[PROPOSAL] I think I found our new 2C
Jeremy Hronek replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Monahan is washed imo. Buddy belongs at Neverland Ranch. I agree with you on Lindholm but I don’t think Calgary will be sellers until the deadline at the earliest (and if they are completely out of contention). I think Lindholm as a rental (ie this year’s version of what Tyler Toffoli was for us in 2020) might be a decent idea. -
PGT - Vancouver at New Jersey - 01/06/24
Jeremy Hronek replied to PhillipBlunt's topic in Canucks Talk
With our new possible Top 6: Miller-Pettersson-Boeser Joshua-Bluegar-Garland Barring a trade, I could see a duo of Mikheyev-Suter creating the makings of an excellent shut down line. Both Mikheyev and Suter are known for their tremendous defensive play and aren't exactly slouches offensively. Miller-Pettersson-Boeser (Lotto line) Joshua-Bluegar-Garland (Scoring line two) Mikheyev-Suter-PDG (shut down line) Hoglander-Lafferty-Kuzmenko (energy line). -

Devil revealed (this thread reminded me of that M Shamalyn movie from 2010 when the old lady was revealed as The Devil. Legit scared the monkey piss out of me. Anyways.....sorry, thought I'd share. Nice to see the boys finally get a win here. -
The 2022/2023 season stats seems to indicate that Kuzmenko's "dip" in play this season might have more to do with the following: -Unsustainably high shooting percentage -Not being in shape As opposed to Kuzmenko not being a good fit for Tocchet's system. Based on Kuzmenko's performance last season under Tocchet, there was no dip whatsoever in AK's performance. In fact, he might have actually played even better. Kuzmenko's 2022-2023 season output: 39G + 35A = 74P (81 games) Kuzmenko's production when Tocchet took over last season: 20G + 13A = 33P (36 games) https://www.espn.com/nhl/player/gamelog/_/id/5077308/year/2023

[PROPOSAL] I think I found our new 2C
Jeremy Hronek replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Great idea and I almost completely agree with it. Just a few things: 1. As Alflives pointed out, Petey should be the centre on this line (with Miller taking winger draws). 2. I'd keep Podkolzin cooking in the A. Put PDG on that LW. Miller Pettersson Boeser Kuzmenko Wennberg Mikheyev Joshua Blueger Garland PDG. Suter Lafferty Aman -
Agreed on all accounts. With the presence of Lindholm under this scenario, you could re-unite the lotto line as well. As far as Myers goes, I might be open to moving him when Soucy returns because Juulsen has proven that he can play in that #6 spot. Hughes-Hronek Zadorov-Soucy Cole-Juulsen Friedman Not sure if I want to move Garland because his line with Bluegar and Joshua is arguably the best thing that we have going for us.

RUMOUR Kuz for Crouse +2nd
Jeremy Hronek replied to D.B Cooper's topic in Trades, Rumours, and Signings
I would but AZ wouldn't. The guy who created that rumour was born in 5 months. -
All interesting scenarios for sure but the Canucks should only move Petey as an absolute last resort imo since trading him during the season (or at any point) would cause too many shockwaves (and likely distract the team from what has been a very good season). I like the idea of “Tyler Toffoli part II” with Elias Lindholm but that’s just me. ps - I’m going into EA sports territory here but do you think a guy like Joel Eriksson EK could be had?
-
Fair enough. I was just looking at his overall stats for the season and they seem really underwhelming. While Kuzmenko has looked like Caitlyn Jenner throughout large parts of the season, he still has 19 points in 32 games........and this is with 5 healthy scratches, and 4th line minutes in Michael Jackson's fun house. And all of this under a system that clearly isn't suited to Kuzmenko's game. I guess what I'm getting at, is that I don't think this is a proposal in which Martin St. Louis automatically dunks the phone. But I could be wrong.

[Proposal] Elias Pettersson traded to the East Coast
Jeremy Hronek replied to HKSR's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Replace Thompson with Cozens... -
To Canucks: Josh Anderson To Montreal: Andrei Kuzmenko Yes we've been down this road before on here but I'm going to bring it up again. Kuzmenko for Anderson. Both players get a much needed change of scenery. Kuzmenko has a higher point total than Anderson but Anderson is bigger and more physical. The exact same cap hit. Seems like an even trade off to me. Tocchet gets his power forward up front that can play with Petey while Kuzmenko goes to a more laissez-faire system where it may not always be necessary to blow other men into the boards on the forecheck. I brought up this proposal in another thread about a month ago but backed off on it because Josh Anderson was starting to heat up. A month later however, and I think it's apparent that both players need a change of scenery. Mikheyev-Pettersson-Anderson Hoglander-Miller-Boeser Joshua-Bluegar-Garland PDG-Suter-Lafferty Hughes-Hronek Zadorov-Soucy Cole-Soucy Demko DeSmith

Who was Petey's linemate last year? What was his name? Russian guy? Last name started with K? Whoever he was, we could sure use that guy right about now. Maybe he helps Petey get going again?

I know what you mean, but don't you think it's.....limiting? Self-sabotaging? Again, I use the 1994 Pavel Bure and 1996 Alex Mogilny examples. If one of those guys were available and signed with the Canucks, would it make sense for the coaching staff to cater to their strengths, or would it make more sense to pigeon hole them into a rigid system that may or may not suit their style? Going into big picture mode, our overly rigid system might deter certain types of UFA's wanting to sign here if they feel that their style of play won't mesh well. "Heeeeeey! William Nylander wants to play in Vancouver! Nope. He can take a walk. He ain't willing to "go the dirty areas" and "blow other men into the boards after getting in on the forecheck. Pass!"

:::::1996 Alex Mogilny signs with the current Canucks::::: Rick Tocchet: Hey Alex - we need you to play a hard-nosed north-south game. None of this fancy "mumbo jumbo stick handling crap." If you're not getting in on the forecheck and blowing other men into the boards, then you're gonna have a date with Adam Foote in the press box."
