I think we see a rejuvenated, reawakened Canucks next year. A new defensive structure means that Demmer won’t get absolutely murdered every night, so expect his numbers to go up. We have someone to take the defensive load off of Bo in Dickinson, so he should be given more offensive freedom. Expect a big year from him. OEL, while overpaid, can still play. It’s a major risk, but I think he has somewhat of a turnaround season. He can munch minutes, so it takes the pressure off of Huggy in the D and O zones. Expect a big season from him too.
We keep forgetting about Garland too. This is a player that could’ve picked up the ninth overall pick on his own, and is everything we have ever hoped that Hoglander will be. Tenacious, skilled, fast, and high IQ. I imagine Garland has a big, big year with Petey and Brock or Bo and Piggy, and I think we got Hoglander a mentor with this trade.
If Klimovich hits, who is a major boom-or-bust pick, then we have major offensive depth in the coming years.
Miller - Petey - Brock
Garland - Bo - Piggy
Pearson - Dicky - Podz
Young, defensively responsible and high octane top nine.
OEL - Myers
Hughes - Hamonic(?)
We have to wait and see how this top 4 plays. I think OEL and Myers are actually a decent fit together under Brad Shaw, and maybe the defensive inconsistencies can be remedied a bit this season. I think Shaws emphasis on forwards defending will help, but a minute eating top pair is something to be excited for.
There’s a lot of risk this season, but I’m optimistic that things will work out.
