Have people forgotten EP's last contract singing . Just same old same old . He will get paid very well and be here , the question is only how long the contract will last for ? I hope he has a Great year gets extra money and signs 8 year deal !

Dale Talon was NOT the next Bobby Orr as promised ! I was 8 years old I wanted the NEXT Bobby Orr !!!

If I was making a team and I could pick anyone from history . My first choice would be Orr wait Gretzky wait Orr wait Gretzky wait Orr wait Gretzky wait Orr wait Gretzky wait Orr wait Gretzky OK it's a coin flip you can't go wrong

Did PA or JR not say how much they liked Juulsen playing with Hughes a couple of weeks ago ? That was before free agency though . Could he be in for another look this preseason ? Esp. if Myers is moved witch i think is highly unlikely before the trading deadline . Then only if we are way out of the playoffs

Wait a minute !!! Your name is Icycold But you don't drink Beer ?

The Sedins are the perfect example of why teams don't like to give up on high draft picks . Early in their careers many fans wanted to run them out of the city . It wasn't until they filled out and got strong enough that their talent really started to shine . Maybe 24 or 25 ish my memory is kind of blurred here

What if both Benson and Michkov somehow drop to 11 because they are small wingers and that Russia thing . Would you take Benson over Michkov as a safer pick [ is he better all around player] or is the separation in skill between them too great ? This is kind of my dream scenario

What round and who will be the annual Goalie pick ? for the Canucks

I know the Canucks need more C&D and to get bigger but the two I hope most for in 11 days are Michkov or Benson , Ep and Miller will be taking all the faceoffs for the foreseeable future so does Benson really have to be great at taking faceoffs . I would see Miller taking all the faceoffs for Benson same as he did mostly on the 649 line . Benson could be wing or center depending on the matchup . Michkov drops past Washington to 11th than you can't pass on that talent unless you know something that really really frightens you . If they are gone than I would choose either their best true center available or the the most promising D the Canucks like and this is the only time i could see them trading down a few spots .

ADD miller and Hughes ......Walla Top Power play

Don't disagree with you but about Brule . I do remember Doug Mclean saying on CBC one night That Columbus did everything wrong with how they managed Brule and one of his biggest hockey regrets . That it was their fault as much as anything why he didn't develop

I really can't see them trading away or down the 11th after trading away a first and second rounder already this year but i do see them trading up into the second with picks and or players

At the Draft what I am hoping for is first that Michkov falls to 11 and Allvin turns into George Costanza in a fire on his way up to the stage to belt out his name ! After that there are so many good players that could go in any order I would be happy with any of the prospects that keep getting listed top 13ish .More happy if out side of Michkov or Benson they play center or RD

the only way to get out of the bottom of the league and Stay out is to Keep your top end Draft picks !!! you trade them away only if it puts you over top top Not into the middle !!! One year OK for the right price But year after year has to stop or be prepared for all the same conversations next year and the year after that and after that and........ Now trading away rounds 5-7 I have absolutely No problem with should be doing it Every year if it can improve anything

Not 100% sure but if he refuses he can hold out years till he is a free agent . 4 years same a someone going to collage or be redrafted in 2 years . kind of fuzzy on this one , I think it has happened before ]
