Vancouver Canucks: Leighton signed, Sautner recalled, and a look at our lack of top 6 forwards



The Canucks have signed veteran goaltender Michael Leighton and have recalled d-man Ashton Sautner.

As well, I take a look at the Canucks lack of top 6 forwards.

  1. i pray the canucks make a move to get micheal ferland, and i don't mean like giving up draft picks or one of our key prospects,
    i really like our team now but micheal would fit great and i hope they give antoine roussel more ice time! i dont think you give antoine roussel enough credit! he's playing some of the best hockey of his career and he's a plus 3 and he sits 4th in team scoring just a smidge above goldobin but but he's defensively sound and he's tough! i would like to see him in the top 2 lines to see how he pairs up with them!

  2. Dahlén – Pettersson – Boeser
    I wish so much that they has the courage to try that now. Dahlén and Petey have chemistry 🧪 to make a difference

  3. Clay – when ranking “top six” forwards you should be ranking them based on a top ten or top five caliber team. That’s (after all where we want to be).

  4. Yes Canucks have too many mid level guys, they need another sniper winger . Levio, grandlund, goldy, sven, loui Jake, all decent but not game breakers . 4th line is good, bring up dahlen and see what he can do with pettersson.

  5. Loui Eriksson has been a top 6 guy but certainly not playing like one now. Granlund is way off. So sad Virtanen could't finish what be started this season he never seems to get a break, he has potential.

  6. I'm not convinced Dahlén will be a top 6 guy but if Canucks make the playoffs give him a chance!

  7. This is off topic but I feel it's important to remind the fans to visit the voting page for the Hobey Baker award. Currently Quinn Hughes is in the 7th place spot with 3.1% of the vote . There are I think 3 other players who are only .1% from our future star D man. My understanding is there are 10 nominees who will be eligible for the award. We all need to vote daily. Just think how awesome it would be if the Vancouver Canucks have 2 Hobey Baker awards winners in consecutive years. https://www.hobeybaker.com/home . Then click at top of page where it says vote now. It will take you to the page with all the potential award winners. Scroll down until you see Quinn Hughes picture. Click on his picture and scroll all the way to the bottom and click on submit. It will confirm your vote. You may vote every 24 hours. Please do!

  8. Am I wrong or did Dahlen and Pettersson have amazing chemistry in Sweden ? There great friends from home so why wouldn’t you give it a try ? We’re not gonna win the cup so what’s the problem in trying this ? This is a three to four year project for our cup run in the hands of Mr. Benning . Jim’s better off keeping Goldy on Horvats line because of his defensive responsibilities. Who knows , maybe a diamond in the rough with Spooner .Edmonton has missed the boat on everything they’ve touched over the past 4 years , so maybe they missed the boat on this guy as well . I guess what I’m saying is , this is the time to experiment in my eyes !!

  9. Wondering does anyone think it's a coincidence that Getzlaf injured Jake twice in 3 years and both of them looked like Getzlaf tried to make it look like its accidental.
    I'm gonna start booing @ Getzlaf next Monday Feb 25!
