Mike Vanderhoek Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 20 hours ago, PureQuickness said: It's overkill. Less is more. Where is that player going to find the playing time? As it stands now if you were to compare the last Canucks club to go deep in the Playoffs ( 2011 ) vs the current club, this year's version is arguably deeper with exception of a depth dman if Irwin is not going to be that guy after the deadline and maybe another bigger bodied forward. 2024 2011 Pettersson Sedin Miller Sedin Lindholm Kesler Boeser Burrows Garland Higgins Mikheyev Samuelsson Joshua Hansen Hoglander Raymond Blueger Hodgson Suter Torres De Giuseppe Oreskovich Aman Tambellini Lafferty Glass Karlsson Bolduc Kessel ?? Malhotra Podkolzin ?? Lapierre Bains ?? Hughes Edler Hronek Ehrhoff Myers Bieksa Cole Salo Zadorov Hamhuis Soucy Tanev Juulsen Alberts Friedman Ballard Irwin ?? Rome Demko Luongo DeSmith Schneider The Canucks have far more center depth and higher end skill currently. I would not be concerned about Kessel with exception the Canucks could lose Aman on Waivers if not done right. I wonder if Irwin will be a depth playoff option but I would see one more dman on top of Kessel making this squad more complete. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the top end Hughes is obviously a LOT better than anyone we've ever had. But after him and Hronek, I'd give the edge to 2011... Bieksa, Salo, Hamhuis and Tanev is ridiculous "bottom 4" D depth. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing to remember about Tanev though was he was our 9th dman at the time and as good as a defenceman we remember him being, him playing in the SCF was not a good thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev playing was fine. The bigger problem was that just about everyone ahead of him was playing hurt, injured/out or suspended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reported that 4 teams were interested in him, if true he wouldn’t clear waivers. And if he’s not signed prior to the trade deadline he’s ineligible for playoffs.

If that's the case, then it's very likely JR/PA will bring someone else in, who's not a rental, for the playoffs. That was always in the works, but I'm interested to see who.

AnthonyG Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Coryberg said: I wouldn't shed a tear if we lost Di Giuseppe on waivers. He hasn't had a single point since mid November (21 games played). Well i mean he’s also been averaging around 7-8mins since returning from injury. He may not be picking up points, bur he is also not getting scored on. Of those 21 games 8 of those have been sub 9mins and one being 9:10 TOI. So basically half of those games are 9mins or less. And then you look at his short handed time of nearly 50 mins…. Hes killing just over a minute per game. Hes got a lot going against production….. he has to work extra hard and pull off a lot more in short time and unfavourable deployment to pick up points. I’d like him available in the bottom 6 for depth, he seems to be quite reliable Edited February 21 by AnthonyG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not unless we're desperately in need. He's good depth, but if we had to lose someone because of Kessel, I would bet it's probably him. Who else would it be on the roster? Aman isn't going to go back down, he's also much younger than PDG is, so he's got that going for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
