Exactly....on all of it.

People want jb gone yet he's the GM that drafted all these stellar players we now have and completely changed the D in under 2 years. He's done well

He's also the guy who acquired all those terrible D, giving up draft picks along the way, and then let most of them walk for nothing. But he's bulletproof..

Probably organizational need. I have more faith in Gaudette down the middle than anyone else they've got that isn't named Horvat, Pettersson, or Beagle

Center is the orgs biggest weakness. Also happens to be the weakness in our prospect pool. Something has to be done this summer

Perhaps they move him to the wing? He skates and shoots fairly well but he is a trash playmaker and a liability. Why do they see him as a center?
- CanuckDon

I think it was out of necessity earlier on because of injuries. But he isn't great in the dot (40%). His shot would be better if he hit the net more. His defence isn't good enough yet. I agree throw him on the wing and see what he does there. You aren't losing much at this point by doing so and we're healthy down the middle.

Funny thing, JTM is an excellent centre. His numbers are good considering he doesn't do it very often. As mentioned before, canucks have an abundance of players who can play multiple positions and situations.

Edit: Miller is 60% on the dot this year. Crazy.

Hi!

With Saturday's game coming early, I've set it up now.

You're invited to speculate on whether there's anything significant behind Antoine Roussel's absence at practice today...

Which is crucial for a team that gets injured as much as Van. JB may have brought in some guys that didn't work out in the past, but he definitely knew what kind of guys he should be looking for the whole time.

Just looking at the numbers and didn't realise that Miller takes most of the face-offs for his line. I thought EP took more but no where near as many as JTM. Still, Miller has taken less faceoffs than Beagle. Bo takes just under 50% of the faceoffs for the entire team.

There have been an abundant of scouts at the Comets and Canucks games for about 15 games now and all you guys can come up with is move Schaller out for a 7 th

Only matters what he’s done to get us to today. The route he took got it here.
