We can also agree that their last stretch of 10-12 games has not been their best hockey and they are in a slump. You’re living in the present and I’m thinking about the future. How the Canucks do in the next 4 against LA, Vegas, Colorado, Winnipeg will say a lot of we’re out of the slump or still in it. One thing I’ll say about the win, is I much prefer their headspace going into the next four games trying to build on a win (even one against the Ducks) as opposed to going into the next four after losing to the Ducks and being on a losing streak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) 6 hours ago, DeNiro said: If they can acquire another top 6 there will be a trickle down effect. Suter can be dropped down to the fourth line. And Lafferty I think has done a good job in that role. The way I see it is we need one more fourth liner with size. Trade Miller Boeser Hoglander Pettersson Lindholm Joshua Blueger Garland Trade Suter Lafferty PDG, Aman, Podkolzin I would prefer trickle up. Guentzel isn't going to make us better. Just like Beauvellier Kuzz and Kessel don't move the needle for us. We need a closer someone we can put out to close a game when we're up 2-1 so we can rest our stars and still win the game.

You’re not seriously comparing Guenztel to those players are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole team and coaches, fans, should be living in the moment, and next game mentality. Management can worry about the future, and thats a great conversation but should be in a totally different Thread. Like "what the fuck are we going to do for cap to keep Brock and Demko" thread.

Strawbone Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I'm starting to think Podkolzin was called up to boost his trade value. Mission accomplished, but I sure hope we keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no picks this year. Maybe a third or 4th then it’s 6th and 7th. No thirds the following 2 years. It all add up. Plus Podkolzin could be a cheap contract for us next year.

We don’t looks so great in the cupboards Totally agree - that will be a bit painful + lot to give up as well as some loss team chemistry - this team has some scorers - but in the past playoffs, I always wished they had more grit / size and plenty of depth on the D. Two games against big teams they may face sometime down the road - big week for JR + company on making TDL decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the more scoring you have the more likely you can score two in tight checking games like we saw against LA. Guenztel is also a very capable two way player so he’ll help you at both ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love a guy like Greenway or Duhaime but the top 6 needs to be addressed first. We have Suter and Mikheyev in the top 6. That’s not good enough.
