Sell.the.team Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I really just wanted someone to replace PGD but I'm also optimistic some young guys can get into the lineup for the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I’m fine with nothing from the Canucks this TDL. Now onto next year roster building. Factoring in OEL cap penalties of the $2.35M, $4.76M, $4.76M in the next few years. On a good note, Poolman LTIR ($2.5M) only has 1 more year left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Déjà Vu Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 the team being very inexperienced for playoff hockey, even if we dont go far or we get bounced 1st/2nd round, its all about the experience this year, not getting the cup, none expected us to get the cup this year at start of season, and none feel that way now, its more for the experience and it seems we couldnt sign phil due to cap issue, shrug ...owell 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Good to see us keep our youth and not trade for another rental. Playoffs will be fun to watch If the price was right we might have made a trade but guess wasn't in the cards so I am good with our team.

Personally, I think they made a bad move and its going to hurt them. Dude can't play D either. The times I've seen Middlestedt, I've been quite impressed. He's definitely outpaced his reputation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardown Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 minute ago, Smashian Kassian said: 3rd rounder was a steep price for someone who maxes out as a 4th liner. Especially given we have a number of good 4th line options already. Would've been nice but at that price I was fine to pass. We got bruz in the third round....you can find players who become more valuable in one season with those picks...or can become key parts of your team...

CaribouCanuck Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I know it's disappointing that the Canucks didn't make any moves at the deadline, but honestly if Lindholm can find chemistry with some line mates and get going I think that's better than any trade they could have made today. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzle Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Was halfway hoping to see an add… but am also very okay standing pat. The west is going to be a dogfight this year. Hopefully we come out on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Expected the team to add after going all in with Lindholm trade. Would've been happy if they did nothing and just went to year seeing what this group can do. Look at the west teams additions, canucks have less than 1% chance in my books going deep, we failed to do anything to counter their moves this week and it will bite us come playoffs. Will be good experience for the team, see what the GM does this coming off season and go from there is how I look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindholm is our TDL pickup. It just happened a month early. If the Canucks acquired Lindholm today, I think most Canucks fans would be pretty damn excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinot Noir Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Patriks favourite word today is hope. hope isn’t a strategy. Hoping Brisboi can fill in in the playoffs is a fool’s errand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorvatToBaertschi Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 3 minutes ago, Northern_Nuck said: Guessing reading comprehension isn’t your strong point. Vegas when they activate their actual nhl players when they don’t have to worry about salary cap. The Mcdavid that shows up for 1 series and gets 10-15 points in a series before the next one when he goes out in 4. So you want to play that Mcdavid for his yearly series? Vegas was almost with their entire roster last night. They were horrendous. They’re 22-23-6 since their hot start. Hertl has also been meh for a while. yeah, McDavid is scary, but it’s a 2 player team. You shut them down (like we’ve done 3 times consecutively this year) and things are much easier.

I kinda like this team, not paper favorites but good mix, solid centers, what scoring is lacking gets offset by checking Mik - Miller - Boeser hogz-Pettersson-suter Joshua - Blueger - Garland podz -Lindholm - laff pdg, Aman Hughes - hronek cole-soucy Zadorov - juulsen myers brisebois - Friedman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cusm Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 It's astonishing how little credit is given to our team by so many people here. As if they hadn't already earned that trust. I'm fine with keeping our young and wild and picks. 2 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They decided that the price they had to pay for Toffoli was too much... If not Toffoli would have been here. I am not so hyped as other over Toffoli.. But I'm sure he could have done a job on Peteys wing, but at what cost? and his cap hit on $2.1M, did we have room for that (provided we would have been able to get Devils to retain half his cap hit). Not sure we got players I'd let go to make room for Toffolis cap hit... Lets see come play offs time, if he makes a difference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
