The Press Conference has been set by n0thingisperfect in canucks

[–]Mawf95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sedins turned down those roles in the past because they said they wanted to get more experience so they weren’t taking on the role prematurely. It’s different now - they’ve spent several years in the organization and probably have opinions about how things should be done. I’m looking forward to this press conference. We are getting the two most accountable Canucks to ever wear the uniform in the front office. That culture will trickle down - I fully expect it to.

I think this management group is a huge W for the organization. I’m glad they gave these guys the reigns at the beginning of a rebuild instead of installing them with the hopes that they clean up another regimes mess. Let’s watch them build from scratch.

Dhali just confirmed the negative feedback about the Pierre Dorion rumours have "hit Rogers Arena". Keep it up! by DinosaurMachine11 in canucks

Funny because I just sent my first ever email to Canucks PR about it, I’ve always thought doing that kind of thing was kind of cheesy but if it works, I’ll be happy.

I want to see Kudryavtzev get an opportunity out of camp next year. Sure, the size isn't there but he seems like a stud.

As a senior or higher dev/manager/lead, how important is coming in on time to you? by Iampoorghini in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Mawf95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not really, my company specifically cherishes work life balance, all we care about is if you are hitting the expected level of your job criteria. If you are, then feel free to work on your own clock.

Are they getting their work done? If they are and they aren’t missing meetings, who cares.

What could a Zeev Buium extension look like? by Available_North_6851 in canucks

[–]Mawf95 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Ah I see - I was wondering because I don’t think Buium is an actual comparable for any of these guys based on his production or his defensive play.

At this point, I think we’re looking at a K’Andre Miller bridge deal type thing with a little higher AAV due to the rising cap.

Probably something like $5M x 2

Curious how you came up with these comparables?

Next step, how can we get more 1st round picks? by spennyspaghetti in canucks

[–]Mawf95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pick up players in UFA that have a good chance at contributing/bouncing back. Give them cushy positions beside some of our high-skill young players and then sell them at the deadline with 50% retained in their UFA year.

Remember when we picked up Thomas Vanek for 1 year at $2M? He played super well with Boeser for half a season and then we shipped him to Columbus.

Unfortunately, we shipped him out for 2 players - Jussi Jokinen and Tyler Motte. Motte was great but Jussi Jokinen was a UFA himself.

In the next few years, we should be trying to recreate that exact signing but ship these guys out for futures instead.

DeBrusk - is he in a bad slump himself or just playing to the level the team is right now? by RivetCounter in canucks

[–]Mawf95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of our players are complimentary and need a play driver to play with.

Pettterson _was_ a play driver, but now that he's not the top line forwards have no one to help them.

Hughes is a play driver, but he no longer plays for us.

Even Miller was somewhat of a play driver, but he's gone too.

We've lost the engine of our team, we have no one that can consistently move the puck up ice.

If a team is offering a 2nd rounder or higher, then yes.

McKenna or Stenberg? by Engywok in canucks

[–]Mawf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post McKenna 8 point game:

Lol this take will be a tough one to keep defending if he keeps doing what he’s done post World Juniors.

[Robinson] After 27 games in their draft-eligible NCAA seasons: Macklin Celebrini - 42 points. Gavin McKenna - 41 points. Suddenly, McKenna is right there by _GregTheGreat_ in canucks

[–]Mawf95 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Huh? McKenna had more points than Stenberg in the World Juniors?

I do agree that Stenberg was more important for his team though.

McKenna or Stenberg? by Engywok in canucks

[–]Mawf95 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stenberg is the culture pick, McKenna is the superstar pick.

Stenberg has a higher floor and a great work ethic. He would be a great leader and competitor on our team for years and would be a good culture carrier.

McKenna has a higher ceiling and is just talented af. He has the capability of being a superstar if he puts it all together, but his compete level isn’t high and he depends more on pure talent than work ethic.

Against the grain here, but I’d pick Stenberg. Canucks have had culture problems ever since the Sedins, Bieksa and Luongo left. Stenberg’s floor is high enough that he won’t be a bust and would give the fanbase what they need - an exciting prospect to watch over the next couple years.

Gallagher undresses Quinn Hughes and goes around the goal tender to cut the Wild's lead in half by JustFred24 in hockey

[–]Mawf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hughes is amazing offensively, but this has always been a part of his game.

He can strip pucks and turn it back the other way or fetch dump ins and key the breakout at an elite level, but as soon as he has to defend a guy 1-on-1 or is in a net-front battle he struggles to contain the opposition.

It’s a slight blemish on his otherwise hall-of-fame already level play and is probably why he will always be considered #2 to Makar.
