It's cool to learn about obscure players from around the world that I have never heard of before and will never hear of again.

I think the U19 Olympics ranked 23rd overall in the development of NHL players, so he's got a pretty pretty, pretty good chance

Plays regularly in Liiga.

Excellent development league.

How do you propose to eliminate teams?
- CanuckDon

There are about 10 teams that lose money every season. You could easily eliminate CAR,FLA,ARZ,NJ and the league revenues wouldn't skip a beat. Hold a draft for the players that need to relocate and up the talent level in the league. Better product. Actually the league could lose about 6 teams right now and It would be the best thing for it IMO.

Nicely done. Such a great track from the Black album. Shorter version but this guy nails it...

The Buffalo Sabres have a need at RW and are interested in Boeser.

They have plenty of cap space to pay him.

Curious what Canucks fans would be looking for in return from Buffalo in a trade for Boeser.

He's not going anywhere.

Grady Sas@GradySas·21hUnsustainable. Take the Bruce Bump out of the equation & they’re 7-6-3 in their last 16. What are the teams they’re chasing doing? Winning.

Twist the math all you want, but they have a 89% chance to miss, but go off how this is a playoff team. In the mix, sure. #Canucks

Daniel Wagner@passittobulis · Feb 17I feel like a lot of people undervalue Boeser. No, he's not the fastest skater, but he's such a smart player. He's great to watch off the puck because he always goes to the right place at the right time.

I think it would be far too easy for the #Canucks to lose a Boeser trade.
Pretty bad when Negative Dan here is saying he is undervalued.

All good man just hope. 20-10 is a tall order. Would just like to see effort is all.

What makes it more difficult is that Vegas and La and Edm and Dal are playing .600 hockey in the last 16 games also.

For the Canucks to make the playoffs, they need help. They need dumbass's in La and Vegas not to go to extra time.

Well LA will hit reality and the Flames will cool off a bit. They've been lucky with no injuries so far. EDM starting to play better under Woodcroft. But yes the 3 point games will be killer and the Nucks chances are brutal. But, just want to see them try hard...if they fall short at least we'll have Miller here to lead the team next year.

Rutherford said he would give them a chance. It would be real nice if Rutherford could turn water into wine like VGK trading a 5th round pick for Chandler Stephenson. 4 points in 24 games turned into a half PPG player into almost a PPG player.

With Boudreau's record I hope that's the case for next year. Folks thought trader Jimmy was twitchy here...just wait lol

But you are right just tweak this roster. They've shown they can win under Bruce and Demko is progressing way faster than Markstrom ever was. We need that RHD and another depth D for next year in the bottom pairing. RHD for the top 4 would be nice.

Doesn’t really solve any problems does it? One shooter for another (potentially better). Is this a contract related suggestion? Both pending RFA, both $7.5m no?

The owners just give up their teams valued at 100’s of millions? Can anyone explain the mechanics?
