- Welcome to episode #35 of our Franchise Mode series with the Vancouver Canucks on NHL 24! After a.. ridiculous.. exit in the postseason, we're at a crossroads headed into year #10 as we could leave the core that won us 57 games untouched, or consider making a big change. Leave a comment with any and all of your suggestions and I'll do my best to incorporate them into the next episode! :)
Canucks Google Sheet: docs.google.co...
The Vancouver Canucks are a franchise that have been through decades of misfortune, mismanagement, and, really, just pure disappointment. With nothing to show but three Stanley Cup Final losses in their 50+ years in the NHL, the Canucks are on the brink of returning to an all-time low as they have only made the postseason twice in the last decade, have one of the shallowest prospect pools in the league, and are easily in one of the worst salary cap situations. With no where else to turn, Canucks ownership has made a call to GM Data and his team of Assistant GMs to do the impossible: fix the unfixable team.

Great draft! Love seeing all the good defensive prospects being added. Is Kravchenko the answer to our second line chemistry? I don’t think he should start the season in the NHL, but if people are slacking and moves need to be made then that OFD/DFD chemistry would be nice to see on that second line. If everything‘s working on the blue line, I would say we don’t force anything. Also, I’m so down to see what happens with Dobson line 1. That’s my two cents. Thanks for entertaining my comment here! Go Nucks!!!
Thanks Caleb! You and me both!
Kravchenko seeing time at RD2 is a very interesting idea.. Aside from the fact that he'd have to first impress us enough to play his way onto the team, I'm more concerned with the idea of moving Wallace down to the 3rd pair. We'll see how he and Arvidsson do on the second pair together as two OFDs and go from there. Like you said, if all ends up going well or well enough, no need to force! And yes, we'll be keeping a very close eye on Hughes/Dobson 👀
Thank YOU for leaving the comment to be entertained! Much love and go Nucks! ❤️
Great draft and offseason Data!
Forwards and Goaltending look really good! I definitely think that Beaulieu should remain our 13th forward this season; I don't think he would get any benefit from playing in the AHL, and having Beaulieu in the NHL would give us some physicality in our lineup. I do think that Tippett should stay in our top six, but we should be prepared to make a deadline acquisition for a top six forward to replace Tippett, should he fail to perform again this season.
The real question mark comes with our defense. Ideally, I think Quint and Kravchenko should be our bottom pair, so that one or both of them could grow. But, we also have Hronek, who is a franchise legend. I don't think, realistically, that he would want to be traded, so we have to make some kind of decision regarding him. I personally see two options.
1) Quint and Kravchenko become the bottom pair, and Hronek is our 7th D. We then trade Lebedev.
2) Hronek has a guaranteed spot, and Quint and Kravchenko battle it out for the last spot. The winner stays up and the loser is sent down to the AHL. Lebedev is made 7th D.
Personally, I prefer option 2. Hronek has been here since Day 1 of this series, and he deserves to go out playing, not sitting in the press box. Storyline wise, I much prefer that. Unfortunately, that could have the adverse effect of stifling growth from our young players. It's sad to say, but Hronek feels more like a brick wall to our younger players rather than an active contributor to our team.
Anyways, all the best Data and I know you'll make the right decision!
Hey Chromium thank you kindly!
Makes perfect sense on Beaulieu and Tippett. For defense, I 100% agree that Quint/Kravchenko would be third pair in a perfect world, but we would be very hard pressed to even find a storyline for trading Hronek, let alone wanting to do it with his status on this team. That being said, Quint/Kravchenko might works as a pair NEXT season but for THIS season, option #2 makes a ton of sense. Thankfully, that brick wall that you mention may not be a big deal as Quint will likely never grow if history is any guide to us haha. Kravchenko is the one who I have more faith in. I think it works fine and we'll see who impresses us in the preseason!
Thanks for your thoughts and the love! Looking forward to seeing you for the start of year #10 :)
Good offseason data, maybe at this point we should aim for a 40 win team again because they seem to be gaurenteed to win the cup! I like this new look squad, the bottom six is very young so hopefully they sim well, if not we may have to go acquire a veteran.
The defense is obviously the big question mark, wallace and ardvisson as two ofd on a pairing scares me, but on the other hand i think we need to try a top pair of Hughes-dobson just to see if it would work. Quint should also battle with kravchenko for a bottom pairing spot. We also know hronek can play anywhere in the lineup so that’s a good bit of insurance. As per usual the preseason will reveal all, we can always switch it up.
We need to trade out esche and lebedev- maybe for a 79 ovr veteran who can slot into the bottom 6 if nessecary? As I said the youth in the bottom six scares me. If we want to upgrade our forwards, kempe, raymond, yammamoto, and snuggerudd would be good options, although we can probably take care of that at the halfway point. Excited for the season, thanks data and go nucks.
Haha thanks Gaben! You may be onto something! 😂 Agreed that the bottom 6 is exciting but may need a veteran presence if things start to deteriorate. We should know by the halfway point.
100% agreed on the blue line thoughts! Well said.
Esche will be on his way out but I could see Lebedev staying as 7th D if the odd man out between Quint/Kravchenko gets sent down. For trade options, some of those higher end guys like Raymond and Snuggerud especially interest me, but it'll come down to Tippett's pace at the halfway point.
Looking forward to our big year #10! :) Thanks again for your thoughts and see you at the starting line!
I think you should package Lebedev with a couple of those 2nds to try and get a 1st round pick, then flip that 1st + Tippet for Raymond. Other than that, I think the team is set. I'd maybe sign Hronek to a 1 year extension at around 4 mil or less if you can.
