Seems to me this team may actually have a better record to this point as they’re breaking all these team records, number of games to reach 20 wins, etc. Of course it’s only the playoffs that matter now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2 minutes ago, Attila Umbrus said: I have to add in here. I don’t like the word “bust” used for Juulsen. I don’t think most fans know he had a serious eye injury at the start of his nhl career in Montreal. He almost lost his vision in one eye. This is a long road to recovery story more than a bust story with his development. I think we are finally seeing what he was always supposed to be. yup there's a good skill set there, or at least the potential for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attila Umbrus Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 6 minutes ago, Bob Long said: yup there's a good skill set there, or at least the potential for it. For sure, he has another level to him. I think he can easily get to being a consistent bottom pair shut down guy. Which he’s almost at now, he’s averaging around 15 mins I believe. So to me that’s a bottom pair/7th dman kind of mins. Next step is he just doesn’t come out of the lineup period and plays around 18 mins. If he goes further than that…wow what a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Bonkers. The Canucks have Moneyball Savant tier Pro Scouting and I don't think there's anything they can't pull off. And I'm here for all of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare to dream. Lindholm would be such a great fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 42 minutes ago, Tusk said: I mean, people want a 2c FOR kuzy and mik. So if you lose kuzy what is the point? I love the lotto line, but Petey's best value will be with those two. ANYBODY can play with JT and Brock. We have lots of wingers in ABBY who can come up when playoffs start with no cap issue. So if the Canucks are "buyers" i would hope its at the AHL level. Maybe get Cole Lind back. I see you're really banging the drum hard for not adding or subtracting anyone from this group. I think people are rightfully thinking about it at this stage. Remember our competition will be doing the same. I do think you're right to some extent that you don't want to mess with chemistry. However there are still question marks on this team. Are we strong enough and deep enough to play playoff hockey? Do we have enough scoring and grit in the top 6. When a team is doing this well typically you want to see that out and give yourself the best chance at winning. We really have zero AHL guys I would be 100% comfortable throwing into a playoff series. In fact quite the opposite, we haven't had a single call up come in and show that capability. Also, a Cole Lind type is not going to accomplish anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 57 minutes ago, Jester13 said: Arguably our biggest weakness right now is not having a single right-handed centre, and our faceoff percentage struggles. Elias Lindholm is right handed and second in the league for FO% with a cap hit of 4.85 this year. Kuzy++ might get it done for Calgary. Abby guys for the post-season won't put us over the top, but someone like EL very well could. Petey - Miller - Brock Hogs - Lindholm - Mik Joshua - Blueger - Garland PDG - Suter - Laff its would cost us Lekkerimaki for sure, too as they'd be taking salary back. If there was a really good extension in there it might be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they'll get a higher pick than ours and other roster offers. I can handle the idea of losing JL, but only if we get good cost control back on a key position. I really doubt Allvin would burn such a key prospect for a rental. This ain't Jimbo's team anymore. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a treat it is to finally have a truly competitive team again. We’re seeing consistent play making, goal scoring and team confidence that’s been missing for a decade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't gamble and would never promote it but if their money is on the Canucks and they're not in the business of losing money, I find that Very interesting.

Yeah, I see no world where Lekk will get moved because we basically know what we have in him. This year's 1st is almost certainly on the table for the right player, same with Kuz. The only other option is to go after a winger and break up the Lotto line. Lindholm lineup: Petey - Miller -Boeser Hogs - Lindholm - Mik Joshua - Blueger - Garland PDG - Suter - Lafferty Guentzel lineup: Guentzel - Petey - Mik Hogs - Miller - Boeser Joshua - Blueger - Garland PDG - Suter - Lafferty I just don't see any other guys out there to trade for that make sense to go for it with. If we can't somehow get one of the two above, I'd rather we just keep our assets, hope that Kuzy finds his form again and can perform in the playoffs, and go with the group we have right now. Worst case scenario is still a very good case scenario. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
