Agree that BB will spread out the top 9 for more scoring depth & line dynamics. The PK will load up as usual. I don’t have Dlcky top 9 in any projected libe-ups.

Why not? We have 2 Elias Petterssons. I'm really hoping for a 3rd.

Next week I’m off to go work on a dam for the 1st time at Site ‘C’. Could be there for 18mths.

Tons of walking & stairs will be a big challenge. Could be my retirement gig if I survive or if it whips me into tip top shape maybe not lol

Yeah I agree with another poster - term 'internal competition' has been used a lot in the past and I've noticed it usually means no depth. You have a bunch of lotto tickets and flyers you hope pan out to push some of the guys that are lower end or don't belong anyway.

I can get on board that a healthy top 9 with bounce back years from key guys MAY get better results, but betting on everything to go right isn't realistic for one of the most traveled teams. Call me pessimistic if you want, I just don't see a ceiling here that is beyond sneaking into playoffs if all goes right ... and if we did I'd bet it's going to take a herculian effort from demko and more attributed to that. He gonna get a lot of quality chances against again with that D.

Yeah, I agree with pessimistic. The rest not so much.

No. It is a tournament for next season and beyond, draft eligible players.

I’ve toyed with this idea…

https://canucksarmy.com/2...ng-canucks-top-nine-work/

My reasons are Pod’s tenacity & smarts. Gives him more freedom to impact & assume the bigger role of responsibilities a C faces. Could be done over time & no rush.

Lastly JR imo is patient while the market for trading develops. Don’t see this F group remaining the same by the TDL or sooner.

It’ll take patience while the market adjusts over time. Flat cap has hindered Canuck plans obviously. Ride it out & wait til injuries happen or at worst the TDL.

The Ram ad mentioned 2011 a few times, then it says 2015 low kms, but there is 244000, the Avalanche only states 144000 but it’s in Alberta.

Tough choices.

I hope the people who keep putting Pearson beside Bo in their projected line ups get crabs. The Roxy variant...

Hopefully Hoglander can improve his game there.
Also, hoping Bains can continue his upward trend.

Solid defensively, continually produces at 0.5 ppg, wins board battles, goes to the net, strong on his skates.
For a team that is in win now mode, he will be in the top 6.
