GDT: Canucks host sabres - Mar 20, 7pm - SNP
One last game before the deadline.... does this team stay #BenningBuilt or #AllvinDismantled ?
What will JR and the rest of the front office decide after this one? Or have they already decided?
Lose and we're sellers? Lose close, with effort - will that keep the team together?
Will a win at this point even matter?
Tough schedule ahead, and as much as I like to be optimistic, I'm not seeing enough consistency in this group to get to the playoffs.
GO CANUCKS GO!

Made this bed early in the year, was a big ask to make the playoffs after the start we had!
But they've showed signs of positivity and that they aren't as bad as the first half record shows.
So who's last game as a Canuck will this be?

If Miller goes, the team will collapse into a mental black hole - and the fan base will get out the pitchforks.
If Boeser goes, the team will miss him, but move on knowing that the quality pieces coming back will help.
If Garland goes, it will leave a hole, but I don't think he was here long enough to form attachments - where's the angry elf these days?
If Halak goes, everyone will be happy.
If Motte goes, the chemistry of our 4th line is gone, and our PK gets even worse.
If Pearson goes, well... I guess Pod or Hog moves up a notch.
My prediction is Halak is gone, and one of Motte or Pearson.

So with Hambone gone, we have an opening on D, and Juulsen gets a game. Dermott has to be an upgrade on Hunt or Ju, right?

Elias Pettersson -- Bo Horvat -- Conor Garland
Tyler Motte -- Juho Lammikko -- Matthew Highmore
Vasily Podkolzin -- Nic Petan -- Alex Chiasson
Oliver Ekman-Larsson -- Tyler Myers

Don’t expect anything earth shattering.
That RHD is razor thin though, like we don’t have 3 NHLers to play there.

If Motte isn’t resigned, it’d be dumb to not move him, too.
Halak fiasco will be strike one.
Walking Motte to FA would be strike two.
Management has to be realistic and do what is right in the long game.
The Canucks are now only +4 above 500.
They have to pass two teams:
Vegas is +8
Dallas +9
Edmonton +12
Nashville +14
They had a great run, but making the playoffs is really unlikely to happen, so sell, sell, sell!

Found this clip - might be more fun than the game tonight.

Beaudreau was coy about his lineup tonight in this morning's presser. Might we see one of Garland or Boeser held out of the lineup?

Maybe Halak will be happy to sit this one out.
