Good to read that Hughes and Lockwood have such good chemistry. Both are expected to sign with the Canucks when their season is done, but wait, they are on a little roll and could go deep into the Frozen Four, thus taking them out of any Canucks action this season.

Woo continues to rack up points, four assists in four games.

Rathbone is growing in stature. Starting to get more notice. could be a sleeper pick for us, in a couple of years.

Madden continuing to impress.

The future looks good, on paper.
"One can imagine Benning in the cell phone waiting area at YVR eagerly anticipating Hughes’s arrival. He might as well drive Derrick Pouliot, who Hughes would most likely replace, to the airport in the process."

I personally would make him pay for his own Uber.

Push him off the bus in East Van and leave him on the curb with his bags standing in the rain.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Dhaliwal:
NCAA Canucks update. Everyone expects Quinn Hughes to sign with the Canucks.

Don't be surprised if Will Lockwood signs as well, he is ready to turn pro.

I am told for Tyler Madden, all options are on the table and nothing ruled out in terms of signing.

I think Madden should play another year in college and get a bit stronger, but Hughes and Lockwood would be great to sign. I think Lockwood will be in the AHL "paying dues" for a season or two, but Hughes will be top four in the NHL from day one.

Ya, Tyler has great numbers in his first year but he's 5.11 and 150.

This makes me wonder if Dahlen's agent was reading the tea leaves and seeing 2 forwards coming by the end of the year that would push Dahlen further down the depth chart.

San Jose will be a harder lineup to crack than Vancouver for the near future

I’m not sure what leaves he was reading

Or, the agent read the leaves correctly, told the client who in turn told him to tell the management to trade him. Then management said 'fine' and traded his client to a worse situation for his client out of spite.

It's not like he had a NTC and could control where he was being sent.

I think SJ just wanted a boost with the barracuda.

L Karlsson is at least a couple years away, and I'm sure Thomas Gradin had some good insight on him for future use, plus he bypasses the expansion draft.

Maybe he shoulda tried to outscore Brendan fucking Gaunce before demading a callup!

One thing you can say about GMJB is that he isn't afraid to jettison a player. He seems to know what he wants.

I don't hold out much hope for Tryamkin making the team again unless he has a major shift in attitude.

Dahlen demanded a trade FROM the Canucks.

He did not demand a trade TO the Sharks.

Meh..,, the point I should have made is that Vancouver should be one of the easiest lineups in the league to crack. Is that better?
