Yes Sasson and Raty can play but they are not as good as Suter or Blueger and Canucks don't seem to have cap issues so I would go with the better players IMO.

I like Suter I think he has a good price tag and is fine as a player.
- VANTEL

I like Suter too, although I'll say I liked it more when he chipped in goals during the good vibes of last year when many others were scoring as well. This year it feels like he scores when the game is outta hand or to tie it only for us to blow it. Not his fault, at least he's still doing his thing. I think someone might chuck a few more bucks at him then we're willing though. OEL gets a raise next year too so gotta budget for that!

He made it 1-1 last game. I think the game before a shorty? Not sure about that

EP25 plays both sides
- VANTEL

So does EP116 🤔

Do you really want to go into next year Silovs and Kevin Lankinen?

I don't think you are going to get Lank for 3 mil I think you need to look at 5 mil. Then your next Casey Desmith every team will be looking for and his price tag will be close to 3.5. so that is why I say stay with Demko.
- VANTEL

I said 4milish not 3.
And the Canucks can shop for a 30 game backup. They have done it the last 2 seasons with success. It doesn't mean continued success going forward, but that is the route that I would go. Look at the Leafs getting Stolarz, diamonds in the rough are to be found. And if the D is improved, that will help as well.

Yeah it's probably just the apathy wearing me down. The turn from last year to this year is a major bummer, done in a way it feels like only the canucks achieve.

But he will be gone in 2 weeks

Yup.

If Canucks did in fact say we are looking for a top 6 center it is a pretty tell tale statement by the team.

Isn't that what EP40 and Chytil suppose to be? I don't think they are trading Chytil who they have been trying to get for some time.

Lefty could be right(which would be rare) to move EP40 to wing. That is a lot of cheese for a 55 point winger.

Hughes is confirmed out tonight.

Chytil apparently is one hit away from retirement. Hopefully the top 6C rumor has leg's.

I'm telling you, they're gonna put EP40 on the wing to ease up on his knee.
- Pacificgem

Actually this could happen. Petey's skating and coverage at Center has been a little sporadic maybe the wing is a better fit at this point TBH. His skating has looked off for awhile now.

He's a keeper.
- Load Management

Is he though? Seems like he's the one guy that could be a trade chip. When you think about whos ahead of him and ages/contracts. And he Projects to be a 4-7 guy - not necesarily hard to find.
Top 4 could be potentially set for a long time (Willander)
Hughes 25
Hronek 27
MP 28
Will

Soucy, Myers may be around for 2-3 years
DPetey, Mancini, Kudryavtsev. (maybe)

Lefty could be right(which would be rare) to move EP40. There is still a lot of animosity in the dressing room still.

How many 19 year old DMen do they have that are ready to jump into the AHL? They need to hang onto him if they are planning on making moves up the food chain. The depth also allows some flexibility with trades later on.

WE DID IT!!!

This forward group looks sad...nowhere close to a contending team.

I have heard that too. Time will tell.
- VANTEL

Ya, I read an article yesterday saying that a number of players feel as though the wrong player was traded.
Looks like they might have to trade Pouty before July1, as well. Clear the room of bad juju.

I don't think this is a playoff team maybe we win the draft lottery and draft a Center.
