Rumor: Swedish Chef is Creating a Smorgasbord of Opportunities for the Canucks

[Izzy Goodenough]

So far the Swedish Chef has provided a recipe for a Master class in team Reconstruction.

Allvin continues to make strategic acquisitions (Zadorov, Lafferty, Raty, Friedman, Bloom, Hronek) and signings (Kuzemenko, Mikheyev, Blueger, Super, Cole, Soucy, Aman, Johansson and College UFAs, McWard, Hirose and Sasson) etc.

Here is another "Player buys a house in Vancouver" rumour, like Marian Gaborik.

But if the rumour is true, Kessel is next d'oeuvre for the Swedish Chef:

Kessel sucks. How would he be phenomenal in Vancouver?

He got healthy scratched during the playoff run for a reason.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Cool man

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Kessel in Vancouver would be phenomenal—a must buy jersey.

 

[BLNY]

How are the hot dogs?

Chief or chef?

 

[Tact]

lol really? Delete this

 

[Kranix]

He sure is the puppetmaster of the Canucks. Nobody above him calling the shots.

 

[AHLdepth]

Gotta believe we have at least one upper hand in negotiations

 

[Dirty Dog]

Chief or chef?

Chef. Swedish Chief was not politically correct

 

[innitfam]

Who sits for Kessel? Joshua? Lafferty? He doesn't make sense to add to the roster unless another trade happens.

The original title said chief when I think he meant chef.

How are the hot dogs?

best costco hotdog access in the league

 

[AndreRoy]

How are the hot dogs?

It’s been a while but I recall Japadog being pretty decent.

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

How are the hot dogs?

Been a few years but last game I went to I had one with crunchy lil buffalo chicken nugs on it. Pretty damn good.

Not sure Phil will be able to afford one on his expected salary though.

I'm not gunna pretend I know Vancouver's roster super well but they did just move out Beuvelier

Who sits for Kessel? Joshua? Lafferty? He doesn't make sense to add to the roster unless another trade happens.

He could fit next to Pettersson or Miller if he earns it, PDG is playing up and down the lineup. He could also fit in the bottom 6 and give it some skill. The Garland line has some grit but could use a bit more finish.

Good vibes, loves hot dogs, 3 cups. It's the intangibles he brings.

 

[God]

It makes little sense for us to acquire him, and yet, I love Phil Kessel so much that I need it to happen. This season will be peak entertainment with a Zadorov/Myers pairing and multiple Phil Kessel sightings at Costco (I will camp there).

Great! Thanks for revealing our secret, now other teams will try to steal it




Really don't see the benefit of adding Phil, we just traded another floater forward out.

 

[Gstank]

Someone tell him about japadog and he will sign immediately

 

[Warh1ppy]

The question I have is what does he bring to the team that the kids don't? The Canucks can score; we've seen that. But they seem to fall apart under pressure or under speed.

kessel adds scoring and some veteran presence which is great but he doesn't bring the speed or sustained pressure via physicality or defensive presence this team seems to be lacking.

I'd say they have plenty of guys in the minors who can do this and should spend the $ on a defenseman like Bear instead

There's a couple of great hotdog stands in the arena too.

 

[Siludin]

Kessel is gonna be a hire rather than a sign.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

I saw Phil Kessel buying a bbq in Vancouver
