Agree that players need to be able to put in another gear in the playoffs. And get hotter and better as the season progresses. However if Petey wasn't hot in the beginning of the season would Canucks still have made the playoffs? You have to show up during regular season also.

The Canucks history is: Give the player a BIG raise and then productivity falls drastically. Time to end that cycle, get rid of them, and bring a new guy from the farm in. Start now.

was kind of digging your channel but the consistent click-bait titles have totally turned me off. later.

You are an absolute G big dog!! Great video, I’m excited for next season without a doubt

I really wish we could get ZaBoom! but.... if he wants the world, I think we have to really be careful. I think we must trust in Jim

I really think the reason we were able to do what we did this year was because of big D core. We were outshot in a ton of games, but our D could handle the big forwards on Preds and Edmonton. Watching Stars vs Oilers, Hyman and Draisaitl look a lot bigger and tougher to handle in that series. Which is a big nod to our D

The most I’d go with big Z is 5x5 I’d go after Dillon as a Cole replacement. Would love to have Z back as well. Can’t teach size

Keep Z, trade hronek, pick up dillon if they could make it work.

The Canucks need to get their roster back to 20 or 21 players with 14 already under contract= a minimum of 3 forwards plus 3 defensemen plus Silovs 26 million including long-term injury

I think you’re wrong about petey.. he’s good for regular season then will disappear come play off time. He doesn’t have the toughness or heart for playoff hockey. Same as the Sedins.

sign Z AND Dillon. Defense more important than forwards.

Alvin and Tocchet like big dmen. Zadorov is worth signing, Cole not worth signing and Hronek is a mistake that Allvin will have to live with. Allvin says that losing was not acceptable, I would think he would be grateful in making the playoffs. If he thinks that this team should have gone further with the players he signed his is not as experienced as everyone claims he is. Hopefully he is not caught up in his own ego and will make some trades and signings that do make this team better.

Developing a guy with 900 games to become a guy who gets points lol ?

I’m serious, not resigning Z could be this management team’s fatal mistake. If we don’t resign him and we make the playoffs, we are going to be very depressed.

you have no update. you have guesses and inuendo. You dont know what you are talking about

I'd like to see the Canucks try and keep Lindholm, Joshua and Z if possible. Hronek might be asking for too much, and if I had a choice I'd go with Zadorov. If both D-men are unsignable, I don't think a replacement or two would be hard to find. Dillon makes sense and a bottom six could be filled with what we have in Abby.

I have no clue why they would want to keep Mr Brain Fart Cole?..........Sigh

Big Z is not the best replace him end of story. bloody double traitor agent not forgiving him. EVER.

There is zero chance imo Zadorov goes back to Calgary. He's the one who wanted out of there and they don't see him as more than a 3rd pairing D.

Seravalli is an idiot. At best, he’s hopeless at impartial thinking and only echoes mainstreamed malaise. Covering his bs is just giving him artificial relevance.

I wish players wanted championships over money. 6m 7m really, what’s the difference? You’re already all millionaires with comfy lives, how bout you tell ur agent you want a Cup instead of a few more millions over the next cpl of years. Greed over life goals. Again.

Trade Petey an hronek an desmith For Luke + jack Hughes plus a first round pick Then you can keep Lindy zedorov Joshua and silovs

dillion had a bad hand injury in the playoffs

dillon is also a load. 6'3" 210 lbs. he's an unrestricted free agent. wouldn't be giving up a lot size wise.

Sign Zadorov, trade Mikheyev, sign Garland and just maybe we might have enough to sign Lindholm.

there are players that need to go simply to add cap space. even if you sell them for cheap it needs to be done te cap space is vital right now. But DO NOT give away anymore draft picks however.

if U can get Big Z 5 x 5 then do it But 6 x 6 maybe not

As a bit of a hockey nube learning the ropes can someone explain to me why Lindholm has such high value after his output this season? He's not someone I necessarily noticed during the playoffs. From what I understand he's a good two-way player and pretty versatile in terms of positions and lines he can play? I definitely noticed Big Z 😅

Big Z 5 ×5 .

They should have shut EP40 down in Feb so that they could have a 100% EP40. There was no point of having a 50% EP40 on the ice.

Hitting isnt EP 40's job. Just a dumb waste of energy/injury.

I wouldnt give Lindholm over 6 mill. Too old and not good enough for anything more then that

The Canucks have 14 under contract and need to have atleast 20 or 21 players 3 dmen and 3 forwards plus Silovs

Myers over Hronek? Dumb

Glad to hear Manny is back 👍

I have a hard time with the thought of bringing Coke back. His playoff performance was detrimental to the team. He was responsible for 3 goals against in one game with the last being tipped into his own net for the loss. I might be missing something but again maybe not?

Good report Griffin.Your analysis of what Vancouver needs to do next season to take the next step was spot on. Always enjoy your videos.

there is 2 types of players! those who want to be greatest and make proud place where they play and those who just do their job for money. its a huge difference in that

I really don't understand why a lot of people are pointing to the Sedins teaching Petterson how to be successful. They made it past the 2nd round 1 time in 17 years. -16 and -12 in post-season for Henrik and Daniel with not a lot of points. They were amazing in regular season, but it never happened in the playoffs. Florida over the past 2 years are closing in on equaling the Canucks success over the course of my life... and I'm not young at all 🤣

I dought it

Alvin is dumb enough to trade for kocaneimi 😅

What bothers me as a former competitive swimmer is the dismissiveness of some fans towards Pettersson having tendonitis. I'd be more than happy to give those fans a case of it if they like. It's terrible. You're not in excruciating pain, but you can't move the way you normally do, and your range of motion is severely hampered. You might not constantly wince, but it's very frustrating when you're trying to exert yourself or move around. Your brain says yes, your body says no. If that affected Pettersson's shot or skating, that makes perfect sense to me. The way he fell awkwardly into the boards after being hit by 2 guys in the Nashville series was a dead giveaway. No wincing, but just very awkward and the balance just wasn't there. Tendonitis can definitely make you feel "off." As for Hronek, I'd move him if he wants 8x8. I'd rather have a cheaper, skilled forward (perhaps with size) for Petey and Hogs and bring back Joshua AND Zadorov. If they can make a deal work with Lindholm, that would be a bonus. I'd also like to see them try to replace Hronek with a guy like Pesce, if possible. He might be a great compliment to Hughes. Myers can still play and if he's the 4-5 D, that could definitely work.

Nice report. Well done

Trade Elias. His contract is an albatross.

If the refs called penalties on McDavid they would still be it

Petterson Contract too big.Team broken up because of it.

Give Tyler Myers the last 27mill.

EP needs some offseason training from none other then The SEDINS!!! They use to Rollerblade in the hills of Sweden to strengthen them chicken legs! 💪🏽🫡

Peckersson has to stop pouting...its pathetic. 11.6 mil USD a yr... u need to play and act like a possessed soldier. Hughes and JT have this mindset and Petey needs to learn and step up. Pouting is toxic...

Just give Miller the "C"..
