Hronek is a decent add. If they can sign him for six mil then it will be a good trade.

Well I guess it’s a bad trade

I've heard the Habs have the next dozen greatest defencemen in hockey history coming. They will have a log jam of defenders next season.

Flames are also losing right now.

I don't even know who plays for the Habs so I can not confirm or deny.

It's like Ben Hutton and Troy Stechers. They only look good because defence has been poop for so long and there isn't anything better on the team but in reality they aren't good.

Drance and Dhaliwal:

"Jake Guentzel and Jordan Greenway are two names that we’re keeping an eye on in connection with the Canucks"

"there’s a couple of right-handed defenders with local ties that we’ve been told to look out for, including Tanev and Fabbro."

Good bye all picks over the next 3 seasons.

Between IR and dead money (buyouts, retained salary and recapture) the Blackhawks are currently carrying cap hits for *15* players who are not available to play for them

Canucks could help them out.

Good bye all picks over the next 3 seasons.

If they win, it’ll all be worth it!!

It was a great trade regardless, they have a much better mix of players now and they’re winning because of it. Well that and coaching.

Drance and Dhaliwal:

"If the team decides to go big, then the Canucks’ 2024 first-round pick and some of their top prospects — but, based on our sense of the matter, probably not World Junior Championship MVP Jonathan Lekkerimäki and Tom Willander — would have to in play"

They have other top prospects?

Good bye all picks over the next 3 seasons.
- manvanfan

Does not need to be draft picks.

Could be something like ( does not have to be the exact names)

Kuz and DPetey for Jake G
Garland for Tanev
Juulsen for Fabbro (Who is not having a great year)
Greenway for Podz or Hogs.

First part is bang on. As Kman pointed out yesterday Flames have not lost in 2024 and are coming on as are the Oilers.

Jets Canucks Oilers Flames playing well

Leafs Sens and Habs not so much.

Yes they have.

He spoke the truth yesterday. They went five days in the year 2024.

Before we get all negative that may be their best winning streak of this entire new year.

Ya I know it was a great trade. Just laughing at the thought of Hronek signing for $6MM.

They have 3 prospects with value and the rest are close to worthless

Not worth it.

lol a figure of speech bud but really yourself and many others in here commented on how Horvat would 'disappear' for multiple games at a time. It's not like it wasn't common knowledge around Bo being a Nucks fan. Oh, and I never advocated for Hughes to be the captain, but that's the direction the team went.

I don't expect Hughes to 'lead' like Bo should have completely different leadership styles from what I can see so far. But I also don't find it weird that the club is doing much better under Hughes' leadership and with Bo gone. Says alot IMO. Bo had the ability to lead in many different capacities but he chose the pansy path. Is what it is man. I appreciated his contributions here but was massively disappointed with Bo as Captain. And, in turn, with Bo gone the room looks to be much tighter as well which again to me, says alot. But hey all good now Bo can skate to the bench in NYI while his 'buddies' are being manhandled on the ice.

You did say you thought it should be Hughes for Cap before he was named. I made a similar comment. No worries. Irony....

Aatu Raty not even in the top 10. Really...

Boeser is not a top 6 player. Both Miller and Ep play with bottom 6 scrubs. The team has a long way to go

What happened to "The window is now! Get on board or stfu"

If someone was to group your posts together, it would look like two people arguing with polar opposite opinions.

It’s funny, the Jets got rid of Wheeler and Pierre Luc-Dubois, two of their better players, but locker room cancers, and they got better. You just gotta find the right mix, but you can still be talented with different players. Kind of like when the Canucks got rid of Horvat and brought in Filip Hronek

What about Raty? Many were calling him our top prospect. He's not even making the short list which is B level or lower if we are honest.

He is just alright in my books. Nothing special.

The name I liked on that list that Mini mentioned is Greenway. Big kid who would fit nicely with Joshua.

I don't care much for C Tanev, I think Juulsen has done a fine job as of late, but I do like his brother's game when he is not injured.

I think a bottom six of Greenway Tanev Lafferty Blueger Suter Joshua would be a fun bit of business.

Carson Soucy will return to the lineup Saturday, Rick Tocchet confirms.

Nikita Zadorov dinged up, day-to-day. Won’t play Saturday.

Kuzmenko draws back in, replacing Linus Karlsson. #Canucks
