We went from a team that could roll 4 lines into a 2 line team. Petey and Lindholm didn't jell because they're both centers. So Lindholm got Jodhua and Garland and Petey got the shaft with Mikheyev. 1 goal in 69 games? I'd disagree. Yes there was a but of a transitory phase when he joined but he was a key player in the playoffs. Scored some big goals and gave us an advantage in face-offs.

Huge loss for Boston imo. I agree! He was the second highest on my list of players this offseason (I really wanted Matt Roy as a forever partner for Hughes), but Debrusk was my most sought-after forward. I think he's going to compliment the team very well. He plays in every situation (ES, PP, PK), is responsible defensively, has a good scoring touch, and plays physically. Obviously, seven years is a long time, but if he can find chemistry with Petey, $5.5M will look pretty good in a few years as the cap goes up.

Lewlowned Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Blueger is not listed in the groups but is skating with Group C, in a non-contact.

QH-NJ/Myers Soucy-Hronek DF-VD/Myers/NJ I can see us moving Myers around a bit depending on the opponent, NJ and VD likely both share some of the load.

Might make more sense to do Soucy - Desharnais Forbot - Myers 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He performed well as a 7d last year. Options are a beautiful thing! Forbort also only played 35 games last year. Injuries will happen and open up slots. Soucy only had 40 games last year because of injury. It feels so good to have depth on D. It means we can do some load management for the older guys. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team seemed pretty good in the playoffs. He may not be worth the contract he's getting in Boston. But that sounds like sour grapes.

Lewlowned Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago If Sprong can improve his defensive game, he could be great alongside Petey and Debrusk, who are both defensively strong. Heinen Miller Boeser Debrusk Pettersson Sprong Joshua Blueger Garland Hoglander Suter Sherwood That fourth line would be annoying 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there was a but of a transitory phase when he joined but he was a key player in the playoffs. Scored some big goals and gave us an advantage in face-offs. The formula that never worked was 3 top 2 centers. We had that with Horvat, Petey and Miller. It was a terribly flawed build. When Rutherford talked about major surgery he was talking about this imbalance. But Allvin was pushed into a corner and had no choice but to go after a top 6 Centre. Why? For Insurance. Because Petey wasn't talking and Allvin, didn't know what he was thinking. If he was going to pull a Tkachuk. So this is what the Canucks went into the Playoffs with, not 4 dangerous lines but 2 lines and a 3rd with Petey and nobody to play with. Allvin's plan A was to trade for a winger to play with Petey (beer league Kuzy and Mike weren't producing) but instead he tried playing negotiation games with management, they traded for insurance and the chemistry was never the same after the trade deadline. Allvin was forced into plan B, trading for Lindholm. A month later they sign Pettersson, immediately followed with rumors the Canucks were looking to trade Lindholm. Lindholm was struggling and he couldn't get a similar return that he gave up to get him. He had lost his trade value. The team that went into the playoff was an inferior version than the team that led the league for most of the season.
