Cant see management content with Juulson on the first pair. Juulsen is just a younger Schenn it’s really not much difference. Let’s not forget Schenn was almost out of the league when we traded for him. Just need someone that can play simple and get Hughes the puck. That being said I don’t see why they don’t try Soucy and Cole together considering they played a whole season together in Minnesota. I don’t agree that you can put Hughes and Hronek together. Why not? See what he can do with a legit top 4 partner. Hughes Hronek Soucy Cole Irwin Myers 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure I like Tocchet's adamance to have lefties with righties. Will seriously hamper our options on D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimist Prime Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Yesterday, I walked into the barn on Blanchard thinking I was late, around 9:30 AM, when to my surprise, there were a couple tendies on the ice, being scored on, in loosely alternating fashion by none other than Hank and Dank, the wonder twins!! Great way for me to 'start' my hockey season with a live viewing of the Sedins helping coach our goalies. The full practice started a few minutes later and it was a pleasure to see. Taking today away from the rink but I will be there again tomorrow for the scrimmage for sure! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He prefers lefties with righties generally, but especially thinks Hughes needs a righty with him because it makes it quite a bit easier to swing Hughes the puck. This is obviously critical for that pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of them makes the big club, it would be just awesome to see and a great motivation for all the other Abby forwards that we have. From an athlete’s point of view, its nice to have a coaching staff basically say “here is where we see you in the NHL”. Even if the odds are stacked against them, it’s a good motivational/development strategy. Good on Tocchett and staff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he prefers a righty with Hughes, and likely going to see a lot of guys tried out there. Juulsen, Woo, Myers, Hronek, McWard, and Johansson all fighting for that spot currently. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a nice story too local reclamation project and he’s worked hard. i liked what I saw from him last year. and if Foote likes it and the balance it brings to the rest of the pairings it could very well be what we roll out i do think he’s not as tough as Schenn but he’s not a softy and he is a better skater 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see if he can figure it out. Not to rub salt into the wound. But we did draft OJ. So being a first rounder doesn't mean you'll turn into a quality NHL player. It's just the likelihood you'll turn into an NHL is greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bane Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) D pairings will likely end up like this Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Myers Cole-McWard Hronek looks built and has proven to be a top pairing defenceman. Myers can play his offensive game a bit more now with Soucy being a reliable stay at home defender. Canucks need to start inserting at least one young defenceman into the mix and Ian Cole is a perfect veteran partner to help in developing a younger defenceman. I get the reasoning of having Juulsen there but the Canucks current defence already has what he brings. McWard has potential to be a top 4 defenceman and possesses some offensive ability.
