I’ve seen him play. His compete + skill level combo is very good

Bright outlook from his approach. Young kids who get it faster rise quicker👍👍

Sedins gone is a plus. They were negative players despite getting easy minutes.

Younger players will improve with experience and another off season of training.

Green comes back with a year under his belt.

EP ahead Calder trophy talent.

I doubt they’ll get hit as hard with injuries.

Demko could get called up if the goalies suck again
- Nucker101

This is a lot of maybes

I will say I’m way more excited this offseason than I have been the past few. Truly a new Canucks lineup now

sedins being gone is not a plus or negative in my books. there is young talent there but a) is green actually going to play them sedin-like minutes and b) can that talent actually produce.

too many question marks to count on gaudette, petterson, dahlen, etc to provide relief for boeser and horvat, especially with offensive anchors sutter, eriksson, and gagner sprinkled throughout the lineup

I expect to see 4 lines roll out more often. That will change in game as players perform. In the end a true year to see more competition from the kids.

If JB makes no big UFA splash(s) i can see the current vets playing & the kids revolving in & out still. As the season progresses i’m hoping the kids fit in on merit & show us they deserve it. Big year for JV & Goldy for starters & much better health all around is overdue. LE should get 20 goals on tips & garbage in front of the net.

I agree! This summer will be interesting for sure. Originally I thought the Sedin's were coming back for one more year but now we will see what the summer brings and how our young guys do. Even if we are a bottom 10 team this year, should be a little more entertaining!

We can expect more speed everywhere & TG’s system to improve. There will be many ups & down still. My curiosity is the goal scoring & who will step up.

Speed would be a huge upgrade for us. Watching Vegas transition up the ice so quickly is very fun to watch. That is a fast team.

They swarm as a unit as good as anyone. Always moving & aggressive on the puck. Take very good angles & herd ops into turnovers. 4 lines at its finest.

They could sign JVR a D and find a 3rd string goalie anywhere.
No need for them to give up assets for our garbage.

Define garbage?

FLA has maybe 15m to resign McCann & Vatrano & 2 more UFA’s maybe.

He has lots of company. What magic can you provide us? Thx

Garbage?

Shinkaruk, Burrows, Hansen not bad dumpings for something better.

So....where are we today? Self-pity like the Leafs and their "51 years and counting" or some positive vibes with a few good prospects?

Lind is a LONG way off, put the pom pom's down fanboys.

I like "never been out of the 3rd round in 100 years" Leafs pity better.

Seen him quite a bit, needs time. LOTS.

Self pity?

I thought we were going to be at 9OA after we tried to catch Chicago. What a bunch of clowns.

I posted this on their earlier blog this morning when they said "Vancouver" doesn't have their name on the Cup and never will. Of course this was after I explained that they have a ten year window, or something like that, to win the Cup or the top ring comes off and there'll be no mention of the "Leafs" on the Cup every again

Vancouver is on the top portion of the bowl so it'll always be on the Cup.
