Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

So Russian rhd Ilya Lyubushkin signed with the Sabres for $2.75 x 2 last summer while JR and Allvin were busy chasing Russian forwards. Of course Lyubushkin was exactly what we needed here and much more affordable than Mikheyev. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/ilya-lyubushkin Or the 2021 off se...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

Who knows, maybe the plan is to struggle through this year and sign Klingberg next year when we can create more cap room... The homecoming of Connor Bedard . It has been written in the ancient scrolls How about this, Cuz? Canucks offer Pettersson, Lekkerimaki, their 2023 1st rounder, and JT Miller,...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

Using Fabbro as a benchmark RHD target, he's 24 through the end of the season, has two years including this one left on his contract at $2.4 million, and is an RFA without an inflated qualifying offer due when the term is up. Pretty good player, not sure where he'd rank league wide in the RHD peckin...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

Sorry bud, but smallish wingers without a ton of sandpaper really have to almost over-produce, or shows signs of becoming a player capable of it, to have the trade value to straight-up return a quality premium position player in today's NHL. I've said it multiple times here, IMO the best bet without...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

There'd have to be a pretty big add there Skyo, the Preds right side is lean without Fabbro, and even a Garland deal would need a sweetener. The Canucks would have to be dangling a Miller or Horvat, and maybe get a small add from Nashville, but RHD is such a premium position, all bets are off. Makes...

Re: Abby Game Talk October/November 2022

I saw the clip of Arseneau hitting the boards on CA, it looked pretty bad. They probably had to fix the boards after the game as well. Nielsen's off to a solid start, I think the Canucks need to offer him an NHL deal before another team does. Too bad Focht will be coming out when Dowling returns, I ...

Re: Abby Game Talk October/November 2022

Good game for Dries, the guy's a star in the AHL. Only the Nielsen goal and Juulsen winner were posted by the Canucks, a good shot by Juulsen. Efficient PP and killed 5 of 6 penalties. Looks like they were playing in the Kraken practice rink in Seattle, I guess it'll be the same venue Sunday.

Re: Road Trip Review - the first 5 games

Unfortunately it might be, the players, yes, not quite, not enough teams. They need Miller to figure it out or find a way to get rid of him, revamp and fix their special teams, and get better than average goaltending from their better than average goaltender. All that falls into place, and a deal ma...

Re: GDT: Canucks @ Wild 5pm SNP - Oct 20

Joking around aside, Rutherford keeps reinforcing how patient he is, so I don't expect any significant changes, at least not until after the next 7 games anyway. I also don't think Boudreau goes, and nor should he, Aquilini is not going to want 3 head coaches on the payroll. On Saturday, I'd put Hog...

Re: GDT: Canucks @ Wild 5pm SNP - Oct 20

On a bright note, their new 3rd jersey is getting a decent reception, and Diwali night is upcoming, so the gimmicks should be bringing in some extra cash for Aquilini.

Could be a bad case of loseritis setting in. Six of the next seven at home, they need to go on a run in the worst way.

Re: GDT: Canucks @ Wild 5pm SNP - Oct 20

How many coaches are they prepared to pay? These guys are coach killers, they'll make a change, get a bump and go on a run, come up just short, draft 15th overall. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Buffalo aren't pushovers right now either, they'll more than have their hands full on Saturday.
