There's got to be a poster who follows the Canucks and the NCAA (B.U. especially) and could provide interesting game-by-game commentary on Willander.

Isn’t that credulous? I thought I read he’s seen something like 30 of his games in the last 1.5 seasons.

He’s just very stubbornly refusing to tell us what we want to hear (ie ‘guaranteed to spot into the top 4 at the end of the season without skipping a beat, and then will easily be our #2 next season’)!!!

there's like 3 or 4 people who watch bu games regularly but no one wants to hear 'willander kind of invisible again' over and over

i can talk a lot about how i fear allvin has his eyes set on boumedienne with the canucks first in 2025 who has all the same flaws as willander but is smaller and slower but i don't think that will go over well either

I'd like to know, game-by-game, who he's paired with, what sort of power play time he gets, PK, even-strength usage (playing against top lines?), goals/assists/, and yes, a concise "not very noticeable" even if it's repetitive (and agreement or disagreement from the others who view the games).

If you include in every post an expression of skepticism about his future, well that just feels unnecessary and doesn't really contribute to anything. If your opinion is low enough that you're only interested in repeating the low opinion and not adding any detail, then there's not much point to that either, no matter how right you may be.

Posters keep trying to dredge up scenarios on a Wilander trade for immediate defensive help.

But trading a guy like Wilander for a blueline 'band-aid' would be the biggest mistake Allvin could make. That's because he's a superb-skating, right-shot d-man.

Right now, on the right side the Canucks have Hronek (gone for the next two months); Myers (34 and rising); Desharnais (on the trade block; Juulsen (a 7th d-man at best) and Friedman (an NHL-AHL 'tweener).

Wilander will be in the Canucks lineup sometime in March. And when arrives, I doubt he ever comes out,
