they're probably waiting to see what the nhl ruling on the gaudreau situation is. every september they've been able to dump a big contract with a pick, so i assume they've got a deal lined up.

I don’t have an issue with your first statement but I’m not sure what purpose it serves typing out the same list over and over again periodically over a span of 3.5 months. And that’s a bad list.

That’s certainly a list. Silovs with a .881 save percentage was a great story but he was not better than Hughes and others.

Once again the Canucks are the NHL's version of Rodney Dangerfield--no respect. The Sportsnet Pacific Division preview is out, and they have the Canucks not only finishing behind Edmonton, but even behind Vegas.

In the writer's assessment, what the Canucks accomplished last season is 'unsustainable' and they're the major 'regression pick' around the entire NHL. But best the enter the season with a chip on your shoulder, I guess.

It's not as if the media 'talking heads' are never wrong.

It's going to be really interesting to see the PDO vs Tocchet system battle play out. IIRC Data models that track actual possession of the puck had the Canucks as a top 5 team at 5v5 in offensive zone puck possession, Tocchet coached the team to hold onto pucks instead of firing shots so in theory that should lead to a higher sh% assuming the team held onto pucks for higher quality shots(traffic in front). This also meant less rushed shots when entering the zone so there would be fewer pond hockey moments where the other team could counter attack.

But the one thing the data models did point out is that the Canucks had one of the lowest shot attempts per game off the rush amongst all NHL teams but did score on a very high% of them when they got them so I do think we'll see some real regression there unless Tocchet is willing to give players more of a green light to shoot off the rush, but that could be a double edged sword since we could see more rushes against as well.

Actually, my 'regression pick' in the Pacific is the vaunted Oilers. Looking like they might have to start the season without Kane and Nurse.

After losing Ceci, Desharnais and Broberg, their blueline is 'paper-thin'. And up front, they've replaced McLeod, Holloway and Fogel with Arvidsson and Skinner. They might bring a little more offense to the table, but they they're definitely slower and smaller.

There's a good chance Spector will be pulling out his hair again to start another season in Edmonton.

I really don’t think this is a terrible opinion they have the Canucks third. Not out of the realm of possibilities. There is clear top 3 in pacific division, and then everyone else. I don’t find this disrespectful. Putting the Canucks behind the Kraken and Kings would be disrespectful.
