I would be ok with signing Duchene.
It would allow Bo to play with Petterson a bit More, which IMO, is a pretty fine looking duo.
- Reubenkincade

I sort of agree with this . Not Duchene but the idea of it.
I thought Gaudette and Brock played well together . Maybe go for a Dzingle .Anders Lee or Brock Nelson type free agent center. Tier two.



Jake Bo Petey
Roussel Gaudette Boeser
Sven Dzingle MacEwen
Motte Beagle Leivo


The bolded names would be the ones to upgrade over the next year or two.

Oh my, so Toronto is going to win the Stanley Cup this year listen tumble I think you may be swallowing to much TSN. Your team is a four game 1st round sweep type team.
- Makita

lol TO ain't winning no cup. They are still one dman away from deep playoff contention. Plus having to deal with TB BOS or WAS. Maybe second round this year.

Sutter, Guddy both look brutal now. Granny and Goldy are still cheap.

Another high end scorer will help, probably find it in the draft or an already drafted players rises a bit above their ceiling.

I dont want Edler back.
- manvanfan

Yep. I said it four weeks ago start shopping Tanev/Edler now while they were healthy.

Now we get nothing.

Works for me. Having another decent centre provides lots of options.

Sautner is the one who should be here. Bries still needs a year or two more but it is a good learning experience.

They can't seem to stay healthy and when you have to put that amount of salary towards a player who doesn't play, then you can't pay someone else who is better.

I think we do have most of the pieces already at the top end. I would definitely play more Boeser and Gaudette , and Bo and Petey sure make things happen.

Dzingel plays wing. 176 faceoffs taken in 245 NHL games. No different then Brock taking a faceoff when the center gets kicked out.

Canuck have had 6 rookies in the lineup, at some point, this season.

Demko, DiPietro, Brisebois, Gaudette, Zacmac and Elias, this is what I call a successful season.
I don't care about wins and losses, although I always cheer for a win...change is happening.👍

They have him listed as center on Free Agent tracker . I thought he was a winger too. I only follow Ottawa's box scores . Why would I lol.

The idea still stands pick up a third line center that can pot 15 goals or so.

Well if you didn't get the point of the discussion, I don't know what to say.

He is listed as a center just about everywhere I believe.

If there is one out there that fits.

Team needs another skilled play making winger which I think could be Madden in two years. Maybe Lind before that.


I like what the rookies have done thanks to being allowed to develop in the minors but that process has started and i'm more opposed to closing off spaces signing free agents than ever unless it's someone that is a major upgrade that Van won't get like Stone or Panarin

I don't want a lot of shopping in Free agency . As we know it is a horrible way to build a team.

I agree Madden Lind and Woo are three players I can see on this lineup in 2-3 years so no big name signings. Even Edler only two years would be nice.

No Young Stars classic this year, according to Ryan Biech.
- Reubenkincade

Yes, kind of sucks. I was great while it lasted.


“The Vancouver Canucks are grateful to the city of Penticton and its fans for their support of the annual Young Stars Tournament since its start in 2010. The tournament will not take place in 2019 due to a lack of participating NHL teams; however, options for future Young Stars tournaments in Penticton continue to be explored,” Canucks Sports & Entertainment wrote in a statement.

He is a better option, as 3rd line centre, than Sutter or Granlund.
I am hoping that both him and Zacmac stick with the team for the remaining 20+ games.
- Reubenkincade

Looks like it was an entertaining game, beat the second worst team in the league but the kids were the major contributors. That, I like!

They are fairly well established as the elite of the garbage teams. Just need to take another step to become an elite bubble team.

Just need 2 more talented & skilled wingers and they are close.
At least they have a $12 million 4th line.
