Excellent

What are we whining about today?
- boonerbuck

Horvats gonna get 3 points tonight

Or we could trade Hutton, JV and Markstrom and continue the retool.
- belcherbd

Very funny. But what do you really want to see now given where team is at and reality of injuries?

Hamhuis getting benched for the second time this season in Dallas.... maybe he should have ok'd a trade deadline deal for the Nux earlier in the process and then signed in big D...

Or we could trade Hutton, JV and Markstrom and continue the retool.

My idiot rodo is in full bloom.

Trade Hansen, Tanev, Edler, Burrows and Miller at TDL and seriously start the rebuild.

Lol nice to see you agree with me.

So he's going to score and get both assists on our only goal tonight?

this has been touted on the thread well before your time, try to keep things in perspective.

We are trading Horvat. It was settled yesterday. He is a distraction

I want to be entertained and don't want to be sold a false bill of goods.

As long as it is for 20 goal scorer, I'm happy.

Sure. Isn't is exciting time to see what we got? Allow for trading more vets? As for sold. I get it. Even JB used rebuild word recently. You know what's going on. They try to win. Can't. Run into injuries. Use more young guys who sink or swim. Enter lotto. Rinse repeat.

Hope too see Pedan in this lineup soon.

I hope to see him in the line up against the Leafs.

As long as it is for 20 goal scorer, I'm happy.
- belcherbd

I can do one better. Kane, he is a 30 goal scorer

I watched a couple of back to back games in Victoria earlier this year and while he had a a couple of goals and pts in the two games I thought he has some red flags.

He is big and spends a bunch of time in front of the net but didn't think he created offense or was aggressive physically.

I would love to have him but I think there is many other forwards that I take before him.
- belcherbd

I don't think there are 'many' forwards ahead of him at all. Theres Nico and Patrick, and we need a centerman. Aggressiveness can be taught and the kid will continue to learn to use his size. I don't know how 20g in 27gms means he doesn't drive offence either??
everything i've seen/read about the kid, he's responsible two way, uses his size to gain space, smooth skater and a ton of skill. And in terms of Middelstadt, do we really want another US college kid to worry about potentially not signing with us?

Wow...Sportsnet is hyping Mcdavid vs. Kadri 2. Like Mcdavid cares about Kadri or anyone outside of Leaf land

So he's going to score and get both assists on our only goal tonight?

Dubnyk's not playing so the chances the canucks score more the 1 just increased considerably

I have no problem with the team trying to win and applaud the mgmt group for trying to stay competitive while trying to develop players.

The problem in my eyes is that they haven't been able to stay competitive and have sacrificed some of those developing players in order to stay "competitive".

Its a good goal, an ambitious one and likely one that was mandated from ownership, but IMO you are judged upon what you accomplish not what you want to accomplish.

Well you dont know the canucks like we do. Our real aim is at the boards just to the left or right of the net.
