He is a $5MM player that was propped up by Millsy and Pouty. Glad everyone is seeing it now

everyone, you’ll be happy to know we’re back to disagreeing now

Back to hockey…

Hronek will help out much needed D mobility. I single that out as the most needed upgrade & doesn’t end with only him. Also RT having them play more North South is a big adjustment from past coaches. Teams like the Bruins & Canes with solid rosters angle players into positions that are not good when they go east west. Straight on with speed is much better on the break outs & the rush. Dump ins are facilitated better & then it’s onto the forecheck & winning puck battles. Board play is always a staple of good teams. Entering the zone on the rush is great but ends there if cannot cycle or create passing lanes. Garland is a prime example of that & perimeter play not productive. Forcing 1 on 1 defender from ops & chasing the puck sets up offensive chances. Puck possession & support is everything. When we suck is when ops does this against us. They kill our shift out working us til they score or we gain possession & dump it out for line changes & they reset & come right back at us. That grinding & wearing down teams is PO hockey. Some teams are better at it & sustain it in season & in the PO’s.

That is the challenge teams face imo

Do you think Bo is an $8.5MM player?

They have been winning and are in a playoff spot

Hanging in there but could change fast. Gotta keep it up to be a WC team.

Yeah, Dries as 3lc is really getting it done. Or Aman. Uh huh.

Stick to my comment instead of hearing voices. You need a check up? 😂

I wonder how much it will cost to get rid of Garland?

Bingo brother 👍

Well, they did get 82 games out of Bruce.
- Reubenkincade

They actually got 103 over 2 seasons but paid him for 129, still never got a full season, very Canuck.

A first. But Brock has to be this teams main priority. Up next is one of Myers or OEL. Use our first to trim some fat

Do you think Bo is an $8.5MM player?
- CanuckDon

No here.

Bumper PP goals a product of others feeding him. He was great at finishing though. Great on the dot. That’s all he excelled at. If he would bang cuz he’s strong & thick then it’s a different question. 7m tops

Do you think Bo is an $8.5MM player?
- CanuckDon

I don’t, no. But I think he’s a solid 2C probably 7 or 7.5 would be reasonable. He’s definetly given that team a jolt in the arm. I hope they keep going both for Bo and so that Detroit gets a worse pick.

Idk bro. No sweetener is needed it’s about a fit somewhere imo.

Pitt, Minny some bottom feeders be my guess. Offseason moves from teams will help figure it out.

My ask is a 2023 2nd & a 3rd.

Are you high?

I noticed the other day people have been questioning your intelligence since 2017.

Your comment said run with the F's they have. Well thats Dries or Aman as 3lc.

Wow

Not this draft.

Agree Brock & his contract stick out. That move will take patience & hard work. It’ll happen when the offer & timing is right.

Garland is past due & very expendable imo. We have prospects that are cheaper that do much the same thing &/or can do more maybe.

Myers is the easiest to look at to jettison. After his bonus paid he will get attention.

OEL is only a matter of time & which season they buy him out. Only way that changes is he reinvents himself & his knee is 100%. He has the savvy & poise but means squat when his mobility is a huge liability. Worst team +/-.

He is good at faceoffs and the PP. the team is better off now that he is out of the room. Dodged a serious bullet with that retirement contract

(frank) this draft: if they don’t move up they need to move the pick. They are going all in clearly while they have Kuzy and Pouty. I don’t agree wi th the direction but they need to at least have some conviction. No more half measures

Hearing the Canucks will announce the McDonough signing tomorrow.

I liked the return, didn’t like the contract but I liked him as a Canuck. Consummate pro, worked hard and got better every year.

I just trolled him.

Ok I’ll elaborate but won’t show you up with intelligence. I’ll play on your level lol

You said not me Dries or Aman not I. I’ll paint a picture for you…

With wingers this roster has it’s a very simple concept. C’s play 200’ responsible hockey & use their wingers strengths. Sutter is gone. He was a black hole C. Wingers are fed head man passes & push with speed & skill. Get D on their heels keeping the wingers wide. Zone entered. From their it’s onto puck possession & grinding. When achieved it wears down Ops & the lines that follow have a leg up to continue that. 1st & 2nd scoring lines become more dangerous & lethal now. All of this can fall apart with turnovers or poor decisions. Smart hockey is always a trait of winners. It has to be a team mentality such as RT harps on. Any mistake can be overcome it’s when more mistakes follow up the 1st. Dominos leads to bad hockey.

Skate & work hard & play smart for each other. Hockey is all about team.

I lean towards 1st deal more with the cap then sign 1 key UFA D eg Gavrikov or Soucy at a decent price. If 2 D then more trades for cap are needed & tbh it could rankle the fans of what that price could be.
