Ya hoping we don't go after OEL, Hyman, Hamilton or Edler lol
- LordHumungous

What would you do roster wise?

Ok fair enough 👍

Show us what you want on D pairings. Thx
- Nighthawk

Hughes Schmidt
Rathbone - (hakanpaa, gustaffson)
Myers haminic
Juolevi


Just to reiterate what I said earlier. I think the Canucks need to spend as little as possible this year and go all in next year with LE, Beagle, and Virtanen gone.

- Nighthawk

I would choose the best 7 defensemen and the best 14 skaters, with the 2 best goalies that are under contract, to form the 23 man roster

So Schmidt will bounce back & also be a fit for Hughes.

Gustaffson is a PP specialist at best & not known for D. Hakanpaa if cheap is fine.

Switch Myers to offside why?

So you named a handful of guys you like over Hughes. I said those young core guys were all in the conversation as top end U-25 players, Hughes is frequently mentioned in this list you just posted. He may not be at the top of it right now, but he’s definitely in this mix.
- Nucker101

lol the only ones on that list that are in Hughes category are Makar, Fox, Theodore and Cychrun. The rest...

Are not.

My line isn't side specific

OEL, Hamilton and Seth Jones. N4U to provide the details.
- RealityChecker

Adding Reinhart up front is going great, as well.

Wasn't Chych the guy we wanted all year in 2016?
- Retinalz

Very few people, most wanted Sergachev. I was big on Chych for sure.

Thanks Carol. Good you included 2 quotes that jumped out at me about Sedin's management particulars.

" they still know a lot of the players in the league."
"planning for the draft, free agency and trade deadline."

Sedin's Swede influence could help sweeten UFA's Landy and Larsson to choose the Nucks. JB says he's going to be aggressive in adding size and strength.

JB is also saying they will make cap moves. So maybe they can target big name players. It would fantastic to see the jaw dropping from the cap hell crowd.

If we continue to bring back the same awful D every year, we don't deserve to improve.

Edler again logged top 4 minutes because we had no players who could, so he played way above his weight class. It's time for fresh faces, younger and faster players. Rathbone played 8 games and was unreal in his small sample size. The canucks can go younger+cheaper in the UFA market than Edler as well. It's time to move on
- Codes1087

I agree to an extent, I don't mind Edler signing cheap as insurance, but let the young guys take his minutes for sure.

Stay the course and fill the needs. 3LC if Sutter is gone and a RHD but stay away from the big UFA's for now. Just need to round things out around Hughes Schmidt Myers and it looks like Edler will be back on the back end. OJ and Rathbone should also slot in back there. WPG re worked their D around Pionk and Morrisey FFS we can sure work around what we have especially with Hughes here.

I'd like to see Beagle back but with injuries he and rousell and LE are all most likely gone. Will Benning roll with Highmore Vesey Boyd and Motte? Well the 975K crowd will be happy to be sure lol.

And FFS do NOT go BPA in this draft. If we were picking top 5 sure but man it would be nice if Hughes or Clarke fell to us but not likely.

Hits and production to go along with decent size, yes. The power forward definition has changed in 2021, way less fights and most big hits are heavily scrutinized
- Nucker101

All I can say is I'm very excited to see Pod this year

Stay what course ?


This is an unique year where teams are going to lose players to the E Draft and try to make the flat cap. In another year or two that flat cap is going to go up . Teams will also be staying the course and coming out of financial problems league wide.

If the opportunity is there this year then take it because next year it is probably going to be gone.

Ask Roussel how his leg is? If he says it feels good then kick him in the knee and ask him again .

Like him or not, he was a true leader. Hank & Bo will never be remotely close to his caliber.

Hearing coaches tall about how uncoachable he is.... great leader alright.

Hughes will become a Norris winning defenceman in the near future.

Andy was a great guy. Messier thought he was the greatest. Never seen a guy love himself more than him.
