I’m looking forward to page after page of waiver wire players who the Canucks should claim.

I agree with playing the kids this shortened season, who even knows what the following year will bring. Some good UFA's may be watching and waiting for a long time, there's nothing wrong with a price-reset in a bad market. GM's have the hammer, agents aren't in a good place.

And there's this...

The #Canucks have checked in with the agent for UFA D Sami Vatanen.

Just kicking tires.

Yup, at this point it would have to be a deal JB couldn't refuse, which is unlikely.

Hopefully someone with a bit of grit. This team is the softest in the division...by far.

I think this is the first time since the introduction of the cap, that I am happy to have minimal, if any capspace.

Yup, my biggest complaint about this group.

Ironic that a 'meat & potatoes' guy is the GM of a team sponsored by Dove soap.

Palm Bay can be a cruel mistress.

I doubt this team has anyone who could stand up to Gaudreau or Marner, never mind someone like Darnell Nurse or even Erik Gudbranson.

It saves Benning from himself and it forces them to promote from within.

He hasn't seemed to grasp the concept that you need skill players and grit players, preferably players that combine both of those attributes.
He isn't the only though, we see many posters on here who are the same way.

One of the meanest defensemen in the league with some nice skill.
Pronger-lite.

Eventually you have to let some of these prospects sink or swim.

Brenden Dillon would have been a nice pickup but again it's the $$ thing.

He would be although I prefer Canucks draft and develop their own.

Before the season ended last year some of these kids were looking really good in Utica. They've earned a solid look with the big club before anyone else gets signed.

Hey gang,

I won't post again till Friday, so let me use this space to wish you all a safe and happy New Year. Here's hoping for a good 2021 — whatever that looks like.

New blog is up. We've got a Podkolzin vs. Costmar showdown tonight — and the Canucks maaaaaybe do need to try to find a way to shore up their depth on D, don't they?

#teamwhiner talking cap issues??

One of the softest guys on the team (Tanev ) is gone and replaced by Schmidt. I don't believe he is soft.

Brock and Sutter are soft and they are probably playing their last year here. Stecher was on the soft side gone.

I think Canucks now have more guys on the team that will fight than they have had in the last decade. Myers Roussel Jake Mackewen JTM Bo Beagle have all answered the bell , unlike the old days where Marchand was allowed to speed bag Daniel while his twin brother watched.
