I think we've also disagreed on how to value dmen going back to the Sedin prime days so I'll just say agree to disagree and leave it at that

Wasn't there a post the other day about how Canucks D are worst in the league for goals?

When Tanev was a Canuck he averaged 50 games a year and averaged two goals a year and 7 assists a year. Our team in the later years of his term were always poor on goals against.

textbook open ice hit

Him, Schenn and Myers are playing a nice physical game so far.

Tanev was really good here in my opinion, I think the Flames like him too

Hawks are one of the few teams that the Canucks might actually be able to push around lol

Tanev was and still is a good defenseman. Some people look and points as some type of way to judge a defensive defenseman. Lol

He was arguably the best defenseman on the team his last year in Van. Can't complain about his game his last few years here. The lack of scoring by the D wasn't his fault, we all saw Hughes excel offensively while playing beside him.

I mean the team is 3-4-3 in their last 10 games so I'd say the decent run ended after the Christmas/covid break.

That run we faced top teams & didn’t get points mostly. Tells me changes are coming fir that reason. It was a gauge JR & PA can use to get pieces going forward.

Flames sucked last year same as us. They are better this year but look who they added Gudbrandson and Zadorov

Sutter getting a full training camp was big for the Flames, but yeah he's arguably the best coach in the league at coaching big/physical dmen. Hell of a coach

Garland playing well, upping that trade value

He requested out, they told him to play well, to see who bites.

Lol

The roster construction as it currently stands, as well as the state of the AHL team is absolute hot garbage. Trotting out a 3rd pair defence of some form of Burroughs, Hunt, Poolman and Schenn (who to be fair has been decent) is freaking laughable. Alex Chiasson has played most games. Justin Dowling has gotten minutes. They have 2 absolute boat anchor contracts in defencemen who on a really good team are a 3rd pair (able to play 2nd pair minutes in a pinch). I’m sorry but that’s not okay for an NHL team who has playoff aspirations (beyond squeaking in and becoming cannon fodder for Colorado or Vegas).I know Canuck fans in general tend to overrate their own players but I’m not sure how fans want this team to improve WITHOUT making some bold moves.

I’m more worried about lil Johnny being the reason why


Last few playoff years
19 GP
4 Goals
6 Assists
10 Points

Basically goes from a PPG guy to half lol. Pretty concerning for a one dimensional small skilled winger
