Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Posted Friday at 08:11 PM · Report post Trade 1:   To MTL: Edler + Hansen = 7.5 million   To VAN: Juulsen + Desharnias (cap dump) + Emelin (cap dump) + 4th Round Pick 2017 = 7.6 million   Montreal gears up for a Cup run.

I think Sergachyov will be the best defenseman from this Draft. He has all the raw skill to become an all rou...

12 guys I wouldn't mind the Canucks walking out of the Draft with.

Tyler Benson is really starting to live up to his 'Exceptional Status' billing when we drafted him. Missed the first 10 games of the season due to injury but is catching fire been on an over a point a game pace over his last dozen games. . A real good hitter with a Bo Horvat type build - 6' - 205 l...

Horvat Subban ain't getting anywhere near the NHL. A lot of talk lately of people thinking he should be demoted to the ECHL. He's really struggling at the AHL level He has the puck skills, offensive instincts and the compete level to hold his own. He's still getting used to playing against tougher ...

A center, a defenseman and a goalie. You need at least two of those to build a contender. The Blackhawks have Toews and Kieth. (and an amazing supporting cast) The Kings had Kopitar, Doughty and Quick The Bruins had Bergeron, Chara and Thomas The Penguins had Crosby and Letang/Goligoski We didn't lo...

Say we land the 3rd overall pick at the end of the year through lottery. Should we take Tkachuk or Puuljarvi? (Assuming Chychrun is not available).

I know. We should be drafting defenseman. But I was just wondering in general.

Are there any centers in this draft (besides Mathews) who have 1st line potential? Any left wingers?

Pulock ain't going nowhere, they are really high on him. The islanders have prospect depth but it's all at forward not defence especially after trading Reinhart. They have forwards - Barzal, Ho Sang, Beauvellier, Dal Colle, Strome . If anything they'd move a forward prospect like Ho Sang who is an ...

Alright, depending on how we are positioned at the deadline, I would like to see something like this happen: To NYI: Hamhuis (40% retained) Vrbata (40% retained) To VAN: Pulock 2nd Round Pick 2016 The Islanders have a decent amount of cap space, so they could afford those two as long as we retain so...

Gotta disagree with you there. We've been playing some average and below average teams on this road trip and we didn't look superior against any of them. The parody amongst the lower half teams, the group we are in with, are catching up to us. The top 4 worst teams of last year have looked as good ...

What do you guys think it would take to make a package to get a top-5 selection? Say we are trying to trade with Toronto for the 3rd overall pick?

I still don't understand why they traded O'Reilly. If it was cap issues, fine, if not they made a stupid trade. The guy is playing great in Buffalo. If Sakic wants to save himself had better fire Roy soon. I believe he's the problem I think I heard that Duchene and Roy haven't been getting along, w...
