ParticipantJust imagine having two of that type of player. I think Canucks give up too early on a lot of young first round picks. Horvat Podz Lekker. I have always been a Podz fan and I think he will just keep getting better and better. I see him becoming a Nichuskin 2.0 when all is said and done

ParticipantI was just reading the Edmonton daily face off and it was talking about Podkolzin how hard he is training. He looks slimmer faster his shot looks harder and they love him in Edmonton. If only Canucks had a young player that passionate and dedicated.
Novontny has been compared to Podz by quite a few. His size, skating, shot(although Novotny may have better), and relentless forecheck. Both players got a taste of pro early.
If Podz wasn’t Russian, most likely RT would have been more patient with him and he may still be a Canuck in the end.

ParticipantThe problem might be that other teams are only kicking tires and Canucks would need to sell 10 cents on the dollar. A team may say we will take Boeser but you would need to retain salary and we will give you a second round pick.

ParticipantRead online yesterday they’ve (management) tried to overturn the roster much more than they already have but they haven’t had a lot of success/takers thus far. More to come…
You’d think they would. Debrusk 100%, Boeser probably in there, DOC, and of course the flake.

ParticipantLet’s get rid of everyone with NMC’s automagically. After all a snap of the fingers & voila it’s done. Easy peasy.
Takes more than a rumour from a guy in a golf tourney freely talking out. That’s how toxic starts & not in the room.
Are you saying there haven’t been issues in the room for the last 10+ years? Looking forward to the spin on that!

Not sure if anyone has been watching HBO’s Hard Knocks on the Seahawks training camp. The extensive evaluation they do on players personalities is amazing. They have to feel comfortable any player they draft/sign will fit into the culture of the team, if you don’t you get squeezed out.
I don’t think the Canucks put enough work into character evaluations in the past, they just looked at the stats. That’s how you end up with flakes like Jake Virtanen, Olli Juolevi, EP40 and others.

ParticipantWell that has some scrotum fuzz on it. No idea if it is true or not.
