Hronek sent to Abby for conditioning. This means he is very close to returning to the Canucks line up.

This Willander kid is going to be a big help on defense for this team. Be nice to see him at seasons end.

- Reubenkincade

That kid is going to be great going forward, hopefully a long career as a Canuck!!

It would put Hronek into his proper pecking order as a #5 defenseman

Why I think he can get inserted like Mcavoy did from same program. Could help Canucks make a run if they stay healthy and in the race into March.

Nothing Willander
Nothing Myers

LHD are cheaper to acquire and we have nothing on the left side. Soucy might have one year left but he is looking done

- CanuckDon

I don’t know what you’ve been hearing at the Roxy, but Willander doesn’t play in the NHL much less top 4 minutes that would not help his development. We need two top 4 d, have for years now. Hopefully they pull a move off

Listen you dumb little (frank)er. I’m simply stating that a LHD is a bigger need and are cheaper to acquire. Schneider is also overrated and apparently not available. Got it ?

Wild to see the returns proposed for Miller. He's aparently having a 'down' year and is ppg. He's 11th in league scoring the last 6 years and is an absolute badass. Yeah a bit harsh at times but we could us more guys like that. If he's traded we need a decent haul forsure. Center and dman at the very least. He puts a cup contender over the top forsure

When a guy takes a leave mid-season with no explanation, that kind of craters any return no matter the reason for the leave. Sprinkle his antics every couple years and all the noise around rifts and you're really not dealing from a position of strength.

If the team foresaw issues with him potentially arising again, the time to deal him was before signing his latest contract or after last year. I don't think he fetches too much now despite his production. Teams are gonna relentlessly lowball with this noise, even if some covet taking a chance on the player.

At 19 years old McAvoy stepped into a very good 112 point Bruins team and averaged 22:09 minutes a night. It's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility for Willander.

Fair point. I really don't care either way. If he's dealt it needs to be for a fair return.

Yep, I wish we'd get fair value. I think if he is dealt it won't be very close to fair value.

If you took the JT Miller out of him, just looking at the player's stats and his reasonable contract he should be worth a lot. Then factor all the intangibles like size, physicality (not always hand-in-hand), passion etc. that he can bring to the table, he should be worth a king's ransom in a trade. Unfortunately he's got more than a few detractions now. Where there's that much smoke, there's usually fire. The Colin Delia lowlight was always really troubling to me. These things and now the leave of absence I think are going to result in other GMs offering deals that root in, we'll take your problem off your hands for you as a favour for so and so lowball offer.

Then you say f*ck that and keep him. He got 4 points last game. I'm okay just seeing EP sent packing.

There is always someone willing to take a risk on a good player and pay for it....always. So JT has an attitude problem, that's not something so outlandish that it can't be cleaned up by someone.

There are countless examples of NHL'ers with character issues that had great careers. Doug Gilmour went from being accused of having sex with a 14 year old to being one of the most loved Leafs and a member of the hall of fame.

Evander Kane is a flawed human being and teams kept paying a pretty penny for his services. Pierre-Luc Dubois is a nut-job and teams keep giving up tons for his services.

Why do you care about Delia? He (frank)ing sucked and wasn’t paying attention. My only regret is that Miller didn’t hit him in the head. This fanbase 🤮

I swear this teams fans are the softest in the league. I blame the Sedins and the turn the other cheek mentality. The fans and players need to harden the (frank) up if we have any chance to win a cup. (frank) players feelings. (frank) Bruce’s feelings. Players, coaches and management are all expendable and should be treated as such

They're probably getting low balled on both player's because of the drama. I don't see playoff success with with a healthy team anyway. Make moves in the summer or not at all, it's not a fire sale.

Millers only attitude problem is he is too nice in the room. He should have thrown Petey’s PS4 in the team showers
