Hertl will need to fit in cap wise the following year, a player, or players will need to go. Heck he may not even play this season, or be effective. Hope this blows up for them I think he's getting too old. He peaked yrs ago scoring 4 goals in a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spook007 Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 4 minutes ago, Jaimito said: Takes discipline for them not to make a move just to make a move. You know the reputation JR has. They don't sit pat. So if they didn't do anything, it isn't from lack of trying. But considering the moves in off season and during the season, which is the biggest among all 32 teams, they have already added depth to what they need and now have the #1 team in the West, #2 in NHL. Team isn't even fully healthy yet. Still got Myers and Joshua in the bullpen. All about need, availability and price.... If the price doesn't fit the need, then it is nonsense to load up... We've spent 12 years discussing the issue draining the prospect pool presents... Lets not ever go down that route again, or at least until we know, we have a big opportunity... Despite us slaying the dragons recently, I don't think any fans doubt the task ahead, come playoffs time... At least we will know, what our players can / can not do after the play offs, and should we be in the same position next season (or there about), they will be making more calculated moves... For now we are looking good as we are.... although I would have loved another bruiser forward or winger for Petey (could have been the same player)... 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podz and Lek getting playoff experience is all that matters The chances of winning a cup on your first run is almost zero. Even the 80's oilers didn't do that dude 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been nice to land more depth pieces but I sure like it better to say we’ve already made our deals than “we ran out of time” "We ran out of time' is cheif moron Jim Benning"s line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to make a real playoff fun this season though somewhat unexpected... All these trades are maybes too. Only one team wins the cup and a lot of teams are mortgaging their future. This is the Canucks first time going to the playoffs in a very long team. Teams usually have to repeatedly make the playoffs and gain that experience to eventually win a cup. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made our moves, got to top of league with this team. Benning would have emptied the cupboard for a rental or two.

Captain insano Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I believe we held our assets to make a big run at Sid when he comes available…. Maybe I’m just hopeful but I think that’s a jr type move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiDeN Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just now, Integra250 said: Did any other contenders add a Selke-level Center??? Don’t think so. Lindholm has started to look comfortable, so making the move early was important. Hopefully he continues to improve in the offense department down the stretch, but even if he ends up on a shutdown 2nd line that allows the lotto line to be reunited, then that's good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
