It's been a while but they are playing quite well compared to the last 10 years most of us had to endure.

You're right though, April onwards is a different animal altogether. But, if they can stay healthy and maintain the level they're at, I think they're at least a team nobody wants to face in the 1st round. Tocchet has this group willing to pay a physical price. Again, something we haven't witnessed in a very long time.

K-man is about as smart as Tanev is pretty…not very.

I'm guessing he's an ex-Dman. They're all dumb and ugly.

He drives the short bus.

Sounds like Soucy is out for 3-4 weeks.

9 day break coming will eat some of that.

Bob Mckenzie coming out with his mid season draft rankings but with Van not going to have a 1st round pick this year or a 2nd. Party is kind of ruined.

The draft is a long ways off you absolutely certain of that?

I’m warming up to Henrique what might be the cost?

Also try Kuz to the Hawks for a 2nd?

Trade(s) coming might be straightforward or series of moves.

Elliotte on Canucks:

I don't think they want to trade Lekkerimäki or Willander. If you're trading for a good player with term that's when you start getting into those types of conversations...They're willing to do the 1st rounder

Funny thing is that if you put K-Man and Tanev together you'd probably be close to a full set of teeth.

Maybe we pull a LTIR for trades like the knights and Tampa.
- Bettmanhatesus

Hahahaha right. Tampa circumvents the cap by 17 million and Vegas by almost 21 million and both cup champs. But if a CDN team tries it look the fuck out...

Any mid-round draft interests out there? Tij Iginla is looking like a chip off the old block, wouldn’t mind that combination.
- neem55

He’ll be long gone before the Canucks draft, plus he’s not Swedish. Maybe Lucas Pettersson if they keep their pick.

We here pretty much know that & agree. Gotta believe there will be a big splash of some kind coming. Just a matter of what & when.

By my guess BPA being a D. Prefer a C but not really a deep draft at that position.

I think it will be more of a middling splash. Monahan or Henrique, plus a depth defenseman of some sort.

Then they'll bring Lekker over at the end of his season to the AHL, let him adjust there, then bring him up for the playoffs for some scoring depth.

"The SHL regular season concludes March 11, and given that Örebro is currently ranked 10th out of 14 teams, their postseason run might be short-lived. The Abbotsford Canucks, meanwhile, don’t play their final regular season game until April 20."

Canucks will trade Podz Kuz and a first for Guent then offer Elias Pettersson for Lindholm. Once the Flames sign the deal we send them DPetey.

I’m on board with this.

Either trade for a B type player or an A+

High odds on a middlin trade. The 1st will be dangled for something bigger says my gut. If no luck then the former. If a big trade I prefer to try to resign if a UFA. Not a fan of an ‘All in’ & mortgage the farm. Yes I know that’s cake & eat it too but sustaining cup runs would be necessary.
