I am not suggesting move JTM and replace his spot with Vesey.

Yeah Graovac gets injured a lot but so did Tanev until he didn't .
- VANTEL

Vesey is trash & was a cheap waiver experiment.

Graovac I like but yes cannot stay healthy. Soderberg would be cheap. Injuries & covid limited options at the time.

Another reason I would not go all in is because of the coaching system. Whatever big name bottom 6 you would bring in would look nothing like they did on their previous teams. Canucks systems are ________.

Roussel Beagle Schilling Gagner Bonino and the list goes on had more success either right before or right after their term with Canucks.

One step further...

House league

Barzal with wimpy cross checks that don’t earn a penalty,

Krejci a slash ahem spear to the junk is a $5k fine.

What a joke. A wussy like Krejci gets off with a wrist slap.

They set precedence when they gave Ovechkin the same fine, for the same spear.

As fans, we all want to see the team do better, but yes, systems are a bit of an issue.

Those are 2 pretty good hockey teams going at it.

Ya sodrrburg is another decent option. Price has to be right this time, too many overpaid players as we all know.

Yup yet when we pushed VGK folks making excuses for them.

I can remember Brandon Prust thinking that $5000 was the best money he ever spent for a cup check on Marchand. Seems to be the going rate for a while now.

Bednar out coached or Av’s getting taught a playoff lesson?

Take out the 1st game when MAF was rested & they are getting schooled. We’ll see if they have the resiliency the Canucks showed.

Makes absolutely no sense imo.
1st off a gutless slash call.
High stick with blood gets 4mins.
Dirty hockey gets ignored. Cheezy instigator calls still happen.

Bit of a streaky scoring team it seems. This is going to be a hell of a best of 3

Theres not a lot of consistency, it seems this year stands out a bit i think. Maybe they are tryimg to chamge "playoff hockey", honestly dont get it.

Lousy teams should disband & pay an expansion fee to return. Better than a rebuild is to do this.

A spear is a spear & intent to injure. No way in hell it’s anything else & why it’s a 5min major. It’s not even debatable. 4 pairs of eyes colluded against the right call.

American style sport hype meddles when convenient but will ignore to make money.

I kinda like the EPL model of teams getting moved down/up division. But its also broken cause billionaire owners. I think the league wpuld do well to get rod of some. Two teams in Florida seems insane to me.

Holy Habs.

Reminding us of last years Canucks and the PO run.

This is not aimed directly at you but you can't turn on any hockey site without seeing multiple complaints about Canucks spending big bucks on the bottom 6 and about two sentences later you see they need a 3C like Danult Lowry Kerfoot and so on.

I think first of all Canucks have three talented Cs with Bo Petey and JTM and it is easier to find a winger .

Also a player I like in the system is Cosmar who had a very good year up until injury so I don't want to lock in long term on and start all over hearing about money wasted on bottom six.

Someone said last night Graovac has earned a return and Foch should also be ready for bottom line duties in another year.
- VANTEL

Stick with Petey and Bo in the top 6 and keep Miller on the wing. Focus on a 3LC in a dedicated fashion. Neither Bo, Petey or Miller should be on third line minutes right now IMO.

I don't have the answer to what they should do but I don't think bringing in a five new five mil center that scores less than 10 goals is the answer.

Agreed. Top line healthy is good, was dominant a year ago. Bottom 6 needs work. D needs work.
