I want us to go for Marner in the off season. I think he'd be good here lol

If soucy play ls this good on the right side, you keep him for a bit longer.

He was great tonight

does soucy bring you back a midpick and a prospect?

What jumps out to me is also the 10% drop or so in speed from 2022-23 to the first half of 2023-24. Obviously there is a second more severe drop after that but the decrease really starts earlier than when the patellar tendinitis is said to have begun.

We don't really know when the patellar tendinitus started though.

I think Pettersson said January of last year, but he may have only noticed it then I suppose. It’s just interesting because it more looks like a trend then some unexpected isolated decrease.

I think people just speculate January because that's when the points started drying up.

His points started to dip a bit around the all star game. He still won player of the month in Jan and his point total in Feb was still in line. March is when it really dropped.

Injured at the All-star game ?

he recently wrote an article for puckpedia that makes me question how he was ever an assistant GM: https://puckpedia.com/news/canucks-trades-werier


This is largely circumstantial. Sometimes your bets work out (Quinn Hughes, Jake Sanderson) and sometimes your bets do not (Colin White, Josh Norris), and the best surplus value you can get is out of your depth players. Star players should be paid for, and it's a bonus if you are paying less than market value, but it's not something that will tank your contending status.


Fernstrom might end up being good, but it seems like he thinks Fernstrom is lighting up his D+1 season, and he is not.


I am pretty confident that Marcus Pettersson is a better player than Jake Walman, and I think Walman is decent.

werier normally comes across as a really smart guy, but agree, idk, about his analysis here

to me the biggest thing i learned here is that tyler dellow left his vp of something vaguely analytical job with nj and is now an agm for the canes under tulsky??

if things don't work out with allvin following rutherford's retirement and castonguay isn't next up, i'd be happy to see dellow get a shot here. he's always come across as smart and balanced in his views, and now he has the front office experience to justify a management role
