I think Demko’s health could be a major factor for the Canucks this season. He hasn’t played a full season in two years, and was out for most of the playoffs. The Canucks have to cut down his work load and have him rested and ready for a hopefully long run.
I would do exactly that with the brilliant playoff performance that Silovs put on, he's earned at least 30 games this coming season !
@@marmitedan1234 they should have put demko on LTIR
@@Griffindor502Sadly, he got injured after the trade deadline so they couldn't capitalize on it.
he shouldn't have started doing bumps a couple years back in San Jose. you could see how mediocre he became after that.
@@Griffindor502Demko doesn't need to slice open his spleen
Last year, people didn't think the Canucks were gonna even make the playoffs, and yet they won their division. Norris winner. Jack Adams winner. And they even won a round with their Vezina finalist injured for the most part.
This year people keep doubting this team and claim they will drop back down. Okay, then, let them doubt.
But the reality is that hockey is fun in Vancouver again, and they can't take that away from the fans.
Go Canucks Go!
Now, if only we could afford to go to games again, that would be great😂
@@LSA30 💸💸💸🤣
the reality is they messed up big time and lost draft picks AGAIN, lost players AGAIN, and they will do it AGAIN. sure it was a fun season but they will never get anywhere with the owner's they have.
I am not a Knuck but cant say I have seen a Knucks roster like this since the 10/11 season. The forward depth is insane. You guys on paper got 20 forwards
that looks like solid NHL level to me
@@itsthizzbaby They lost players (Lindholm) and got new ones to replace them (DeBrusk). Tons of examples of this: Zadorov for Desharnais (slight downgrade but still good), Heinen for Podkolzin (upgrade)... The list goes on.
Kings fan here, gotta admit the Canucks are building a contender for sure. I’m fine with my friends seeing the Canucks finally win a cup since the Kings have 2 lol
🍻Kelowna
Kings have been a pain for the Canucks last season honestly can’t wait to see the la Canucks matchups maybe even first round matchup 👀
Canucks front office actually making good moves is unheard of. Seems like they've given this team the best chance of success lets go!
Babe wake up, the hockey guy is doing a Canucks season preview!
It would be nice to see Lekkerimaki on the main roster a few times this season
Sometimes I think that the Canucks are a sports team, but then I remember that they’re a hockey team
This is a great line. But i have no idea what you're talking about 😅
@@remimk yes
@@87WolvesAndADuck brilliant
This team has HUGE POTENTIAL right now! All the doubters can keep doubting but this team is looking like it's headed for a time just like the ealry 2010s! Go Canucks Go!!!!
I just hope Vancouver has another great season
Me, too, despite cheering mostly for another team. Enjoyed cheering for other teams when my team missed the playoffs. First choice was Vancouver 😎
As a long time fan of the Canucks...i know not to get excited or wishful thoughts. They might/probably go down as one of those teams that never wins a cup ever.
tbh canucks have a very strong forward core with weapons on every line. That Dcore worries me. Need to make a trade for a top 4 dman and put myers on the 3rd pairing
💯
I am not surprised by what Vancouver accomplished last season, I have said in the past and will say it again, this team has a solid core of good, relatively young, hockey players. Their one area of concern is goaltending, to me Demko stands out as half of a tandem, a 1A, now they need to go out and get a 1B. They should be looking for a backup that can start 35 games because a heavy workload on Demko will ultimately hurt Vancouver come playoff time, and yes, this team should be in the playoffs, Rick Tocchet has this group playing well together so for the superstitious Canucks fans out there(like THG), go rub Buddha's belly or whatever ritual you have to perform to get yourself through the season, because playoff hockey is now a thing in Vancouver.😊
They didn't have the cap space to bring in another experienced goalie and Silovs showed in the playoffs he is a worthy number 2 or 1A. They got Patera on a 2 way contract which was all they could afford.
"In retrospect, it was a great move to move Bo and keep JT Miller" Aaaaah yeeah. (Lights giant cigar and exhales) Remember all that crying?
