Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Consensus has Brock, Petey and Miller on the first line - makes utter sense. Those who want Ferland there for deterrence factor may have forgotten that Miller can chuck them as well - he's just not as feared as Ferland but may have more miles on his fists/noggin. I would like to see Pearson, Horvat...

I barely have enough time to keep up with this site, let alone others... but that's some next-level mental illness right there.

Someone should #BellLet'sTalk him.

Dude, what will you do without your arch-foil? I mean, you can try starting shit with Reef, but we all know it won’t be the same. It’ Like drinking near beer - most of the calories, but none of the fun. I’m gonna have to figure out how to lure Island Nucklehead back. Raffles just isn’t challenging ...

The plan all along was to have Markstrom mind the net untilDemko was ready for the starters job. A few things have made that scenario interesting. 1) Markstrom’s turn around, or more precisely his growing into a confident number one. 2) Demko’s flakiness. There are some concerns but I’d characteriz...

They'll be fucked with minor short term injuries and unable to call up replacements for 4-5 games.

This.

Something tells me the medical staff will be asked to be extra-cautious this season...

That’s a horrible deal for Calgary. As a Canucks fan, this is great. We avoid Lucic (even if we have to keep Loui, he’s a better player), and the Flames get slower and shittier.

Neal actually could rebound nicely in Edmonton, but Lucic is done as an effective NHL player.

Edler, Tanev and now Roussel would be best served with load management - not playing in back to back games & other special circumstances those 3 games in 4 nights type of scenarios - or whatever ridiculous scheduling. I think it depends greatly on what injury you're trying to prevent/deal with. Leo...

I'm just spit-balling here, but I'm of the opinion that Tanev should still return a 2nd rounder and a prospect at this point. The idea was to add depth, trading Tanev now doesn't make sense, particularly as Myers isn't the same type of player and Benn can't handle those kind of minutes. As for next...

Athletic has an amazing article about contract efficiency of every player. Toronto was ranked #3 best with A-. LOL

Where will they be ranked with Matthews-Marner-Tavares @ 41% of the team cap?

I’m watching Moneyball drinking cranberry, soda and vodka.

So you ran out of real booze? It’s a true sign of desperation when you’ve gotta resort to swiping the wife’s drinks.

He said if anyone wants to yak with him he’ll be at Canucks.com

lol who would?

Tough to find a worse value than Bobby Ryan.. but Eriksson fits the bill. Bobby's a legit 2nd liner here.

Canucks would make out like bandits in that deal. Sold!!

I don’t think Goldobin clears waivers. If we sign him it will be on the cheap and his occasional offensive flashes will make him an enticing reclamation project for someone. If he doesn’t fit on the team in Benning, or Green’s eyes, I’d rather they move him for something. I don't think there would ...
