Darren Dreger checks in with his understanding of how long Jim Rutherford is for Vancouver. The #Canucks president of hockey operations turns 74 next month and sounded frustrated with the lack of progress in a Pittsburgh column earlier this week. Dregs gives us his understanding of where the Andrei Kuzmenko situation will go from here, and handicaps what position will be in-demand and when the dealing will start ahead of the March 3 trade deadline. #NHL #VancouverCanucks #Vancouver #Hockey

I was thinking of Kuzmenko for Lafreniere idk if it's even fair tho Laffy is still young.
Rangers are asking too much for him in my own opinion I've seen Laffy play with som1 catching up to him and he gets poked from behind him and he dives onto the ice.
I'm not sure if Canucks would even want to part ways with Kuz for Lafreniere bcuz he hasn't proved his worth in the NHL yet
If Canucks do want to take that risk it's a very high risk, Lafreniere would at least get more of an opportunity here and a better power skating coach to help him develop better, like even Hovat wasn't the best at skating nether when he first arrived.
Best hockey channel on airwaves
Kuzmenko on phone: Trade me right fucking now!
Agent: Hang up.
Phone: dial tone starts
1st round pick would nail it
I still don’t think that bo will get traded kuz will stay as well it’s thee other players on the chopping block
Thee other thing is that the agents have to realise that teams are cap strapped ad the the mount of money for their guy’s maybe have to come lower,
If they trade kuzmenko I’m gunna cheer for the kraken
They should really trade Kuz. Sucks but its the truth
Get rid of old Rutherford please. Hire someone younger and more enthusiastic. Clearly it is a year of failure and he does not do much to help the team
Canucks never win while Aquilini owns the team.
Remember a young Blake price on sportspage… legend
where are the likes???
I would like us to resign him to 4 years x $6,000,000. Once we’ve moved out a few contracts.
If everyone is talking about defense, what about Meyers? Could he fetch something??
The funny thing about going after defenceman by trading Bo and Kuzmenko means Petey and Mikheyev are the only two top6 players left, which means now we have to find offensive players instead. So yes it must be a full rebuild and the question is will Petey and quinn stay for this, it might take at least 5 years to have a team that is worth its name.
Kuzmenko's shooting percentage is around 25%. Sample size is 39 games. His 35 goal pace is NOT what anyone should think is sustainable. A lot of players have good starts or couple of months when everything goes in, but shooting percentages of 25% are never sustainable. This talk of 5 or 6 million for his next contract is ridiculous. Among all active players Leon Draisaitl for his career is tops at 17.6% and Stamkos second at 16.8%.
They absolutely need to trade all their UFAs for maximum return. Having 4 first rounders in this years draft would be absolutely huge and is essential. Then get rid of Myers and the team will be miles better, and much better set up for future. Trading Boeser and Garland when their value is so low would be a mistake. I think they are stuck w OEL and Miller. Setting a new direction for this team is critical, and if EP not on board trade him for max return next summer or next year. They cant go on without major changes…
When was the last time the Nucks sold high? Cody Hodgson? Cory Schneider? Lets do this.
can someone please get dregs an IEM that actually fits? with the amount of adjustment he does, it must be bothersome, lol
If things get ugly and they get rid of Bruce I will be pissed, we are not making the playoffs play for the draft pick, and if they keep trying to win I will take a break from this team, I will not be buying more tickets until I see a turnaround.
