-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 This is just a prediction. Thrive: Garland Lazar Lockwood Mikheyev Studnicka Burroughs Schenn Struggle: Boeser Kuzmenko Miller OEL The rest are question marks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If he can keep a lid on spazzatron's antics, I'll be happy. Seeing that goof get into public altercations with teammates is tiresome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trebreh Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 It's pretty cool seeing these guys in Canuck colours. I know I hated Foote so much growing up in his time with the Avs lol. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Im looking at the org and coaching staff as a whole Benefit: Podz - Tocchet type player Lockwood -potential PK specialist Studnicka - will be given every opportunity to showcase his speed and grit. Petey - id put him in this list no matter who the coach is Boeser - hear me out here. imagine the common Brock situation where he goes into a corner, gives the d man a gentle swipe, 10 seconds later the whistle blows and he has a laugh with the d man and the opposing goalie in the crease. Brock goes into dressing room where Tocchet and Foote are waiting and they tear a strip off him. I think those two guys can grill the friendliness out of brock. Have a hard time: Miller - lots of head clashes coming up. Tocchet doesnt seem like the type of guy that will tolerate the melt downs and how Miller gives up on plays. Myers - I dont think Myers is physically or mentally capable of playing a top 4 role and this will lead to issues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 What kinds of players will they be targeting? Will they go after Fabian Lysell like some think? Does he play a gritty game? Or a guy like Newhook? Or are players like this on the smallish side for their liking? I heard Dhaliwal mention Carlo today. Would love for the Canucks to get bigger and tougher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Horvat probably benefits the most in terms on deployment and reliability. I can see Tocchet relying on him a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dirtbag is worse than Keenan and the team has too much character to give him any respect.

Listen, Sanguinetti was NOT an AHL dman He is by far the most underappreciated and underrated defenseman in Canucks HISTORY He put up points like nobodys business, and probably should have been on our top pairing. He got marginalized by incompetent management. I am not Desi 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Garland did not work well with Boudreau, so maybe he'll be better with Tocchet for some reason. Aside from that, I'd guess maybe defensive-minded players might get more ice time and thrive. Unfortunately, I expect a one-dimensional nice guy like Boeser will struggle with an old school tough guy like Tocchet. Myers should do well.

When "Titties" was here, he said (on miked up) You and me Brock, we're the only Beauties on this team." I know, the Beauty League etc, but I don't like this type of stuff as time goes on; leave it behind, or for the summer; like then Toffoli went to Calgary and there was another soft check, etc. I don't like that shit on the ice. In fact, I don't really like any of it off the ice during the season and (dare I say it) the playoffs either. Brock is definitely under the gun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland said himself he's excited since Tocchett was huge in him breaking into the NHL and finding success. So ya expecting a big bump in Garlands trade value and playoff not by the year end then next season if he's still a Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I want to see how Miller performs. Whether we like it or not, he’s going to be here for the next 5-7 years and will be playing center. He’s going to have to take on Horvat duties and he’s going to need to elevate his play. Unless we somehow get Bedard, he will also most likely be the next captain. It will be interesting to see how Miller takes on the added responsibility once Horvat is officially traded. Guys are going to lean on him for support, he’s going to have to be that guy for them. I have my doubts though. He doesn’t have to be likeable but he sure as hell needs to be bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Boeser has played a little more gritty this season, he seems to skate hard to retrieve pucks (still doesn't battle all that well though), but his offensive production has fallen off big time. I'm okay if Boeser doesn't score 30+ goals. If he can pot 25 and play a gritty, fast game, then I'd be happy with that.
