AHL D

General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that D Tucker Poolman has been placed on injured reserve, and D Guillaume Brisebois has been recalled from Abbotsford (AHL).

Which is what pisses everyone off. It's going to get real ugly for VAN if they lose again tonight.

Good.

Boudreau = Scapegoat

Elliotte: Think we all have to admit that Van has got to be looking for another coach. Doesn't mean they're going to do it but they have to be looking at it... Boudreau has rep of somebody who makes players comfortable. If they make a change, wonder if they go exact opposite way.

Canes are a really solid team. Best hope is that they’re tired at the end of a road trip across the continent

Wonder if JR has an eye on any of their players?

With Poolman and maybe Hughes out the D is pretty thin. I'd prefer another D instead of Bear.

Elliotte: If there's a year for Vancouver to tank it's this one because it's Connor Bedard. If I ran the Canucks right now, I would be sitting there and saying do we just mail this one in and go for Bedard?

I said it during the last game, he will be franchise-altering. The thing is, the Canucks have been scoring goals and getting leads in their games, which indicates they will eventually start racking up some wins. The question is how do you make sure the tank works? How do you prevent finishing with the 10th best lottery odds?

So let me get this straight, team defense sucks so our management group is looking at one of the worst defensive teams in the league for answers? Holy crap.

It's like Benning has never left.

Not sure I buy that. Yotes are asking for the moon apparently.

I’m thinking more like a Connor Murphy(not saying I’d want to give up futures for him but just throwing his name out as a guy who’s more in the Canucks price range in a trade).

And yes, chances are that only bad teams will be selling decent defensemen because good teams probably want to keep theirs to make the playoffs.

Who knows. Canucks go from one shitshow to the next. That's the canuck way...

Good Canuck player impression

Has any posted this yet?

"Let’s look at Vancouver’s five-year offensive production at even strength. Despite this talent across the lineup, they haven’t cracked league averages once. In fact, they are as sure a bet as any to finish in the bottom third of the league offensively – certainly in the Pettersson (2018-present) era."

According to Ek. So they aren’t looking at Chychrun.

That’s a bs rumour

Elliotte: The fans there clearly blame this on ownership. They say ownership doesn't want the rebuild and I would agree, I think that's true.
- VanHockeyGuy

Aquilini doesn't want a teardown. As long as he's here it most likely wont happen. Unless Rutherford gets photos of FA with someone lol

They’ll bounce back either way unless Demko has an off-year. He keeps them in too many games that they deserve to lose.
- Nucker101

Hopefully that version of Demko shows up soon as yipes...Some Marky Muffins in those first 6 games. Needs to steal one tonight with a SO.
