[Mr. Canucklehead]

Adam Gaudette for Rocket

Kind of a crazy heater he’s on right now, and extremely ironic it’s with Green as his coach.

Finally mastered the roundhouse kick?

Adam Gaudette’s current shooting percentage: 35.5%

It looks like working on all of those one timers has finally paid off!

All without Demko. Brock missed 1/3 so far. All in all, been a solid start.

Collect the points early then work on the weaknesses of the club.

Given the circumstances we’ve faced so far, it IS an impressive start. But the hill just keeps seeming to get steeper.

Reality is that the Canucks are chasing from the Benning bad drafting. Haven't drafted D or developed them over the past 15 or so years aside from Hughes and Tanev. Then massive drop to Hutton and Stecher. Free agency is slim pickings.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

5 skaters and a goalie for each team, from 2000 to present.

Canucks one would have some some no brainer and some tough ones. Twins, Hughes, Luongo are all locks. But who rounds out the F and D?

Maybe…

Sedin - Sedin - Naslund/Petey/Miller/Boeser/Kesler/Burrows?

Hughes - Ohlund/Edler/Tanev/Bieksa/Hamhuis/Salo?

Luongo

Might be easier to figure out an all time worst.

I don't know if it's 'right', but I'd bet money it's Sedin-Sedin-Naslund, Hughes-Edler, Luongo.

Apart from replacing Edler with either Ohlund or Salo, I think it's right. You could make a argument for Bertuzzi but probably no one will.

 

[racerjoe]

Tough to leave Bure of that team.

 

[VanJack]

Kaapo Kakko is on the block again in NY. A former second overall pick who appears to have worn out his welcome in the Big Apple. Any interest from the Canucks? At least he has the size that could help their forward line.

Bertuzzi for 1.5 years was as dominant as anyone I’ve seen in a Canucks jersey. But it was a short lived peak compared to others.
