Booth, Vrbata, Demitra (rip), Roy, Vanek, Loui... come to mind.

Geuntzel would be amazing, I'm hoping we do!

Never really thought much of Guentzel because we never see him but finally looked up his stats, pretty consistent 40 goal scorer damn..
Will he work with Petey though? I dunno

Potential offer to Guentzel:
Seven years, 9.5 million per year. https://www.canucksdaily.com/nhl-tea...eady-drawn-up?

If we're gunning for Guentzel, we're probably turning the page on Zadorov/Joshua.

Canucks don't need any more of those long ass contracts ... find 27-30 yo players who are on their last year of existing contract.

Can we say the same with playing with Petey?
If you commit on Guentzel long term and he doesn't gel with Petey, that will be a big problem.

Guentzel seems like the real deal...
I wouldn't really consider it taking a chance. Proven player that's going to be expensive, but you know what you're getting. Not a potential late bloomer or a redemption project.

It also helps that Canucks coaching staff/management have direct experience working with Guentzel.

To management's eyes, he's a known asset. He also proved what he can do when no longer playing with Crosby via the Canes. Mikheyev's agent has been given permission to facilitate a trade btw. More dominoes are beginning to fall after locking up Hronek.

I hate how there isn't a game every other night. This series feels like such a drag. This scheduling sucks.

Boeser did it a few years ago and Garland did it last season.

How do these guys get over the jet lag especially in the back half of the series when they fly back and forth every game? At least in the first four, you're at the city for a bit of a stretch.

I guess that's why they have the extra day off between games this series with the longer flights
Big game tonight

Draisaitl seems improved compared to the last game. Before that PERFECT pass he almost beat Bobrovksi straight up on the first shot. He barely stopped it

It would be absolutely destruction if they manage to get reverse swept.
In any case, am rooting for EDM to win this purely on the basis that agame 7 will be pure entertainment.
