luckylager Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 2 minutes ago, The Duke said: Same mentality when you’re up 3-2 and trying to sit on a lead. Nope. Gotta keep pushing. Yell yeah. And I'm sitting here hoping they can figure out a way to upgrade on Mikheyev, AND maybe still add another winger too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammertime Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just now, Jester13 said: Suter - Miller - Boeser Petey - Lindholm - Mikheyev Joshua - Blueger - Gnarly Hogs - Aman - Lafferty Mikheyev is a black hole. He doesn't have the competitive edge of Hogs. Hoglander is waaaay better on the wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanofvan Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 7 minutes ago, luckylager said: If the team wasn't riding such a miraculous turnaround, I'd be with you, and you're justified in being reluctant to move a 1st because we're all still suffering some post JB ptsd. However, they are 1stin the league and look like they needed a couple of big pieces to push them into that legit cup contender tier. This is a good move. Honest question....do you see them regressing next year with all the pending UFA and need for Pettersson and Hronek raises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louggy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) This was just a solid hockey trade for both sides especially if we can get Lindy to stay We solidify our top 6 with a player that will help us during our playoff run Flames get rid of a player that didn't want to stick around and swing the doors open for a proper rebuild Instead of hoping to squeak into the playoffs Edited February 1 by Louggy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 2 minutes ago, MeanSeanBean said: I'd have Mik and Hog switched to start. Unless Hoggy absolutely forces his way up the roster, I like his play on the bottom lines. Leads the league in goals 5v5 per 60 I would say Hog is forcing his way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijjibo Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, DeNiro said: That’s essentially what this is. From the same fanbase that believed Frankie Corrado and Jordan Subban were going to be top 4 NHLers and our top 6 would be entirely made up of the first round picks we drafted and Joseph Labate. Don't forget Jordan Schroeder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 2 minutes ago, Strawbone said: Holy shit I still can’t believe we swapped Kuzy for Lindholm! Never mind the other pieces, this makes the Canucks so much better now. I can’t wait for the All-Star break to be over. 100% with you! Let's do this!

Joshua.Guy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 6 minutes ago, Alflives said: Nope. Like Miller, Lindholm would take faceoffs, but Petey would play centre in open pkay. They've already stated they don't play this way when Miller and Pettersson play together. Whoever is closer plays the down low guy in d zone.

NewbieCanuckFan Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, DeNiro said: Nope, fair price. Kuzmenko had almost zero value with how he’s played. Believe it or not not every trade has to be a steal to be good. Some fans need to learn that. Less than zero to the Canucks right now. A new team might change that but he was a $5.5 million (and next season) problem. I would think the 1st rounder was required to unload this 'cap dump" (granted, a lower power if he wasn't involved).

Didn't look so hot when he was up the lineup. Started heating up on the 4th line when he has easier competition. I'd be happy he proves me wrong, but for now I like him on the 4th line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, fanofvan said: Honest question....do you see them regressing next year with all the pending UFA and need for Pettersson and Hronek raises? I think the team next season, isn't as good as this year, which is why management is going all in. I can see them missing the playoffs next season. I hope they resign Lindholm, but they probably don't have the cap space to do it. Unless Petey and Hronek take discounts, which doesn't strike me that they will. And what about all the UFA's they still gotta sign? Lafferty? DeSmith? Blueger? Joshua? Myers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like both Hronek and Lindholm, however wince a bit at the price paid in the most recent deal. Hronek had term and was a pending RFA, Lindholm can walk. We paid nothing for adding Lindholm. Explain how we paid more than than nothing. Then bow to the Empties. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, fanofvan said: Honest question....do you see them regressing next year with all the pending UFA and need for Pettersson and Hronek raises? Honestly, I'm last guy to ask. Last year I nearly had an aneurysm when we traded a 1st for Hronek. I had absolutely no faith in the direction Allvin wanted to take and thought we were just being set up to middle for a couple years before sucking shit again. Start of the season I picked Canucks as a bubble team at best, but more likely to miss playoffs. So my forecasting is clearly way off, and I'm not going to answer your question. I will say I'm really happy with the team I've been seeing this year, I now believe in this management group and support their vision. I think we're a piece away from being a team that could like..... you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
