- Hockey Night in Canada Insider Elliotte Friedman joined the guys and talked about his impression of Connor Bedard, the temperature over the last couple of weeks around the Canucks and the biggest issue with the Leafs.
Chances are, the Canucks will be good enough to finish just outside the playoffs, which probably means getting a 2nd tier prospect in the 1st round and saga will continue for the Canucks. I don't think this franchise in over 50 years has ever had an actual rebuild.
The word ‘rebuild’ has only applied since the salary cap era. And when the cap era began, the Canucks were beginning to build the 2011 Cup team. So yes, there has never been a full rebuild but the timeline is a lot closer to 20 years, not 50.
@@hklinker still to not do it after the twins was just silly, there was a perfect window to do it. That is what TL wanted and left when his voice was ignored. Calgary is getting strong so Van had to fill that team that won't be terrible and will be either just in or out of the playoffs. Usually a late run to make sure they don't get a good pick.
That first statement isn't gonna happen
The two wins certainly have cooled down the angst among Canucks nation, but it does not change the objective fact that the team has maxed out the cap, still carries some big-ticket contracts long-term, and are missing some pieces on defence. I think if Demko can return to his form from last year, the team can still fight to get into the playoffs, but management really needs to have an honest assessment on the team, and make some of those non-emotional hockey decisions that they said they needed to make. I think both the OEL and the Miller deals are going to remain albatrosses for this team for years to come.
This team is still playoff caliber
I died when friedman said, "watching a horror movie or Sus-pants." I don't know what sus-pants are, but you can't trust them, they're sus...
They aren’t worse than Vegas was in year one. It was a state of mind..players labeled the misfits motivated..Coach Gallant drove the bus. Boudreau has a similar glass half full mentality. Not a Canucks local..but it is unfortunate everyone looks to failing moments to reinforce failure. Growing up in Boston Red Sox market the epic fails were everything..you couldn’t buy a more optimistic outlook. Until they won the World Series. It makes sense Bruins won Cup in Vancouver..a market just like their own..until 2004.. then anything possible.
Canucks will finish just outside the playoffs. They will feel good about how they finished the season, go into next season and cycle the same thing over and over again.
That won't happen, management won't let it. Screw off if you have nothing better to say
Delusional canucks fans lol
@@Badkhela We aren't delusional, you are
"yoU ArE" 🤪🤪🤪🤪 thats what you sound like as a delusional nucks fans whos team has never won the cup.
Horvat and kuzmenko need contracts, only outcome I see is trading someone like myers with a draft pick to make room. Easier said then done since many other teams are in similar situations
Easy to trade Myers and Pearson in the off-season
I honestly think Pearson is fine just not on the 1st or 2nd line
@@omfg322 Pearson's ideal spot is 3LW, but he can jump up into the top six in a pinch
get rid of Boeser
@@samjam6989 He's injured, but he's close to coming back
I belive they trade Horvat for a massive haul
Agreed
TANK 4💙 CONNOR BEDARD💙‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💙
Maybe the Canucks should start trying to draft and sign some actual Canadian players for a change? This team Euro-America game plan has won them absolutely nothing.
Connor Bedard is the only hope us Canucks fans have to fixing this rebuild
At 5ft. 9, Bedard is gonna need a Fleury or St. Louis size chip on his shoulder to survive the big boy hits in the nhl. Does he have that? Fair question.
except hes a more talented johnny gaudreau
and hes young he still can grow
Benning team needs to Dismantled or Buyout retained need to buy out oel Myers only 2 years left oel 2027 Benning forwards are slow and Declined needs to moved smaller contracts like poolman Pearson?
I often shout this exact thing to random people when I get manic
Screw you
Connor Bedard will pull an Eric Lindros with the Nordiques if the Canucks draft him #1 🙌🏾
hes from north van amd loves canucks good luck
Paul Kariya is from North Van too
@@ronaldjoe5529 kariya wasnt drafted first overall and never said he wanted to play on canucks
I never did say he was drafted nor did I say he ever wanted to play for the Canucks. All that was mentioned was he is from North Vancouver. Don’t over think
Canucks never get first round picked ? on a Winning streak now Russian are awaken Montreal and Buffalo was a fluke Ber
dard next McDavid canucks loss to many points for October on pace 80 points missed the playoffs again
Montreal? We played them already? Was I asleep? 🤔
I know there is new Management now but still can't forget Benning picking Olli Juolevi and passing up Matthew Tkachuk what a bone head move. If Canuck would have tanked these last 5 years Canucks management would have had awesome players and a great group of players to challenge for the Stanley Cup 🏆but Canucks screw it up alwsys and start winning in March/April Canucks are jinxed and always seem to move down in the entry draft so Canucks should TANK be the 32nd team and if they lose the Lotttery they can only move down two spots and be able to choose the Russian Kid who is like Oveckin or Fantilli, it's called idiot proofing the Canucks, they will get an elite player but unfortunately Canucks will be just mediocre and another ground hog year 🏒🏒🏒
I sometimes start a ea hockey gm mode and get Matt to play with Pett and Boes. Then I delete it because sadness, it was on our lap but we needed D they said.
Team likely wouldn't get Hughes if the picked Tkachuk over Juolevi. Don't assume that previous draft scores don't affect draft positioning in later classes
Canucks are just a mediocre hockey club they as usual will start winning in March/April but will just miss the playoffs and end up in no man's land in respect to 2023 NHL Entry Draft and will end up picking between 12th and 16th even sports talk show don't want to talk about what players that are in the middle of the pack. Tank for Bedard and get the local kid‼️‼️‼️ imagine Fans will go crazy and Roger's Arena will be sold out Bedard just sold out Langley Arena when Bedard is coming to play ▶️ TANK 4 BEDARD‼️
That won't happen. Screw off
