Kraken are going to take down #1.
The Fookin' Kraken!

Even Ron Francis could never have imagined what he assembled in the E-X-P draft would work in the NHL.

C'mon - no one on this site, McGruff included - liked what he did in 2021...
Tip of the Cap, tough SOB's to play against!

^ ^ Lesson for the Canooks Owner/Brass ^ ^


I wasn’t a fan overall of what he did in 2021, but he had an elite 2022 offseason which gives the kraken the deepest winger core in the league IMO. Bjorkstrand and Burakovsky for great adds.

OEL is one of the most mercurial players I've ever watched. His head is not in the game. He hasn't been the same since his mom died. He still shows why he could be elite occasionally, but it looked like he stopped caring while he was still in AZ. Thought maybe it was related to the coaching change and general Coyote-malaise. I thought he would bounce back post-trade. I thought he looked decent, not great, in the games I saw last year.

Honest question: I know he is definitely not worth his cap hit, but how far off the cliff has he fallen? Is he really healthy-scratch bad this year or is this a coaching head game trying to push buttons on his guys as the wheels fall off his team?


Given the state of our defense, he shouldn't be scratched. I mean Boudreau has scratched guys like Boeser, Garland, and Kuzmenko so it doesn't mean too much. Probably just trying any possible way to get a win

It’s a shame what he’s doing to my guy tomasino too. Great rookie season and now he’s buried in the minors


I'm noooooo spring chicken...
Poile-Rutherford need to do a little Snowbird Florida Shuffleboard, the R-n-R & high-white-compression-socks/blue-rinse routine and not "multi-million-dollar" high stakes pro-sports transactions.

He's sticking it to JR (and by extension Aquilini) - I for one, like that - Bruce there it is!cheers

I wonder do they make a move before the TDL or are just waiting for everyone to be healthy. As to me they should make a move that helps them now and when they are fully healthy

U think if they cant get healthy in time they lightly sell (some of the rentals) and buy cheap on others or they stay the course and just not add anything to see what happens.

I dont think so, I can still see them making a late push to make the playoffs even if they are out at the deadline. They dont have many valuable UFAs and I think they will try to extend Rodrigues and Johnson anyway, so it just leaves Compher, Helm, and Cogliano. Id rather just keep those guys and push for the playoffs

List of RHD prospects projected to go in the first 2 rounds of the 2023 draft (Tankathon):
Axel Sandin-Pelikka
David Reinbacher
Lukas Dragecevic
Cameron Allen
Maxim Strbak
Beau Akey
Hunter Brzustewicz
Oliver Bonk

In my opinion, the Canucks should acquire at least 2 more 2023 first round picks (Horvat, Kuzmenko trades), and a couple more 2023 second round picks (Schenn, additional pieces for Horvat or Kuzmenko trade). If the Canucks can get 6 picks in the first 2 rounds, they will be able to fill the empty cupboards. They should acquire 2 forwards in the first round, and one of the top RHD prospects with their late first acquired from trade. I'd like the Canucks to walk away with at least 2 new RHD

How?
After years now, the NHL-bingo-balls never fall into the False Creek cesspool!

AND

MTL will have x-tra picks/bouncing-ballz:
MTLs + FLA (Chiarot's unprotected #1-Rd-er)

VAN is destined to slip backward....................................
