Improving the D sure. It won't come cheap, picks would probably also come into play.

I was thinking maybe they should be pawning off a prospect or two with a roster player for maybe an upgrade.

Elite prospects has 25 prospect forwards listed for Van. Pawn a few off.

Probably 8 or 9 will ever even play an NHL game for Van anyways

0 for 10 will do that to a team. Glad they're putting him in a position to succeed

The way the lefts and rights play together in Van doesn't make for quick passing.

If Petey is running the show.

Horvat and Miller are lefties though. So is Edler. No one timer from Petey to Edler, no quick shot from whoever is playing the middle. Unless it's Boeser than the player on the left is facing the wrong direction.

They've played 2 games.

Thanks for keeping count

Are you LordHumungous on twitter as well?

Nope

I wondered that too but the the one on twitter is a big Trudeau supporter.

I haven't seen either game. God damn work. I'm hoping for a better performance tomorrow vs the Kings.

Hughes should be on PP1 playing the right side D. Edler Left side. Petey can be set up for the down low one timer and Hughes has an excellent shot Green should be utilizing that from the Right side D on PP1. Since we don't have a serious RH threat on PP1 if give us two great shots off the half boards with Petey and Hughes rotating.

I don't like the idea of 2 D playing unless it's Weber or Burns shooting from the point. Rare to score from the point anymore on goalies.

PP1 in zone setup has Pettersson and Boeser at the tops of the circles. Bo bumper. Miller net front. Edler point. #Canucks

More
PP2 in zone setup has Hughes at the point. Gaudette left circle. Myers right circle. Leivo bumper. Pearson net front. #Canucks
--------------------------

These don't make much sense to me. Unless they plan to just pass the puck around the outside and not through any lanes.

Its Newell brown, it will never make sense as long as he still in the organization

Time has run out for him with this fan base.

Question is, who is going to replace him?

Nope

I'm just saying hopefully Hughes is on PP1 permanently soon. Gives us another threat. I get the 4 forward PP thing but I also don't like getting scored on while on the PP too. Hughes can be defensively responsible on the PP while also providing Offence.

yup

If Edler isn't giving the puck away or shooting at shin pads, should be less of a problem worrying about getting scored on.

The VAN press is unbelievable, they get Canuck's Twitter going for sure.

Options for replacing Newell Brown.
