I haven't really complained about the defense. I don't think it's good enough but I've never felt that it's our only issue.

Basically our D isn't good enough but I don't expect or even want them to trade valuable draft assets to improve it. Just roll with the punches this season.
How long is a mid table pick going to take to become an impact player? 3-4 years? Just trade it and do a Hronek deal.

I'm going to the game on Tuesday and I am presently hyper aware of what the refs do when we play the Rangers.
I'm also going and kind of intrigued about the sudden non-zero chance that we see D EP in that game

Half d success last year was forwards being where they need and winning puck battles on boards something that's not happening enough this yr
Tocchet was talking about this recently

Off topic, but does anyone ever consider just how close we came to the Edmonton Oilers pulling off the greatest comeback in modern sports history? And the Canucks having been part of that?

I don't think I'd be able to watch another game again, honestly. Maybe in like ten years when McDavid and Draisaitl retire.

this is a weak draft year and even at their worst this team isn't getting into the top 10. there's zero reason to be precious about draft picks
Then we will continue to have a shallow as f*** prospect pool. Weak draft or not, you can still get some good prospects to strengthen your system with the picks you have.

It'll take time since Joshua hasn't had much game time yet but the perfect line has been very quiet since returning.

Is this Myers dragging Soucy down? How many times has this happened when Myers is paired with someone for an extended amount of time in the top 4? I'm still a Soucy believer for this reason alone. Give me Brannstrom and Soucy on the 2nd pair and throw Myers on the 3rd pair.

And yeah Miller is definitely nursing something. Wouldn't be a bad idea throwing Sherwood on his line and getting Lekkerimaki on Petey's line.

I looked into the Soucy vs Zadorov minutes from last playoffs and I'm even more comfortable with what I was saying earlier btw

Ekholm - Bouchard killed us tho

And so did Josi

Everything about this year looks like a team that will struggle and either fail in round one or possibly find chemistry that may get them a bit deeper. You just can't have a pairing that bleeds goals and plays almost entirely in their own end.

I see it the other way around . Soucy has dragged Myers down .

Hell if I know. But something I am sure of is this team isn't going to compete for the Stanley Cup just because they traded those picks for some sweet rentals.

I'm just glad the simulation we are in didn't let them win. I think about it every damn day.
