Canucks 4-0 without Edler. Not pretty wins but still wins.

I've enjoyed the Canucks defence the past two games. More Hughes and Benn, Less Edler.

Don't like Benn playing against other teams top lines but like him with Tanev.

Fatburger reminds me of Luke Schenn but able to move the puck and skate without a piano on his back.

What impresses me is the depth . Someone goes down on the D and they have good back ups.

I still think Edler is the top guy now but that doesn't mean he still will be in two months. We might even get to see OJ for a couple of games if Edler is long term.

Had to laugh at eichel, after all those they got away with and finally called an obvious one , this team has a lot to learn to play better when the other team pushes. Miller and hughes have been the mot consistent through 30 games.

Yeah big reason why this team isn't crashing JTM in MVP territory. Hughes is getting better so fast adding to his game as a rookie. Now starting to drive the net if his finish improves watch out.

Hmm, blew a two goal lead in the third but managed to win it in OT. Off by 1 goal, with the wrong teams on each side of the ledger. Not so very different though...

Who says I didn’t / don’t enjoy the ups and downs? I made a wild prediction and you called me out. Just like your Rangers hate when they were down by 4 to the Habs. You enjoy calling people out when they see things differently, how about just take the L every now and again?

Expansion draft problems already.....
7-3-1
F
Pettersson
Miller
Boeser
Horvat
Gaudette

2 more spots for Leivo, Virtanen, Roussel, Pearson, Ferland and possibly Lind, Gadjovich, MacEwen, Jasek.

Defence is really muddled.

Nucker just pmed me. If you make a trade in the yahoo league, it resets your roster and you have to automatically set the roster again. Absolutely ridiculous rule by yahoo.

Been saying it for awhile now. Edler and even Tanev in the lineup does not make us a better hockey club.

Sedins gone = more scoring.

Edler Tanev gone = ?

Experience.

If it was earlier in the season, they would have lost for sure. Baby steps.

Sedin's gone more scoring yes because it was drafted and developed. Haven't got to developing enough defensemen yet.

The team is "better" when Edler and Tanev are in the line up. If they are playing first pairing, chances of this team winning a cup are lower. To get/ find top pairing D pretty much need to get lucky that one develops or draft high. I doubt Van is going to be drafting high again for a bit.

It's like ripping a band aid off though with Tanev and Edler, might hurt in the short but better in long term.

Tanev's a free agent and can be brought back next season. Trade him and bring him back if you want. Edler, it's just time to move on from Edler.

I'm hoping Colorado comes for Edler, it's not that far away from Van. Hopefully JB forces him out the door.

Brady Tkachuk needs to grow up and his game might grow as well.

Josh Anderson 23 games 4 points. 47 points last year.

Mark Jankowski 27 games 0 points. wtf. 8 shorthanded points last season.

Some pretty decent players that are having rough seasons. Might need a chance somewhere else.

Upgrade the 4th line

Without a UFA or trade you probably have OJ and Tryamkin as closest to replace Edler and Tanev. Which probably means they are staying.

After a few real good pauses, I don't see any actual head contact just a really big hit and some whiplash for sure. Makar is only an inch or two taller than Marchand.

I'm not sure that's even fine worthy.
