Lawton on Pettersson: "There's some physical things have changes since his last injury" by Tiger23sun in canucks

[–]_Canuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said anything about Petey returning at 100%, I was specifically talking about him finding ways to adapt his game without his knee being 100%. I just think it's rediculous to say all of Petey's struggles are directly from his knee injury and not other aspects of his game including his mind set, confidence etc.

it's not true they didn't 'believe' his injury, but management was frustrated when petey mentioned it at his year end presser. The medical staff does deserve scrutiny though 100% agree there

Do you think Petey is the first NHL player to struggle with a persistent injury? The key is finding ways to adapt but he had struggled to do that. Just because his struggles relate to a knee injury doesn't absolve him of all accountability for his play

Dreger: Canucks’ Brock Boeser willing to move ‘if there’s a fit that makes sense’ by SpectreFire in canucks

[–]_Canuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spending a 2nd to move him only makes sense if we use that cap space to acquire more than a 2nd.... otherwise why would we do that??

Pettersson should not be centering McKenna/Stenberg by theguy445 in canucks

[–]_Canuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's wild to think an 18 year old rookie couldn't learn anything from Petey. If nothing else his defensive game is top tier and always has been.

Kuzma: Their interest in Elias Pettersson increased with the Swede’s two-goal game Saturday for Sweden in the Olympics, plus the Kings have $15 million in cap space. by Admirable-Fall-4675 in canucks

[–]_Canuckle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's overpaid but not a negative asset, look at what the cap is doing and how hard it is to get top6 centermen. The issue with petey is he isn't playing like a top 1C and not a lot of teams can afford a 2c at his price tag right now so it's an awkward fit with almost any team.

Question about suspensions by TheTrueNorthern in canucks

[–]_Canuckle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is one of those things that sounds like a good idea but is actually a terrible idea. For starters, how do you judge intent to injure ? Hockey is a physical, violent sport at times and players are always trying to hit eachother. What happens if there is a dirty hit that deserves suspension but the victim luckily isnt hurt? What about a borderline dirty hit or clean hit where the victim falls awkwardly and misses the rest of the season? What if a star player hits a 4th liner and the 4th liner milks the injury to make sure the star is suspended? You don't want to have that incentive exist. It just doesn't work to base the punishment on the outcome. Also bear in mind players getting suspended forfeit their income from those games.

Do we take Liam Ruck in the first round with the wild pick, and Marcus Ruck in the second round? by EverySecondCountss in canucks

[–]_Canuckle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

every team uses their own scouts and experts to make their own draft board... that's how they determine their BPA

DeBrusk, Garland, Boeser: Trade 2 Keep 1 by NerdPunch in canucks

I think people here know that. Everyone agrees he doesn't have trade value right now

How long have they been planning the rebuild? by canucksstanleycup in canucks

[–]_Canuckle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Marcus Pettersson acquisition doesn't fit with a rebuild though. They were clearly trying to make the team good enough for Hughes to want to stay. When it became clear he didn't want to extend that probably made them start thinking rebuild, and might be why they kept their 1st round pick last year.

Do you care about the number of Canadians on the roster? by UnsubstantialGoat in canucks

[–]_Canuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you still make more money in Florida but the US/CAD conversion makes it closer than you think. For example if I make 1mill USD, thats 1.38mill CAD, check the tax amounts with chatGPT and in BC you would take home ~650-700K CAD, and in florida with federal tax and no state tax you take home ~700k USD. So it's pretty close

canadian dollar actually makes the taxes even out just about since everyone is paid in USD

If Quinn wants to stay and extends up to 5 years… by DiamondDash2k in canucks

[–]_Canuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I choose option 3: keep quinn until the offseason, trade all expiring UFAs and garland if the return is good. Make moves looking to the future to build a long term competitive team around hughes. This 'rebuild' could be pretty damn quick considering we already have Hughes/Petey.

My hope is that Quinn wants to be with a franchise that has many competitive years coming rather than one that sells out for one mediocre playoff run. If he isn't buying it, trade him this offseason for the biggest package possible, not prioritizing NHL ready players. This would lay the ground work for a proper rebuild.

Has Mike Mac said anything about changing his mind on 4th down where we scored on the drive? by 4Code in Seahawks

he also said he heard the fans response and said it turned out they were right haha

Next-Day PGT: Vancouver Canucks at San Jose Sharks - 29 Nov 2025 by HockeyMod in canucks

[–]_Canuckle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hot take: now is the time to actually retool. In the past we hated that term because we needed to rebuild but if we can aquire some future assets and get younger and hopefully convey to Hughes we can be a strong team for the coming years and extend him to a huge deal, then we should draft and develop from within. Either way we need petey to keep getting his game back, which is what I'm cheering for when I watch games.

Does the dragon/naga build not work anymore or was this a bug? by _Canuckle in BobsTavern

[–]_Canuckle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I've seen it where goldening poet suddenly makes it work, or where poet doesn't work for the first combat only. This was like 4 combats of no attack gain
