Much like our 2012 roster actually but we didn't have depth to finish, but it seems to me management is listening to Toc who likes a tough roster because he knows from experience that the post season is BRUTAL! I just read and watched this vid, omfg! YES PLEASE! Shades of Tryamkin!!! This is exactly what we need, just enough to balance us out and depth will get us a lot closer and perhaps moving ahead the dial to our window in the next 2 years but if this keeps up, it just might not just be another one and done! I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a Zadorov hit!! I live this trade! Only reason we even have to do this trade is because Tocchet can't coach a proper defensive structure. I'm sorry to say this but Zad isn't going to fix the Canucks problem. Personally I think he makes them worse. This is a move of desperation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously enjoy the aggressiveness of JR and PA to address issues immediately, and most thought JR was too old for the job while PA was just his puppet. Zipped up well now you doubters!! Canucks looking more and more like serious contenders thanks to these 2! Looks like Alvin still has his work cut out for him… After tonight They might have to move Petey and get some more toughness up front - he’s too weak or something- the guy falls down way too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, signing Bear makes it easier to move Myers. I don't see the reason so many want to sign Bear; dime a dozen d-man for almost $2m/yr; too small; too soft...what the heck? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching this team since the beginning, and I have seen dozens of great players come and go, so I don't get attached to players anymore. I get attached to Stanley Cups though, so whatever the means are to justify that outcome, so be it. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypien-Punch Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I say we off them a high draft pick for Adam Kalapka. RW who is 6'8 235 from the Czech Republic. He is almost ready for the NHL. Plays a mean game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Hronek Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 One question: With Zadorov on board now (great trade by the way), do you put a) Play Zadorov with Hughes and move Hronek down to anchor the 2nd pairing? (which would, by default, move Myers to the 3rd pairing) b) Keep Hughes and Hronek together and play Zadorov on a 2nd pairing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One look at Noah Juulsen and you can tell he wouldn't care if you spelled his name incorrectly. Did you see the hits he laid out against Vegas tonight? Guy is solid. Broskie? Well, I never.

Outstanding work without crippling us now or in the future I think Allvin has put quite a few final nails in the Benning coffin now.

Depth that you don't have to trade assets for. Also, since he's coming back from a long-term injury (and was only worth maybe $2M before that) he can probably be had for around $1M. Would you not take him over Friedman and Juulsen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope; not that I know of; that's why I asked what do people see in Bear? He would have gotten thrown around tonight against Vegas; what good is that?

Because he could be free RHD depth with no term? We will have injuries. He gives lots of flex with Myers with the deadline coming up. Myers is resign or trade or hold for a playoff push. I think you are undervaluing Bear and what he did as a Canuck. Hes is >>> then Friedman, Juulsen and you could argue Myers. He paired very well with Quinn Hughes too. There are very few RHD in the NHL that are top 6 NHL calibre and Bear is 1. Hughes-Hronek/Bear/Cole/Zadorov Its nice to have options: Hughes-Hronek Zadorov-Cole Soucy-Myers/Bear Brisebois-Bear/Myers 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did he do for the Canucks that I am undervaluing? Playing well with Quinn Hughes is like saying you got an assist playing with Gretzky though. I remember him not being able to gain the blue line, not being able to hold the blue line, and getting pushed aside quite easily. Nice guy but you know where they finish. I'd much rather have a bruiser back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is dealing with something right now and I worry its something more serious he's playing through. Hope he gains his health and strength back. When he's healthy he is pretty unstoppable. Not a player the team is going to trade though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff Tannen Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Does your opinion of the trade really need its own thread? Not a fan of the vague clickbaity title either, my fault for biting but I can't resist a mystery box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
