York Newbury: Canucks Win Unconvincingly over Hawks

Great job Yorkie... from what I watched, Soucy couldn't pass the puck in the first period. I saw almost 7 giveaways in the first 10 minutes from him alone. He was really fighting the puck hard and it makes me wonder if he might be injured. We really need to get another top 4 defenseman because beyond Hughes and Hronek, there ain't much to be happy about.

The Soucy-Myers pairing has been a shell of what they were last year. They would be great as a 3rd pairing right now... but not a fit as the 2nd pair to date.

Brannstrom has been a great addition for what was a cap throw in, but it's not enough.

Would be happy to see them target Rasmus Anderson as a solid 2nd pair guy. MacKenzie Weegar's name was also floated by Kuzma I think. Marcus Pettersson from Pitts has been mentioned but I think there's better options out there, plus they need someone on the right side more.

Weegar would be good, but I don't know that Calgary would send him us without something more than our 1sts, 2nd and a throw in prospect. Rasmus Anderson would be more obtainable but again, you'd think Calgary would know how badly we need a top 4 D and try and gouge Alvin. Maybe try to pry either Fabbro or Severson from Columbus? Fabbro would be really good and despite Severson's defensive shortcomings handles the puck very well.

Conroy hasn't been getting kings ransoms for their players, but yes they'd still get a haul for either one. I think Hoglander will be dangled as a trade chip this year... seems to be up and down in Tocchet's books and keeps getting pushed down the lineup. Still has a lot of value at the moment.

Thanks Yorky.

Yes they better have banked their energy for the Preds. As the just enough effort against the Hawks won’t cut it.

RT better figure out how to get them to start strong. Bottom 4D other then the surprising Brannstrom not cutting it.

Allvin needs to fix the D.
