Woo
GM of the year!!! 👏
I criticized Allvin and co early on, but to almost completely rebuild the defense in a year and a half is not something I thought would be doable. Big Allvin W on this deal.
How many trades has Alvin lost?
Allvin is the man
Good asset management.
I am actually so excited for this!
It is much more sweet because many social media commentators were saying he’s most likely going to Leafs. And no one likes the leafs
Everyone thought the Canucks were a Swedish team. No, we're Russian now.
Next thing to do is to sign Perry to a cheap contract and we are ready for the cup run 😊
Im curious if the penalty deal is only because he didnt want to be with his team anymore was he always a trouble maker on the ice or jst the last year or two? Also how strict were the coaches and stuff?
They still need and will probably still sign Bear. Still need another right d, and they can probably afford him still. Lol. Nice.
Allvin is playing with all the GM cheat codes right now
Do a trade tree of how all the pieces had to land to get Zadorov
Including Corey Perry incident, it was a perfect storm
Highway robbery. Where was the Oilers or Leafs ?
Is this guy going to be pylon, like Myers has become?
Please sign corey perry for the nexts move,,cup run,,
Once again Conroy got fleeced as GM. One more trade like this one and Conroy should be fired.
I like these Canucks Twitter segments. Keeps us connected and frankly I'm too lazy to hunt for all the takes.
You would think as a person commenting on hockey like you do, you would pronounce hockey players names correctly. Good trade for the Canucks though.
No Parker. This isn't average. When healthy the D is well abover average. There's a lot of thin D's out there
i like the fact you go into the stats sheet, good to see. gonchar kuzmenko and mikheyev should help him fit in easy. i like the big dmen who hit and play tough. big win for us!
All you guys who say Conroy got fleeced will be eating your words after you see the ridiculous passes and plays zadorov makes at times that cost you goals and games. If he was truely as good as everyone is making him out to be he never would have been dealt out of Colorado.
Also gives much needed physical play upgrade.
Canucks better fix the PK with this guy tho,
So him and Chaos giraffe the two towers of disaster.
Just found you let's get this Canucks fan to 5 k and beyond, I love the Canucks let's go boys with a win tonight
"Takes too many penalties " destroys people, two minutes for being . ..big strong, mean.
Me likey
Haha I like the 15 year old for Big Z comment.😅
Im actually kind of shocked, how tf did Allvin pull this off 😂🤌
Average D?
Hronik and Hughes are likely the BEST defense pair in the world currently.
Having the other guys are average or slightly above
Myers has to go then its a W
Let's be real, Allvin & Rutherford are the trade masters. I know Canucks fans wanted Tanev but I bet you would have been unhappy with the price tag. Zadorov is a beast & knows how to HIT. I'm excited to have him on the Canucks. His 1st game will be Saturday vs the Flames!
everyone is a fan try to be a gm for a minute!!!! we got this year and then its cap crunch(oel). don't be angry when we trade for a lose in the next year or 2 with calgray
zah-DOH-rov
I don’t see why we’d put 2 lefties and 2 righties together. I could see them doing.
Hughes-Hronek
Zadorov-Juulsen
Cole-Myers
Friedman
Or switch Juulsen and Hronek. We have; Hirose, Irwin, McWard, Wolanin in the minors. At least for now till Soucy is back and if we get Bear. Brisbois still injured
I am still very skeptical about this move. He requests a trade from Calgary > Calgary is now hot, Canucks are now struggling and he's coming to a team in which he wanted to get away from when he was going through with that in Calgary. Canucks are still doing OK but if the team continues to go down the L column, I can't imagine him feeling all too great about being here when his old team is now on a small heater.
Either way, your argument is sound and Canucks got him for pennies and risk is low but I am more concerned about chemistry and locker room drama with someone who quickly asked to get moved the moment things go south and us fans in Vancouver know it can go south very quickly regardless of how well the season has gone so far.
Just my thoughts on this.
Thanks Craig Conroy nice rookie trade. Big win for Vancouver indeed.
Zadorov become a free trial this year for the Canucks at the very least barring an extension to replace Myers.
Also, He has never been a top 4 defensemen. I think Vancouver got a 5-6 defensemen that is big and will fight. The big and will fight part is great, the 5-6 defensemen is just that. Media in Calgary always says it's an adventure when he steps on the ice, and it really is. After 4 or 5 give aways Vancouver fans may realize his limitations. The size part and the fighting part is great though. Calgary got much needed cap space and has already called up Solovyov, a player they are very high on. The cap space can not be under valued. I think a 5-6 defensemen is worth a 3rd round pick. Win – Win if you ask me.
Cheap? It costs them 3.75mill for a 5-6 D man… welcome to Nakitas world 😂
So I’m a lifelong Canucks fan and there is no love lost for the Flames… but I don’t agree that this is a loss for the Flames considering the situation.
I think Conroy did pretty well getting 2 draft picks and avoiding retaining salary… salary cap is gold in todays NHL
