Worst year ever by far.

Can he bounce back?

Who knows, but if one of Bo/JT/Pete/Garland/Brock must go

... let it be Brock says I.
Maybe even 2 of them. Give it a makeover, acquire some young D and re invest the cap savings into the forwards. All depends on JT me thinks. His demands money wise and term, and if he wants to play out the rest of his career here.

The angry little elf for me.
Garland shooting percentage:

2018/19 - 11.02
2019/2020 - 13.9
20/21 - 8.9
21/22 - 8.4

Please explain the downward trend?
Will this ever improve?

He buzzes about a lot, but usually for naught.
If he had gotten that up to ten percent, the Canucks might be in the playoffs.
Frustrating player to watch. Not sure there is any more upside, but I think Brock has some.
I can live with moving either if they get a quality right shot Dman in return.

Guys, we all gotta stop the trade Brock chatter.

We’re gonna lower his value!

Dude has some serious skills. Best years ahead of him. Definitely getting back to 40 goals per with a decent set up guy!

If someone came with a knock your socks off offer then maybe Allvin answers the phone! :mrgreen:

Well the new GM/Prez will want to put their own stamp on the team.

If two must go, make it Brock and Garland.

Smells like a big trade of some sort with the Pens coming this summer...

Was thinking about Garland earlier. He was very effective when he got here. He scored a few, he was starting shit, getting the team engaged early.

Then he just faded awayfrom that. I'm wondering if needs that to spark his own game, but for some reason has had to tone it down (coaching, injury?)

don't really know what happened to Brock

he was never this slow and sluggish

he could always shoot the puck, drive the play

but now he seems like wellwood in his prime

Don't think anyone ever associated The Flow with Wellwood.

The Jelly Roll maybe.

Agree wholeheartedly. He's absolutely useless now. How much worse can it go I wonder....? I fear we may find out

Good teams find a way finish.
Good team have good players.

To me they're tiptoeing around it, there is real potential, high end in a few places.

But they need some shit, to much of it, save for a lucky run, to be a serious playoff contender.

Hopefully "new" management can cut off some of the rot and fill in with what this team needs.

Some of our young ones deserve to be on a winner due to talent alone.

Who knows how much they'd elevate their games as they mature as well.

Interesting off-season.
Wow, this is the most positive talk I've heard from you yet, Donny. Does this mean you're now a believer (in Petey)?

I see hope and why you guys spoke well of him....but I'm not convinced the talent will be fully realized.

I worry about his pace, his size and his wrist.
