DeNiro Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Werenski done for the season in Columbus. They all of a sudden have space to add another D. Maybe they’d take a look at Myers if the cost is cheap? Only one more season of his contract. Nyquist coming off their books and the cap going up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntrix Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 The lack of reading comprehension is off the charts at CDC today! No one said Miller is a bad player. But there’s a difference between playing for the payday of your career and playing post-payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guntrix says so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I wonder if Demko realizes the damage to our club his crappy play is causing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year is the final year of his existing contract. Some people need to get their facts straight before spouting off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you didn’t learn your lesson with Baumgartner and you doubled down on another rookie coach from the farm to handle our biggest area of weakness? The moment Shaw said he was moving on they should have been calling up John Stevens and offering him whatever he wanted. The incompetence involved in these coaching decisions is baffling. How long did it take them to realize that Shaw was in the wrong role? And then they replace him with Yeo? A guy with a horrible track record for coaching? It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone that our D and pk are struggling. Yes the personnel is an issue but there’s no way it should be this bad. That comes down to the poor coaching hires. No, the top defencemen are making mental mistakes, has nothing to do with the system. They could have the simplest play at hand and still manage to try something other than the simple play. Watch them its mental just like Demko. Both OEL and Myers (most the D) are making rookie decisions with the puck. They do not pratice the plays they make, its on them and no one else. If Yeo is getting called out because of the defensemen mental lapses why is goaltending guru Torenius not in the same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that he cares about his play is making it worse on him mentally. It's a massive mental hurdle he's trying to work himself out of. If he didn't care, it'd probably be easier to re-find his game. But every goal allowed is just compounding on the pressure he's putting on himself right now.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Odd. said: I’m hoping JT is the last guy to be mentoring Podz lol I dunno. For the last three years or so, the one consistent thing I’ve heard said about Podkolzin is that he “needs to be more selfish.” (I’m just kidding. Sure Miller didn’t look too great last game, between the turnover on the Dach goal and JT going pointless in a game when the team needed scoring from its big guns. But he’d scored 10 points in his previous 7 games, largely improved his play, and turned around a lot of the horrible underlying numbers he had to start the season. He’s not really the problem. Definitely wouldn’t make it anywhere close to my top-5 list of Canucks that I’m concerned about right now. Well, other than maybe getting him off of the PK. But as far as JT showing mentorship and taking Podkolzin under his wing to work with him pre-practice and hopefully build up his confidence, this is only a good thing and what you’d hope to see from veteran players/leaders. Especially when the team is struggling. And even more so when you have a youngster like Podz who tends to be a little too hard on himself.)

I think they would be looking for someone to at least be able to play top 4. I don’t think Rathbone is that guy. Myers has struggled but he he’s shown he can play that role at least. Depends how desperate Columbus is to stay in the fight after their huge investment in Gaudreau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBJ gets a top 4 LHD that they need, we get out of the OEL deal 3 years earlier than planned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL may be very happy to get out of this tire fire. CBJ has loaded up, getting OEL from us helps to solidify their team. Don't forget, this is the GM that gave 30 year old Gudbranson 4 mil x 4 years.
