the more important question is " When is Stecher Back?"

Tanev is the pertinent question....stecher to a much much lower degree.

Stecher seems to add to the forechecking but that only

the Nucks are gonna light up the Gnights tonight ...7-2

Correct.


Outside of Vanek, no one else will likely get traded up front unless it's a "hockey trade."

Even if Vanek gets traded, who says EP even gets into games if the forwards are healthy? Right now Green is being forced to scratch 2 regular forwards per game.

Vanek isn't the only forward expiring contract. You don't think management won't make moves to get the best of their young talent in the spotlight?

Burmistrov has minimal value, the guy was on waivers less than a year ago and wasn't exactly a sought after UFA. Sedins are staying. I doubt the other RFA's are going anywhere.

No, I don't think they'll make moves at the TDL to accommodate EP potentially joining the team later in the season.


If you want to reply back with "well there's a chance they do so and so" then go ahead. But discussing long shot possibilities is waste of time.

I'm aware of your history but that doesn't apply to current Canuck team that only has 2 old guys on it.

But reading into your sass on this you are alluding no room because of vets. Are you not aware there are expiring contracts?

They're all older than Nucker.

Moves are not just trades and those on expiring contracts are the most vulnerable to making room if that's what management wants to do. Injuries aside the incentive is there to consider.

Bringing over isn't necessarily tied to Canuck roster for EP. Unlike Gaudette he can be signed and papered over in time for AHL. Then depending on situation he gets games there or both.

The Gradin interview gave insight that Canucks were favoring getting EP over while the Sedins were still here. As far as resigning them you or even they don't know if that will happen until probably July.

A lot of this has nothing to do with what I mentioned. My point was that there likely won't be room for him to play on this team unless the team is peppered by multiple injuries at that point and/or a trade is made to boot.

I can definitely see him getting AHL action.

Also in that same Gradin interview he also said:

"We have a team that does not look good"

One of the team's top scouts thinks the Canucks suck

First they tried and failed for a bunch of reasons on the first two. The latter they played out for other reasons. So history is relevant when the same situation is factually pertinent which at this point it is not. Not to mention Canucks did not have any high end prospects ready for a go too.

Carey Price is comming home , he didn't walk like Roy , but behind the scenes " this is my last game as a Hab" moment happened and big trade is in the works

You were replying to what I posted and negated the whole account so yeah what you said wasn't wholly relevant.

No one going into this season on Management or anywhere else saw Canucks as a contender. They didn't want them to be an embarrassment like the Yotes from the get go. So made them somewhat competitive to help with development. As well as set up team for a hold over season so the high end prospects like EP can develop enough to be ready.

Birmistrov, gaunce, gudbranson, weircoch and vanek dont exactly scream asset to other teams. And it kind of sounds like youre making an excuses for the failed trades of the players mentioned.

Having too many veteran forwards isnt relevant when asking "what's stopping EP from finishing the season with the big club?"

lol

This is why people think you have mental issues man, and also probably why people don't like talking "hockey" with you and instead just ignore or complain about you.

What excuse they failed to trade them. I just said they tried for first two over last two on your list. As far as forward trades by TDL you got Vanek and DD as best possibilities. The others are either renewed or let go. If they see no future and want their prospects up they can waive them too.

As for Guddy. Your bias is funny. You post hope the Hab scouts are looking at him and then next post he's not worth trading. So I'll just say this he gets either signed or traded by TDL.

This.

I don't remember being a fan of this team in 2009-2011 and looking at bottom feeder's depth players and salivating over the possibility of acquiring them to help with a cup run. Some of these guys don't even crack some playoff teams 23 man roster.

The Knights are bringing out the crowd tonight.

Yet they made depth trades regardless of your glandular control...
