I suspect it would be a temp solution at best while they shop for a good trade.

Of course if your coaches are reluctant to give a player top 6 ice time who isnt up to their standards away from the puck, they will just end up on the 4rth line and a safer player from the 4rth line will be plopped in the top 6. So in the end, it makes little difference. Not just that, but the offensive player from the farm will be judged by his out of role performance on the 4rth line in the end.

Coaches drive me crazy sometimes.

Yeah, I don't think there is anyone on Abby ready to fill a top six spot. Just having a little fun. They need to trade for a top six.

Idk why RT expects Kuz to be the scorer he was last season & add good D & forechecking to meet his standards. That’s asking a lot of Kuz instead of getting out of him what he did last season. Kuz went downhill into RT’s doghouse pretty quickly. The 3rd wheel & Petey should be able to pick the slack. As the 2nd line I see nothing wrong with their chemistry & scoring of last season. Miller & Boeser have picked it up after last season with the 3rd line playing great.

Sometimes as a coach you have to use what you have & not a player into what he isn’t. If not then a trade has to happen & on his own he’s not getting top value back.

So let Kuz cherry pick?

Petey’s line isn’t doing well on zone entries &/or the forecheck. JT’s line does better at it. The consistency is lacking & imo Lafferty is good for entries with his speed backing off the D. Miky doesn’t look to be fully up to speed like his old self. Just looking like ops has figured Petey out & his tendencies is to pull up & not drive unless in the middle where too often checked off the puck.

Improving zone entries by adding two bottom 6 wingers to that line has failed. No matter what, your focus will be singular. Only when Petey was playing at a unsustainable level was RT getting away with it. This team has a depth issue. The top 6 is more of a issue than the RHD right now regardless of how many people are stuck on that narrative.

👍

The revolving door wingers doesn’t help but Petey has to figure it out & drive the play better. He hasn’t been a great threat often enough & of late, past 12-15 games, it’s obvious. Adding to that his wingers have to be on the fly giving Petey options. My issue with that is he likes to slow down the play & imo control the puck too much reducing options.

Not exactly but be the F3 more often.

Petey and Likker are going to be a thing after the SHL finishes. There will be videos of them fishing and boating in the Summer. They will let Nils tag along. PA has it all figured out.

Agree Petey doesn’t have an ideal pair of wingers but I’m not seeing Petey driving play either. I don’t blame cheaper wingers & let a high paid C off the hook. His production 5v5 is nothing great while living off of PP points which has slowed down affecting his production also. He doesn’t get greasy goals often & misses or misfires on many shots.

Lastly I’m not down on Petey no matter how it sounds. My expectations are another matter.

Something like that lol

Seriously though we lack a top 6 power winger that can produce. Pod isn’t there & nothing else in the system.

Bring back Toffoli.

I like how Buchnevich plays if Kuz or adding could get him. Buchnevich would highly sought though.

Any others that could be in the picture?

Chandler Stevenson as a UFA if cap space gained to sign him?

Bring back Toffoli.

Yup that was an eff up letting him walk.

Well there was floods going on so we can give JB a pass on that. He was busy.

Not down on Petey?

Your need for blame, judgement, narratives of character assassination, singular focus, salary beef, the Miller vs Petey narrative and all your other lashing out says otherwise. Not to mention how this started only a period and a half of Petey's play falling off when they played Ottawa the first time this season. He ended that game with 3 points and the game winner in the end. You were calling for a benching before he took over the game in the 2nd half. Sorry, I'm not buying your claim you are not down on him. That ship has long sailed.

Brain flood 🤪

Other than JB the front office or lack off was a big problem.

So was not trading Kuz at the TDL. Got him for nothing... had a dump truck of goals, entry level contract that any playoff team could fit, was due for a 5x raise.... Canucks were out of the playoff pic.

Big miss on that one.

There salaries are based on a full season, not a percentage of a season, so to say they are getting x amount per point when they haven't yet accumulated a full seasons worth of pay, or production is kinda incorrect.

Also, I don't really need capfriendly to figure out some basic math

We could always do expected and projected point totals, but I'm sure you'd whinge about that too

Canucks Juniors notes from Pronman:

Jonathan Lekkerimaki, RW, Vancouver (Sweden)

This tournament was some of the best and most consistent hockey I’ve seen from Lekkerimaki. Everyone knows he’s a very skilled player and has a great shot. Those elements were often on display, making a lot happen around the puck and being lethal for Sweden on the power play. What I liked more from Lekkerimaki was his effort. He was often engaged without the puck, winning one-on-one battles and creating his own opportunities. At times I’ve thought he was a low-effort perimeter shooter, but I was quite intrigued by the way he played when pressure was the highest for Sweden.

Sweden’s blue line

As I write this, I don’t know who the IIHF will name the top defenseman in the tournament. I presume it will be someone on Sweden. Their defense unit was the best part of their team, but I personally didn’t see one name rise above the rest. Elias Pettersson (VAN), Mattias Havelid (SJS), Theo Lindstein (STL), Tom Willander (VAN), Elias Salomonsson (WPG) and Axel Sandin Pellikka (DET) all played well. All six of those players skate well, moved pucks efficiently and competed hard. Sandin Pellikka provided important power play offense. Lindstein was a story of the tournament coming in as an injury replacement and being a top player for Sweden. Pettersson, Salomonsson and Willander were very solid defenders who made life tough on opponents and Willander’s skating often stood out.

Next test up is NJD who’ve had our number for awhile. Going to take a hard working 60mins from all.

NJ playing right now. We get them on a 2nd of b2b. Should be no excuses about travel.

I would go to the farm team an get a top six forward from them.

Fuck that, bring on the Liquor, or Lickher, either way is fine by me.