I like all the changes the canucks have made this summer, and I wish all former canucks well in their new homes except for the few games of the year where they face vancouver.
HAHA.
My only negative on this season is this year we only face Edmonton 3 times :(
The biggest concern I have with the Canucks this season is load management from the way Tocchet over plays guys during games, rides goalies into the ground, and fails to rest some guys ahead of the playoffs. The way the Canucks picked up depth players made me think that management felt that nobody was ready to make the next step from their shallow prospect pool, which just got a bit shallower today.
They didn't have room or cap for Pods
Just as an FYI, Tocchet isn’t the only person making these load management decisions. Especially in the case of goaltending - Ian Clarke is the one who gets the most say in those decisions.
Think Toc was in a tough position last year because if the Canucks hadn't won the division last year then people would have been complaining of losing the opportunity. Think this coming season he has gained some confidence from public to where he could change his style a bit not have to play the top guys all the time
@@Mr.DudeLebowski Very good points.
A lot of things went right last year. Injuries, scheduling, career years. Even if there’s a regression Vancouver is a solid home ice playoff team. Goaltending and Peterson may make them dark horse contenders.
Season previews are here!!
Playoff team, yes. Where they finish in the division depends in Edmonton. If the Oilers start slow again, we'll see.
Me watching this now after they announced Demko is “iffy” to start the season 😢
If I had a nickel for every time the Canucks had 2 players with the same name I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice (Petterson and Greg Adams)
The core of this team is easy to like, fun to watch, and often dependable. Gotta figure out what held Hronek and Petty in the latter stages of the season/postseason, but I, as a Canucks fan, am finally really excited to watch games. This crew is really good at keeping themselves in games and squeaking out hard-fought wins, never mind also blowing out opponents. After some playoff experience, they can make cup runs!
In the short-term that this management team has been here, the team HAS been retooled. Demko, Hughes, Myers, Miller, Petterson, Boeser, remain the core, but everything else has been changed. The core is made up of Benning’s construction, but the supporting cast and coaching has improved by a lot. If the PK can perform in the top 15, this team can contend.
The question i have is if this team has bad luck and regresses like the devils. Not for lack of talent though. When healthy, this team slaps. BUT they were very healthy this year, and there is concern for injuries. I hope they dont though.
Thank goodness for Silovs because I don’t see Demko back.
@badassunicorn5351 we don't know the severity of Demkos situation.
Anybody who says he won't be back is guessing.
Christian Wolanin mentioned! Let's go!
Apparently he was going to get the call up before Juul, but had a injury at the time. Hoping for this year
I would say worry about demko
Arsedeep Pains should be an excellent 4th liner
Lmao
Podkolzin probably would have been claimed- so its fine i guess :( wish we took boldy
Caufield
maybe it's nothing more than just how you decided to breakdown the players on your board, but I love seeing nils hoglander at the top of the top 12 forwards list
Canucks are gonna win the cup next year
I have a feeling that ticket sales are actually going to tank this year in light of economical forecasts and, oh yeah, the fact that they DOUBLED ticket prices and basically priced out the little guy (AKA me).
LA breaks the curse and wins the 1st round this year then gets swept by EDM in the 2nd
As a Pens fan, I agree about Heinen I would call him a middle 6 guy. Liked him as a 3rd liner who could fill in on the 2nd for a mix up or a short term injury.
Call me skeptical, but with 32 teams nowadays, the odds are so low that you can win the cup. A lot of things have to go right..no key injuries, some lucky bounces, good team chemistry. I do give Tocchet and his team credit though for getting the most out of this group. Hopefully the new players and those lost is an overall plus.
Gotta love those hughes boys, LGD!
I would love for either Vancouver or Montreal to be the next Canadian team to win the cup if there had to be one
Go Habs Go.
never montreal.
They just traded a depth piece. They went out and got complimentary pieces. I like what they did and they have some expectations now. I think they fulfill them with a weak Pacific. 2nd in the division with 101-106 points.
I still think Silovs should be in the minors unless demko is hurt then you give him the starter games. Just so he still gets a bulk games
10:40 personally i call him “defensive petterson”
Vancouver will be around 110 pts to 115 pts and will finish anywhere from 1st in the conference to 5th.
