Sujet: Could they contend
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>You didn’t improve the team but spent valuable assets anyways. The only good player you added that makes the team better is Zub. Trading away Hoglander, Myers, and Pearson and replacing them with Dumba, brown, and Suter are not upgrades

How can some one trading away 3 firsts for meh players not be troll? There’s no way you honestly think this is a good AGM</div></div>

Your'e really not paying attention, I think it's a terrible idea to mortgage the future.

I'm trying to play out, if this core, including Miller, could contend this year if they went all in. I'm not focusing on down the road or winning trades, rather could you add enough around the edges to contend.

I would say no, but I'm going to take another crack at it. I would be curious to know if others could create a team in this fashion that could compete.

Sujet: Mikheyev is an awful signature for canucks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Warpbox</b></div><div>? He was on pace for 32 goals last year. Yes he didn’t get many assists but he was in a third line role. Most analytics have him as an option for a good top 6 player, and without him they don’t get Kuzmenko. The teams PK was awful and he’s an incredible penalty kill option. He adds more speed to the lineup which is something management wants and he can be a mentor for Podkolzin. The signing is fine</div></div>

Most analytics love his defensive play but are not confident in his ability to replicate his offensive numbers mostly because he jumped from 7% shooting to 14% yoy.

That said, he wasn't brought in to be an offensive star, if it works out that way, great, but he was brought in to help the PK and forecheck. He's essentially a premier Motte and they paid the price for him.

While I would of rather see them improve the defense with that money, they also needed to improve the PK and spped element of this roster too.

Sujet: Line Prediction
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>I’m sorry but these are not good. Miller and Horvat on the same line? Only on the powerplay… our centers will be Pettersson, Miller, Horvat</div></div>

No need to be sorry, while mostly just an exercise in boredom I do disagree.

Miller and Horvat were dominant paired 5v5 when Miller first joined the team. That top line could matchup and still produce offense at a high rate. Pettersson and Boeser add an excellent playmaker to maximize their shots and that 3rd line would be fast, annoying to play against and could still produce some offense. After watching Garland for a season, I think he's best suited as "the guy" on a line as he is most effective when handling he puck.

I also think they should load up OEL and Hughes to maximize OEL's window of good play. Would be a risk to hope Dermott/Rathbone/Schenn/Poolman could hold down a top 4 spot with Myers but preferable IMO to holding Hughes back.
