Cole got bag for a older defenseman. He was hard to defend against, a great tip in touch for a dman.

[@wellyforpm]

yea, great tip ins for the other team....

[@boxvango9021]

Yes, Cole had a few go in off him in the playoffs, but he logged a lot of minutes. Cole is better than what's on our 3rd pairing, now. I hope Forbort can stay healthy.

[@jacksonjacob7791]

Cole was good except for the last series where he was playing injured. According to Dhaliwal he cut his foot.

Rob is bang-on about the D group. They really need to add a quality 2nd pair D. I think it will happen but it might take a trade or two. Allvin seems pretty good at plugging holes. Two months ago the UFA picture looked pretty bad & he got that worked out with only Big Z a significant loss. All in all very well handled. He deserves an award for dumping Mikheyev's contract alone. Keeping Joshua was big also. There would have been plenty of bidders for him.

He’s right that fans have put a lot of trust in management and the coaching staff to 1) find players, and 2) get the most from them.

[@harris17100]

Another puck moving Defenceman is needed!

[@jayb4779]

You know tho . Everyone saying they don’t know about this team for this upcoming season . But we all trust the coaching staff . But I think everyone said that last year (including myself) we wouldn’t make the playoffs . And look what we did . So that being said I have A LOT of confidence in this management group and coaching staff . And good god I hope we win the cup soon Omg what a party it would be in BC/Canada

[@wellyforpm]

They told Cole after they were eliminated that they weren't offering his a contract. But our d blows at this stage....

[@marcusmiller3491]

Awesome

[@Steveriknows]

Canucks have enough d-men and I'd imagine Juulson thinks so as well. Ideally they'd free up additional cap space and extend Brock. Next year will be tight with OEL's 4mil hit.

[@coltonnaslund]

I like the forward group. The d core is depressing. Our number 5 and 6 guys are 7,8 guys on other teams

[@coltonnaslund]

And 3 4 are great 5 6 guys

[@murrayreid]

Hang on guy’s if think there was tampering before the free agency,surely they must have harsh penalties say like they loose a first or second round pick or even harsher penalties

[@MarkR1111]

No Pettersson on Sweden’s top 6

[@jeffmill6683]

Cole made way to many mistakes. He reminded me of Meyers of 2 years ago.

[@user-vo3ur4wd1s]

Crazy how everyone is a GM …..

[@dragon-ir8te]

your point is?

[@SleepyChateau-ul9udsleepyvjate]

It's easy don't play Demko Hughes so much burnout 🤠🍻🚬

[@kaptaan_original]

Matt should quit mumbling

[@user-vo3ur4wd1s]

Sounds like this guy is looking to critique the management from outside… it’s easy to criticize. Are you guys in the meetings are you all writing the checks or contracts want to see how you do better .. oh wait ! Get a GM job first .. let’s see how you negotiate with the cap a greedy players

[@kaptaan_original]

Ian Cole is not the guy
