EP40/SW & 2-2nds no retention
Need a UFA or another trade to hit the floor.
Take a cap dump+ for DeBrusk?Rogowski another goal today
Nvm goal changed. No points.
Canucks haven’t made a good choice for GM til now. Team actually looks better in 2 months.
Last great GM was Superboss Pat Quinn may the big Irish RIP. He gave the team an identity with some good character BC boys & more.
MM has a long runway to grow as a HC & develop the mids & a team identity. RJ & scouts just beginning to fill the prospect pool. So far no lousy UFA signings for term. Moved out some vets in the way in MP & Hog. Only the 1st year of the regime & already seeing some thought & a plan in these early stages. Much more work lies ahead. Starting with a fine hiring of a HC for Abby.
Both signing 5 year deals. Walking into free agency.
Sign with the Canucks? Would they really want to come to a toxic market like this?
They’ll probably end up in NY or one of the Florida teams.
Toxic market toxic market maybe change your tune & it’s less toxic? Lol
All that we know is the facts as you said both walking into UFA status. For starters a team that is a contender will need the cap space. A team on the cusp is next up. Both are diehard Canuck fans growing up that at this time is the only positive for the Canucks. The rest will depend on what happens between now & then. The odds either would come here just improved with 2 darts from 1. I’m more for Celebrini than Bedard. MC the better player & CB injury prone with shoulder injuries. Not good for a young star.
If he has a breakout season in the OHL and stacks up the points, the drafting crew will look like geniuses. Same with the WJC.
The short amount of years he’s been playing hockey could possibly be hiding a ton of potential.
He’s still raw yes & plays on the PK for Team USA. Be happy if he tops out as a 3rd liner C or winger & PK specialist. Not all prospects have to be a big win as long as they at least become useful or tradable assets is fine.
I don’t buy that. Gillis started the chaos. He emptied the cupboards and gave NMC and NTCs to aging players. Remember the Kesler trade where Benning had one team to deal with only. Bieksa Hamhuis.
Then Gillis realized holy shit this team is slow and old . The blame starts with him and snowballed as each mgmt group got worse as time went on. PA and JR are the worst mgmt group ever. Not even close.
JB hands down the worst.
Idk how MM will approach the lines this season but imo DeBrusk is in the way til traded. I assume Cootes will have another good camp but should go to Abby to develop more & try to dominate. Time to feature prospects is for injury call ups or late in the season. Raty Leki Ohgren & Kudryatsev should get the opportunity to play a lot. Mancini is in the make or break category. He has to play smarter to take it to next level. For reasons of line dynamics & chemistry & opportunity my lines go something like this.
DOC EP40 Karlsson
Ohgren Rossi Boeser
DeBrusk Chytil Leki
Cotter Raty Gallagher
SassonBuium Hronek
Oleksiak Willander
DPetey Schenn
KudryatsevDemko
Lankinen
TolopiloOnce or if Demko injured Mancini called up. Platoon the bottom 4 D til one stands out. Move Leki DOC Cotter up & down the line up. Sasson only the 13th F but Gallagher will get maintenance days. The PK options look horrible but will help the tank. I expect a fast North South system & aggressive forecheck. D zone exits going to be a big challenge again.
Canucks have had the worst management and ownership for over a decade now.Even dating back to Gillis. Even though he took them to game 7 he collapsed the future. His drafting was terrible, he left the shelves empty, he handcuffed the team with full NTCs and NMCs
Time to admits this team aside from a few bright moments have been a train wreck and the ownership through it’s entire existence has stunk.
Maybe a reset and going back to square one with the Sedins and RJ will change things but with an owner that pays its GM less than a JapaDog cart vendor I am not really expecting much. I think FA is just putting lipstick on a pig.
GMMG advised a retool or a rebuild fired for it. Of course cupboard was bear from cup runs like most teams do. Naslund injured by a dirty hy by Moore hurt. Best line in hockey then. His drafting overall was probably the worst in team history. Since then it’s all on FA & every regime he has hired. Fired TL over rebuilding properly. TL hiring JB was a domino that set the team back a decade plus. JR/PA regime did ok on draft capital & UFA’s.
