I always looked at him as a third liner . I am saying though this year he is putting up second line numbers.

Totally agree.

How about Vanek?

Curious case of Burmistrov. I wonder if he is given a more offensive role like he had in Arizona and not the defensive role he was forced into in Wpg.

I think Vanek has been okay. I won't get attached to him seeing he will be gone in 3 months.

Burmistrov is hard to gauge .He shows signs of promise and he sits . He has generated some chances but not enough to really care about. I thought he did better when playing with Jake , but they need Jake to take care of the nursing home.

This is a write off year so who knows.

Gaunce is very close to flat lining IMO

Bo Boeser and JV have impressed the hell out of me . Sven is growing on me and is continuing to prove himself as a top 6 . I was wrong about him .

There are definitely good signs.

Sven doesn't get the hype like the other 3, he's quietly growing as a player.

Nice to see the twins with under 11 min.

The sh1t show wasn't too bad in here last night, I did get a couple of laughs though.

I thought they played well against one of the best teams.

Vanek could be traded early, JV can slot in beside Burmy and Eriksson.

Hopefully packaged up for a good asset(s)

Jake better be playing on this road trip

Nothing more than a Semin slap-fight.

IMO I would play Loui with the twins for the rest of the year and what happens , happens.

Try and see if there is Chemistry with JV Granlund Burmy Gagner start building for the future.

Montreal i'm sure would be interested, 6-0 last night something needs to give there.

JB and i'm sure all the other vultures have been sniffing around.

I'm still of the opinion that LE has something to give the team. Nice pass last night for the PK goal.

4 assists in 8 games this year . Silver lining. He was purchased to score goals. I am not a fan at all.

Sort of like the way MG (frank)ed up the Canucks, always trading picks/prospects to try and still compete. Haven't drafted all that well.

That's 42 points a season. That's not too bad. He was purchased to "add skill". Sort of same as JV. Hindered/brought down by a certain pair.

If you look at Gillis's six drafts there's just (frank) all there except Horvat and Hutton, his drafting was pathetic. 37 picks...two players.

After 4 drafts Benning has 1.5 players playing

If the #Canucks want to take the next step let the Sedins walk and go big at UFA. Wonder if they could steal Turris and JVR or Kane 🤔

JVR/Kane - Turris - Boeser
Baertschi - Horvat - Virtanen

That would be one fine top 6 and Goldy, Dahlen, Pettersson on the way!
