<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>1. Our defensive zone exits are HARD CARRIED by Hughes. We need to rely on more than 1-2 d men.

2. Look at the league. Almost everybody is capstrapped, moving cap is hard. Would you rather us give up a very valuable draft pick to dump salary? You ok with going another year without a first round pick or second round pick

3. We still have a lot of time to trade JT Miller. The offseason isn't overThere are still 3 weeks until training camp. Just because you impatient, doesnt mean the offseason is a failure.</div></div>

I agree with your points.

The Canucks need to retool around the young core of Hughes, Petterson, Demko, Boeser, Podkolzin.

I am okay with keeping some veternans like OEL and Horvat.....but think JT Miller needs to be moved out if he will not resign a reasonable contract......and I would also move out Pearson, Meyer, Poolman and elevate Rathbone.

I also have big question marks around Garland and Hoglander and probably okay if they are also moved out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>Give me a list of "excuses" they have made. They were given a roster with bad defense, barely any good prospects, and pretty much no capspace. How much do you expect them to do in one offseason?</div></div>

Retired Rutherford critized the Canucks for having terrible defensive zone exits under Boudreau......which in reality was total garbage.....but set the expectation that he was going to make some improvements to the Canucks defence......which he has done nothing this offseason.......total joke.

Retired Rutherford from the moment he arrived......preached and told us how the Canucks need to create some capspace........and to date the Canucks are actually over the Cap and have made no moves to create more capspace....total joke.

Stand Pat Allvin and Retired Rutherford then failed to get JT Miller extended or traded this offseason.......Now they are playing Russian Roulette with JT Miller......one injury and they will blow their chance to move him and bring a quality younger player and draft choices and rebuild the team.........I would have thought retired Rutherford would have learned something by how Sakic made a bold move and traded off an older star to Nashville to rebuild the Avs.

The reality of the situation, is that the Canucks are a part time job for Retired Rutherford and he is commuting back and forth from his home in Carolina on the East Coast to Vancouver and is not fully invested in the team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>audiodave</b></div><div>And I'm tired of Toronto fans thinking that Kerfoot, Muzzin and Holl have trade value, but we deal with it because other people are allowed to have opinions too. If you are tired of hearing about how the Canucks need RD then don't read the posts, no one is forcing you to be here.

The Canuck could move OEL to the right side, but he plays better on the left side, so I say leave him there. I'd rather Allvin do nothing than make a bad trade just to do something.</div></div>

The Canucks are actually my second favourite team.......However, I am very frustruated with Stand Pat Allvin and Retired Rutherford because they talk big but never deliver anything.

I was getting sick of listening to Retired Rutherford talk about the Canucks poor defensive exits and then again when he and Stand Pat Allvin took so long to resign Boudreau........Boudreau actually saved both Stand Pat Allvin and Retired Rutherford by turning a terrrible team around and its star players.

Time for Stand Pat Allvin and Retired Rutherford to actually start delivering and make a hockey trade.

I can't believe they have not resigned Miller or traded him yet...........If he gets injured .....his trade value will be zero..........Stand Pat Allvin and Retired Rutherford are scared to make a bold move......because they know if it backfires.....they will be on the hotseat.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>audiodave</b></div><div>It's likely he will be a good defenseman in the NHL, but he plays LD, and we need RD. He would be stuck as the 3rd pair LD on the Canucks for years while our RD isn't good enough. Grans has the potential to be a really good partner for Hughes which is our biggest need.</div></div>

I'm getting tired of listening to all this right defence crap.........Its not a big deal to move a quality left defenceman to play on the right side like Brodie on the Leafs.

Canucks should move OEL to right and play him with Hughes and solve the problem and elevate Rathbone into the line-up.........Getting tired of listening to Stand Pat Allvin and Retired Rutherford and all their lame excuses.......These two guys have a million excuses.

Thread: LEAFS POWERHOUSE CUP WINNING SEASON STARTING LINE-UP
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>All the regular season wins are nice, but the Post-Season is what counts though

U can’t be a “powerhouse” if you’re never a threat to even contend for the Cup</div></div>

This is the Leafs year......and I have been following them very closely and thay have been steadily taking baby steps to get it done in the playoffs.

Losing to Montreal in 7 games was the result of losing Tavares and Muzzen in the series and not having a shut down 3rd line and great energy 4th line and running into a hot Carey Price.

Losing to Tampa in 7 games was the result of weaker goaltending by Campbell, a couple of bad breaks and terrible refereeing in game 6..

The Leafs actually outplayed both Montreal and Tampa in both 7 games series......and now Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Rielly are highly motivated to end the playoff series drought......Going to be a great year to be a Leafs fan........and sure you will want to join the party as well and become a Leafs believer in the team.
