OldFaithfulCap Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I need caffeine so bad, was about to seriously suggest we play more forwards and use one as a rover but then that would mean our top d would play even longer minutes and we'd get even worse.

grandmaster Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 This is probably the craziest Canucks team ever but I’m enjoying the goals and wins. We should just put out 5 forwards one day and see how that box score ends up! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed this one, looked crazy in the highlights. How was Studnicka at third line centre? 4th line outshone them. Nothing glaring, nothing amazing for studz. Too many shifts spent in their own zone, the 2nd and most of the 3rd felt like a 30 minute sharks powerplay. Then we got more charley and kuz assassinated their goalie and then kuz and pettey went 99 stockholm and exploded for the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginator Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Buying out OEL is an option.. But that Miller contract is starting to scare me. Just don't think he's worth 8M. I could see this contract being a real problem in 4-5 years. I'm just not sold on him. Hope he proves me wrong.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foot speed is turning into big problem and league getting faster. ‘Priority should be trading Miller, I think Brock as well but highest priority should be Miller on who to move from the forward lines. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is high risk high reward. So you have to take the good with the bad. He can put up the points. But it’ll come with bad drop passes / passes into the middle, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wondered a lot about his fitness and with that concern now, imagine at 35 when he starts to slow. With Miller and CG57 this team is always interesting.

He is struggling defensively and ability to drive the play this season but in terms of output, his 8M is not overpayment. He will be a force again. You don’t just lose it like that. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 We should try something new with this defence. I propose we put Hughes with Myers, Myers needs to be confined to staying in front of our net and Hughes to push forward. OEL should be dropped to the 3rd pairing. Hughes Myers Schenn Bear OEL Stillman (I prefer Burroughs but JR is meddling in this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Smashian Kassian Posted December 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2022 They shouldn't buyout OELs contract until atleast 2025. Right now he's got 4 more years, if we buy him out we are eating a cap penalty for 8. Guys become such a whipping boy ala Edler in his last few years, he's fine. 1 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offense is the real deal. Just find a replacement for Myers and Stillman already! Stillman has been fine and likely to develop into a decent bottom pairing dman 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The positive to buying him out at the end of the season would give us a minor Cap hit of 150K next season, allowing us to eat a bad contract for a 1st pick.

Then your carrying extra deadweight when you hope to be good They could just give Myers away after his 5M bonus is paid & use the money taking on a bad deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty entertaining thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
