Don’t kid yourself, man for man they are a more skilled 12 man groupThe Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 7:18 am That is basically a lunchbucket group Chef.
The difference is their group goes out armed with the 3 man forecheck game plan and our team goes out without a plan to counter it. They just fumble and fuck around while the lunchbucket habs execute their plan.
Green should be punted like tiny troy
Remove Miller Boeser Horvat and Hoglander our skill set and speed is pretty awful

Well that sucked the big one, guess the Canucks do need Petey after all.

Marc Michealis - Brandon Sutter - Adam Gaudette
Antoine Roussel - Jay Beagle -Jayce Hawryluk
We don't need many upgrades. Just the ones who are bolded.
But, having Motte and Petey back helps a ton. Hawryluk and Michealis are good replacement players, but they are being exposed as regular players, especially when their line mates are so shitty. If Sutter, Roussel and Beagle were replaced with legit NHL'ers. having a couple of scrubs fill in would be fine.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

Petey, Miller, Boeser, Horvat, Hoglander
Core but not untouchable:
Motte
The 3 you keep but not core:
Gaudette - centre, young, cheap, hard working, competitive, decent skill but needs to get stronger
Virtanen - fast, big, cheap, decent age. But dumb as fuck
MacEwan - decent 13th forward
The I don’t mind group:
Michaelis
Hawryluk
Bailey
The absolute must go group:
Sutter - Mr Mononucleosis, butter soft, no edge
Pearson - way to slow and prodding and lifeless
Roussel - looks like he’s working hard but works hard at getting nothing accomplished, dumb, stone hands
Beagle - ultimate stone hands, can barely make a pass and can’t hit the net to save his life
Eriksson - just fuck off
Next season should be and interchangeable top 9. Fuck a first and 2nd line, it’s not like that anymore. Green is out to lunch. Every other team literally rolls a top 9 with an energy line
Hoglander Petey ?????
????? Miller Boeser
????? Horvat Podkolzin
Motte Gaudette Virtanen
You have to get rid of Sutter, Pearson, Beagle and Roussel. If UFA’s Sutter and Pearson are back next season I will be calling for Bennings resignation. And I’m sorry but Benn can’t think fast, he’s just too Jay Beagle for my liking. You can’t have both Hamonic and Benn in your top 6, just a big no no there.
The team is not improving if all 4 of those useless vets are back. In my opinion we basically need 3 quality top 9 wingers. MacEwan, Michaelis and Hawryluk look like bubble players as they don’t fit the Bill of top 9. I don’t mind the 4th line of Gaudette, Motte and Virtanen as that’s a fast energy line. Maybe one or two of Lockwood, Gadjovich and Lind can step up next season as I understand all 3 are playing well in Utica or we have to mine the trade market to create a solid top 9. IMO we are missing 3 quality top 9 forwards. I anticipate Podkolzin sliding into the top 3 quite easily as he’s been playing against men for 2 seasons now
Benning and Green really truly need to understand the concept that you need to be a fast and skilled group in today’s game combined with some kind of representation of grit, compete, cockiness, sand paper etc.

Re: GDT: Grubby Toads @ Canucks Marc 10, 8 pm RSN
And that is why you let Sutter and Pearson walk because Beagle and Roussel are here for two more seasons. If Sutter and Pearson are back then those 4 will still be here making us even worse. Zero improvement if all four are back. It’s not rocket science, but knowing Benning and Green they will keep those 4 and move out the wrong individuals insteadThe Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 9:52 amI agree and am praying that Benning isn't lured back into resigning the twin turtles (TP & BS)Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 9:42 am

I can see him bringing Pearson back but I sure as fuck hope he doesn't with Sutter.
Doc figures Jimmy has left a trail of breadcrumbs leading to Sutter's walking papers so lets not get too bent up yet but I would prepare myself for the return of Tanner

I think Pearson will make it hard not to resign him. I think he'll do 3 for 2.5. I could live with that.

Not working well with Horvat this year at all. Be good on the third line quite likely. The biggest problem with him is he doesn't get mad. Ever.
Sutter is wearing an A and his team-mates like him but he really does have to go. What he did in Pittsburg was way over rated by everyone.
He filled in when the stars were down with injury and got himself a grand ole reputation. I think Jimmy asks him to waive at the the TD.
His contract sais MNTC now so why not try.
