With Soucy injured, Ian Cole is now the 3rd best defenseman on the team.
Let that sink in for a second.

I like it too - but looking at just the forward group in a vacuum… it was a lot better with Horvat in it
True, but our team is more balanced with Hronek, Soucy, and Cole on defense.

The new Darren Helm
He's good and all, but who the hell are we cutting from the team tonight? Joshua?

Trade #1 is one I saw on Capfriendly proposed by a CBJ fan. Trades #2 and #3 are ideas of my own.
These are all targeted at increasing the size and grit of our lineup.
Trade #1
To VAN: Peeke + Roslovic ($1.8m retained)
To CBJ: Garland + 2025 2nd round pick
No cap change for either team. Peeke slides in as Hughes' new partner. Roslovic (6'1", 200 lb, who can play center and can PK) slides into 3RW, he has 1 year left and could be resigned for a reasonable deal if he fits our roster needs. CBJ do this to upgrade offense compared to what Roslovic provides and get some futures in return for Peeke, who is an extra RD on their roster.
Trade #2
To VAN: Crouse
To ARI: Lekkerimaki + Beauvillier
Lek fits better with Arizona's age and Beau fills a roster slot in the interim (very little cap difference for either team). ARI can retain and trade Beau at TDL if they want to. VAN gets someone that can score and play top line minutes while beating the snot out of anyone that touches Petey. Crouse is signed for 4 more seasons at $4.3m.
Trade #3
To VAN: Sam Carrick
To ANA: McDonough
Again McD fits better with the Ducks age range and has potential as a goal scoring winger. Carrick is 31 and has only 1 year left on his contract. VAN gets a tough 4RW who can also fill in at 4C and can PK.
Opening Night Lineup:
Crouse Pettersson Kuzmenko
PDG Miller Boeser
Hoglander Suter Roslovic
Joshua Blueger Carrick
(Aman)
Hughes Peeke
Cole Hronek
Soucy Myers
(Wolanin McWard)
Demko (De Smith)
*Mikheyev returns as 2RW once ready, pushing PDG down the lineup, and Aman back to the minors
I'd rather just roll with Ethan Bear when he comes back instead of trading for Peeke (who I was think is a bit overrated).
I'd strongly consider your Trade idea #2 with Crouse but would AZ? They could probably get better offers for Crouse.

Tyler Madden. That name rings a bell.
Thomas Drance legit got sand in his vagina when we traded Madden for Toffoli.
Madden was the next Braden Point you see and so "giving up" on Madden was completely nonsensical!

Mike Gillis in one off season got Ehrhoff, Hamhuis, Malhotra and Torres.
I think so anyway, it's been a while, that might be spread out over 2 years
My answer as well. Nod to Quinn obviously for his Courntal, Momesso, Running, etc. moves.
I thought Benning's Bonino, Vrbata, and Ryan Miller moves in 2014 were also pretty good (at least in terms of getting us to the playoffs for 2015)

If you said Dobson I'd say yes. Pulock is a big no.
Pettersson for Horvat and Dobson.

I think the above is a 2nd round calibre team at minimum and pretty much addresses all/most our current weaknesses in my opinion (without changing its current core players).

Even one simple move makes a huge difference. It’s fun to think about!
For sure,
p.s. - I created some more ad-ins for the fantasy team above. I decided to keep our current core for the most part but added in 17 points worth of players to "round out the edges" so to speak.

Props to @Jeremy Hronek for resurrecting one of my favourite talking points. Let’s look at it another way and use the exact same chart!
You may remove anyone on the current roster and replace their value with anyone on the list. The maximum value that you can acquire by removing every player (Pettersson, Hughes, Demko and Miller) is interestingly $17.
What does our current roster look like once you’re done tinkering? Can we win the cup this year with it!?Great game my friend. :-).
My only thought is this. What if you removed Tyler Myers and simply brought in bubble Chris Tanev?
Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Beauviller
Mikheyev-Miller-Boeser
PDG-Suter-Garland
Hoglander-Bluegar-Joshua
Hughes-Tanev
Soucy-Hronek
Wolanin-Cole
Demko
DeSmith
As uncreative as this sounds, I'd probably just run with our current team and see how they do with an added Tanev. Don't get me wrong - I love Henrik, Bure, Linden, Daniel, Naslund, Bertuzzi, etc., but those guys had their hey-day for us and god bless em' for that. Put prime Tanev on our current team and then build from there. That's what I'd do!
Going a step further into fantasy however, I'd add some more leadership and grit to this team and get rid of some deadwood. Boeser's body and mind are too far gone from the game while Mikheyev is rarely healthy. Tiger Williams, Linden, Smyl, Edler, and McLean get nods from me.

