Matty Barzal has 12 goals in 51 games and his career total is 103 goals in 413 games. AB could probably score 20 or so in a Canuck uni. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(seriously?) That is less than half value for Horvat imo Horvat wanted 8 million which means he doesn't want to be a Canuck. RNH signed for 5.1 million because he wants to be an Oiler. 1 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest mistake was not realizing how dumb this management group is. Three years ago I was a lone island wanting boeser gone, last year I was one of few who knew how bad not moving miller would be and that it would be the end of horvat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 2 minutes ago, stawns said: You don't know that, at all. They could sink below 12 this year and come back strong next year. Lam bent Allvin right over Based on what? Look at capfriendly. Tell me how they are gonna improve this garbage roster with no cap. They don't have a bunch of young guys poised to break out. Their best prospect we just took. That 12th overall guy sure as sh*t isn't moving the needle for them. So again, if they were so bad this year they are drafting 12th overall. And for reference, that is with them having Bo for 3 months. They are magically gonna get better after losing Mayfield? But the team, with Horvat drafted top 12. A worse roster is magically gonna come back strong on the back of what? Cause it suits your gotta be grumpy narrative. They could sink and come back strong next year. Lets play the what-if game. Raty breaks out next year and easily replaces Bo and we're the President Trophy team. See how easy it is and how stupid it sounds? Or Beauvillier finds chemistry with Miller and becomes a 50 point guy. I love imaginary unrealistic scenarios. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fanfor42 Posted January 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2023 Bo was here 9 years and we won nothing and were treading water and/or sinking the last couple of years. Trade was needed. Time to change it up. Decent return and the start of a new chapter. I have no problem with it. 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 2 minutes ago, RWJC said: Offseason when the teams who load up for their playoff runs have to shed cap…? Let’s hope so anyway because the top UFA option for Dmen this upcoming offseason are projected to be Dumba or Gostisbehere. No thank you to both I like Mayfield or Jensen as short term solutions there. Neither should require crazy $ or term. Unfortunately our long term Hughes partner is not likely to fixed with a magic wand. Though a +/- 15 pick this year has a half decent chance of doing so in a couple years... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have come to expect the least out of this management and ownership so not surprised. It is possible Larkin, O'Reilly, maybe more get added to the market though. That would lower Bo's value.

Warhippy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 3 minutes ago, Neutral said: Yes he did: 2017-18 New York Islanders NHL 71 21 15 36 AB scored 21g in his 2nd NHL season and has 2 18g and 1 15g season all while being 25yrs old. Not terribly production for a late 1st round pick. Blows the Gaunce, White, Jensen, Shinkaruk etc of the world that the Canucks select... Ya I just saw that he did in essentially his second year. Not worried now, we have perennial 90+ point player Miller on the team for 8 more years so all is well. That's what we're doing now right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV's Coin Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 11 minutes ago, johngould21 said: Could someone please explain "protected" 1st round pick? I keep seeing conflicting comments in this thread. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but if the Isles end up drafting between #1 and #12 this year then they keep the pick this year and we get their unconditional pick next year. So this year if we get their pick it would be between #13 and #32 but likely between #13 and #20. we cant do better than #13 this year. If we get their pick next year it could be #1 or #32 depending on how the Isles finish next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows what would have been in 3, 4, 5 weeks as standings change and teams watch other teams load up. There was potential for a serious arms race in the east and now the Canucks just sit and watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 7 minutes ago, Warhippy said: He's one year where he scored 20+ goals. Miller therefore is a consistent 90+ point player? Sure, also 18 in 68 games (21 goal pace) & 15 in 47 (26 goal pace) plus a 25 goal pace in the playoffs. I'm not saying he's a sure thing just that he's shown ability to score on top of providing elements we need. Maybe it won't work but I don't hate the gamble given the term on his deal.
