It ain’t Oilers fans derailing your thread. Just because an Oilers fan has something to say about Debrusk, doesn’t mean you can’t have the discipline to not turn it into an Oilers thread.
This all stemmed because an Oiler fan (like 90% of other hockey fans) said the Canucks are worse than they were last year.
The forward group is much better right now.
In: Debrusk, Heinen, Sherwood
Out: Lindholm, Mikheyev
We needed more speed on the wings and got that. Adding Heinen means Suter can play 4C. Debrusk will have a chance to play with Pettersson - instead of the black hole that was Mikheyev. And Sherwood is a pretty underrated player that has potential to move up the line up. There is more speed and more quality throughout.
I would agree with you about our defense as it currently is. Probably a downgrade but we've heard Alvin already state he knows there's a hole in our top 4 D but that we have the CAP flexibility moving forward - they are being patient there.
You've been quite obnoxious in this thread and already labelled yourself as quite ignorant about the Canucks. Canucks fans are quite happy with our additions at forward on July 1st because of added speed, versatility and PK ability. It's a clear cut upgrade to.our forward group - perhaps you are underrating the additions we've made.
