Exactly....it’s about puck movement and deception. The reason guys like OV and Laine are so open on that left half wall is because the other four guys are moving the puck so well the other team starts collapsing on them and boom a quick pass to OV for the one timer. - LeftCoaster
I agree. Is that motion created by pure skill or does coaching have an impact?
I think your motion comment is spot on and that can be fixed by better coaching. IMO speed on the power play is not nearly as important as speed during 5x5. - bloatedmosquito
Goes back to my comment about skilled players. Guys get more time and space from the opposing team when they know you can burn them with a skilled move, Pettersson, H. Sedin.
When they watch film and know you need a pail to carry the puck they’re not afraid to pressure you.
I like him, I don't think he really gets mentioned as an elite dman, I'd say he's in that next tier or 2. He can play shutdown minutes and give you 30-40 points if he gets PP time, that's pretty damn good.
I know a couple of Jets fans, they don't like Myers at all lol and they like Morrissey just as much as Trouba which I found surprising so I guess they agree that Trouba is a bit overrated and Morrissey is underrated.
I like the switching up of lines . Let's face it the next 17 games is an audition for next year. Hopefully we won't be fooled by another Leipsic.
Never did like Soccer . Eleven men running around in shorts and ripping off their shirts showing off their sweaty chests in a field , falling all over the place writhing in pain and embellishment sounds more like a Nucker fantasy picnic than a sport . - VANTEL

He's American, so that is an obvious clue.
I Don't mind him, I just think he isn't as good as some think he is.
Getting points on a Jets stacked team isn't really saying that can translate into the same on a lesser team like the Canucks.
There's are reason the success rate is so low, plus I really don't think JB has the stones for something like that, and stuff. - VanHockeyGuy
Probably true. What makes this year different is that there are a number of teams very close to the cap who might not be able to match if someone came after their stars. I believe Tor, Wpg, TB are the three that are facing the most pressure.
We have a long way to go before we see whether this might be a legitimate possibility, or if it's just a red herring being waived by agents to try to get deals done at maximum dollars for their clients.

Dude, why are we're even talking about this, the only thing more established then the top notch quality of our coaching staff, is the fact that the cap won't be a problem for the next 3.5 years.
So, not only will we have no trouble resigning petty and brock, we'll also have space to sign both Panarin and Karlsson to 10m plus contracts without issue.
Leave the coaching staff be, as soon as we weaponize our cap we can sign Panarin, Karlsson, Myers, duchenne, and throw an 11m offer sheet at Laine. Then you'll see what the best coaching staff will do.

Not sure why or how this comment was bolded. - Reubenkincade
Lol. It’s funny how bolding text makes it look like you’re getting emotional.

Morning boredom. Just don’t buy the predictability argument. I think the playbook sucks regardless of skill level.
Never saw Tanev as offensive & playing on the Jets oughta pad a D’s stats. Trouba for a conditional 1st & a 3rd is my offer. 7/6.5m - Nighthawk
This is exactly my point .
If you put Trouba with Pouliot Biega Gudbrandson Tanev , he will probably suck. So is the idea then not to change up the current roster to make it better?
Trouba this year has one more point than Edler (Canucks best Dman ) has had in the last 7 years.
How about you put a guy like Trouba with Hughes and guy like Dougie Hamilton with Edler instad of Pouliot Tanev Biega Gudbrandson
