Around SBN: Identifying The 19th-Best Team In Baseball

Canucks Development Camp Starts July 6th

We're the best. We're the beautiful. We're the only...Canucks Prospects.

From CTV:

The Vancouver Canucks development camp is set to open Tuesday, July 6 when 36 young Canucks are scheduled to report to General Motors Place in Vancouver.

Vancouver's prospects will participate in on-ice practices and off-ice activities.

The off-ice sessions, including a hiking trip up the Grouse Grind and a Dragon Boat run in False Creek, are meant to help players bond and get a sense of the city of Vancouver.

The camp showcases the Canucks top 2010 NHL Draft pick Patrick McNally.

Joining McNally will be the likes of Yann Sauve, Chris Tanev, Kevin Connauton and forward James Henry from the Vancouver Giants, Kellan Tochkin and Prab Rai. Cody Hodgson will not be there, but 2009 first rounder Jordan Schroeder will.

We'll post more names as we track them down. If you're around the Vancouver area and snap some pics, do send them in and we'll get them posted (along with credit to you obviously) ASAP.

I WANT THE CUP SO DAMN BAD!

by Beantown Canuck on Jul 2, 2010 6:30 PM PDT reply actions  

what’s the last time you saw a Canucks team this good on paper?

by Sean Zandberg on Jul 2, 2010 6:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

That’s a loaded question.

Some of the teams in the early 90s were pretty good.

The height of the WCE times was pretty good.

But there was always a hole.

Gillis seems to be plugging them up pretty quick.

Looking forward to seeing this group on the ice though. I would agree that they are pretty good on paper now.

But I don’t think we are done yet.

Even without an of the kids …and at least one of those should grab a spot (looking at you CoHo ).

Damn…I like summer a lot. But let’s get to fall already!

we look pretty fucking good on paper right now, but then again, so did Calgary last summer. :D

by Passive Voice on Jul 2, 2010 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well…maybe in some people’s eyes.

They haven’t let a young player play anything other than 4th line for a while now…until a young guy is injured.

Their 1st line looked great…on paper…but I would disagree with calling the Flames “deep” last year. They had some pieces…the D’ was looking scary…but..

The defense sure looked like it was made of paper though!

;-)

Said before

the season started last year that elflamo was in big trouble, they had 3 top 6 forwards and the dropoff was steep, not to mention a supposed #1 dman that had no brains.

You have to admit that the blueline looks deeper this year than last year. Especially when that number 1 dman with no brains is now our number 6 dman.

Oh you were talking about Calgary, nm lol.

OK, but say Bieksa stays and somebody else gets dealt instead, Bieksa isn’t necessarily the #6. Gillis told Hamhuis he’s not guaranteed the top 2 spot. He told Dan that the players that play the best are going to get the minutes

by Sean Zandberg on Jul 2, 2010 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yoata and I actually agree

on the quality of the Flames.

But

who else can they deal?

Everyone else has a NTC except Erhoff who was their best dman last year.

I sure as hell hope he’s not thinking of letting Edler go in favour of Biesuck?

No I understand that. I’m just trying to make the point that nobody gets the top 2 spot unless they earn it

by Sean Zandberg on Jul 2, 2010 10:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah

I’m just wondering wtf Gillisgan is thinking when he says they are keeping Bieksa.

by yoata on Jul 2, 2010 10:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think that is just posturing.

Having a good hand, but trying to disguise his strength.

Its probably Bieksa, but the thing that makes you wonder is the fact that Ehrhoff is going to get PAID next year…especially if this year is as good as last.

But with having no clause to protect him, I think it’s Juice.. His “skill set” could help a few teams looking to toughen up their D’.

It does seem logical, to trade him and keep Hoff.

by vancitydan on Jul 2, 2010 10:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

and really, MG could wait over a month to pull a deal. So why put that shit on Bieksa now??

by Sean Zandberg on Jul 2, 2010 11:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

Posturing, and...

…Ehrhoff would bring more back in a trade. So I think it’s remotely possible he could go that route as well.

