Thread: Offseason plans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>NSH has multiple forwards in the A that are either NHL ready, or on the cusp of being so. Can't say the same about their current RD prospects. NSH will have more holes to fill on RD too, with Barrie (and possibly Carrier) not returning.

It's been a bit perplexing why Brunette scratched Fabbro so much, but he plays well with Josi. A guy who can play on the top defense pair is a lot more useful than a $4.75M depth forward, IMO. Especially when NSH already has several vet defensive forwards in the mix (Sissons, McGrattan, Smith, Jankowski).</div></div>

Fair enough, I'll admit I was assuming from the fact they sat Fabbro for the beginning of the series. Sounds more like Nashville would be interested in Hronek if he prices himself out of Vancouver but not sure.

Thread: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>You really need to think before posting.

Donato produced at the same rate as Mikheyev while making $2.75m less this season. The Hawks will be assisting the Canucks by freeing up $2.75m in cap space next season and $4.75m the following. On top of that you want Chicago to throw in the RFA rights to Anderson who proved to be a very useful depth forward… all of this for the awesome return of a 4th round pick three drafts from now.

Davidson tells the Canucks to go kick stones.

It takes a 1st round pick + for Chicago to even remotely consider your trade proposal, not a 4th.</div></div>

And that is a mistake Mikheyev had probably the most unlucky year of all Canucks. I bet if he had half the puck luck he had any year before he would've had closer to to 30 goals while being a very good defensive forward and finally starting to find his stride coming from ACL surgery. I really don't think Van should trade Mikheyev as everyone else thinks he's garbage cause of a bad 40 game stretch this year. We should trade guys when their value is highest not lowest.

Thread: game 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kingkanuck</b></div><div>Could it be that the reason they are trailing late in the game is because they were split up?
Playing catch-up hockey is hard and it isn't any fun. It's also not a recipe for success.

The Lotto Line is a true #1 line.
Hoglander - Lindholm - Mikheyev seems a reasonable combination of offense and defense.
Joshua - Blueger - Garland was perhaps the best 3rd line in the league for quite a while this season.
I have to admit that I'm not thrilled with that 4th line but with limited ice time they shouldn't hurt the team. PDG and Lafferty will have to be replaced next season, perhaps Suter too.</div></div>

It may be a number 1 line but makes playing against us easier which is not a good thing.
Lindholm doesn't have the speed to play with Mik and Hoglander which doesn't mix well.
3rd line is a poor man's version of the line Lindholm played his best with in his career. They've been fine together even with playing against better competition then they did with Blueger.
Podkolzin brings more then PDG so he should be playing over him.

If you're running the Lotto line I'd say
Lotto line
Joshua-Lindholm-Garland
Hoglander-Blueger-Mikheyev
Podkolzin-Suter-Lafferty
