What are the Canes adding? Hansen is worth insanely more than a 20 y/o that didn't crack an AHL roster.
- Retinalz

He is still in Junior & was very impressive at WJC.

Huh? He's not à junior....he's playing pro hockey...ie burning years of contract

Flyers are really nervous about winning tonight. They see this as a must win cause Nucks are easiest opposition to face this week. They got playoff hopes being on the bubble.

Wonder who will score first Will this be a barn burner or a bar the door affair?

He burned a year this year. AHL or NHL burns the contract. a 9 game trial means nothing for Demko anymore.

OK OK OK OK OK OK

In fact he was playing in college, doesn't allow any pro time, so he couldn't even have done a nine game trial prior to signing ELC to play on Comets

Doubt very much that Carolina would do that. We would have to add. Roy will be a good #1Centre. If Benning could do that it would be the crime of the decade.

Carolina has plans for him & Gauthier. They will be cup contenders in a couple years with the prospects and young defense they have.

No doubt there is promise there. But I heard same stuff about Avs and Jets a couple years ago. Looks like it takes more then potential and young kids.

Still is not worth Hansen straight up. He is an overager performing well in Juniors. By that logic Carl Neil is worth a 1st rounder.

Yes, this is true. Jordan Staal & Ron Hainsey are darn good veteran leaders.

Also, this team never tanked for a top pick, yet are in a pretty good position for the future. Maybe a lesson for some of the genius Canuck fans who believe only in losing will get you to be better in the future.

Go Canucks Go.

Was talking with a coworker and we realized that we see a lot of similarities between Doan and Virtanen in terms of development.
Not saying he will be like Doan, but worth holding on to to see.

He turned 20 2 weeks ago.Too young to play AHL.

I predict that the Canucks have already started their by-week and Miller pulls a groin.
- Marwood

Steath tank.

It was 1 muffin vs 1 huge muffin 😂😂
The fact Miller is better than Elliot is one reason we r so resilient.
Idc why ppl want to tank when Miller is obviously still a true starter in this league.
The Flames would luv him there i bet. 😜
Ppl not acknowledging this team has heart even though challenged talent wise is lost on so many fans. For me its a very good sign of the teams character & not the BS some claim that its a country club.
- Nighthawk

Well I know personally I've never hated on Miller. And I agree he's a better goaltender than Elliott, this year anyways.

I also know the Canucks don't do the tanking philosophy, which is why I respect them.

A lot of people here dont see it.

That, clearly, is your thing this year. Go Wideman!
- Beatle_john

Um sure.

Please provide some examples and maybe I'll agree with you. Otherwise your just blowing smoke.

For the record I think your one of the better more level headed posters, so I'm not just trying to kick up dust here.

Beatle and level headed do not belong in the same sentence.

Best Option: Trade Miller for a 2nd or 3rd and resign him in the summer for 2/3rd the contract.
- Beatle_john

That happens VERY rarely however, that the traded player goes back to the same team next year...

To be fair that's from Flamin's perspective

you wouldn't be saying that if you heard the coverage on the Leafs v Canes game.

The Mathews worshipping on his goal is so thick I think it could be used for material for Trump's wall.

He is on a whole other level. Still love him though;
