I don't believe it is a matter of wins and losses at this point, it is more about how the team is playing and how or if the coaching staff is making adjustments.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, the team has not been very good and the coaching hasn't made adjustments
I know some of the posters on here don't like to hear this but I will use Pouty and Hughes as examples, Pouty has been very average the past 20-30 games, maybe longer, teams have started bouncing him around a lot more, so what does coach Tocchet do, adds noted physical presence players Hoglander and Boeser, then makes a stupid comment that he has added 60 goals to his wing.
In Hughes case, who is having a very nice season, when he is off his game, like he was last game when he was the cause of the final 2 goals, you have to wonder why he wasn't sat down, like any other player on this team.
Both these players have been overplayed, and teams have been catching up to them which is a part of why the team hasn't looked so good lately.

Good take.

Kuzmenko

That’s lazy Kuzmenko to some. 9 points in his last 5 games, I’m sure he could have added a spark when needed.

Disaster of a trade.

Kuzmenko will be waived by Calgary half way through next season.

Meh, think we see a better version of Lindholm once he's back and healthy.

Next season, playing for a different team?

Why you gotta be so negative all the time?

I’m a fan. Hope he does well.
I don’t think he was a good fit for coach Toc on a contending team tho.
Seems to do better when things are more loose.

In the end, we needed to get out from under that contract.
Obviously Lindholm hasn’t been a great add. Although he’s got time to fix that storyline.
I think I’d be more upset if mgmt didn’t push their chips in with the season we had.

Yeah, conceptually I like the idea of making moves and showing the commitment to go for it this year, I just hate the volume of what they gave up for a guy who wasn't a sure thing. I would have rather spent some of those same pieces on Toffoli and Walker/Tanev for example

Totally.
Even Adam Larson if we’re just getting a defensive 3c.
But I’m still optimistic that Lindholm can turn things around.

My latest thoughts/hopes was:

Lotto line.
Joshua/Lindholm/Garland.
Mikeheyev/Blueger/Podkolzin
Diguseppe/Suter/Lafferty.

Aman looked overwhelmed and out of position a few times last game.

I can't see a single reason to not reunite Joshua-Blueger-Garland

Reason 1. Get Lindholm going.

I watched the Colorado vs Dallas game last night, Avs looked a lot like the recent Canucks. Lazy penalties, not really engaging with an aggressive mindset, both teams coasting into the playoffs.

I feel like the Canucks players, except Hughes, feel like it’s been a successful year because it’s been such a great turnaround. Hopefully they can ramp it up for whoever they play. Need Demmer back CDS was awful last game.

Put him with top 6 players then. I would think Miller stands a better chance of getting him going.
