horses i liked to beat on too.  Adrian Aucion was one of them.   When he came in he certainly wasn't as reliable as others before him, Bret Hedican too (despite his speed - made some serious and often, bone-headed plays).... both guys went on to have very good careers.  

Aucion exploded and tied Orr's PP goal record during the Keenan era wasn't it?  And moved on to NYI and became a Norris candidate.   Hedican of course won a cup in CAR, both serviceable top four D's. 

 

Brock should be given some slack.  Got the worst luck ive ever seen any Canuck have...just terrible luck.  

 

GMs know about that.   And you can bet there will be some willing to take a risk on him.   Worst case is we trade him and Brett Hullesque shot comes back.   Or his career is almost over.   Doubt either that's going to happen ... still teams want guys that can put the puck in the net - and 25/25 guys have value.

Should have traded Brock at the deadline for anything. Now we have yet one more over-priced one dimensional depreciating asset.

[Gurn]

Only 5 teams to climb over to get the second wildcard spot.

You should watch the games then. When Hughes is out, our PP scores. When Hughes is in, our PP is terrible.

I did watch the games. They have been better on the PP. 

 

But it's just two games. And part of the success is the element of surprise. The other teams know what we do on the PP with Hughes; now without Hughes, they don't know what we are going to do so they were scrambling quite a bit. They will catch on if Hughes continues to stay out. 

 

Our PP being terrible with Hughes on it is more on the predictability of the coaching staff rather than on Hughes.

Ok.  Let's do some math alright. 

 

Since Brocks joined the league, he's been injured quite a bit.  Correct?   
 

Let's start with that.   So he has missed significant time.  

 

He's played six seasons including this one.   Plus 9 games (six points i think).  So let's just do six seasons. 

 

If there are 31 teams (will leave Seattle out), that means we should have 186 top six forwards.   Correct?  

 

Now let's see where he is, strictly points over that time.

He's 69th overall, despite missing significant time, right below him as of right now is Jamie Benn.  

 

Let's do some more math.   

 

If he's 69th and 186 forwards - it puts Brock firmly in the top line territory, a little above average actually.   63 percentile.  

 

 Now let's just look at points per games played for shits and giggles.  He moves up three spots to 66 and that includes ANY nhlers, that started after him, and only played one game or more.  Guys like Kaprizov, Jason Robertson etc.    

 

Now let's look at goals per game.   Again same thing, any player who's started their career after he did ... included quite a few actually.    He's 67th.    Again firmly in the top 63% tile.  And again that doesn't include Seattle. 

 

If we dig deeper .. Even strength points, again guys that started after him, including ones who only played one season - he's 80th.    So what does that say?   He's still on average, producing like a first line player 5 x 5.   

 

It also says he's a better power play producer, but he does deserve to be viewed as a blue chip top six player since he started his career. 

Of course the eye test matters too.   Ive watched this team for a long time, and can say Brocks shot is special.   It's not like his passing can't be very good too, he's made some great primary assist plays.    We all want more for him, or should anyways.   As for his cap hit.   He's 60th highest paid ... for now.   That's going to change awfully quick before he's done this contract ... by next year 75th is my guess, by the following one 80.   A lot of these other guys who have only played a year or two are about to get paid as well.  

 

Ive has some hobby horses i liked to beat on too.  Adrian Aucion was one of them.   When he came in he certainly wasn't as reliable as others before him, Bret Hedican too (despite his speed - made some serious and often, bone-headed plays).... both guys went on to have very good careers.  

Aucion exploded and tied Orr's PP goal record during the Keenan era wasn't it?  And moved on to NYI and became a Norris candidate.   Hedican of course won a cup in CAR, both serviceable top four D's. 

 

Brock should be given some slack.  Got the worst luck ive ever seen any Canuck have...just terrible luck.  

 

GMs know about that.   And you can bet there will be some willing to take a risk on him.   Worst case is we trade him and Brett Hullesque shot comes back.   Or his career is almost over.   Doubt either that's going to happen ... still teams want guys that can put the puck in the net - and 25/25 guys have value.  

I love the work you put in your post. 

 

With top 6 set, I think Boeser is on the third line to start. If he can re-discover his form and score 25 goals from the 3rd line, I think that would be something special. Only cup contenders have that sort of depth. He could also build chemistry with Podz as well and help bring Podz develop his offensive game.

 

The downside is Boeser's cap hit. With Miller on wing, we can't let Horvat walk unless the plan is to rebuild (which seems unlikely). And we should also try to re-sign Kuzmenko if we are not rebuilding as he's bringing quite a bit of skill and speed, not to mention that he is playing well with Petey and Mikheyev.

 

Then there's upgrading the defence. Myers is our #1RD. I like Myers but he should be playing a little less minutes. 

 

Even if we defer doing any major upgrade on the defence until the cap goes up to 90 mil, we need to re-sign Horvat and Kuzmenko immediately. Not quite sure where we can find the cap space as we have about 12 mil just to re-sign Horvat, Kuzmenko, Schenn (or Schenn replacement), Bear (RFA), Dermott (RFA). That is just to keep things status quo.

 

Horvat is going to ask for 7 mil now that he has the leverage with Miller on wing.

Kuz is probably going to ask minimum 4.5, maybe 5.

Bear and Dermott each will cost around 1.5 but we can trade one of them.

Schenn at 1 mil?

Miller has played two games on the wing ... nothing to be overly concerned about (yet).   Bruce is just trying to win games and get him going.    I'm pretty sure Brock ends up getting traded for a bag of pucks soon if he can't figure things out.   Unless we roll 3 lines, i can't see him doing much on a 3rd line.  

 

Edit: I personally don't feel Brocks worth a bag of pucks, just that his cap could be spent in better ways.

That is no right...

Calder runner up, who's carreer was derailed by injuries. 
 

He was a decent pick at 23

Agree! He was a very descent pick - at the time - but unfortunately, has become damaged goods and never quite recovered from being rammed into the boards a few years back and seems to have become as fragile as Sami Salo.   Not to worry though, beacause he should still return something when he's traded. Not sure what - but i don't think it'll be a straight salary dump when he's traded from the team.

I did watch the games. They have been better on the PP. 

 

But it's just two games. And part of the success is the element of surprise. The other teams know what we do on the PP with Hughes; now without Hughes, they don't know what we are going to do so they were scrambling quite a bit. They will catch on if Hughes continues to stay out. 

 

Our PP being terrible with Hughes on it is more on the predictability of the coaching staff rather than on Hughes.

 

No. The same was true last year as well.

Hughes was on the PP all season last year, wasn't he? The PP was at 23.48%, good for 9th in the league (source: https://www.covers.com/sport/hockey/nhl/statistics/team-powerplay/2021-2022).

That is 6 games. OEL was on the PP and it looked better.

It's 76 games. I'm talking about last season.

 

6 games is the number of games he played this season.

 

You didn't follow the team last season did ya?

82 games in the season minus 76 = ??. Extended period of time near the end of the season.

 

Now look at tonight, Hughes has the same predictable cute lil passes to Pettersson and Miller. Sometimes they are dumb passes with a NJD too close and then he does the same stupid behind the pass back to Hughes which leads to garbage time. 

It wasn't until the net was empty that Hughes actually started shooting the puck at the net and there was more pressure.
