Alflives Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 9 minutes ago, MattWN. said: But JR wants to compete for the playoffs. Unless you're getting JT Miller back in a trade for JT Miller, we aren't moving him. We wouldn't be trading 1st round picks for Rhonek if we were going to be taking a step back and replacing JT with Laf. It's not happening my dude. And with Kotkaniemi playing such a brilliant 200 foot (and mean) game for the Canes that dream is gone too. Damn the Canes sure played that whole JK situation well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the loss, fill his spot with Breezer/Hirose/Rathbone/someone else, and use his cap space wisely moving forward to fill other holes, such as the right side and/or 3C. You'd still need to add picks/prospects to get out of OEL. 11th overall isn't getting it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not going anywhere with his NMC. If he can play serviceable 2nd pair minutes with a better partner, we can look to shed cap elsewhere. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL costing the Canucks a 1st, 2nd and 7th and then 3 seasons later an 11th OA to get rid of him. How frigging awful would that be? Just ride him out for another two seasons already and then retain every penny you can in a trade 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably right, which is why he is here to stay. I predict he will be healthier and better next year. I'm sure Tochett had a meaningful conversation with him to end the year. Coach T doesn't leave any rocks unturned and means business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are not a playoff team then JR may not be around either... This.... If anyone expect FA hired JR/ Allvin and his 15000 chipmunks just be also rans for the next few years, think again. This team will pushing for the play offs next season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR did say he’s looking for guys coming out of their ELCs who have more upside to reach. So like Kravtsov. Kakko fits that too. Garland would do well in New York.
