Began watching this earlier, turned it off. Won't ever do so again. Do not like these smarmy guys. No reason after today's signings to adopt such f**kin' negativity.

I see this too Stawns, not just with Hirose, but especially with the FA signings today, allowing for a patient development under Colliton. Who seems to totally have his shit together. Canucks never, ever, had this before. Future is so bright.

Seems to me that by declaring OEL's buyout so early, Alvin clearly had a deal or two already up his sleeve. I doubt Aqua sanction it otherwise. Getting past the draft and then seeing which free agents we could sign today was essential before pulling the trigger on any trades - maybe Alvin already found what he wanted. But I'd bet that at least a couple of these previously agreed deals will be finalized soon: could be tomorrow if Alvin's targets look to be gaining other GM's interest. For sure, today's opportunities will evaporate during July. FWIW, Alvin grades an A from me for both drafting and FA day.

Wheew! Good use of a high pick.

We didn't need this Hobson's decision to make. Nerves are jangling..

Wood. Speed kills.

Nuck's org suddenly asks for a time out.

Is Benning in the building?

Shit!

We'll get that elusive 1st overall next draft.

Has to be on some kind of show-me gig while his severance pay runs out. DimJim gotta be getting close to a hiring too by now. Head of Scouting for Arizona is my guess.

We can only watch and hope that we've seen the end of signing terminally injured players. Flying by the seat of your pants might have worked had the pilot been anyone but Benning. Kraken making the play-offs and their Firebirds fighting to the Calder Cup finals in just 2 years from inception, might, just might have stung Aqua into accepting the real cost of professionally evaluating and nurturing of talent. Vegas already owning us into the forseeable future is bad enough, but submitting to Kraken's success so early on, is unforgivable. We got the summer to find enough character that'll relish a play-off fight, otherwise I suspect we implode by Christmas.

That'll not likely be Camilla then. The only penis on view tomorrow'll be wearing a crown.

Excellent!

Yowza!!!!
