This kid has been getting his ass wiped from Benning, Allvin, Aquilini since he got drafted, now Hughes is supposed to wipe his ass, fuck that, trade him, waive him, buy him out, enough is enough with this POS

Yup.

I get it already you’ve made it abundantly clear you want him gone. Has nothing to do with what it takes for him to reinvent himself here. Nobody is wiping his ass JTM on the contrary & Hughes isn’t kissing his ass either. As captain you lead in many ways & in this case the kid gloves are off. You demand you don’t request. If EP doesn’t respond to that then his head is too far up his own ass & you move him.

Thanks.
I will watch even less next season, if Pouty is still here.

Columbus and Anaheim have nice young teams with more than 2 Canadians on the team, maybe take a hiatus from the Canucks, for the remainder of his contract.

That's up to you but I'd hope if he came back with a different attitude you'd be open to changing your mind.

He's very skilled but everything else is pretty much meh.

Be in shape
Get stronger
Grow up
Drop the airs
Lose the toque lol

Pretty straightforward conditioning & attitude & character has to go up.

I’ve wondered on that myself.
My guess our 1st & maybe Mynio.
Idk if this draft warrants trading up.
I think I lean more to a trade down if PA & scouting have a player targeted further down. It gets pretty scattered mid draft & many ways to choose.
- Nighthawk

I think it does, if you look at tiers in the draft. Particularly on draft day if someone falls. It really depends on the cost.

I think maturity has something to do with it but there's a whole lot of lack of accountability. There are also questions about physical stature and demeanour, which isn't necessarily a good thing when your best player is as smaller defenseman.

The good news is that the cap hit is only 11.5 for the next 7 years. That seems awful based on last season, but if Petey only becomes what he was without taking it to another level it will become a bargain in the future IMO. He's 26 years old, much of his best hockey should be ahead of him.

I started changing my mind a couple seasons back, then he reverted back to being his entitled POS self again


I won't be fooled again.

Maybe you should call him Who? instead of Pouty. It might be less offensive for the sensitive types.

In that scenario I agree that would mean a C in my estimation. I don’t see it any other way. D is not a priority & trade up for a winger is unlikely for the cost.

Pretty much attitude & character as for a bargain later maybe but they’re paying him now & the club is hamstrung with his contract unless he earns it like he can.

If Who? stays the same as he was last year it's an awful contract. If he is the same player he was prior to the year + slump then it will gain value. If he can somehow progress from where he was than he'll be worth the money immediately.

But yeah, C has clearly become the #1 concern on the club. Scoring wingers are easier to find, although certain skillsets are rare.

I would really be looking to trade up this draft.

A winger like Martone would be worth moving up for.

This management group would be trading up to get Frondell or Eklund, that would be the end of it for most Canucks fans I know.
At least at 15, there shouldn't be a Swede anywhere close to that pick.

Agree but with the EP situation & if to resign Suter the C position sticks out biggest. It’s not a high end draft for me to spend assets on I rather see what falls or pick a C with the highest ceiling. Somebody has to be the future 2C if EP returns to a 1C along with Chytil & Raty.

What about our 15th for Philly’s 24th & 25th or do we need to add?

I'd be more than happy with Frondell outside of the top 5. I like Desnoyers obviously but I don't know where most have him on their board. If you want this kid can play in the NHL possibly by the end of next year as a 4th line C and more than hold his own.

I think around pick 9 is where the level of player drops substantially outside of the top pick or two.

- Nighthawk

I think there are a few players in the draft with top 2C potential that can play both ends of the rink almost immediately in a reduced capacity. Some of them have 1C potential.

Yup
- Reubenkincade

Fix that guy's skating and conditioning and he could be a dominant player. There's risk for sure, but I think the floor is high.

Love to get Desnoyers.

Not interested in getting any more Swedes or Americans.

He has some really nice skills, skating not being at the top of those skils
