[PGT]Round 2, Game 7 - Canucks vs Oilers - May 20th, 2024
Goose replied to MikeyD's topic in Canucks Talk
I hope Tocchett/mgmt message going into the off season is “who are we (to think we’re anything)?” Yeah theyve made big strides, but to get to the next level its going to take a lot of willpower. imo that’s the mindset they need to harness as much as possible. -
Injuries can happen even if you load manage. Load management is to make sure he’s not fatigued and yes you are more prone to injuries if youre fatigued but IMO Demko/Clark have a strong pulse on that. Lets not simply infer Thatcher’s injury resulted from playing time. But if Silovs is back up he can definitely provide a good amount of games which would be good for his development and Demko’s game load.

I wonder what will happen w Boeser? He’s a guy I could see trying to make it work in VAN, but if his $ ask is too high it would be better to move him before heading into the season. Possible ufa replacement: Toffoli Ive been biting my lip during the playoffs but Hronek is gonzo unless he dramatically lowers his $ ask. Nowhere near the type of impact player he seems to think he is. Possible ufa replacement: Tanev Lafferty: just not hungry/impactful enough Replacement: Podzy PDG: love the guy. I’d strongly consider having him in the mix as a 13th forward, spot placement given how reliable and just a good person to have around (especially for younger guys) Replacement: Bains, Karlsson Lindholm: love the player, but at his age Im not sure the Canucks should swing for him. He’s a top 6 C and the Canucks already have Miller/Petey who need to perform in those roles. Replacement: re-sign Bleugar (perfect utility 3C and I think will continue to play well) Joshua: like the player, but I really dont think the Canucks need to overpay to keep him. He’s got a good thing going here but if he wants to chase as much $ as he can get-more power to him. IMO Garland is the guy that stirs the drink and while Joshua is good, Garly deserves most of credit for how the line performs. Replacement: have to hope Bains, Karlsson can develop into offensive contributors like Joshua did Mikheyev: if they cant trade him, have to hope he can train properly this summer and bounce back Big Z: I love the swagger he brings. He leads the wolfpack no doubt and the team really benefits from it. Truly curious what his drawn in the line contract ask is. Possible replacement: Brendon Dillon Canucks have a lot of internal options imo. Podz, Bains, Karlsson, Sasson. They arnt the sexy names but they are definitely the group of internal and hopefully hungry players that can inject some energy into the line up. Going back to Boeser, top 6 needs a couple of wingers. Hoagie and Boeser if they stay put work but some extra offensive punch would help immensely. But they cant be soft either. Both Petey and Miller need an extra winger who can win battles/leading to more o zone possession. Gonna be an interesting off season for sure. PA/JR will have a lot of eyes on them.
