I took a look at the buy out calculator too. I highly doubt the Canucks want to have both OEL and Mik on the books, but if they did go that route next summer would be the time do it (2 years under 2 mill). I wonder if he gets the tough love approach this summer like Boeser did, and with a healthy ACL works his ass off. Or he just gets moved somehow someway…. Something to re-vist later for sure

This point is better suited for the off season (Canucks aint done yet) but this team is still growing. I think this video captures some of that:

My opinion of Hronek hasnt changed all year. Really good complimentary player for Hughes. The Canucks reported offer was MORE than fair and he turned it down imo. Much like how Petey was putting up points early in the year, I saw Hronek’s points kind of similar-empty. He’s a good player but Im not sure Im on the same page where he/his agent think hes at. I dont begrudge Allvin for taking a swing at him. I’d try to find a trade partner as well-maybe a younger team like CHI or OTT that are looking for players in his age range to support their younger players and have the draft assets to do it. Allvin has shown he will flip assets for what he is after.

imo regarding Petey it’s pretty simple: regular season v playoff hockey & his maturation as an athlete. He’s learning some tough lessons on where his deficiencies are. Are his wingers helping? No, but it’s pretty clear Petey is having difficulty adjusting to how physical and tight playoff hockey is. He’s not a finished product. That’s ok. Boeser went through something similar.

I hear what youre saying. Problem is Miller’s line is playing very demanding mins and is Petey good for that challenge? And I do believe even Miller/Boeser could use some speed/someone to help dig for the puck on their line. Miller is great when doesnt have to be going 100% all the time. Wild idea, but hear me out: Bleugs Miller Boeser Josh Lindy Garland Hoagie Petey Podz Aman Suter Lafferty or Bleugs Miller Boeser Josh Lindy Garland Suter Petey Hoagie Podz Aman Lafferty That 4th line could get shredded but if Aman can play solid 4th line C mins I wonder… Bleugs/Miller can switch off on C depending on the flow of play etc. Maybe capture something he had w Garland/Joshua for this series at least.

what has disappointed me is his back check. Seems like when a play goes the other way, rather than stop put your head down and try to force a turnover he just stops skating…..often. maybe he really is gassed but if that’s the case-not good.
-
I do like @PhillipBluntidea of getting Podz in. Aman has injected some energy, and I’d be very interested in seeing Hoagie/Podz on Petey’s wing can bring it too. Being at home Tocc protect them a bit too. Aman Bleugs Lafferty or Karlsson in the 4th line

unleash the RUS moose!

Yeah, so can good execution. The way I see it is EDM is gambling a bit in the O zone. When the Canucks can win battles & exit the zone w possession EDM definitely backs off. Garland’s line definitely showed that. I do think Canucks havnt shown how good they are when they are at their best. Listening to Tocc’s media avail now-battle level def an issue for him (5-6 passengers!) new day thursday
-
I dont know if it was passivity…EDM set up very aggressive in the O zone. 3 FWDs deep and D pinching. Moved their feet. Canucks couldnt break through that wall so to speak. And when they did have possession alot of flubbed passes. Probably their own worst enemy tonight. Just gotta regroup and bounce back which theyve shown they can do.

Canucks worse game this series. Good thing is they bounce back after such. Looking forward to a barn burner in VAN!!! P.s scratch Mik for Hoagie
