100% a playoff team , being a true contender will come down to demkos health
You overlooked a player that is about to breakout. Aatu Raty at Centre. IF Blueger does not make it back to start the season. Watch for Raty to get a spot. Other player that will surpass Juulsen on D, is D-Pettersson, although Juulsen is a RHD & D-Petey a LHD. But, D-Petey may start in Abby.
Watch for Canucks' to break the 2 goaltender rotation and go with 3. Until Demko plays 10-15 games without a knee injury problem.
I think they could make a run if they get hot at the right moment. I think the additions if Debrusk and Sherwood outweigh the loss of Lindholm. Keep in the mix until Demko is healthy and go pedal to the metal when he's back.
Last season they overachieved by a lot, I don’t expect them to win the division again but we ought to play that 2-3 playoff matchup
Vancouver is a very weird city, and the hockey fanbase is unlike any other in Canada…and not in a good way.
Maybe it's the lack of a hockey weather season.
Maybe it's the sheer cost of going to a game, in a place where rampant money laundering has utterly destroyed any connection the housing market had to economic realities.
Maybe people are just more focused on soccer and rugby (..which are also cheaper).
So for a Canadian franchise, and technically in a large and affluent (…!) market, this one really has some serious issues that affect the potential of the entertainment product.
Contender, weak division and conference, the forward group is deep enough, the goalies are good enough, defense first pair is also solid, but overall it lacks a little depth … if Demko is healthy and does what he does best anything can happen in the playoffs.
Maybe Garland gets dealt for some defensive depth.
Pretenders
They’ll pretend to contend.
LA finally gets a round 1 win
D’Lias Pettersson!
I think the Canucks have a good team. I was one of the few who thought they had a good team going into last year and even think I made a comment saying so on one of last year's preview videos. I don't think, right now, they are a cup contender. I think they can develop into a cup contender, even during this season. Some teams do get better during the season. It all depends on goaltending, and that means if Demok's healthy or one of his replacements up their game. They have the three keys to a championship team: an ace center (Pettersson) an ace d-man (Hughes) and a first rate goalie (Demko). For all the hype over Toronto the last ten years they've never had those three things at any time. Now the Nucks have to fill in around those 3.
The Canucks were fantastic last season I’ll give credit where it’s due
What you don’t mention the coaching, management and the team Moral right now.
Demko is being treated like him being playoff healthy it the priority.
Healthy demko, Allvin deadline acquisitions, The extra goal scoring in the lineup. The two main pieces lost were Lindholm and Big Z, Both picked up along the way, so why not do something similar.
This team is very much built for playoff hockey. You saw that when they were outplayed by EDM and NSH for games they ended up winning. When you shutdown the other team, you don't need to play better you just need to our score.
Shooting percentage was well above average for almost all their centres. I don’t think that’s sustainable. The latest of Demko is an ongoing injury that will likely linger the remainder of his career, meaning he will be a big question mark, pretty much forever.
If Pettersson shows up big this year to offset the regression from the rest of the team, I think they’ll land 3rd in the pacific and maybe make it through round 1 again.
One top pairing defenseman at the deadline and they could get to the finals
My pick to win the cup in 2024-25 (Vancouver). One of my best hockey pundit pals agrees. Some BIG ifs (like Demko, Demko, and Demko) but just a weird feeling, and several quality grit guys that I think get slept on a bit, like Hronek, Garland, and Joshua.
They will never win a cup in the EP-era
It’s the truth
In my opinion, I don’t think enough attention is being paid to Demko’s injury history. Yes, I understand that the sky is not falling and that Demko will return, but I also think that another serious injury this season (like he’s had in every other season), and the Canucks will have to consider other options if they believe that their Cup window is open now. Hopefully, this conversation will be irrelevant nine months from now.
Deep run and possibly cup winners imo.
If this is Vancouvers Stanley Cup year, I would suggest replacing minor hockey players with retired Canucks in the pregame skate. That would have the existing players appreciate how much past teams wanted the Cup.
I'll give them contender, like to see them make conference finals if not the finals
I don't think we're favourites at all, but I think we could be a dark horse. Just barely contenders.
Why not do this for all the other teams