I believe it's worth a shot at trying Hughes with Dobson, as they are our best defensemen. Let Ardvisson and Wallace go on the second pair, I think both of them being offensive defensemen, we should give them a slightly longer leash to see how they can perform together. 20-30 game trial as a pair, and if it doesn't work, switch it up.
Only other thing is to add the born leader X factor back to Podz. We're going to have to keep adding it as he is older so he'll keep losing it, but he's earned that.
Hey Zach thanks for your thoughts! Interesting plan to acquire Raymond.. I could see it. Both he and Snuggerud are really tempting top 6 options to me, but I think it'll all come down to Tippett's pace by the halfway point of this next season. If we do end up thinking that we want to replace him, it looks like we should have the value to acquire one of those players. For Hronek, we'll wait as long as we can on him so as to have a better idea of what spots in the lineup will be available (on top of the fact that his asking price should continue to come down).
Agreed on the first and second defensive pairings! We'll give them a shot and see what happens. And yes, Born Leader X-Factor back to Podkolzin! I'll have to remember to keep doing that at the start of every season 😂 Thanks for taking the time and we'll see you for the start of year #10! :)
I think the top defensive pair should be Hughes and Dobson because they have both had great production pairing with the other's player type before, Hughes (OFD) previously pairing with Hronek (TWD) and Dobson (TWD) previously pairing with Arvidsson (OFD). Also, when these pairings happened, Hronek and Arvidsson even had good production while pairing with Hughes and Dobson respectively. I am confident that Hughes and Dobson will pair well together due to previous evidence. However, I am concerned about the 2nd pair of Arvidsson and Wallace. Maybe you can give them a 15-game trial together in the regular season to see if they work well together. If they do, then you can keep them together. If they don't, split them up, preferably keeping Wallace on the 2nd pair for growth reasons, and having Quint or Kravchenko be his defensive partner there. Put Arvidsson on the 3rd pair with the other one of Quint or Kravchenko. Like I said, you don't have to split Wallace and Arvidsson if they perform well. Also, for growth reasons, you should put Wallace as the distributor on the 2nd pair. The 3rd pair should start out being Quint and Kravchenko, as we need them to grow and I don't think that will happen if either of them play in the AHL. You should keep both Hronek and Lebedev for depth, as we did have a lot of defensive injuries last season, iirc.
I do think we should trade for Mikael Samuelsson from Ottawa and also Lucas Raymond, depending on Raymond's extension status. Does Raymond have an extension? If so, what is the salary and term? If it is too rich, we shouldn't trade for him. I would assume that Ottawa is a buyer, so they would probably want Tippett and Goldmann (possibly Hronek, if you need more value). Detroit is a seller, so they would probably want assets like Goldmann, our draft picks, and Esche. In one of these trades, we should acquire a better 13th forward and send Beaulieu down to play bottom 6 in the AHL. If we trade Goldmann, we should also acquire a veteran 4th line center as well.
Thanks Gen Z! We're just about in 100% agreement on all of those defense thoughts. The only thing I'd want to be careful with is the storyline of playing Quint/Kravchenko as a pair over Hronek, leaving him as 7th D. He's been nothing but a rock for us and, although aging and regressing in overall, continues to deliver on the ice. I don't think he can sit over two rookies unless his production/ability took a nose dive. With the preseason and the start of the regular season to use for some experimentation/audition time, we'll be keeping an eye on Hughes/Dobson to see if the OFD/TWD connection can give us a powerhouse pairing, Arvidsson/Wallace to see if two OFDs can work together well, and Quint/Kravchenko with Hronek once one of the rookies stands out enough to not be sent back down. Either one going back to the AHL wouldn't be super helpful, but we also know deep down that Quint will likely never be anything more than a third pair guy. Kravchenko is the one I have more faith in seeing growth from which is why I'm already leaning him for the third pair but he'll have to earn it. Sorry for the paragraph on that one 😂
Definitely some interesting trade options. Esche will be on his way out but a Tippett move would likely come at the halfway point at the earliest and Raymond (pending a look at whether or not he has an extension) may be the most tempting replacement. Same for Snuggerud. Samuelsson would be a nice piece to acquire but I also want to be mindful of needing trade value if we do end up needing a new top 6 forward in the near future. A lot to keep in mind as this tenth season gets started so thanks for leaving so much to think about! :)
awesome video buddy
Thanks Vinnie! ❤️ Next episode up in 90 minutes!
@@Data782 awesome 🙏 can’t wait to watch
I would honestly let Kravchenko compete with Quint in the preseason. If he loses to Quint, then let him spend a year in Abbotsford and use Lebedev as 7th. If he outperforms Quint, maybe Quint goes to 7th and Lebedev gets moved out
Wonderfully said! That sounds like the plan. Thanks Bronco!
I've been following along long enough and playing my own FM's enough that I feel like I should know this but what exactly is the difference between Generated Prospect Quality and Draft Class Quality? Is it about the class overall vs. individual prospects?
That's my understanding! I've always gone with generated prospect quality = level/rate of higher end prospects to be found, draft class quality = overall strength.
@@Data782 That was my understanding too. I just have trouble picturing what some of the combinations would be like. Like how can a class be High quality but low quality prospects? Or vice versa
Right haha. I guess High Class/Low prospects would be like deep value throughout but no big standouts, for example? Hard to say for sure
27:46 what value.. top 9.. 7th d and a ahl player.. come on...
For one of the last picks in the draft? I think it was more than fair 😂
