Spot on, We are over achieving. And it pisses me off because this old core needs to go, but if we keep this up it will be one more stanley cup we didnt win and another high draft pick.

Exactly, peaking too early. Wait until the injuries start.

I can only imagine how good he'd look with a natural goal scorer on his wing full-time.

What's your team name - I don't know half the teams because I usually set my lineup for the week so I can work and play on there during office ours.

It's -23C in Fort Mac this morning (frank)

Sounds like a maintenance day for Bieksa as per Dave Tomlinson on TSN 1040.
I don't think Botch's numbers tell the whole story about the Canucks so far this season.

- SirJesto



I wish it was a maintenance game. Getting tired of Bieksa's puck watching in his own zone.

Yeah I think the Canucks have more skill up front and a stronger overall d core but the Habs have price who is typically better than miller. Habs youth is much further along than the canucks tho ....put the Habs in the west and they probably don't make the playoffs but the Canucks in the east do
- Redmile247

Not this year. Miller seems to get better the more involved he is in the game (lots of shots). Corsi that Botchford. Price is a great goalie, but they rely on him too much.

I do think WD needs to get Lack more games as he needs the game action experience and Miller will need the relief if he is to be the go to guy if we actually make the playoffs.

Thats what happens when you think first rounders are for a redraft. Didnt know that we'd be coming into this year with the same rosters when I traded away all my talent O well, I screwed up. Totally thought I was going to have Nuckers lineup going into this season.

It was a rude awakening.

Tell me what your needs are? By the looks of it you're weak at center but have a few good dmen...maybe we can work something out.

I am all for tdl deals of ufa's that won't be resigned.

Unless some trades are made before hand to shore up the defense, making the playoffs is great but I don't see a Stanley Cup in this team's future as it sits now.

Tanking to get McDavid is a wonderful idea if it is realistic, but this team isn't that bad (I know, I didn't see McDavid mentioned, but he is the golden goose). It looks like Horvat and Virtanen will be our highest picks since the Sedins for the next while.

Just like someone was mentioning re the Sharks can't afford to trade superstars and lose fanbase, the Canucks after one season without playoffs have to work on selling tickets to fans who want to go see games that the Canucks can win.

In the pole, I still voted wild card team. Still wouldn't mind if we missed the playoffs and got a better pick, but believe we will be in the playoff hunt right to the end of the season.
