I see nothing at all wrong with a Bo Tkachuk Boeser top line in 4 years
- VANTEL

Tkachuk is the ideal pick for us at 5OA in my opinion. He would be my first choice.

Mine said to me the other night " I want to try something different. Take me to a place that I have never been for dinner" I grabbed her hand and brought her to the stove.

Why? I like their lineup. How could you not like:

Pavelski
Burns
Hertl
Couture
Donskoi
Jones

I would kill to have guys like Pavelski and Couture on the canucks.

We do have two players that are pretty good also . They usually make top 25 in scoring
- VANTEL

Who Ladd would only see PP time with, likely only as net front, since he's left handed

They were too good for Jr and too young for AHL. This year they are not too young
- VANTEL

No but couldn't you look at it as a step back? They will be a year older with a year under their belt. It would be kind of the same if Van sent Bo back to the AHL this year.

For some odd reason, I can't remember why. He may have done something to the canucks or I hate his name but I (frank)ing HATE Tommy Wingels.

Thornton, Marleau, Dillon, Vlasic, so many guys to like and some that could use the redemption

Not the comeback I was expecting, I was expecting the "I don't get any respect" comment, it was in reference to the delivery of the comment/joke.

Yes you could .

The proper way for most teams to develop players is for a few years in the AHL. When Benning took over he had to be creative because of the mess he was given. We had no youth . He fixed the problem now lets get back to doing it properly.

The same as having too many old guys on the roster , having too many youth is the same problem.

A team should not be injecting 10 guys under 24 onto their roster . That was well noted by the vets on their exit meeting.

I always feel the love and respect

Some are still b1tching about the Schneider trade and Kesler trade.

Hell I'm still upset about Cam Neely.

So who do you see Canucks bringing in then?
- VANTEL

Who I see and who I think they should take a look at are different stories

If I am betting, I think that list you provided has a future Canuck on there, and I don't think it will be a pretty contract and the experience will not go well.

I do think they should target a guy like Hudler, who really helped Monahan take that next step and likely could be had on an affordable contract. With the young centers like Bo, McCann and maybe Dubois, having Hudler around might have its benefits

I agree with all of it. I want them to develop the players. They went too young having JV and JM in the line up this year. Already having Bo and Having Hutton make the team, I think either JV or JM should have been sent down. Keeping one of them this season keeps some youth in the line up. JV is much more developed physically then JM. Sad they wasted a year of their ELC contracts.

Who does he replace Hank Sutter or Bo?

Money should not be the issue though, right the wrong.

- VANTEL

McCann can do down and learn to win a face-off haha. Sutter to the wing? Keep him as a PK center.

Who does he replace Hank Sutter or Bo?
- VANTEL

Hudler? He's been playing wing the past few seasons, shotgun to Monahan in CGY and then Bjugstad/Grimaldi in FLA

- VANTEL

hudler's primarily a winger.

I don't consider it a wrong. If Van had a better season then their point production would be different. Not wrong when adding youth, Van needed it. Just too much youth was the wrong. Injuries couldn't be foreseen.

TBH I don't watch Calgary

I have watched about 2 hours of playoffs . Very little interest this year.

you're missing out. the playoffs have been particularly good this year. the games and series have been fantastic. and unlike past years where i felt the best matchups and series were in the first round, the games/series have gotten better as the playoffs have progressed.
