A trade was made by the Canucks today, so I wanted to look at their roster and stay honest about how I view their chances.

They arent clicking. As weak as their top 6 is i dont think what weve seen their full potential, yet.
Reichel always performed best with the Hawks when he played on the wing of the 4th line. He'd have a couple good games and he would be moved up to the 1st or 2nd line and he would go unnoticed. He has great skating speed, but right now he's nothing more than a 4th liner.
Reichel is going to replace Aman (who took no face offs last game) and we'll see how this goes. They like his speed. At least they haven't given up a lot for a piece that doesn't move the needle.
I've said this before, they really should have kept Suter even if they paid him 4 x 4. He can actually play 2C and this Chytl injury, everybody knew it was coming. He can't be counted on to stay healthy. With Suter, they would be light years ahead of where they are now
mercer , hamilton and a first round pick for Hughes…or well just wait 2 years and hell walk to NJ for nothing….go devils
EP40 is a great player…for a 3C. The problem is the Canucks pay him as if he can score like McDavid or MacKinnon, and that was never gonna happen.
Still early, but I agree with you. I said this team could do well or really tank it. As long as they stay healthy. I want McKenna. I used the word most fragile team in the league. And our only play driver is Quin. Garland tries. Really have no cards to play. We really have no options. Far to much to recoup. Maybe get touched by the hand of God. Because we need more than a Miracle on ice.
I agree with pretty much everything you said. In the offseason I saw no moves to make them better then last year, in fact I think they are slightly worse. Suter was a big loss IMO, they needed centermen in the worst way and they let him go. So they lose him and his replacement, Chyitl.
Also they dont have much for assets to trade for one…assets they can afford to lose.
And to think they were going to let Boeser go!??
Hughes passes (especially up ice) have been terrible. I cringe when I see him the the D zone! I really hope he works on his defensive skills. And Im a big fan of him.
The youth that have been pretty good, minus bains, oconner. I dont think they are nhl ready
send the 11 million contract to abbottsford for a month
why did they throw away another draft pick for a random winger. they need a center. just start the rebuild. they have no first line .
They need to w9rk on there powerplay 0-5 and nothing to show for it. 5 on 3 powerplay and nothing. Pattersson the next Ericsson. Hughes last game wasn't pleased.
6:21 I've been saying this extract thing about the Canucks for about 30 years!
In Soviet Russia, Arshdeep scratches YOU!
Let's be real for a second here… 6:14 the Canucks didn't beat Washington, Washington beat themselves in that game, mostly in just the first period.
My takeaway is that garland is our whole offense lmao
Reichel is all tools no toolbox. Those players rarely get it together. I don’t think this really improves the Canucks much.
That’s crazy that your first line center is 5th in 5v5 ice time. That’s no bueno
Bland is the perfect word for them. Our forward group is way too average, we need a miracle to be a playoff team in the next few years. A big move like trading Hughes (if he confirms with management that he wants out) before the deadline for a big forward focused package may be it. I hate it, but I could see it
Anemic is an under statement. I do not see this team any were near past Canucks that went to the play offs or Stanley Cups. I wanted Huges to stay, but this season, so far, I would rather see him move on. (As the song said, "If you love me let me go.") It looks like this is going to be a basement team for a long time again. Thank you.
I don’t know if the 5on5 ice time holds as much weight currently. He’s had a lot of special teams TOI which likely is playing a factor in his 5on5. Footey also commented on this in an interview and I agree with his take that EP40 on the PK or PP is going to be harder shifts some times, and with the injury bug as is, we can’t really ask more of him or we’d really be in a pickle if he also wound up hurt.
I think we SHOULD be getting more out of him, 100%. But maybe it’s more precaution rather than trust.
(But oh man…. Our powerplay right now 😵)
I hope they trade Petterson or that he just quits and goes back to Sweden
Kadri.
why are Canucks pundits afraid to talk about Pettersson being a pothead?
Laine falls into that "severe drop-off" category.
Imagine if Aquaman had listened to Linden instead of Benning.
Petey is such a floater. It's unbearable to watch. No fight, no drive, just wants to go back to twitch streaming it seems.
Get well soon THG!
EP40 is the biggest bust in Canucks history. Weve got the worst management in the NHL. Tyler Myers has 1 point less then EP40. Let that sink in lol lol lol. Wheres all the EP40 fan boys??????? Remember them from last year AND the year before and part of the prior year?
need to move everyone around let chaos rain!
let them youngsters and older players push up and just go ! to much management.
How the Canucks went from having Pettersson, Miller and Horvat to having none of them in such a short time and under the circumstances that made it happen is just so difficult to stomach (or fully understand).
This team sucks, if they are not in a solid playoff spot by the TD trade Hughes and finally blow this shit up, shoulda done it with Petterson in the offseason
The Canucks are capped out with six rookies in the lineup. Insanity.
Fair
As a long time Canuck fan, it's early but depressing! Sad to think just a few short years ago, Miller, Petey and Hughes were 1-2-3 in NHL scoring in late October. Management has built a very soft team, easy to play against.
I'm very surprised to hear your prediction on the Canucks this year, I have to disagree. This is a good team, we've already seen it. Sure they're going to have some stinkers when they have the injury bug. I'm not ready to write them off at all with the goaltending we have. I'm confident the goals will come
Joshua is much better than Kane
I wish they had never traded away Bo Horvat.
Räty had top 6 potential, in NHL 22 at least. 😉
ok, you already give up , wasting time to watch your channel !
Petey needs to go, too bad its going to hurt this team real bad to do it. But if we want to move forward it needs to be done.
This is a low risk high potential gamble.
Watching people shit on this team is so depressing. The fans make me more sad than the team does.
About Petterssons icetime, isnt it due to him playing PP1 and PK? There has been so much special teams
