Scoring and grit.

Team needs a number one center to be able to compete in the future, Auston Matthews is that guy!

We're getting Mathews, trust me [/img]

11.5 % chance for Mathews

23% chance Laine or Puljujarvi

65.5 % chance Sergachev

I would not be shocked to see Etem Bo Boeser third line next year

Where is Bloated? I wasn't done yelling

If Etem can start next season like he just finished this season, I think that could be a great line.

Still wondering how Baertchi and Sutter will play together?

Assuming the lines look something like (and BB signs):
Sedins Hansen
Baertschi Sutter _____
Etem Horvat Boeser
Dorsett Granlund ____

JV, JM, starting in Utica? Burrows back?

or if Boeser doesn't sign, Rodin will be playing in that 3rd line wing spot (I forgot about Rodin)

11.5 % chance for Mathews

23% chance Laine or Puljujarvi

65.5 % chance Sergachev

I'll be cheering for 2nd and not first. I think Laine has by far the highest ceiling

That's the one I am hoping for also

I don't see burrows back , crazy to pay top line money to fourth line player.

I also see JV JM sent to Utica . Don't forget Rodin

Yes, if you get top pick you have to select Matthews...he is guaranteed to be a high end center. Laine could be more

I'd be surprised if McCann isn't traded this summer. Benning isn't sold on him in my opinion

If the Canucks don't plan on using all that cap space, I can see Burrows back. But if they make a splash with a trade or something and need the space-cap or roster, he won't be back.

I'd rather see Burrows back than Higgins. and will be disappointed if it is the other way around. but if both aren't back, that is fine.

I am getting that feeling too. Just a hunch

I've been waving that flag for months. He's the 5th center on a team that is deep in only one position, unless he moves to wing in Utica next year maybe. I do like his speed and shot though.

You have players available in UFA that could help why wait an extra year.

Our forward slots are over crowded as it is why bring him back. I think there was a message and acknowledgement last night between player and fans.

JM being the trade chip this offseason, that comment was meant to be a response to you so I'm glad you asked