Don’t get me wrong, Bieksa is rough, but Ehrhoff had a worse reputation a year ago when he joined the team. So it’s interesting to see what a year can bring.

Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.

by Jevant on Jul 3, 2010 7:39 AM PDT up reply actions  

Great points.

Yeah….we have all summer to get a deal. If there is truly almost ten teams interested in Juice though…imagine how many the Hoff have thinking of calling.

by vancitydan on Jul 3, 2010 7:53 AM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah but

Hoff was our best dman last year and I don’t see either Ballard or Hamhuis being a #1, Edler yes but maybe not quite yet.

Meanwhile Bieksa is far too inconsistent to even be a top 4 imo, so if it’s about making the team better it’s a no brainer who goes the way I see it.

by yoata on Jul 3, 2010 12:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

Geez…I agree again!

The thing with Bieksa is, if he ever plays to his potential, he can be a fantastic player on the back end.

His consistency is what has soured me too.

The more I think of it. He should get a 2nd line winger with size.

I wouldn’t mind a pick or D’ prospect back.

I said a few days ago to Elmo that we’d take Alzner from the Caps…but if it’s true that a lot of the other teams are looking at Juice as a D upgrade, then maybe a young guy they are looking to replace plus a pick coming back would work well too…

by vancitydan on Jul 3, 2010 12:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't see

that kind of return for a guy with 1 year left before UFA, especially considering everyone knows we need to shed an expensive dman now. I’d take a 3rd round pick for him at this point, but if they can parlay him into a better asset great.

I have a feeling that Gillis is sincere about keeping him though, which makes me wonder wtf he’s planning to do otherwise.

I hope you’re wrong. Why the patience from management with Bieksa? I gave up a long time ago.

by Sean Zandberg on Jul 3, 2010 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

Who knows

Why the patience with Wellfed, Bernier, Demitra, Hordichuk etc.

by yoata on Jul 3, 2010 7:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

Nobody

Wants to admit mistakes!

But yeah, I don’t really get why they would consider keeping Bieksa over a cheaper, better Errhoff. I thought the point of this offseason was to trim the shit off the D and replace it with better stuff.

If we lose Hoff or Edler it pretty much negates one of the Ballard/Hamhuis pick ups.

As good and sometimes great as Salo is when he’s healthy, a part of me would rather get rid of him over Bieksa…Just can’t rely on him

by Sean Zandberg on Jul 4, 2010 12:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

No way

Salo makes the team better when he plays, if that’s only 65 games then that’s what it is but you can’t say that about Bieksa, in fact I’d bet their record is worse with him in than without.

18 wins and 9 losses without him in the regular season.

23 wins and 17 losses in the 40 games before his injury and 8 wins and 7 losses in the 15 games after for a grand total of :31 wins and 24 losses with him in the lineup. (all regular season)

The winning % is better without him in the lineup FWIW

by Sean Zandberg on Jul 4, 2010 11:15 PM PDT up reply actions  

Thanks

much better in fact, as I had suspected.

And I know that for several years when Salo was in the team won at a much higher clip than without, not sure about last year.

I believe you are correct again, except I’m not doing the math this time :)

by Sean Zandberg on Jul 6, 2010 12:06 AM PDT up reply actions  

True, that. The most likely return is for picks, I think; maybe an AHLer or two.. Next year’s draft is supposed to be a deep one, much better than this year, so I wouldn’t mind an addition to our stockpile while we dump salary.

Ehrhoff may be the most valuable asset on the blue line, bringing the greatest return, but I don’t want to see that done. Yeah, he might have peaked last season – or he may have grown into the role, and I’m betting on the latter.

I think this year is Edler’s to take the #1 spot. He’ll certainly get all the chances in the world to do so.

Get rid of Ehrhoff?

Not at this stage in his Canuck career. Fagedaboudit.

That’s some awesome spin. TOP DRAFT PICK WILL BE HERE!!

He was the 4th round pick right?
