Well, to be fair, Beta is the better format. I am not sure why VCR became more popular.

We needed to remake our LHD for next season, so I don’t hate it. See how he does. Not a long contract term. Only one more year after this one.
I assume he’ll be part of the defense, but Vaakainanen is a RFA and Miller an RFA who could get traded. Jones likely a goner. Lindgren already a goner. I would hope we have something better than Miller, Soucy, Vaakainanen cooked up as the LHD1, 2, and 3, but whatever. Probably would still be better than what we’ve had this season.

65+or 161+ doesn't matter.
Its a crapshoot or a placeholder though 3rd does sound better.
Its all about getting him off the books and freeing up a slot.
We do tend to throw our former players under the bus. We basically hate ourselves.

I mean the value seems fair. But do either of these teams know what lane they are in? Are the Nucks gunning for the playsoffs? Are the Rangers selling? Who knows at this point.

I thought he meant Apple stock for a second there.
"Sure, their top line growth is slowing, but their margins are strong and I think they're going to benefit from AI. Also, do you want to play for the Rangers?"

How much of that involves the struggles the entirety of Vancouver faced thus far? Any worse than NY this season?

He is a big part of the struggles. Guy can't make a pass out of his own zone to save his life. Makes stupid stupid plays consistently . He hurts my head to watch play.
Basically everything people have said about Myers over the years applies 100% to Soucy.

I also get confused when they say Gotham and Metropolis. The latter is like calling TO, "The Big Smoke" which was always London's nickname.

Soucy has been a very solid 4-5 type for several years before falling off a cliff this year (especially early in the year - October was brutal). I’ve wondered how much of this is due to having newborn twins at home - he just didn’t look prepared or in shape to start the season and looked like his skating had aged 10 years.
In the end, Elias Pettersson II basically took his job and made him superfluous to requirements.
I like him and wish him well and expect he’ll be a solid player for NY.

I actually forgot how well he played for us last year and what a steal it was to get him from Seattle.
I was considering him all year just another mid level, questionable D with AHL like talent. I forgot he was somebody, that's how well he played.
Hopefully he will pick it up again with his buddy Miller. Wish him well.
Rags fans should bring it up on there's.

this has been speculated all year. Its a point they've missed so far in the discussions here and on the Vancouver channel.

He played great till his injury. Then he was a shadow of himself.
???
He was excellent down the stretch and in the playoffs last year.
His poor play was basically a fresh thing right out of the gate this season with no injury explanation.

I most def would not use the word excellent . He was outplayed by Zadorov easily.

I mean, Zadorov looked like a freaking All-Star in the playoffs (and priced himself out of Van as a result) so saying he was worse than him is hardly an insult. Soucy was very good.

Stopppppppp with this self loathing shit. Canucks fans are not worse than any other too online people who frequent this site and places like X and Reddit.
Not a Canucks fan thing.

I don’t know if he had laser eye surgery or brain surgery in the offseason
He can’t get the puck out of his own zone
It doesn’t matter if it is a uncontrolled or controlled exit
He is in the bottom percentile in the league

Fans are funny in their takes. They see what they want to see. If there is talk of someone they want out of the lineup being scratched, they'll see it whether the player actually sits out or not.
Another fan said EP25 has been badly outplaying Soucy. Soucy has been starting almost 70% of the time in the defensive zone, EP25 has been playing limited minutes against limited opposition and starting 72% of the time in the offensive zone. They are both -1 since EP25 played his first NHL game.
EP25 is looking good for a raw rookie and there is reason to be encouraged, but I find it hilarious how fans underrate the benefit of veteran experience and don't notice, even though the coach has clearly stated how he develops kids, that the kids don't get the same deployment as the vets.

Right now the Rangers have Urhoe Vakaninen and Calvin DeHan as regulars in their top6.
I'm hoping this guy knocks one of them down. Obvioulsly not looking for and expecting a world beater, hopefully someone who can stabilize things a bit.
