Miserywood if you believe you are winning a popularity contest by posting here it’s a sad reflection on your life. At least I had a mother, you were conceived by mad scientists using the DNA of flesh eating disease.

That’s not true. Moreweed’s mom might have been a little baked at the time but his conception was totally legit.

Allvin did a great job on the contract. Pettersson definitely left money on the table to stay in Vancouver. Didn't think with the market and the leverage Allvin would be able to get that.

From Dayal:
- NewYorkNuck

Hughes - Hronek
Pettersson - Willander
Pettersson - Mancini

D corps is shaping up to be pretty damn solid. Keep Soucy/Myers around for another year to insulate obviously

Willander might be a year or 2 in the A first. I don't know enough about Mancini except he was on the fringe with the Rangers. A Lefty has to go or they just let Forbort walk after this year.

If he wasn’t a 1st round draft pick he would have never been traded.

Yeah good point. The cut bait factor with management is high.

Are you posting the future Cup winning D?

In all seriousness, I agree on keeping Myers around. We don’t know about Mancini yet.

Like RT said EP25 is getting sheltered minutes to get bites of games and learn. I would not have him carrying another rookie anytime soon; if they had a choice, between Myers/Soucy.

Willander will graduate to the NHL but top 4 ready in YR 1 is too big an ask. We will get there though.

I'm doubtful on that. I think he goes from college straight here at the end of the season, and is on the team full time next year.

If he steps in and EP25 keeps up his play....our D is all of a sudden...dare I say it....good?

Boy some fans are stupid.

Anyone supporting an 11.6 mil mentally fragile player who is on pace for 43 points just proves how much some here know about hockey.

I suggest PA trade his ass for a fourth round pick keep the cap space and use the money to buy the Team Slurp a years supply of tissues.

Take it with a grain of whatever you want, but this is from Wheeler from January this year (ranking Canucks prospects):

2. Tom Willander, RHD, 19 (Boston University)

One of the better-skating D prospects in hockey, Willander was a beast for the Swedish under-18 team and Rogle’s junior team in his draft year and drove strong two-way results for the Terriers as a freshman and for the Swedish under-20 team last season without necessarily taking a pronounced step (his post-draft season was just OK). This season, he has played big minutes as a sophomore at BU and was impactful as Sweden’s go-to D on their shutdown pair (and also sharing the blue line on the power play with Axel Sandin Pellikka).

He’s a strong-in-all-three-zones defenseman who plays a confident and decisive defensive game that uses his beautiful, balanced skating to swallow up opposing carriers and then push forward or fall back onto his heels and outlet the puck.

He pulls away or retreats from pressure with ease, and excels on exits and going back to get pucks. His head is always up. He gets his shots through. And then, on top of the pro frame, the skating and the general athleticism, he also just plays the game with an intentionality that’s rare in players his age. He looks and operates like a pro out there. His passes are quick and firm. He activates when he can and picks his spots. Defensively, he’s aggressive on pinches and closing gaps, and rarely mistimes them, taking away the space so well in neutral ice. He made some mistakes that showed his youth at times as a freshman but he has looked back to his polished self this season. Willander doesn’t have dynamic skill or creativity on the puck, and his offensive-zone instincts are still coming, but he projects safely as an NHL defenseman and could become a two-way transition monster in a top-four role. Because of how high a level he defends and skates at, he rarely has bad games and play normally tilts in his team’s favor. And even though the offense doesn’t always pop inside the offensive zone, he’s a comfortable puck mover and transporter. He’s going to have a long career as a No. 3-4.

So classic that people come on here and cry day after day and then refer to players as soft or pouty. One thing that has never gone out of style on Hockeybuzz, that and making stuff up and pretending to have inside info.

Not sure why anyone replies. I've ignored him since the lowlife showed his true colours with his Gaudreau comment.

Yep very ignorant and disrespectful.

Send him to Buffalo should be the fix. The return would be good and he might turn it around with Dahlin.

Thanks. Sounds promising but I still think they let him grind it out a bit in the A. Maybe he gets a game or 2 if he decides to turn pro. I mean, it's extremely rare for a kid his age to jump from College to full time NHL. It sure would help if he did, but not at the expense of fully developing his game.

Love it. I wish we could buy a center this off season but we can't.

Suggesting he be traded for a 4th rounder is just as stupid as supporting him.

I don't expect the return to be great. I am fine sending him anywhere as long as it is not Vancouver.

Quit your whining. No one cares what you think

What everyone here missed aside from Reuby, who pointed it out, was him being a condescending prick to someone on Canucks Army for doing almost the exact same thing he did.

Dickheads are gonna dickhead regardless.

He needs to produce, simple. JR/PA aren't afraid to move mistakes out fast. I'll give them credit for that. To be fair to EP116, he'd be better off in another market because this one will suck the life out of him. July 1st.
