Can you really draw any conclusions from this team tonight? Just look at their defense—besides Hughes and Bear... none of these defensemen will likely be full-time Canucks next year.This is the garbage team we will see not making the playoffs next season so we may well make significant roster changes
Call it tooling if you want but this roster is going nowhere
We finally play a half decent team and look what happens.
Don’t buy that “Tocchet is turning this team around” crap the state sponsored media is trying to sell you
Dump any piece other than Hughes, Kuzzy and EP
OEL *AND* Myers off the roster? I would think Alvin should win executive of the year in a runaway vote if it didn't require giving up multiple 1st round picks.Can you really draw any conclusions from this team tonight?

Fair point. Maybe the Yotes would want Myers cap hit (but much lower salary after his off-season bonus payment) for minimal cost in terms of assets/picks.OEL isn't playing tonight?
I made the point specifically about Myers, Burroughs, Rathbone, and Hirose.
maybe now being mathematically eliminated we can see more balanced minutes and less DemkoPlaying Hughes 10000 billion minutes makes no sense at where we are in the season
In fact it is just stupid
This game should be an L and is so all is good.
You mean playing Petey and Hughes 30 minutes a night in meaningless games isn’t a good strategy? Shocking.Teams tired. You can see it in the way no one can make or take a clean pass and no sustained pressure. This riding the top guys into the ground can’t happen over a full season
And replaced by Oel?? That is a massive upgradeCan you really draw any conclusions from this team tonight? Just look at their defense—besides Hughes and Bear... none of these defensemen will likely be full-time Canucks next year.
