C'mon man. Show me a single sign that any of the team is "checked" out", cuz that is a hugh attack on the character of the guys.

I see a team that is still tired from Covid and too many games, and is short of practice time. But, if you see guys who are checked out, let us know who they are, so we can shit all over them til they get traded.



And, I don't think we have anyone else to call up. Woo, Focht and Lockwood are all that is left. None of them need NHL time yet, just more game time over-all.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

That comment was made after the wednesday loss and they changed my opinion by playing the kind of game they did on Thursday...gritty, finishing checks, fighting back etc. You may very well be correct about it being fatigue and covid related

The Canucks are averaging out with about 5-6 games in hand with the teams just ahead of them. It’s safe to say we will be picking top this year. With our 2-8 record over the last 10 I don’t think we are catching teams who are 6 points ahead of us, we would have to go .500 with them playing at .500, which most likely won’t happen so that gives us a near guaranteed top 8 draft pick. But if continue on playing at .200 we should be getting at least a top 5 pick. Looks like we’ll be getting a decent prospect IF the pick is more Pettersson/Hughes than Juolevi/Virtanen in which this class IMO will produced some unpredictable duds (Turcotte, Broberg, Zadina, Byfield) and studs (Q. Hughes, Pettersson, Stutzle, Podkolzin) in the top 10

Way too early to be calling duds on picks made 8- 20 months ago imho.

There is definitely lots to be concerned about with Turcotte and Byfield, such highly touted prospects along with Kenny Holland’s - Zadina and Broberg

If hes available the youngest Hughes brother works for me as well. A bigger version of Quinn with a better shot and likely sitting right where we will be drafting?

We don’t need another lefty D-man. But I they pick him if he’s there because of the story and intangibles. This city loves a brother act although outside of the Sedins and Stastnys they rarely work. I still think we need more top 6 skilled forwards more than anything. Hughes, Schmidt, Hamonic, Myers, Rathbone is OK for me and let’s face it, Edler isn’t ready to retire and we know how much he loves this city. Also with Juolevi coming along nicely as a 5-6 and Woo playing great in Utica, we is OK defensively

Luke Hughes wouldnt be making the team next year anyway so you go BPA over organizational need. If he looks ready after that you make a choice and trade out one of Olaf or Ratbones to shore up positions of need

We are very thin at forward when it comes to skill, UDL. It’s actually dreadful once you get past Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat, Miller and Hoglander to an extent. Yes Podkolzin will help but we need at least 2 more very skilled forwards.
