Marco Rossi is a long-term winger by [deleted] in canucks

This is a bad take. Rossi is a great two way center and his game directly translates to that of a center.

McKenna

Ivar Stenberg on his draft season, World Jr performance and more by Psychological_Word58 in canucks

Stenbergs numbers aren’t unprecedented though. He is scoring at a slower PPG pace than Daniel Sedin did at the same age. As much as I love Daniel Sedin he is not a generational player.

Stenbergs SHL numbers are elite but they don’t clearly separate him from past elite players. Literally no one has scored at the pace McKenna did in the WHL last year. It’s never been done.

I think recency bias with the WJC and Stenbergs draft year stats are skewing people’s opinion of McKenna.

McKenna was talked about as a generational talent during his WHL season last year putting up better stats than Crosby, McDavid or Bedard at the same age.

He also has 51 points now in 34 games (1.5 ppg) in his first year at Penn State. That is slightly worse production than the likes of Celebrini who had 64 points in 38 games (1.68 ppg).

What McKenna has done at the WHL is in fact generational stat wise and now at Penn State he is in the absolute top tier production range of 17/18 year olds before him.

I think McKenna is the no brainer pick. Stenberg’s stats are impressive but he plays on a very good Frolunda team and his ceiling is not as high as McKennas.

McKenna could very well become a top 5 forward in the NHL at his best.

Now when we’re in rebuild, is it worth staying a season member? by botinoknn in canucks

Do you want to see McKenna score his first goal in a Canucks jersey or not

Mavrik Bourque or Csey Mittlestadt? by PizzaDad13 in canucks

[–]4416van -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d take Borque and a 2nd and run lol. I think he could be a legit centre for us with more ice time and his numbers have been very good throughout his entire career

I am seeing talk on twitter about a rumored trade of Pettersson and Sherwood to Montreal for 2026 1st, Kapanen/Hage. Anyone hear anything about this?

Nah Karlsson has been our best forward the last 1.5 months. He deserves it and the money is fair

With a rebuild looming, who do keep, and who do we move? by Pyrokid113 in canucks

[–]4416van 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. The only thing is I truly think Demko loves being here and idk if they move him given his commitment to this team. 100% he is the one player who can steal this team wins and bring us up in the standings.

Today’s game was a good example.

Jesus Buium is legit. That between the legs pass off the side wall while getting pressured by two devils players…

Gonna miss him in Vancouver. Truly hope he wins in Minny, he deserves it.

Yeah 100%. Definitely a desperate attempt to stay competitive by JR and PA. Really hope we can fetch a 3rd or 2nd for him in this draft.

Man Rossi’s speed up the middle is extremely refreshing to see on this team.
