Whether GF or GA in the playoffs one wins games the other loses games. That could be read 2-ways.

Our needs are a few starting with the D & offense. We r more than good enough for goal scoring or potential on the wing. Playmakers we lack up front but looking brighter with our prospects.

BO only needs to keep playing his game & improving on what he does well. Sven & BB can add playmaking skills to the line. Its who will replace the Sedins is up next. On D toughness & scoring will be a tough task.

We are still in a rebuild ignoring if we push for the PO’s or not.

I know you're always fixated on goals, ignoring that assists are points as well, but I'd actually like to see him really improve his assist totals and become a better play-maker.

20-25 goals should be easily attainable but I'd like to see a 40 assist season out of him. For a center I think it's important to evolve that part of his game, which is lacking IMO.

I was specifically speaking of Horvat, he needs to distribute the puck better as a center AND score his 25 goals.

25 games he doesn't have an assist in 20 of them. I like his power game and goal scoring though.

Lazy math : 10 G 8A in 25 games times 3 (30-24 54)

He definitely needs to dish off more - Most centermen rack up points when they pass back to the point, unfortunately, no one on this team ever scores back there.

He's on pace and should put up 60+ points this season. He's pretty durable also, missed one game last year, none the year before, none this year. I find he's visibly getting better each season, while he rounds out his game. All positives I suppose.

He made Tavares look like a timbit the other night, that was about the only good thing that came from that game. Aside from Eriksson, who should've had a few goals and a few assists.

Wow - pretty decent trade

Bummer about Dorsett - that's bad news on a personal level, it probably means retirement.

That's sad for him, hopefully it doesn't affect his personal life too much going forward. Definitely think that's it for his career... wonder if he'll try to transition into a player development role with the Canucks: seems like he's a well-liked and respected competitive guy.

Work with the Comets. Insurance will cover his salary up until 2018 season end

With Dorsett gone, if Gudbranson does get moved, it's safe to say you have zero physicality on the team.

In the unlikely event the Canucks make the playoffs they'll fold like a $2 lawn chair.

We also have a team in 20th spot right now and we should be 25th by the end of the weekend!

Better defense would really help! I never said I didn't like him, I just said I want him to be better, for the record.

Statement from Dorsett sounds like the Dr is saying his playing days are done, and he is thankful for the time he spent in the NHL. Feel awful for the guy.

I guess nuck4u really feels awful now that we lost a "pump and dump trade chip".
