Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I know Podz hasn't turned in to the scorer most expected but his rookie season he had 26 points, 14 of those goals. He looked like a guy who could play in the league. This years almost-literally-no-offence is more of an outlier, not the player we have. Him with Miller and Boeser is a great idea.. ii...

I think I read somewhere they were targeting Saturday for Demko.. but that would be the oilers and sounds crazy. I hope I just made that up.

all a much easier problem to deal with when Kuz was still considered a 40 goal scorer..

Something has to give though - we can't keep shipping out 39 & 40 goal scorers for hopes and dreams that someone will fill their spot. Scoring has been a bit of an issue since the break, and likely going forward as the bottom 6 was playing way outside their ability. I get the cap issues, but scorer...

. It's early in the practice, but; Brendan Batchelor@BatchHockey Brock Boeser and Tyler Toffoli are in blue jerseys at morning skate (which usually denotes the top six). Eriksson, MacEwen and Virtanen are all in white. I think Boeser might be back in. Stay tuned for line rushes. #Canucks 10:27 AM ·...

Re-sign Markstrom (without an NMC). 15 months from now decide which one of Marx/Demko you want to protect. We're going to lose an asset in the X-draft, if they choose the goalie we don't protect, fine. Exactly right, we’re gonna lose somebody, no point in doing something stupid like Florida, if the...

I don’t get this. Why is everyone so sure they will absolutely pick a goalie from Vancouver? :| If Marky is exposed, I believe he will be the best exposed goalie by a long shot. If Demko is looking like he's ready to be a full-time starter in 21/22, he will likely be the best exposed goalie. Every ...

"Gillis never drafted any one of value, making the picks worthless"

"I can't believe Gillis traded his worthless draft picks for (what turned out to be) worthless players"

Total speculation but could it be that they simply knew his reputation personality-wise and didn't want that in the organization? They've constantly talked about getting good personalities on the team. Usually more towards leader-type personalities I think, but I could certainly see them thinking he...

Linden Vey is about as valuable as a used condom So ESQ would you just deal all the picks under round 2 for washed our prospects like Vey and Pedan etc? The Pearson acquisition was undoing a horrible shitty trade. I’m glad to have him but I would have taken a 7th to unload Gudbranson at that point....

Would you say the same thing about Rick Rypien?

Theres still another season til expansion isnt there? Yeah but I don't think you want to wait until everyone else is trying to offload their players they also can't protect. Maybe this summer there's a market for him that actually gets you a decent return. Ideally we dont lose an A level asset for ...

I can see the seagulls taking him and both teams end up happy. 4 year deal sounds about right Trading would be a better option but goaltenders value is always the issue. What other goalies will be as good as Marky (and available)for the expansion team to take ahead of him? Sounds like a good way to...

Demko has been merely human the past few and I believe it is a good peak at why we need Marky to sign an extension. This is no slight against TD...he has been very impressive this year. So you keep Marky over Demko? I doubt Marky signs for 1 year.. why would he? And then I think you have to trade D...
