I get you qualified this by saying you aren't holding your breath, but this seems pointlessly optimistic.
Yes it's pretty much fantasy world. Could see Pulock moving on though potentially with Mayfield and Dobson on the right side in NY
 
Prior to that play against Colorado, Poolman had taken 2 PIM in his last 60 games including playoffs. Weirdly out of character.
 
Defensively he is not bad, but could show more. Offensively though, don't even bother passing him the puck in the O zone. Might be one of the worst dmen offensively I have ever seen.
 
That's the depressing thing as a Canucks fan....generally you'd have to say that the new guys coming in have been pretty steady from the outset. Poolman is a solid #5 who can move into the top four in a pinch....just what you'd expect from a $2.5m cap hit. And no arguments with OEL and Garland either.

But the rest of the core that Benning has built....yikes! This team is at a point where even when they actually make a decent trade or UFA signing, they're still bad.

Was he a #5 in the Peg? He was the only minus defenceman they had and scored a point every 10 games or so. He got icetime due to covid so hard to determine actual use

I actually thought he showed some good offensive instincts and was playing with a lot of confidence. Aggressive with his pinches and had some good looks.
 
Then you haven't seen Erik Gudbranson.

Erik turned on this org hard and really pissed off a lot of fans who took his shitty play personally (me included).

I know better now.

Just 1 example out of a million of the Aquilinis shit Midas power.
