He only played in the NHL? Is there a point to your microscope? Google some tribute footage of LB. Try to prove otherwise.

Besides we were looking at potential comparisons on underdogs. Using sentiment of loss of LB and Q player Neill's underdog story of overcoming heart defect.

Looking at the leagues cellar dwellars....

We currently sit at getting 7OA.
I can only see Dallas passing us.
Maybe Arizona can also.
At best it looks like 5OA & need lotto luck to move up.

yeah, boeser or Demko is #1, Dahlen would be #3.

If slick willie doens't play the young guys way more in the last 13 games he should be summarily fired...

that's a shame you see Luc Bourdon in some devalued way.

You prefer I say he wasn't a good player or that he played to few NHL games for us to tell; as if to sully his memory

Plus you didn't even try the exorcise. Just wanted to nit pick a silly point. Then not satisfied slag off a derogatory comment.

Shame ....shame ...shame. Game of thrones has nothing on you.

A pretty good history of Dahlen. These guys do a pretty good job on prospects.

Willie said it's time to replace them....link above.
- LeftCoaster



Yeah...Why would Seidins retire early. They got hockey goals and 14M reasons to stay on. But to step back for final season. Sure. Danny may get to his 1K in points too.

As for WD if he means it, hard to tell in Botch article if true, then launch Bo and co for first line duty and PP1 please.

So many? Just one. Still slagging. I could say a thing or two more and you know it. Thought you were actually getting real on hockey talk for once.

Listen in all seriousness. What do you want to get out of LB point? He had a small sample size in the NHL? Okay. Anything else?

Thanks for that. So is the solid skating the knock on him. As in not quick enough for his size? I know I was kidding with the JG talk with Redmile. But his doing skill plays at a high tempo or rate of quickness says something. How do you see it?

I am impressed with a lot of the write ups I have read on him. At first this appeared to not be my style of player, but this is the type of player sorely needed on this team. If he can translate into a top 6 I will be a fan.
Also keep seeing nice plays from him in traffic, driving hard to net & several reports of his back checking.

Sure. Why we hope he goes to AHL ASAP. In fact see 2017 Comets start with Dhalen, Goldy, BB and JV there. Basing it on the new guys need pro seasoning and are waiver exempt too. Good for injury recall. As of now it looks like this on Nucks to start:

Sven Bo LE - as 1st line to carry team
Sedins Granlund - secondary scoring
Rodin Sutter Boucher - Nucks invested in them get shot to improve offense
Guance Chaput DD- grit and checking energy line

Skille/Cram - depending on D plan, one or both as Alts for 4th line. If IR situation for top 9 will go to Comets now to fill in.

You think that's what they are going to do too on above?

Cool. Nice take. Sounds better then Goldy. Dhalen will have to get stronger against checking of NA game. AHL is that even possible this season?

I do have doubts if dorsett will be back next season due to the surgery. Depends on the outcome of it.

Forward scenario projections on what Nucks may do over next year plus:

Start of 2017 - compete and slide out

Sven Bo LE - Sedins Granlund - Rodin Sutter Boucher - Guance Chaput DD-

After TDL 2018 - develop youth and miss playoffs on lotto pick

Sven BO LE
Goldy Sutter BB
Dhalen Granlund JV
Guance Shore Boucher

Sedins accept trade to Cup contender. Nucks take bad contract and picks and prospects. Rodin, DD & Chaput traded for picks to playoff buyers.

Entry draft 2018. LE traded for draft pick/prospect.
E. Kane signed as UFA

2018/2019 - balance 4 lines. 2017 & 2018 draft picks develop. Playoff Bubble.

E. Kane Bo BB
Sven Sutter Granlund
Dhalen Shore JV
Goldy Guance/Guadette/ Boucher

2019/2020 - Conteder on the rise with Scoring. Plus high on D & goaltending!

E. Kane- Bo BB - All you need in 1st line
Dhalen -17/18 draft pick- JV - more Scoring and JV power forward
Goldy- Gaudette- Granlund - triple G offense
Sven -Sutter -Boucher/pick - score and check

Shore/Guance extras with Lockwood in AHL.

Trade Rodin & get rid of him for good if anyone wants him.
Trade Marky if any takers for his lousy contract.
Resign Miller & a backup til Demko is ready.
