Edler, Hughes and Rathbone on the left side, lot of guys needed on the right side. Tanev will be back IMO.

I think so too but I think Benning will see if there is a trade available .

I think maybe I didn't word it properly . I think he will be a Canuck next year bottom pairing.

I don't think he would have signed the other day without a good idea of where he is playing next year. He is an excellent passing D man with very good break out speed. Lets face it he only has to beat out Fantenberg lol.

Benn was a disappointment . I was hoping for more toughness and hits.

Juolevi....one of the worst draft picks in Canucks history

Jason Herter
Dan Woodley
Alex Stojanov
Olli Juolevi

That’s not opinion. That’s fact. Do you see any other option? I don’t think the rookies are ready just yet. UFAs? Crap shoot.

I seen some comments from Drance and JPat and everyone that talks about Juolevi finishes their sentence with a heavy sigh. All comments are similar to maybe one day he will be NHL ready but he does not look like it now.

Pretty much!

Tanev, Myers, and someone else on the right. I'm saying Rafferty. He's 25, so not exactly a kid, and played extremely well last year in the AHL after four years of college.

But no to Barrie. He'll cost too much for a team already struggling with roster decisions.

This looks dumb but look at Millers work ethic

Rafferty came in second

Looks like Jake in dead last

Agree hard no on Barrie. Hughes is the Dman we have been waiting for and once he starts winning awards...the cup won't be far behind

Rafferty has more than earned a shot but seems to get lost in the shuffle now under the shadow of the Rathbone signing.

It's not an impressive list. Virtanen might get added, we'll see.

That was Gaudette last but he started later, Virtanen is on the far side good showing

I would ask Carol what she thinks of Rafferty . From what I read they said he looks just okay. Hasn't taken chances and so far nothing separating him form other D prospects.

correct
- LordHumungous

Don't see him and Rathbone in competition then, unless the Canucks don't want to play 2 rookies, but I think they've both earned a long look.

He has been on honeymoon he has excuse

I don't know about saving money I don't expect Stecher to be getting any type of raise?
- VANTEL

I don't think he or Virtanen will be getting any sort of raise as they will be the first of the COVID contracts in the RFA's that may get the 10% raise but not much more than that. I think getting contracts in line may be a bit easier than we think as everyone has acknowledged the market already.

Juolevi is one of the Canucks highest picks in their history, higher than anyone on my list or anyone you mentioned. He may yet turn into a serviceable defenseman but he was a poor pick for 5th overall.

Unlike some, I had Virtanen at 1.8, Gaudette at 1.3 Stetcher not signed

170? Geez, my 12 year old is 5’-9” 150lbs.

Virtanen had 18 goals, had the season not been stopped he surely would've gotten to 20, that's about a 3.0 to 3.5 million dollar salary...which he probably deserves.

Only when there is some one who can clearly replace them. Never understood the desire to dump them the past few seasons. Quinn Hughes can't do it all.
- Marwood

Bang on. As said earlier the team D has to improve. Reducing getting hemmed in our end mostly.
