Canucks News N Notes 25-26

The Memphis Canucks.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Meaty looks like Auschwitz Big Country

[Topper]

Did Foote buy a tank of gas for Biuim's and Willanders' cars post game as compensation for their staged escapades.

After managements tough week, they had to do something to dupe the remaining fans.

[Hockey Widow]

I didn't see it that way. I saw too young kids that were frustrated and decided that they wanted to be pert of the solution. I give them props for showing some push back and taking matters into their own hands. They were showing some on ice leadership. And trying to be tough to play against. Smells like leadership in the making. They are saying this is our team now....

[donlever]

Hronek continues to reap a good deal of credit for being an in room leader and aligning himself to be a part of the solution not a part of the problem.

Makes sense Buium and Willander being D-men would follow his lead.

[Cornuck]

With any luck, Hronek will be impressed with the kids and see a reason to stick around and be a mentor. If this happens, then he's the most likely only candidate for being captain. Of course, who knows with These Fuckin' Guys™ - they might flip him for a 3rd.

[Picker of Cherries]

If the take a RHD in the draft (Reid or Verhoeff) then it will be a deeper (longer) rebuilt and Hronek is the logical guy to move out for forward help. I’m not saying that is the wrong move. With Verhoeff/Reid and Willander as likely the top two RHD in the future it would make sense to get a haul for Hronek when his value is high and start addressing the forward deficit.

[Meds]

I’m assuming you mean moving Hronek out in a few years.

Yup, no rush as Reid/Verhoeff and Willander develop.
But if they get a great offer for Hronek, there would be no reason to hesitate since they should still be in rebuild mode for a couple seasons, and results don’t matter as much as accumulating the next core.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Hronek should be in play before the draft for as much draft capital as possible ideally a top 10 pick ++. Instead they'll make his Capt and perpetuate the suck

[donlever]

Before his departure from site I brought up drafting Verhoeff (as the Unicorn of players available) to Chef and was told no, we need forwards in the system as we were bereft of upcoming top 2 line talent at which point I responded that we would have Buium, Willander and Verhoeff and a multi year rebuild in our face so using Hronek to grab young top 6 help would be the play.

He disagreed and not one of y'all who are glossing it now spoke up.

[Cousin Strawberry]

You were right then and I am joining you with this notion. Why the fuck will we need him at 30+ when what we need the most are top young forward prospects.

If we could nail Verhoeff and flip Hronek into Manny's kid...that would be a helluva jumpstart to the rebuild (with Cootes on the way)

Likely no one brought it up, because they were afraid of getting banned for disagreeing too?

Heh heh, Jello...
