Post-Game Talk: Preseason GM06 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Canucks def. Oilers | 4-1 (Hughes, Soucy, Bains, DeBrusk)

[Blue and Green]

Aman probably sticks due to waiver eligibility and is probably 13F once both Joshua and Suter return. Which is fine, I understand the distaste because of the uninspiring upside but he's much safer than a Dries.


Was never productive at any league besides the U18 tourneys which accounted for 100% of his draft stock. Love the kid but he never got in a position to settle and build his game. Bains is about the same age, stewed in the W, joined the AHL around the same time and basically lapped Podz.

He was productive in KHL playoffs where he got more of a chance to play than he did during the regular seasons. He seemed to be coming along okay late in his rookie NHL season. And then... arrested development, he might've even regressed in a couple of areas.

Silovs steady

Really confused with reuniting 97 with 29 in the preseason. Do you not want to see what you have when they are on seperate lines?

Love to see it. There’s like nothing much happening on their other lines, as per usual

Hughes could not play a minute of preseason and not miss a beat on opening night. Dude is unreal.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I am.

That forward depth was insane!!!

hughes breaking ankles without even trying

 

[Flik]

He's so damn acute when he does it too!

 

[Three On Zero]

Looks like Vancouver skating at 10% in the third while Edmonton is playing like its game 7

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Sheesh good save

 

[LordBacon]

Idk about you guys but I’m already feeling good about this years nucks

That forward depth was insane!!!

Haha.... the past...

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

That was a muffin of a shot. Right at Silovs with zero pace.

 

[rypper]

Darnell Nurse sits when he pees

Sometimes it's a nice change of pace.

That forward depth was insane!!!

We had it good back then.

 

[moiderer]

I am.

That forward depth was insane!!!

Don't know what's scarier:
- most of that roster was "unchanged"
- the "quality" of the new arrivals
