Rick_theRyper Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 1 hour ago, IBatch said: Soucy already plays right too. He was my main man last summer, and we signed the guy. Best UFA signing we've had in over a decade despite the injury. Yeah between the two I think we can let Myers walk. Does Cole resign here? Sucks Breeze went down all year. Thought we had a cheap LD there, still a chance he plays in NHL next year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in the top 10 season results in Canucks History will this one go down as? Sometimes it doesn't quite feel like it reading the comments, but gotta say more and more folks seems to realise this team is for real...

Same height? Hopefully he won't break out in 'purple rain' during a game... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 1 hour ago, Gawdzukes said: Yes, exactly on Hronek. We have the best #1 unit, or close to it in hockey. That's like those that wanted to trade Petey for draft picks. We have what we've been desperately seeking for years here and now. Do not mess with it. I understand the grass isn't always greener on the other side angle and people talk about lack of options next year. However, I find it hard to believe our hockey people in management can't conceive of a better player than Myers to compliment our defence group. That's a defeatist and lazy attitude in my opinion. He's nothing more than a fallback option in case a better player can't be found. I would consider at all of the other 90 RD's in the league first. I think his game goes downhill once he has the security of a new deal as well. Exactly. On the same page. From what we've seen of management's decision-making, I'm confident they'll look at all the options beyond Myers. They can get a better player, imo. At least we know the fallback.

Gawdzukes Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 12 minutes ago, Hogs and Podz said: Dillon cheaper than Zadorov? I think so, probably by $2 mil. He'll be 34 next year and I think he'd sign a 2 or 3 year deal at around $3 mil. I think Zads at 29 will be looking at $5+ mil for 6-8 years.

WHL rocks Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) This is crazy. In the Western conference 7 of the 8 playoffs teams are stacked. Besides NSH it would not be a surprise to see any of them make it to the SCF. LA maybe a bit behind the other 6 but they're still a really good team. Its going to be really tough to win the 1st round let alone the Western Conference. Edited March 22 by WHL rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes Hronek Soucy Juulsen Zadorov Woo/Mcward Mid season review had McWard playing top 4 mins and steady as ever, projected as a solid 3rd pair nhler. We might have something there. Good competition for him and Woo to crack the roster and on a cheap contract to boot. Edited March 22 by Rick_theRyper 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure tbh, that's what management's job is and they are better at it then I, but I'd certainly be looking everywhere I could if I was them. There must be other RD's in the league somewhere. About 90 or so by my calculations. Maybe a trade for a cost controlled player is a possibility. I don't think it's some impossible task and we should always be striving to be better, not just give in and accept defeat. If no other options exist then sure he's a good fallback. As far as Zadorov I don't think we can afford him myself. $5 mil plus for a third pairing guy is going to be tough for us to pull off. I would like to keep him if we can afford it though. That money would be better spent on RD imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That money would be better spent on RD imo. his size factor plays into it. He's got a rare mix of decent size and enough skill to be a 4/5. As part of a total defensive package where you can save elsewhere on ELCs for D Petey and Willander, it makes sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible Nux will be out in 4 games or in the first round. You never know. Until they do it, it's never a given. Enjoy the ride. I would lower my expectations and hope for the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkin Hronek Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The race for the Presidents Trophy is absolutely NUTS. The top 8 teams are separated by FOUR POINTS. Not to mention the Oilers are 3 games and 5 points back of Dallas but they're not in the running for top in the league. (Also, tied for first in pts% ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
