Popular Post Jaimito Posted December 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2023 Nux 3 pts back of Vegas with same number games played. The difference was that head to head game. That's pretty impressive how nux can keep pace with defending cup champs. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mando27 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Pretty amusing how well Joshua and Garland have been together. I remember they had a scuffle during training camp, the two of them must of bonded more after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 9 hours ago, Goal_thecup said: Garland has a few strikes against him that make me want to trade him, and even quicker now that he is showing well. 1. Obviously one of the smallest tykes in the league and size does matter unless you are a phenom like Hughes or St Louis etc and Garland is not. 2. He has no shot. He could have had 7 or 8 goals over the last 2 games and muffed every one into the chest of the goalie or other easy parry. 3. He cannot crack the top 6 and earns a buck less than $5m/yr for this and 2 more years...Yikes! 3 strikes you're out, imo; can't wait to see what we get for the feisty lil f-er. (No retention.) I admit this is a good argument and you might be right. Garland does not have a good shot and his cap hit is too high for a 3rd liner. But, the current third line is the best the Canucks have had for a long time so I don't really want to mess that up. And I don't think the Canucks could get much if anything in return in a trade for the reasons you cite. Although he has been playing well, his counting stats are not good enough that trading him now would be "selling high". If the Canucks could unload his cap hit (no retention) in return for any kind of positive asset (B prospect or 3rd round pick, say) I probably would do it, but I would have mixed feelings about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the more time zones involved, the bigger the impact. The slightest difference can make a huge difference. With the improved skill and conditioning of players today, everyone is trying to find an edge that will take them over the top. It's already clear today that travel impacts performance. Just imagine when double-digit time zones are involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what is behind it, but the last two seasons he flirts with 20 goal seasons. At the rate he is going now, he won't break 10. Is he snakebit (doubtful), or have the yips (more likely), or...? The pricetag is hard to swallow this season, but he is still a good part of that awesome 3rd line. I agree, if he does move, there shouldn't be anything retained, all things remaining the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I believe that we had an unprecedented start due to all our stars playing at the top of their game at the same time. Something very rare to see. We now see others chipping in with one or two of the stars having very good games. This phase is more normal, it defines a good and complete team. What’s scary is that the Canucks have another gear once Kuzy and Petey regain their form. We will also soon have our PK specialist and big defender Soucy back in the lineup. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their PK will improve greatly with Zadorov as a part of PK as well. Our best PK were injured early as well. If we are healthy, our PK can be a top 10. I can see a new PK system is working well in last few games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
