The Canucks have turned over one third of their roster from last season. And almost of all of the new players have at least one thing in common: they are good penalty killers.
I feel that this, along with some other factors, will push the Canucks into the playoffs.
Do you agree with me?

Hi clay great vid it’s too early for me to say if the Canucks will make the playoffs or not depends on how we start the season sure we have the players to possibly get to playoffs and new additions so even If we make the wildcard or just out of a wildcard position I’ll still be glad to watch Canucks hockey either way
Even strength and power play*
Aint No way the nucks make the playoffs. Jujst wait until the american thanksgiving and see how far out they are and you will see it will be same as last season
Calgary no threat most team walking out after this season 😅😅😅
I’ve been a Canucks fan for over 50 years. No longer an optimist. Sorry.
Are the Canucks making the playoffs this season?
I agree as long as the injury bug doesn't affect them very much.
I think they have a pretty good team for this coming season. Playoff bound? totally!
They have the offense of a playoff team. Can their defense and penalty kill be better than half the league this season? If so, they could make the playoffs. I think it will take longer to rebuild the defensive core.
Scoring was never a problem for this team. They reinforced the weakest part of the team that being the defensive side of the game without losing any of the offense we had last year. I believe tocchets systems and approach to the game is a lot more detailed than Boudreau. Should be able to hold onto more leads this year and PK is for sure going to be better. And if demko can stay healthy that helps even more. I can see playoffs either wildcard or 3rd place
Why even comment
The penalty killing on paper improved but with so much turnover it will also depend on the chemistry of the guys together and the health of the team. We have also seen the team look good on paper before and the results have disappointed on the ice so I definitely hope they can put it together to make it but I am also very hesitant to say they will make it considering the LA and Seattle's are also credible threats. I'll hope they make it but I will say right now they will just miss by a few points and make it next season
I'm cautiously optimistic – as mentioned Suter and Blueger can take on the PK duties (plus Pius has some offense for 3C), and Cole is a strong defender (Soucy is decent too). If the PK system leads to improvement due to personnel and Demko's backup can hold his own then we're very much in business
Eh, I think they can surprise in either direction tbh. Would not be shocked if they fail, would not be shocked if they are better than expected. Also, things are never set in stone, injuries happen and can change the fate of many other teams in the division as well.
Yes I agree with you, I like the new players we got and hope the younger players step it up. if we stay healthy we will be in the playoffs. Go to Sidney on the way home to the Ferry, that is town where I was born.
Well I don't think we are finishing above Vegas, Edmonton, Colorado, Dallas, LA….which means 3 teams out of Minny, Seattle, Calgary, Winnipeg, St Louis and Nashville and Canucks can make it. Gonna be a coin flip
Better defense and better goalie back-up and keep petey and Miller rested for even strength play
AND THE CANUCKS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR THANKS CANUCK CLAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL HERE ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
As a fan I think we have had crappy luck alongside bad management. New management has not been bad. The latest move was one of the better. Having Demko injured and out for part of a season shows how important a healthy top goalie is. If OEL played decent and was not hurt and Demko was healthy the whole way we probably would have been real close. Or made it in by the skin of our teeth. Mikheyev was healthy could have made a difference also. Key players out. I think we shored up all the holes.
Clay I do agree with you and I believe they’ll get in the playoffs. But I think if they do it’s gonna be really a close battle till the end. Only thing that could hurt them is their lack of depth on defence. If someone gets injured it’s mainly young guys coming up.
God bless you Clay! We can all use positivity like yours in the world
I think they will make the playoffs they got better on d and getting a couple of centres help
Nobody can really predict. Our D was the issue last season. We have replaced 3 of our top 4. Only leaving Hughes. The new D group might be way better than last year, they might be the same….
I'm going to say LA will not be as good as last year. Same with Flames and Vegas and Seattle so very good chance Canucks make the playoffs. Not holding my breath though.
No playoffs next season Seattle Vegas Oilers kings vancouver finished third dead last top 4 is strong in the Division corey schiender going to lose his job again make or breaks oops Demko
I agree that on paper the team seems to be better form defence to the PK. There still is the issue of chemistry and if this group of upgrades will gel with the team and coach. I hope they perform as paper tells us. If so, I think they will make it to the dance.
Long term, I am liking the management team. I think they were brought into a tough situation and. They have made some good moves, and hopefully with the cap going up next year will continue to improve the team.
I hope the Canucks make the playoffs!
It’s gonna be a tuff fight for the final wild card spot… Calgary, Vancouver, Nashville, Minnesota, Winnipeg and watching this team fall apart for the last few seasons I’m very doubtful they make it but hope to see it or we might be watching Petey’s last season as a nuck….
Your delusional. Ha. Ha. Ha
likely compete for second wild card spot?
The copium is real theres a lot that needs to go right i honestly think next year we can make a honest run at it but right know idk everyones gotta have a stellar year miller cant get injured defensively whoes the depth and if cole gets hurt can soucy jump up demko also has to be stellar lots of cards need to be right imo
