Especially 3 goals per!

Hey you're right, the team has held the opposition to 1.5 goals per game over the last four and have won each game!SKYO wrote:The proof of the pudding,
Very astute. Have you considered working for TSN, Sportsnet, or CBC? You're already more insightful than Kevin Weekes and Glenn Healy.dbr wrote:I think if the team gets better at defense and offense they will be really tough to beat.
One interesting thing to note from this thread:SKYO wrote:high octane offense beats out best defense today (Blackhawks over Kings), so that settles it Canucks need a top 6 winger for improved offense.
Chicago has a high octane offense, but they know how to tighten up defensively when it becomes necessary. Check out their play during the finals last year.SKYO wrote:high octane offense beats out best defense today (Blackhawks over Kings), so that settles it Canucks need a top 6 winger for improved offense.
Against the more elite teams, I'd still like to see them be tighter defensively on a consistent basis.sagebrush wrote:The Canucks defense has been improving since the Nashville game.
The game where Edler was injured.
Yup and just as DBR says the team has got to...The Brown Knight wrote:Chicago has a high octane offense, but they know how to tighten up defensively when it becomes necessary.

Don't let their relatively high GA this year fool you.
Thanks to our deep defense and top 10 goaltending, team can go out and try to land a scorer/sniper to help get a better killer instinct in the final minutes of a game/OT.dbr wrote:I think if the team gets better at defense and offense they will be really tough to beat.
I'm all for adding a Top 6 forward as long as we don't move a defenseman to obtain said Top 6 Forward.SKYO wrote:Thanks to our deep defense and top 10 goaltending, team can go out and try to land a scorer/sniper to help get a better killer instinct in the final minutes of a game/OT.

The risk of being susceptible to a depleted defensive corps due to injury, far outweighs the benefits of adding a Top 6 Forward in my opinion.
If the Canucks are hell bent on moving a Top 4 d-man like Edler however, I'd much rather see them package Edler with draft picks and prospects to get a guy like Shea Weber.
If Vancouver wanted to run a 22 man roster and have almost no cap space it could be done. It would be smarter to make that trade at the deadline as there would be room for another forward.Hockey Widow wrote:The Brown Knight wrote:I'm all for adding a Top 6 forward as long as we don't move a defenseman to obtain said Top 6 Forward.SKYO wrote:Thanks to our deep defense and top 10 goaltending, team can go out and try to land a scorer/sniper to help get a better killer instinct in the final minutes of a game/OT.

We couldn't fit Weber under our cap with just trading Edler from the team. Going for a guy like him before the cap goes up and we have to lose a ton of coin first, or in the trade which would deplete us even further up front.
Edler for a goal scorer and bottom 5-6 stay at home D man
