A suggestion:
I haven't watched too much of the pre-season/training camp so far (I'm still not quite engaged since I've got my baseball and football cap on), but I'll make one suggestion:
Rutherford needs to down it a bit in terms of being obsessed with our terrible zone exits. Yes we're bad at this but Boudreau did a terrific job last year of covering up this weakness to a large extent. Was it a perfect situation? Of course not. However - if the Canucks are planning to improve their zone exits at the expense of team defense, and have intentions of winning games 7-5 and 6-4, then I highly advise against it. We aren't the Edmonton Oilers and we're not going to outscore our problems.
If our lack of zone exit prowess bugs Rutherford so damn much, then make the trade for Chychrun, use Chychrun-Hughes as our top pairing, and place OEL-Myers in a more ideally placed 2nd pairing.
