He's decent but I'd rather replace him with a Canadian player with a similar point structure and the right hand shot.

We only have three Canadians on the entire roster. It's a problem.

Fact.

Yup. Shouldn't even be NHL Hockey in Columbus.

Said like a person that's never been to Ohio.

The debates going around the Canucks is how to keep players. Management is more focused on where to allocate the money.

Bringing back the same team that lost is both unrealistic and asinine.

I have no issues with management being ruthless.

They are absolutely going to count on 2-3 players graduating to the NHL next season., including lekkerimaki and Podz.

They could actually add a couple more. Adding a power forward to the top 6 would do more to change this team than anything. There's some youth that could see playing time towards the end of the season as well.

1st up is the D & big guys again.
Leki if a great camp Pod likely it’s D Petey that has me most curious.

Yes they have to make decisions on D as only couple signed. Then forwards on upgrading for top 6.

No way they wait until camp to figure things out.

Yeah power forward is a hard task to get. They are probably losing Dak making it even more of an issue.

Lots of talk Guentzal is management target.

Offseason Listerine drinking in the morning:

Flip Hronek for assets, use those assets to get Buchnevich (retained). Resign Zadorov (5.5), Myers (2.9), Joshua (2.8), Cole (1.5). Sign Guentzel (8.5) and Pesce (6).

Buch - Miller - Brock
Hog - Petey - Guentz
Joshua - Suter - Garland
PDG - Aman - Pod

Hughes - Pesce
Soucy - Myers
Zad - Cole

Just woke up and reading to get tired again. A name never mentioned is Woo. He had a very good year and was odd man out. He may have been Abbys top RHD. He might be a dark horse.

Keep a watch on Chandler Stephenson if they can't bring back Lindholm or even Kotkaniemi (Kotkaniemi Necas for Hronek Mikheyev is a proposal that keeps popping up)

I'm sure they've also asked EP about Necas and such.

I am not pushing for Necas but Kotkaniemi and a second for Mikheyev I would consider. He has six years left but he is still a kid age 23. In two years that might be a hell of a bargain for a 2/3 line center

Some more low value bargains to look at this year Duhaimie, Chatfield, Zaitsev, Jack Johnson, Heinen Debrusk.

Yeah over-expansion is exactly what the NHL needs.

The gunslinger GM Allvin hopefully will find the right deal/match. You get the feeling something will be done sooner than later.

He needs to put on some weight, work on his skating and grow a pair.

Yep the worry here is he is the next Mitch Marner. Petey will always have decent reg. seasons until the Hockey starts getting tougher towards the PO's. This team needs Canadians not Euros.

NFU has given the GM's the go ahead. All good.

Was strange seeing the Chicago/Islanders pick trade the other day. As well as the McDonagh trade. Seems really early this year for those things.

Allvin and Ruthy move fast, hopefully some things percolating.

I wonder if they could get a real Canadian like Mitch Marner
