Dans la LNH moderne, la vitesse est reine. Tous les directeurs généraux de la ligue sont à la recherche du prochain Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar ou Adam Fox. Non seulement ces joueurs savent patiner, mais ils peuvent aussi déplacer la rondelle avec autorité. Après avoir signé une prolongation de contrat à long terme avec Filip Hronek, Patrik Allvin a décidé de compléter la défense des Canucks. Il aurait pu acquérir des joueurs comme Tyson Barrie ou Justin Schultz, mais il a décidé de signer Derek Forbort et Vincent Desharnais. Cette défense a de la taille et de la fougue, mais en y regardant de plus près, elle manque de vitesse. Dans la vidéo d’aujourd’hui, je compare la vitesse défensive des Canucks avec les trois meilleurs prétendants de l’Ouest ! Si vous avez aimé cette vidéo, aimez, commentez et abonnez-vous !

Just to be clear, this is the average of the Canucks top 6's max skating speed. It is a very basic calculation that does not take into account TOI. So if Quinn Hughes is playing 30 minutes a night, the Canucks average speed will increase.
Size over speed, says any girl ever😂
Not worried at all actually, size and physicality wins cups.
The top pairing is top 3 in the league and have shown they can shut down the best players.
Im sorry but the avs d is gonna get slaughtered when the top pair isn't on the ice.
I'm cautiously optomistic.
that top speed is a horrible metric
My theory is Desharnais reached his top speed when he caught McDavid's draft. 😂
Canucks might want to make a deadline acquisition for a solid middle pair dman. Someone like Ferraro on the Sharks could be nice for them, although as a Sharks fan please don't take him he's all we have 🙏
Strong team defence trumps pure footspeed. Speed helps, but so does size and reach. Canucks went the size/reach route, but I think what they really aimed for, was making the PK stronger. They were a strong 5v5 team defensively, but just average on the PK. Both Desharnais and Forbort had elite PK results last year, 98 percentile IIRC. As divisional rivals, they are likely going to have to get past the Oilers for the foreseeable future, who have the best PP in the league. If you stop that PP: you stop the Oilers. I much prefer Desharnais/Forbort PKing vs Mcdrai, over something like Brannstrom/Kylington.
Yes we are too slow. I have no idea what we are doing. Foot speed and in puck moving and puck retrieval speed.
Most important is team & transition defense, not getting caught & being responsible. Canucks also have a Norris winner & Vezina caliber G.
Imo we def need another top 4 puck moving dman
JT miller can contain mcjesus
It's hockey. Size and strength will always be a factor. Nobody makes it to the NHL level without skating ability.
Honestly I don’t see this as a big problem. The way that they play is to bring the puck up and do a long stretch pass to the forwards
McDavid can't score when he's scared to touch the puck
Chill bb chill, hughes has best edgework in the league, who tf cares about being the fastest.
i am not worried about speed. i am more worried about getting the puck out from the back. also you should be comparing our defense to the other teams forwards speed.
THe best way of containing your opponent's forward's is to play in their end. Zadorov is one of the slower playing defensemen , yet he had one of the biggest impacts in the Canucks defence last season. Stats dont tell a story.
