Could be a slight injury?

No word on an injury. Not a good sign to have completely gone cold the way he has. Look at similar style WHL player Nolan Patrick who put up great numbers even in the season prior to his draft year season and then look at how Patrick is struggling in the NHL. Hell I’d say that even Michael Rasmussen is a better player than Patrick is right now but that could change. Anyhow not so sure how much worth the not so dynamic big power forward centres have in today’s game anymore.

I do like Dylan Cozens who is on fire right now but he plays a more energy style game than Dach who plays a slowed down calmer game.

Could help Dach drop a bit to us.

Season ends now we end up with the 14th best odds in winning the lottery. Draft Soderstrom - Right handed D-man. Swedes do well in Van, or draft someone out of the USHL or NCAA. The Canucks have been hitting it there lately:

Boeser
Hughes
Gaudette
Madden
Lockwood
Rathbone
Thiessen

I think your math is suspect. Do these other teams eventually get to play those three or four games in hand?


Ratbones wasn’t drafted out of the USHL and neither was Thiessen

Of the 5 teams in contention for the 2 final WC wildcard spots only vancouver (7-2-1) and Edmonton (5-4-1) have a winning record. Anaheim is playing .500 hockey (Toppers favourite). Dallas 1 point ahead of us is 4-6 over last 10 games and Minny is 3-6-1 over last 10 games. The next behind Minny (St.Lou) is too far back point wise so don’t matter how many games they have in hand. So factoring in that the canucks have the best record of the 5 teams in contention for the final two wild card spots I’d say the math looks very good in our favour. You can’t stop the Canuck freight train, Bubbles!!! 1-2 years is here! Draft RHD Soderstrom!!
