I still think they need a top 4 stay at home defenseman more than a 2C, but Pettersson as a winger is worth less than Pettersson as a centre. Granted, I don't think that will matter and he'll be paid like a first line centre even though his face-off percentage is bad enough that it necessitates JT Miller playing on that line. I'm just waiting for the Canucks to inevitably trade Kuzmenko, who will go on to score 30-40 goals for another team, and a 1st round pick for a Brandon Sutter type who might be good at some things but isn't a 2C. Meanwhile, the defence isn't good enough, so suddenly, the Canucks are the mirror image of the Leafs. A team with a lot of scoring and good goaltending but a mediocre defence. They're basically that now, with better goaltending.
Chris Tanev for Myers and a pick..free's up cap and Tanev is a stay home who eats puck with his face if he has too. For a 2c if you keep the lotto line together, than try get a Russian playmaker for kuzmenko and mikheyev, maybe Malkin who makes 4.5 mill i believe. the pens connection thing. other than that this team is good.
They dont need to make any changes that are costly, only if it benefits them. See how they do this years play offs and then build on it for next few years.
2nd line center? heard there's a guy making around 8.5 in long island who would make a great fit I'm sure 😉
Petey would be leading the league in scoring if the Lotto line was intact from the beginning of the season. No doubt.
Have a Russian line try to land knetesoz from washington be like larionov bure n mogilny
Mittelstadt 2.5m?
Its a lot easier/cheaper to get a 2nd line winger than a 2nd line C. Get a winger for Petey, like Konecny
Giroux. Only one year left after this season at 6.5. Raty will be ready by then.
1st round pick '24 + Podkozlin + 2nd round pick + Myers for Stamkos
I think Lindholm could be a good fit for Canucks at 2C
they need elias lindholm. cab anchor 2c or play with mikeyev and petterson.
The hand-ringing over what can the Canucks do to get balanced scoring? Their goal differential is the best in the league, +50, Vegas +21, Jets +38, Bruins +28, Rangers +20. The Blueger line has carried the team many nights and they spend their shifts in the offensive zone after creating turnovers. How is that a problem?
Based on 2 games using the lotto line, suddenly there is a giant need for a #2 centre after going 26-11-3 with what they have? Yes, Petey needs a long-term upgrade on his wingers but that sounds like a next year problem to me.
Depth scoring is not this team's problem. A stone-cold Kuzmenko and Mikheyev is a problem. If they get going, the top line problem is addressed.
Yes they need an additional big top-6 winger and a 2nd pair R-shot D. So does every other team. The cap constricts every team. Why can't they add a $6- $7 million player? Because they're $6-$7 million short of cap room.
If only they could pick up Boone Jenner.
When the Canucks win the cup, the party in Vancouver will be out of control.
Parade on king George hwy Wud be amazing lmaooo
Too bad they traded away the only guy that knew how to consistently win a face-off
Don't go all in. They need for their top 6 to sign at a huge discount to make up for that 5 million in dead cap space caused by the Ekman-Larsson deal.
Abbotsford via Roger's Arena to the Pacific Coliseum! Plenty of party space at the PNE 🙂
Francisco's dad Luigi really wants to see a cup before he's gone. Guarantee there is a push of chips into the pot.
Lindholm is the perfect target. Can get Tanev with him too.
1st rounder
Top prospect (Bruz?)
Podkolzin
Myers (cap)
For Lindholm and Tanev?
We should trade for Mc David as our 2C. I hear that guys pretty good
Gautier was apparently promised a 10 or 12 game looksee at the end of last season, that came with some prorated pay and a signing bonus; The Flyers, as bad as they were last year, were completely cash strapped and couldn't work him and the bonuses in.
