Popular Post The Arrogant Worms Posted January 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2023 https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/a-new-page-for-everyone-beauvillier-raty-ready-to-embrace-fresh-start-with-canucks/ Part of the read...... VANCOUVER — Few players in National Hockey League history have been as physiologically prepared to absorb the shock of a trade as Aatu Raty was Monday when he learned he was a Vancouver Canuck. He was at a spa. Serenity now. “We went to a spa and I actually did not have my phone on me,” the 20-year-old Finn said of his eventful excursion to Manhattan as he was being packaged by the New York Islanders in the Bo Horvat trade. “So I had so many texts and calls that I missed. Luckily my girlfriend checked the phone — she was in the spa, too — and she actually had some texts about what you're going to do in Vancouver. I was like, wait, what? Then I went to get my phone from the locker and then kind of saw what happened and I was definitely shocked. But again, I actually got really, really excited for the future. There is only so much seaweed wraps and hot stone massage can do for a person. Although he will start his time with the Canucks playing for their Abbotsford farm team, which has games Friday and Saturday in San Jose, Raty is probably the key to Vancouver’s success or failure in Monday’s blockbuster deal. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Cant remember the skating coach’s name in Abby, but him along with the rest of the development staff will be good tools for Raty to lean on. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chon derry Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 In the one interview I saw he not only knew he was going to report to Abby but showed nothing but positivity. He must be pretty confident knowing his future both in ny but seemingly much happier about it being vancity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) I just...don't care. He either works out or doesn't but all signs point to him being the 2b centre IF he reaches his potential that we needed while we had a 1-2 of Pettersson and Horvat. Won't know for years about him or the pick. Beauvelier is the real question mark. He is a UFA to end next year and his production shows how well he handles more defensively minded hard nosed coaches so we will see what effect Tocchet has on him and if he even wants to stay. Still so very meh about all of this that it is hard to even be excited or disappointed Edited January 31, 2023 by Warhippy 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I thought both Beauvillier and Raty came off pretty well in that interview. Raty's English is better than many recently-arrived Finns'. I'm glad they're going to go the developmental route with him in Abby. Beauvillier could surprise a lot of doubters, but if not, it's not a long commitment. I like his motor and think he'll help defiine the kind of game we want to play. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rawkdrummer Posted January 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2023 If Benning dealt with an unrestricted Horvat, Bo would just leave and we would get nothing. Oh and we would have to add a 2nd round pick. 2 5 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning did better with a Kesler that had a full NTC only one destination and a single year left on his contract with injury issues than Jimpat Ruthervin did with Horvat with zero of those issues and they retained 25% of his total contract meaning he is only on the Islanders books for $1.1 million. So.....potato potatoe 2 1 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Braid. Son of Dawn Braid (who is an absolute legend in the skating coach/consultant world and one of the top names on the planet at what she does). MacKenzie learned from his mom and uses her techniques. He’s fairly young at 30 but already a well-respected name in his own right and a really solid hire for the organization. Good article on the Braids from a few years ago (before the Canucks hired MacKenzie): https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/dawn-braid-mackenzie-skating-coach/?sn-amp 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Even though I'm not a fan of this trade and their returns, I certainly wish they will flourish in our organization. I really don't want to have these players end up being footnotes in our Canuck organization. It IS a big loss to lose Horvat. I'm not sure this management knows what to do next. The next trade is Schenn. Edited February 1, 2023 by Dazzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSVII Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Beau is very underrated and I'm stoked to have him on this team. Just unfortunate we let another Captain go the Isles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR might be better at what he does (in hockey) but he sure is hard to like. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.....potato potatoe Benning was able to extract more value, but it was not future focused and what futures he did get, he flipped impatiently for help in the present. So there's that difference. Of course, I'm still writing off that isles first in my mind, i fully expect us to try and trade it away for a D or a cap dump. I really want us to actually draft with it though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want us to actually draft with it though. Yup. But maybe our owner has learned his lesson with the Boudreau mess t now keep his nose out of hockey ops? Maybe he will let JR/Allvin set the direction? This Bo trade sure has the two most important pieces coming back as futures. Very much a rebuilding move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
