  1. 1. Who won't be with the Canucks next year even if they win the Stanley Cup this year (multiple selections allowed). Comments are just my thoughts, pick player and add your own in comments below.

    • Sam Lafferty - yes great add, but that is the rub, will cost too much to resign plus Podz could fill his role and earn a nice contract the following year
      6
    • Ian Cole - solid pickup, but too old now which is why was signed for only 1 year, that and McWard or Pettersson could possbily step up.
      19
    • Mark Friedman - another solid pickup but young-uns in Abby can fill his spot
      29
    • Tylers Myers - unless he signs for $1.5M or less. Myer's cap hit will be used to give Big Zeke, Honker and perhaps Petey raises
      44
    • Elias Pettersson - he will want north of $11M per year and Canucks will get a bushel full of picks / prospects / players for him instead as that is too rich for Canucks now

    • ... stop it with the Smoked Whiskey dear author, Petey stays ... see my comments below for my thoughts.

  2. 2. Is This Year's Team Better than the 2011 Team that went to the SCF BABY!!

    • Fuck Ya and suck it CanuckFanF ... ahh, ahem
      9
    • No, the 2011 team was deeper, faster and gosh darn it, everyone loved that team - even the TO Fans
      18
    • Ask me at the 60 game mark, if team maintains this torrid pace then yes
      14
    • No, we are a Kesler and a Bieksa away from truly entering into that level of stratosphere
      17
    • Yes, but only if we jettison Myers, use the cap space to get a Selke caliber forward and one of the young guns in Abby steps up as the next Bobby (well better than Myers at least)
      5
    • ... come on, are you serious ... see my comment below

So, watching the team now that they got their legs going in the 2nd period and our defensive pairings, assuming we don't have other defensive injuries between now and Soucy coming back, I'm going to be sorry to see Juulsen drop to the 7D position. He's continuing to improve the more he plays and I think we're starting to see that draft projection re-emerge.

 

I hope they keep dressing him at least as a 7D and giving him alternating minutes during the game to keep our D fresh.

 

Hughes / Hronek (24 min per night)

Soucy / Cole (18 min per night)

Zadorov / Myers (18 min per night)

Juulsen (8 - 10 min per night relief across bottom 2 pairings)

 

That's a pretty solid defenses with a lot of size and weight across our bottom 2 pairings to grind opposition forwards.
