@ethanfromvan @Canucks If you're basing off of top end superstar potential you're right however we should be excited for a few more of them for their middle six/top 4 potential. Novotny, Rogowski, Kudryavtsev for example will play meaningful games for the Canucks someday soon.

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@NHL_Muse Jet Greaves comes to mind. Undrafted, underdog, great stats so far in his early career. Very underrecognized.

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@BR_OpenIce This season he will get injured and finish with under 40 points.

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@DailyFaceoff Line one and two are bad seconds lines, third line is a fourth and the fourth is a press box line.

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@seyerpa If he plays to the level of his contract, then he has trade value. Could be on the move?

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@CanucksArmy Tyler Motte and Jannik Hansen come to mind. Absolutely solid in their roles, fast, skilled, heart guys.

@taj1944 Culture destroyer 🙂‍↔️

@NHL_Muse Aku Räty

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@taj1944 Petey and a 2028 2nd for Pittsburgh's 2027 1st, Rutger McGroarty, Ryan Graves. Canucks rise one round in the draft, pickup a young prospect and take on an awful contract for a couple more years. No retention happening on either contract. Petey could thrive in Pitt.

@bigheadhcky Sounds like he could use a change in scenery, just like Kent Johnson 👀

@Zer0PucksGiven It's actually not... Gotta take bias out of it

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@CanucksArmy All depends on #2. I think that Stenberg goes 2, and Canucks go Reid at 3.

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@sekeresandprice Love the conversation being so controversial. Canucks finally get back in the top 3 and it's like fighting over guys who could go 3-10 on any given day.

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@Trevned2 @JamieDodd @ThomasDrance I genuinely believe that Malhotra would drop to 5 if Canucks trade down.

McKenna
Reid
Stenberg
Carels/Bjork/Verhoeff/Smits/Lawrence could all be that 4th selection depending on what Chicago wants. Could be a slam dunk trade for the Canucks unless Chicago wants Malhotra that bad

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@CanucksArmy You need veteran leadership during the rebuild so I'm fine keeping him. Not someone we 'need' to dump if we can't get decent assets in return

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@SatiarShah Low expectations, even if they don't win the lottery and it goes to the leafs or Chicago, they still sort of "win" third. Won't get the same quality of player but still a huge boost to the Canucks prospect pool.

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@Raymond_Hatt We all drank the Kool aid together buddy

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@Sportsnet650 When Petey played with the 6-40-9 line and they were trusted to produce offense it was a spectacle. If he had that chance again I bet he gets a spark. I just doubt that the Canucks lure than winger in!

[Branden @IsleCanuck]

@DonnieandDhali Choosing Miller over Horvat hurt too.