On Puckpedia according to depth chart Heinen with Miller and Boeser but I could see him as a 4th line as well or possible 3rd line
I didn't know Mikheyev was off the team. They have no former leaf players at all.
when will hockey guy shannon take a trip to nyc so i can see him???
Will we ever know how and why Horvat didn't work out? Or did he, and players just move on? He went from top scorer and key faceoff guy to gone for not as much as you'd want.
I watched him played & other than needing to add a little weight, Lekkeramaki is Legit. He already has an NHL shot & he looks like a beauty.. Putting him with somebody like Pettersson could really be magic? What do you think?
I think the Canucks are making the playoffs. Playoff success, though? Not so sure. Perhaps if Petey bounces back, but it'll be hard to make up for the loss of Lindholm and Zadorov (even though I agree with not re-signing him, given the price).
Wishing Vancouver good luck in the upcoming season! 😀Looking forward to following their season although I’m mostly a Red Wings fan.
Go Canucks! What can Quinn do for an encore this year? Hope Demko stays healthy the whole year.
could make 2nd or 3rd place
What happened to Hirose? I don't think he was terrible in the games he played.
What ever they do this season, they have to give Silvis 30 games. Demko is a beast but we need him all year and healthy all year. There's only one award they want and we want. Go Canucks Go!!!
Am I wrong or did March not get put on the white board ??
missing the playoffs
Ross definitely missing the playoffs
Sad to see podz go but I understand. Just wish they could have gotten a young dman or a similar age back. Another player with potential upside.
That was a Benning pick tho and a botched one from the looks of it. I can't see how podz won't be a middle six power forward in his prime if he doesn't give up and run back to Russia.
I'm assuming he said he wants NHL ice time and the fact he's waiver eligible hurts his value. It doesn't hurt terribly yet but if he excels it might.
Wish podz the best. Hope he has a good career and maybe comes back one day as a veteran player!
No way garly’s played that many games with us. Feels like just yesterday I opened my phone at work and saw we got him
Can you do the Islanders next?
Dailyfaceoff has Engvall and Anders Lee on 3rd Line. I don’t understand that. Bottom 6 minutes for those two? Lee, lead the team in high danger chances last year. Engvall was the only Islanders player to stand out @ times in the Carolina series.
I am going by division and the Central is next after the Pacific is done.
How disappointing has Jett Woo been?
I really want to see Lekkerimäki and Pettersson make the opening night roster, but I don't know if that will happen.
People quick to judge slow to correct themselves
(Ezio Auditore)
Hey the sharks made a trade you should make a video on it
If Demko is Healthy and Petty comes out of his Coma they will go far 💯 😂
Canucks over achieved last season - with flourishes of incredible magic and then shamelessly SQUANDERED a chance to do something special by playing over 6 periods of fraidy-cat hockey only to really play the last 3 minutes vs Oilers. Weak and disappointing. Wake me if they make the conference finals this year. Will not be surprised if they miss playoffs. I care more about winning than many players on the team.
I do think the Canucks will do this year and make the playoffs. We will see if the top 3 lines are all playing well, they could get to the finals. I have no idea who comes out of the East this year. The Canucks played a few bad games after the half-way mark but they still played playoff hockey down the stretch.
That's A Lot Of Writing Down Holy Crap 😮
Why isn’t Luongo on the winningest list? He had 212 wins no?
Since 2014-15.
@@TheHockeyGuy Ohhh icic, thanks :D
Having the team healthy the full year is a good strategy for a successful season.
Vancouver is a playoff team this year for sure. I do not know why key players are not given a game or two off once playoff seedings are set. Health is even more important in the playoffs.
I still hate that the knuckleheads have a bias towards sweed’s and signed Pete for over 10 million, in my opinion it’s gonna haunt em because he’s just not worth a top 5 player salary. He’s to weak for the playoffs and you could sign 2-3 better guys for that one price.