He has been an excellent foot soldier for the club. Everything you could ask from a D-man that's 8/9th on the depth chart. Different players but he reminds me of Nolan Baumgartner. I hope he makes it full-time one day.
He's like our version of Rudy. I hope Brendan Gaunce makes it back here one day as well.

Your biggest complaint about the riot was two people who were causing zero harm to other people or property? Really?
They significantly contributed to the embarrassment.

Green was a good coach and wasn't the problem, glad to see how get another chance.
You can only do so much with the horses you have in the barn. It is interesting to listen to Tocchet candidly speak about how close he and Green are and how they see the game the same way and call each other about hockey regularly.
The team just hasn't had the right players to put into the right spots. It leaves coaches with few options and putting guys in positions they are likely to fail in. OEL and Myers are not a shut down, minute munching pairing... they were just the best (of a bunch of bad) options to do it. Same with Tocchet coming in saying he didn't like to see his star players on the ice so many minutes... a few games in after seeing the train wreck the rest of the roster was, he started playing the wheels off them just like Boudreau did before.
If Tocchet has more success than Green, it is because the brass are actually listening to him and trying to get players that fill holes in the roster rather than whatever random shiny object strikes their fancy at a given moment and ignoring actual team composition.
I just hope the Canucks get off to a good start this season so that you don't start making posts about how the Canucks have a 12.2% chance of making the playoffs 7 games into the season.

Jake Virtanen is an innocent man and woke angry feminists with an axe to grind after having buyers remorse following one night stands with him decided to tarnish his reputation and derail his NHL career.
Agreed. What makes this even more damaging and proof that our legal system is completely broken, is the fact that this female accuser of Jake Virtanen told a very detailed and accurate story with regards to what happened. The story had absolutely ZERO holes in it and/or contradictory statements and the facts were as clear as day. The female in question was actually forced to spend the night with Jake against her own free will. This case should have been a slam dunk guilty charge against Jake but the lawyers and the legal system clearly were on the side of Jake. Bastards. All of them.

No. Violence only begets more violence. Better to require him to serve 250 hours of service working for a Jewish operated charitable organization. The idea is to change hearts and minds, not cause further hatred. But that is just my opinion as I am a believer in restorative justice.I understand your point of view, but believe that following the above policy still wouldn't deter other criminals and delinquents from repeating similar behaviour in the future.
So in this example, let's say that there's a 50/50 chance that the shithead in question realizes the error of his ways.
What's stopping another man in an entirely different part of the country/continent from doing something similar? After all, the penalty, though harsh (i.e. school expulsion + community service) still won't install fear and respect amongst the people to the point where they TRULY respect the laws, the police, and their fellow man.
The degradation and decline of Vancouver right now is a direct result of lax penalties and laws and quite Franky, I'm tired of it. I've been tired of it since the 2011 cup riots where those two shitheads from Australia started making out on the streets. Things gotta change. Fast.

Should the female student involved also be physically beaten?
Yes. She committed a heinous hate crime against the people of Jewish faith. She absolutely deserves to have the living shit kicked out of her (by female police officers). The only way leniency should be shown in this case, is if the Jewish community, in their entirety, caused deliberate harm and suffering to this woman (and her piece of shit male accomplice). Obviously, this did not happen and so I stand by comments.

Update:
-Islanders need scoring and could probably use better wingers than Palmieri and Engvall.
-Pulock (6.1 million cap hit) has been replaced by Dobson as the Top RD.
-Kuzmenko for Pulock would make sense would it not?

Interesting that you paired Hughes and Edler despite them never really sharing the ice together IRL. Neither one of them play off-side.
Didn't Edler play on his off-side in 2011? Hughes also played on the right side quite a bit in juniors if I'm not mistaken.

Not having Sedin - Sedin - Burrows on the above teams is criminal.
Line 1 of every team should be Sedin - Sedin - Burrows
True. Would also say the same thing about Naslund-Morrison-Bertuzzi.
For the intended spirit of this game however, I encourage posters to think of new line combinations and *only* have 1st line calibre players for their 1st lines, etc. (for example, Morrison and Burrows, god bless them both, probably wouldn't be considered actual first line players, just like Steve Rucchin wouldn't actually be considered a first line player in Anaheim by virtue of having been fortunate enough to play with Selanne and Kariya).

Perhaps you'd split between on and off-ice Canucks staff, but I would say that torch has been very much passed to the one, the only, James Elmer Benning.
Yep.
I said it.
Jim Benning was not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed!..........until the 2020 post bubble off-season.
