At other times I fantasize about Loui retiring/refusing to report to Utica = suspension/mutual contract termination.
I do think that Nikita will end up being a solid #4 in the NHL...

I like to think TrampKing would be enough to unload Loui after his bonus is paid in July
... but I imagine that depends on what kind of season Nikita has this year.

Myers is 29 for a few more monthsDoyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 12:08 pm Either way they need some good young D men coming up through the pipe. In the new year:
Benn -33
Edler-34
Myers-30
Tanev- 31
Hughes is great, the entire board think 25 year old Stecher is a trash can but 24 years old Teves and Rafferty with their combined 20 games of AHL experience are God’s gift.
Juolevi is apparently struggling big time in the A and Brisebois and Chatfield suck shit. They need some young guys to push the old ones in the next couple years.

Re: Canucks Young Guns
Lack of quality defensive prospects has been vancouvers weakness for the entirety of their existence and is a primary reason for the 50 years of futility.
We have a few decent prospects but none that are looking like a top pairing level.
Thank fuck for Quinn Hughes is all I can say. Thats a grand slam homerun and probably will end up being vsancouvers best ever defenseman

Gillis isn’t the manager anymore. Focus on the present if you are able.

I have a lot of patience and I see a mediocre pool of guys most teams can trot out there.

Chef- get rid of Stecher he’s done at 25. Can’t improve.
Rafferty is the shit at 24. Hilarious, keep on keeping on.