Pettersson had more than a point per game in the 2020 playoffs and was dealing with a nagging injury in this year's playoffs. His salary will be eclipsed by plenty in the next couple of years. The cap is going to get near the 100 million range in the next couple of years, so that's why his cap hit is what it is.
yes, it will be a good season.
So if there was absolutely 0% chance Podkolzin would improve on the Canucks, then getting ahead of waivers makes sense.
But if the cost of holding out was just a 4th round, why not just hold out a bit longer?
My expectation is they finish top 2 in the Pacific and get to the west finals. High goal, but for a team wanting to win a cup, they need to take a step this season.
oh no no no no
Go Canucks!
Let's go Canucks!
Go Canucks Go
Definitely a playoff team this season.
I hope the Canucks finish 2nd in the Division. Do better in the playoffs, and Demko/Pettersson stay healthy..
.
With the shenanigans going on in Edmonton (offer sheets) I wouldn't be surprised to see the Canucks at the top of the Pacific again next season. We'll see, I don't think the opposition is as strong.
The Flames, Ducks, and Sharks are already eliminated. The Knights look to be in a retool/rebuild, and Seattle and LA are mediocre. So it’s really only between Edmonton and Vancouver who wins the division.
I think the Canucks and the Oilers will battle it out for top spot going down to the final game of the season.
Personally I see Vancouver taking second in the division and then who knows. Last year felt like they were weak in the bottom 6 and they addressed the issues
D Petey is still super young so no need to rush him
Not being critical but why do British Columbians pronounce "hundred" as "hunnert"?
To say Aman looked good is a huge stretch, Aman is awful, were you High when you did this one, Aman isn't even AHL quality, he's just awful.
GOOOOOO CANUCKS GOOOOOO. jk islanders are where it’s at
If Demko and our other top players can play the whole season they make playoffs, 1st or 2nd spot. If we have Demko for the playoffs probably a chance of making it deeper than 2nd round.
Conor Fucking Garland! What a stud
Why has THG Patreon page been removed?
What?
Nice try.
A month too early for this video? Meh .
Rather dissapointed that they gave up on Podz. Especially for what they got back.
how much more cap space needed to acquire top four defenseman?
KIngs, Oil, Canucks, Vegas... strange to think that the Pacific might not be the weakest division anymore... Of the other 3, I think the Canucks have the best chance of beating the Oil, which, again, feels downright WEIRD to say after the last few years.
Van can beat Edmonton but it depends on if Demko is healthy. Demko is the xfactor.
If Torts was the coach this year the Canucks would win the Cup.
This year, they need to be the CANucks instead of the CAN’Tnucks.
Also Linus Karlsson isn't good either, both of them should go back to the SHL, both horrible players. They suck period end of discussion.
Can any of you fine folks on the internet let

Such a weak division. They'd be better off calling it the "pacifier division"
2023 Cup Champs (VGK), 2024 Finalists (EDM). Maybe the Central isn't stronger than the Pacific.
@@TheHockeyGuy the ducks won't suck this year
metropolitan may as well be called the MIDtropolitan.
@@AlexPittiStockMan As a ducks fan I said that last year... I hope you are right but we need the young core to take that next step.
2007 Ducks we're unreal. Ryan Getzlaf, Chris Pronger, Scott Niedermayer, Teemu Selanne, Corey Perry. It just wasn't fair for the rest of the league lol
Just threw my girlfriend off of me
Is that what you call your box of Kleenex?
Someone MUST say it at this point... Pettersson is a head case. Dudes his own worst enemy. That ego is something to behold. He's gonna torpedo himself, and I hate to say it... It's my worst nightmare, but I've worked with talent before. I've seen folks with all the talent that everyone dreams of... and implode due to an egoic selfish mindset, and they never recover. Most end up unwell... some even end up on the streets.
i think you're the first person i've ever seen that thinks petey has a large, selfish ego
from everything we've heard and seen about him - including how his coaches and teammates talk about him - say how driven and motivated he is yet humble
he definitely has had some mental struggles, he gets in his own head a lot it would seem when he slumps - but he's probably not selfish like you claim
