True.
But he also gets pp time.
I'm just saying its a bit skewed to compare to Kessler at the same points in their careers.

Kessler was 3rd liner shut down guy early on. WCE and sedins had the PP time

Bo is playing above his pay grade this year and has done great imo. But he gets more offensive opportunities.

Bo & Kesler is also a poor comparison with different skill sets & style.
Ppl comparing the 2 only see stats.
Bo is progressing perfectly fine👍🏻👍🏻

I am loving how he uses his size and reach.

Tree and Hutton look to be fantastic finds.
- dbot

Tree uses his stick very well

Canucks have been playing good for a few games now. Basically since Hansen came back.

That and the Toronto effect where players inexplicably play better when eliminated from playoffs.

Agreed.
I think Bo has a higher ceiling tbh.

I like how he plays n his future here looks very bright.
Luv his character n prolly future captain material.

Rethinking on Hansen idk if any trade makes us a better team.
He is simply too good & valuable for us no matter what his next contract is.
Going forward idk if any player we have can mentor & lead the kids like he can.
If he can rub off on the kids especially JV & Etem We look great.

JM needs to watch Hank & emulate him with the work ethic & conditioning.

I like winning. Sorry I'm not sorry tankers>

I don't think that's possible. We will still be bottom 3.

Whatever happens half the people will freak out and desperately try an assign blame. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Should be a number of pissy people today after 2 wins in a row.

I kinda zoned in on McCann last night, his confidence with the puck was better last night, I liked that. He usually tries to get rid of it soon after he gets it, some growth in his game, finally!

The team played well last night, I'm sure that win felt good for them!

Let's try to be the non playoff team with the most points collected after officially being eliminated! Then we are the most honorable tanking team.... and will get 1st OV. That's how that works, right?

I did with Hamhuis. He was solid.

Hamhuis has really upped his game lately, We have to many LHD, i wouldnt mind resigning him if we could trade Edler, but thats unlikely so Hamhuis maybe gone

Problem is hamhuis is a shutdown guy. He gets no points.

We havet strung 3 together all year. Some people are always negative. Its life.

Thats true, we have enough of that in tanev, Im hoping Benning goes hard for an offensive RHD to play the top line, I like Hutton and Tanev as a pair more then Edler Tanev. Plus with a solid off season and training camp im excited to see Tryamkin next year

Let's hope he works hard in the offseason. Seems like conditioning will be the biggest hurdle. The potential is quite exciting.

Exactly, hopefully he can learn english to so its easier for them to communicate on the ice. But its nice to have someone other teams cant push around

And Henrik has been gift wrapped PP minutes and offensive zone starts his whole career.

Why is it so mind numbingly hard to give a player a compliment without it being dissected apart on these boards.

Bo has been a very pleasant surprise for the Canucks and anyone who thinks otherwise is dumb.

Bo's +/- is atrocious. He is amongst the most useless sophomores in the league. They should send him to Utica for a few years.

First off the original comment was a comparrison of stats.

Secondly Bo is being moulded into a shut down second line centre that puts up numbers. Who else plays that style? Oh yeah Kesler

This is true Utica will be very crowded next year , apparently Hutton has minus 21 , same with Bartowksi and Vrbata -17.

You are right Marwood .
