Canucks quietly have the deepest forward group in the league

[JoeSakic13]

Well at least they’re consistently quiet

 

[Cianide]

Canucks have no talent. That's why they are where they are.

 

[HockeyWooot]

This hasn’t aged well haha.

Pettersson and Horvat have played well, while Miller has been an absolute tire fire. Looks out of shape and attitude needs a check.

Had he continued his play from last season, having those centering your three lines would be solid at least.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Shouldn't have re-signed that bozo at that price.

 

[Sol]

Even before the season started I was blown away that anyone was delusional to be thinking the Canucks are a good team.

[Tufted Titmouse]

I still like Kuzmenko.

That Mikheyev contract, though...oof.

Miller, Mikheyev and Boeser combine for what, like 18-20m?

 

[Rama Llama Ding Dong]

I'm just here to wave at the clown.

 

[MNRube]

Even with the high taxes, you’d think one of the nicest cities in the Western Hemisphere wouldn’t have to overpay every player they sign.

 

[SurferBroChad]

The lineup could have many changes but ngl it looks deep

Any thread with the word "quiet" in the title will barely remain quiet.

 

[Ruthervin]

Oh my, this aged poorly.

Agreed but on paper, it really shouldn't have.

Just goes to show terrible team chemistry and/or lockerroom rifts can kill a team.

2005-2006 Canucks and the 1997-1998 Canucks were also living proof.

 

[Turin]

Their fwd group would be good if it played in front of a good defense, but since the D isn’t even decent, it’s not good because there isn’t enough two way commitment with those fwds.

I mean the thread starter said Mikheyev was good for 25-30 goals.

That's outrageous.

How did anyone think this was a deep forward group.

Surprised Mik ended up with a thumbs up. He’s a very likeable player but looking at his contract, one would assume he’d be judged hard, and he hasn’t played great

It really should. The OP basically propped up every player by 10+ goals over what they likely score in order to conclude they're the deepest forward group in the league. It's almost guaranteed that a team is going to fall way under expectations if that's how you arrive at your expectations for a team.

Fair enough. If I see the OP at Rogers Arena one day, I'll knock his hat off his head (before buying him a beer or something :-p)

Their defense is the reason they are losing though. Obviously the forwards haven’t been great but they are getting multi goal leads and the other team isn’t worried at all because they know theirs will come. The defense was horrendous coming in and is the biggest problem so far

 

[Chainshot]

So deep, they haven't hit bottom yet...

I advocated that the Canucks trade for Chychrun or Seth Jones prior to the season starting so that we'd have

Hughes-Jones
OEL-Myers

or

Chychrun-Hughes
OEL-Myers

but it wasn't well received.

Keep throwing away assets to acquire more players to add to this shit show... Same thing they've been doing for the better part of a decade. The only valuable players they have they drafted.

Maybe they should focus on rebuilding a top prospect pool while waiting for some of these horrible contracts to die off while simultaneously not adding any more brutal contracts to the mix...

 

[Talonted]

All of the arguing with idiots I avoided by not saying anything earlier here.

Even “on paper”, the thread title seems objectively false.

 

[TheOrangeDesk]

oh come on. reviving this thread now? have you no heart?!?!
