Sujet: Finishing touches from an outsider
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Dach could absolutely be a 2c next season

Maybe Boeser is a second liner, but Beau and Garland are third liner. Their comparable is Dvorak.

Ylonen and Pitlick are better than 99% of the players you named in the same category

Roy might not be nhl ready, but Beck 100% is. Could also add Slaf in that category

Monahan is fragile, but when healthy, he is better than Boeser by a lottt. And Anderson’s bad contract doesn’t define that he is a bad player. He is better than Garland and Beau

Guhle showed last season that he was a top 4 D. The question is more : is he a top pairing D. And Harris has prove that he is a good shutdown middle pairing D. Barron hasn’t been consistent enough to be regarded as a top 4, but he had some good games. Probably a top 4 by the end of next season. But if you prefer, add him to cheap labor.

Try again. Vancouver isn’t close to competing. They might get second wildcard just to get erase in four by the Oilers</div></div>

Miller-Pettersson-Boeser
Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli
Roussel-Sutter-Gaudette
Motte-Beagle-Eriksson
Hughes-Tanev
Edler-Myers
Fantenberg-Stecher
Markstrom
Demko

This is the roster that somehow won 2 playoff series 3 years ago including taking out the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Comparing this roster to what we have now, it is very clear that the current roster is much better

Beau and Garland are both much much better than Dvorak. Dvorak has not hit 40 points ever in his career whereas Beauvillier and Garland both did it this year. Dvorak is also one of the worst defensive forwards in the entire league (you even admitted it yourself). Dvorak is not a comparable for these players.

Ylonen and Pitlick aren't better than anybody in our top 9

You are also count on very young rookies to make an instant impact.

Also Monahan better than Boeser by A LOT? Now you have me laughing. Monahan hasn't been a top 6 caliber forward since his healthy days in Calgary. Come on now. Boeser had more points this season than Monahan has in the past 2 seasons combined

Guhle is pretty good with upside, but you are basically counting on him to be your #1 defenseman which he is not. The Habs have a lot of holes on defense (Yes they have a very good prospect pool, but those guys aren't ready yet)

Saying the Canucks aren't close to competing and then using this very terrible counterexample does not help your argument at all. Canucks are basically a good 3C, and top 4 defenseman away from having a legit team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Where is the top 6 outside of Kusmenko, Pettersson and Miller? Cause those 3 wingers are third liner. The defense is horrible outside of Hronek and Hughes. I could do the same thing with the habs

Superstar forward : Caufield
Superstar D : We actually don’t have that, so you beat us on this side
High end forward : Suzuki
High end D : Matheson, Guhle
Quality no 2 c : Dach
Reliable secondary scoring option : Monahan, Anderson, Newhook
Reliable everyday back end support piece : Harris, Savard, Barron
Reliable Pk personnel : RHP, Evans, Dvorak, Ylonen, Pitlick
Cheap labor option : Roy, Beck
Quality depth option : Kovacevic, Wideman
Backup option : Allen, Primeau

This team is a bottom 5 team and it beat you in most of the categories… you aren’t making the playoffs</div></div>

Brock Boeser is definitely a top 6 forward. He put up 55 points in 74 games which is a 60 point pace in what is considered to be a down year. Mikheyev more of a middle 6 forward, but works well enough with Pettersson and Kuzmenko that the line is super effectivey. Mikheyev can easily score 25 goals and 50 points. Garland also puts up 50 points with not much PP time, and not much time in general.

Hughes and Hronek are both fantastic. Cole had ELITE analytics last year. He may be old, but his defensive metrics are top of the league. He also had the 3rd highest time on ice on the playoff contender Tampa Bay Lightning. I'd say that is top 4 worthy. Now Soucy is not as proven in the top 4, but it is still better than whatever the Habs have got going on. Also every single player you listed in each category is worse than what the Canucks have. There is a reason that the Habs were bottom 5 last season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Honestly, I'm not sure replacing Turbo with Taresenko is an improvement. They should only look at moving Teravainen if he's asking for too much money, which he's not really in a good position to demand considering he is coming off of a more pedestrian season by his standards</div></div>

I agree, just based off of some of the noise coming from around the team it sounds like they’re keeping options open to bring another top 9 piece and turbo is one of the guys they’re looking to offload if necessary.

It’s also not a very canes like move with this front office. They rarely sell low on guys and turbo is a good bounce back candidate - had some injuries and personal stuff last season and is in a contract year. I don’t think they realistically extend him until next summer, but I also don’t think they move him unless a clear upgrade is coming in.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ennis</b></div><div>If this is how you want to spin the narrative to fit your argument, I won't hold you. No idea why you're so salty about this conversation. Sheesh, I touch a nerve?

Bear is expected to miss a few months, but be back around Christmas time. If he was so good, teams wouldn't mind waiting and they'd sign him. I'm sure Vancouver management would have loved to give that 1.9m to bear instead of a 4C Teddy Blueger.

Also, Fabbro is much better than when you traded a 5th for Bear. I don't really care if you disagree, nor do I care if you don't think Fabbro is worth a 2nd. He is. And if Bear was so good, he'd be signed and on LTIR until he comes back. You know, like teams do with good players? Lol. Really going hard in the paint to defend a dman who your team didn't even bother to sign.

But keep crying because I traded Fabbro for your 2025 second.</div></div>

Salty about what? You overrating hyour players? I couldn't care less. I'm being realistic. You still have not justified how Fabbro is 8 times more valuable than Bear with retention. Also, yes signing Blueger instead of Bear who is going to be out until next year makes a lot of sense. No point in paying someone who can't play. I'm not saying Bear is super super good, but he is simply better than Fabbro who has been playing sheltered minutes and posting only ok results

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ennis</b></div><div>"Fabbro has shown nothing to suggest he is worth a 2nd" Fabbro is a great transition defender and had a genuine top 4 defensive impact last season. He's worth 2.5 and is an expiring RFA. A second is a pretty fair asking price.
The Bear comparable is weird considering you paid a 5th for what was essentially a 7th D before you acquired him. You took a gamble. If you want to do that again from some other team, go for it.

And if Bear was as good as you're making him out to be, the Canucks would have found space to resign him and waited until he was over his injury to return. Yeah, so good he walked to FA and is still unsigned lmfao.</div></div>

Everything you just stated, Ethan Bear had those same qualities. Ethan Bear is a better player than Fabbro, plain and simple. Also had retention. Still not justifying how Fabbro is 8 times more valuable than Bear. Whenever you come up with a lame justification, let me know. Also you are clearly out of touch because the only reason Bear isn't signed is because he had an injury that will put him out until next year. Maybe try doing some research before saying stuff you don't even understand

Also, the analytics don't agree with him having a top 4 impact. In fact, the fact that he is an offensive blackhole actually outweighs his defensive abilities. He had a -WAR and -GAR meaning he was below replacement level
