I don't remember who I all traded him for but one of them was Marchand and their collective point totals far surpassed McDavid. But you drafted a better team than I did so you should be fine.

Carol Schram: Jake Virtanen plays, Brock Boeser sits as Vancouver Canucks open vs Oilers
In his first game as an NHL head coach, Travis Green elects to insert Jake Virtanen into his lineup and scratch Brock Boeser as the Vancouver Canucks face off against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.
- Carol Schram

I see Brock's getting the Subban treatment.

Retaliation for the bombardier tariffs? Discuss.

Who has him in the pool?
- VANTEL

Some other old balls

The best part of Boeser's game is his ability to slow the game down. Keep the puck from McDavid and he won't be able to reach top speed.

Good observation. Which is why I'd rather have BB's firepower weapon in use to counter high scoring Oilers. Prefer that to dressing the can't intimidate or fight effectively DD. But maybe best DD get his real game situation to get slaughtered by Maroon, slammed by Lucic and Kassian. Then TG can have the ammo to break through the vet code barrier and say sorry your game doesn't cut it anymore take a seat.

Boeser will get his chance, again, I see both Virtanen and Boeser being rotated in and out of the lineup so that they can get more practice time to work on things they need to, to be NHL regulars instead of being sent down to the AHL and Utica having more issues to deal with via ice time/veteran status. It's not going to hurt either's development at this point.

Only way to distinguish a beta from an alpha is ball size

Boeser doesnt really play a bottom 6 forward game. If green doesnt trust him to play over 8 minutes a game, send him to utica. Whatever happens when the sedins are here id a wash anyway

Then you earn a capital A in your Alpha title

Lol

And he won't be traded I will take the 100 pts
- VANTEL

Thanks for letting Bo go. TG will probably work horse him and his stats will pile up with all the icetime.

I think the fans and media are caring more about being entertained with youth than they really care about winning. I personally dont like dorsett as a player but completely understand this move. Heck i think burmistrov deserves to play over Boeser.

Actually hope Sedins have a mentor effect and BB lines up with them for games. They are getting the let's see if you can still be a top line treatment now. Best thing for team development is the other players outperform and prove they are not.

Above that, I am starting to think that Tommy Larshied is never coming back.

Boeser should mentor after Bo, not the aging sedins. Bo put in the work in the offseason to be a dynamic skater after establishing it as a weakness. Bo is the leader this team needs. Sedins need to GTFO (with all due respect to them)

I think Hyman will get more points. Leafs are a high scoring team Canucks not so much.

So Vanek with the Sedin's and Granny isn't playing center.

The guy had enough of Denver playing all those years there. He chose Devils cause they have no offensive D and lots of forwards. Sloppy game but lots of young players on both teams.
