Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Going with the same last place defence corp the following year without making changes? Ugh. It'll be their achilles heel this year and thats on JB.

First off, I don't get the love in with Tkachuk and think he is a much easier type of player to find than a top 2/4 d man is...

Enjoyed a great day of sports yesterday going back and forth between the Yankees and Red Sox and the Whitecaps and the BC Lions and the NHL while at the same time watching the kids in Michigan and Utica on my Ipad...

As bad as the Canucks dmen look on the powerplay, you have to be excited watching Jolevi and Hughes play, especially on the power play...Jolevi in particular made some very subtle moves walking the line which made you think he has some of Pettersson's hockey IQ...

Next year Tryamkin is another year closer to having to decide if he comes back to a much different team than the one he left...

What does the team get in return for trading either Tanev or Edler or both?

I don't focus on what's in Vancouver today, I smile thinking about who will be in Vancouver over the next couple of years...

And suddenly Vancouver becomes a good option for high end free agents, especially given their cap situation..

Take care...

I like Juolevi's potential, he's going to be an NHL player and a good one. I just think that where the Canucks were in the rebuild at that draft, a true mess at the time, Tkachuk would have been the better option in rekindling the fan base. The drag wouldn't have been such the drag we've gone through but that being said, I believe that when Juolevi has evolved into a full time NHL'er we will be quite happy to have him back there. The impatient fan base and media can be quite draining when it comes to their impatience with Juolevi.

They just gotta make sure they cook the fuck outta the kids down in Utica.

Reefmeister, watch those links man. You don't see the smarts and skill there in both zones that's translatable to today's NHL?! The Keeping guy just posted stats that are an analyst's wet dream.

The only thing challenging OJ is NHL speed in decision making and NHL strength.
