I always take beers hiking or skiing. Pop them in the snow and hydrate at the top 😍

I usually had a flask or a micky on me when I was skiing or out on the sleds.

I hope that Vilmer Alriksson does come over to Guelph for the next two years. Highly unlikely he goes into Allsvenskan or SHL, so might as well go to a better junior league.

It reads like he needs better coaching.

Also, I really like that Bloom trade.

He's rather big and I think just needs time to grow into his frame.

Bloom does look good, if he turns into Bains, that's decent as well but Bains was free. Bloom is a 2nd and 3rd essentially. for Richardenson not for just one pick but 2.

Also, don't forget Mitsubishi >ford

I’m sure that will be brought up many times over the years on bloom but it’s not his fault 😆

Canucks seem to be done now. Hope they don't try to force anything.

Was looking through teams and I'd say most have set rosters as well. Didn't find too many teams that could use someone like Garland. If they could it was mostly a team like Chicago or Anaheim who are rebuilding.

Around the TDL, that will change a lot. That should be the time when they decide more roster moves.

At this rate as well, Podz is probably down to the minors. Essentially have 16 forwards and 10 D fighting for spots.

- manvanfan

16 forwards, 2 NHL centres

Well I'll choose to separate the stillman trade to buffalo to the one acquiring him. Overall, bad deal most likely.

But yeah, I'm posturing with Mitsubishi right now. I want a lower price, winter tires etc. Not my first rodeo. I'm also playing the escape agains them.

This is an issue if the Canucks are serious about competing this season. I think they will try and address it. They can't go into the season with a hole in the middle like this.

Yes they can. Bluegar > Dries. They have upgraded defensively and should be able to hang around a wildcard spot. Now if they want to do anything this year, yes they need a legit 3C

Edit: you did say “competing” so we probably agree 🤢

They won’t be able to add unless they clear some more cap. Which at this point is even more costly to do.

Perhaps if Pods could be converted to play Center he could be the 3LC. He’s ahead of Raty who is supposed to grow into that role.

Vancouver will be a fun team to play against. As much grit as a melted marshmallow. At this point opposition teams will walk into our barn and do whatever they want, because there is no one to answer to and we don’t have any forwards that really hit.

Weird, Canucks ranked 8th in team hit totals and 5th in fighting majors last season. I guess perception trumps reality.

For those asking, It’s early but the Canucks have not reached out to Zadina agent.

I think Schenn accounted for most of that

Tocchet doesn't seem like the kind of coach that will take kindly to teams taking liberties with his players. We'll see.
