As we close in on the TDL many tank teams will be trying to move players. My hope is that this year PA can execute some good deals. He has quality pieces to move. Hoping he does not wait until the last day. On the tanking end I am hoping for a #3 spot but will be happy at #5. Both SJ and ANA have strong enough teams to move above Vancouver. Really worried about MTL. They are experienced tankers and will drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a little less practice the Canucks should get better at tanking. Combine that with multi player trades and we should drop to at least #5. Would love to see a lot of 8 - 7 losses running to the TDL. This all sounds pretty mercenary but it is necessary IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in LTIR so they can't bank cap space. Unused cap space is lost in LTIR and they are in their bye-week. He makes the same salary in the AHL/NHL so it's not to save salary either. Abbotsford plays 5 games during the Canucks' bye-week - they probably wanted to send him down to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I predict Lane gets 8 goals to finish the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 With Mikheyev injured, I think Tocchet will put a grinder on Petey's wing with Kuzmenko. Maybe we'll see Garland there but he seems to like his NHL 04 chemistry lines with a grinder, playmaker and scorer. Worked well in a couple of the 3 games he's coached. Joshua - Petey - Kuzmenko Dries - Horvat - Boeser Garland - Miller - Studnicka Hoglander - Lazar - Aman We're going to have to bring up a couple of forwards to replace Mikheyev and Pederson anyway.

That is assuming Bo and or others get moved for multiple pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
