am i the only one who wants at least one hard to play against wingers on each line? right now we have lafferty, joshua and diguiseppe. we also have a couple of small scrappy wingers in hoglander and garland. these players also have to be strong defensive players too. most successful lines have, a scorer, a playmaker and a strong defensive player that is harder to play against. the sedins had burrows; west coast express had bertuzzi; gradin and smyl had fraser, even gretzky and kurri has semenko. imo, we need one more top 6 winger like that. personally i like diguiseppe with miller and boeser. he gives the other two, more freedom and courage to do what they do best. -
so would the canucks. will one fit under the tree?

it isn't for me to rationalize moves. i just mention possibilities. gm's make decisions. ask them.

maybe a trade to chicago for a first rounder and enough cap space to get a good rh defenseman .

I hate to be a "Debbie downer" but I still think our current record is inflated. We aren't at our 2010-2012 levels just yet. Those 2010-2012 teams held huge territorial advantages when our top lines were on the ice. Thomas Drance the other day pointed out that we actually hold a territorial *dis*advantage when our top lines have been on the ice, 5 on 5. That, combined with an unusually high shooting percentage, complemented by our over-reliance on the power play, as well as our over-dependance on our top players (Pettersson, Hughes, Miller, Hronek, Boeser, and Demko), and I'm not sure we are quite there yet.
At best, this is our 2008/09 team......and realistically, we might be a more exceptional version of our 2006-2007 team and/or are 2014-2015 team. 2013 might also be a valid comparison.
My ultimate point being that I don't expect us to be with Vegas and Boston all season long. Will gladly eat my uncle's shit with corn in it if I am proven wrong.

where does, bains, karlsson and aman fit into this team in the future?

when the whl canucks played before the nhl came to vancouver, both andy bathgate and larry popein who played there, lived in our neighborhood. in the summer they played on a baseball team. they used to practice on a park across the street from our house. they use to let us young teens shag balls during their practice. two great guys. never thought to get autographs. the moral here is, if your shagging flies for a future super star, get an autograph.
-
were you a fan of the whl and pchl canucks too? nice to see some over sixty members. in another 20 years, you'll have caught up to me. happy birthday, anniversary and longevity. maybe the canucks will give you a nice gift.

if petey scores 1 point tonight and quinn and jt get 3 points each, we would have 3 players tied for the league lead in points. gcg
