Carol Schram: As Canucks court Kuzmenko, pondering a re-worked bottom six foward group If the Canucks are successful in their courtship of Russian free agent Andrei Kuzmenko, he'd likely land in a revamped bottom six on the team. How he might fit in, and what other changes could be in the offing.

Thanks Carol,

I thought JR wanted to focus more on younger players in their early to mid 20's?

For the most part the UFA route hasn't worked out too well for VAN.

Thank you Carol.

Excited to see what direction JR and PA take this team in once the finals are over.
Speed? Size? Cap flexibility? Going to be interesting for sure.

Have to agree I’m not sure if I agree with much from Bukala, especially not changing the D at all. Bottom 6 tweaking makes sense, outside of Mason McTavish I’m not sure I like the fit either. So many forwards available, I would be targeting Manson or Miller to round our top4 as the priority.

Think they go after Marino. Maybe a bigger package. Garland plus and Marino plus.

Thanks Carol.

Team needs to get bigger, stronger, faster and younger.
Hope to see some dramatic changes over the next couple seasons.

Imagine, he had conversation with lots of teams considering he doesn't like the locker room.

There's been talk about Marino at the TDL.

I would imagine much of the off season could depend on what teams are offering for Miller.

Ek has Laine to LA now. CLB could use some of that for Miller.

Bo's next contract, another prediction has it 8 years 7.185. That would seem like a lot for Bo but with higher league revenues coming. Dom whatever his name predictor said he outplayed it by a million this year but in mid 30s will only be a 5m guy. By then 5 will most likely be a 6m guy though.

He'll probably be traded before his next contract.

You just focus on who they should pick in the 5th round.

Watching the speed, the passing, the hitting of the teams in the finals ... we are at least a full henrik & daniel away from coming close to playoff success.

Now that Weber has been traded to Vegas,be nice if he retires after next season and Preds, Habs and Knights get dinged some recapture penalty.
