Pearson has 11 goals this season?

Huh. Could he hit 15 this season? Might almost make him movable this offseason.

The thing that's frustrating is that the canucks will win games against these preseason lineups, and management will sell it as "momentum" for next season, when it's just the canucks still trying to win against teams that don't care anymore.

Rinse and repeat.

PP is so bad they may as well just keep trying to score off the rush on the PP instead of setting up in the zone.

It's not a coincidence that the second unit looks way less stale with no Loui/Granlund. Sloppy, yes, but not stale.

We passed on Tkachuk sure but passing on Kopitar was even worse..

I’m actually not so sure. Tkachuck’s trajectory is looking nuts. He could surpass kopitar. And although Bourdon most likely wouldn’t have been better than Kopitar he was looking pretty good before the tragic accident.

I remember that draft, I was one of the few hoping Nonis would get Kopitar.

But if you remember at that time in 2005..

We just resigned Brendan Morrison to a 3 year contract
We still had Henrik Sedin, Ryan Kesler in the system...
So in the brass mind, they were set on centers.
