i think we're a bit better than bottom 5 for most of the season.
But i hope we are out of the playoff race and move some players for assets at the tdl again, if anyone is dumb enough to bite.

I think an improved PP could offset the difference btwn miler and marky/nilsson.

Any possible PO race starts inter-division.
Do well & we r in the hunt.
Likely not so go from there.

It's funny how quiet it is in here today.
Too many people happy with JBs moves, or too many people wearing socks with sandals and rocking maple leaf tattoos acting life goofs?

For sure. It would be nice for once to get that one generational impact player, but realize that Bettman would never let that happen..

Benning now has 15 1st round picks within the organization, at least 11 should be in next seasons line up.

I know that's bait for Nighthawk but here's a spoiler into Green's dream:

Danny Hank Gagner
Sven Bo LE
Granlund Sutter BB
Rodin Burmistrov JV
Boucher

Edler Stecher
Hutton Tanev
MDZ Guddy
OJ Wiercioch

Tandem Marky & Nilsson

Comets shuttle prospects like Goldy & Dahlen up.

Have him shuttling up from Comets. Believe BB will edge him out at start cause they will want his right shot for PP. But you know players will falter or get injured and Goldy plus others from farm come in hungry with game.

Spoiler on Comets for shuttle eligible* and depth development.

MacEwen* Dahlen* Goldy*
Molino* Gaunce* DD
Labate Chaput Megna
Carcone Cassels LaPlante
Stewart

Pedan Biega
McEneny* Subban*
Holm Chatfield
Brisebois Sautner

Demko & Bachman

Best thing for young Comets to develop into NHL hopefuls is to have leadership C&A by two lunch pail no nonsense vets like DD & Biega.

THN has us as July 1st' big losers.

LOSER – VANCOUVER CANUCKS



http://www.thehockeynews....-day-1-of-nhl-free-agency

It's not confusing. A few stop gaps at reasonable salary and wide open trade options. Help on the terrible PP... a GT to fill a hole....duh... Not hard to believe that some of these guys will be picks in a couple of seasons either. No big signings like previously... seems THN is more confused by ignorance than anything else.

- boonerbuck

well we've always known tsn is full of clowns

They are leafs fans so its no wonder they write crap like that

JB going to look even better by 2018 too. Possible IF prospects develop and Sedins retire. Then LE, Sven, & Edler plus stop gap vets traded for more picks. Leaving $$ for splash UFA's to guide youg gun era.

E. Kane Turris Gagner
Grany Bo BB
Goldy Sutter JV
Dahlen EP Gadjovich
Lind - note 19yro's barred from AHL kept to develop with Green then CHL.

Tree Tanev - KHL out clause to form T&T top pair.
MDZ Guddy

So same players except for DD and Guance can pass waivers. OJ barred from playing in AHL why sticks now for pro challenge. Then if Tree back in 2018 OJ could go down for more time and shuttle up. Check above posts out and rosters to see how it could play out. See for Comets why DD makes better sense there. Useless for scoring and just takes penalties if kept up but leads development if sent down.

That's why I get so annoyed with him, one of the reasons anyways, he should've been collecting picks all along to try and improve his odds of getting a good young player.

If two of those kids he drafted this year have good NHL careers it will have been a good draft.

Sedins to Nashville?

Joking . As I said a few days ago they should stick around as Ambassadors for the Canucks and the young Swedes. I think I counted 10 of them the other day including the twins

lol…they will resign here for at least one season to play on the third line. But it would be nice to have them as Canucks employees after they retire. I'd like to see Burrows back here as well as an employee of some kind also.

JB Has done a good job with the draft and free agency, however the end result will still be close to what it was last year. Build on.

I have to disagree on everything. Time to move on . Replace Hank in free agency and have Gagne Sutter . Daniel can easily be replaced.

Our game should be all about speed not memories of old combatants.

I have said it a few times .This team would look good with Turris Bo and Petterssen in 2019
