To be fair, Pods hasn't been given enough opportunity to play the NHL game. Give him a solid year on the 4th line and let him grow. In his Rookie season, he showed huge promise. He has the tools to be successful.
Pods has played under 3 different Canuck coaches, along with more NHL games than AHL. Not really enough time to develop properly in our farm system imo.
Exactly. You need depth in the playoffs and if your big $$$ player gets hurt, you are screwed. With 2 players like DeBrusk, if one gets hurt, you have a backup.
DeBrusk will but some contractual pressure on Boeser as well, if he can produce at the same rate as Brock how could he justify making $8m+ when Jake is doing it on $5.5m
As is usual with free agency, a whole bunch of guys who have almost no record of consistency, in fact many have had disappointing careers up until that last season, now find they need to make their bank or risk regretting not making money which secures their future. Yeah it's tough to blame the players and agents because the GMs are all ready to drop huge money on 1 or 2 good seasons. These are huge dice rolls and you just know after this last free agent day we will see a ton of regret in the near future. "What's that ? Did you say something Nikita Zadorov ? "
ALL these UFA signings (including their own) prove only one thing: The Canucks have LITERALLY ZERO PROSPECTS to take a single roster spot on the NHL team... Not even 3rd pairing / 4th liners... And THAT'S pretty sad.

He should have played a season or two in the AHL, he was rushed. He’s younger than half the guys down there now
Absolutely true that he's never really been given a legitimate chance
Your going to have to make a deal at the trade deadline for other good Dman. See who's available and who's preforming well before being hasty.

Tyson Barrie is out there, he’s from Victoria, might take a discount. He’s more of a shooter though
Go Podz!
I'd rather have 2 DeBrusk's than 1 guy making twice as much.

June 5th bday the best
@sekeresandprice , Do you guys think Jett woo will ever get a look with the big club ? Never hear anyone ever talk about him
1:43 That's what she said
Would’ve been a flawless day if we had signed Zadorov.
He didn’t want to be here. Canucks need players that want to be in Vancouver, not just a pay check.
And?@@user-ld6wo4rv8h
Hmmm....a puck moving dman that's still available. Tyson Barrie? Local and cheap. Y're welcome.

I’m just glad we don’t have zadorov in the western conference He can bully the east, fine by me
AAV for Myers is $3M
Podz requires waivers now i believe. If we send him down and losehim on waivers, that sucks....that being said, it is probably his last chance
Podkolzin has been a huge bust so far. Needs to step up and show he can play in this league.
ALL these UFA signings (including their own) prove only one thing: The Canucks have LITERALLY ZERO PROSPECTS to take a single roster spot on the NHL team... Not even 3rd pairing / 4th liners... And THAT'S pretty sad.
Podkolzin has been a disaster everyone wants it for him
