Man the 17-18 Sens is the biggest sh!t show I've ever witnessed in the NHL

Except at hockey

Also hearing rumours that Sabres are leaning towards selecting Dahlin

We'd just have an entire forum of Alfs and Hortankins saying stuff like "we have the bestest prospects" and "everyone else's prospect is poo" if everyone here had rose tinted lenses on and afraid to criticize anything Canucks. What's the point of a discussion board if everyone just had to blindly worship everything this team does? I'm personally pretty content with our team's prospect pool but I'm not going to blindly say it's perfect and has no room to be better.

Was there any chance that VGK wasn't going to take MA Fleury? I'm confused as to why the Pens had to give them a 2nd to do that.

Exactly. Everyone looked at that roster at the beginning of the season and saw a bottom 5 team. Now everyone's claiming this isn't supposed to be a surprise because the exp draft rules set them up for success. Nobody, including the VGK management group, could've predicted all of the breakout seasons their players would have and the instant team chemistry.

All of the Leafs and Jets fans are absolutely outraged that we took Jake "clutch" Virtanen. With his history of showing up in big games with 23pts in 40 WHL playoff games, 1pt in 10 AHL playoff games, and dominant performances at the WJC, he's well on his way to carrying an NHL team through the playoffs.

I never would've expected the cost of living to be something that someone who could command 7+mil/year would even consider. I guess he'd only be able to afford one mansion in Vancouver vs a couple down there in a Arizona.

What a sh!t show

Their entire team is gonna get ripped after he whips them all into shape

As long as Chia is still there, I can honestly see them offering RNH for Tanev.

BPA is the way to go if they really believe that Wahlstrom is more likely to pan out. Remember when we were still hurting from getting pushed around by the Bruins and drafted Virtanen just to add some size? If our scouts believe that the BPA happens to be a dman, that'd be perfect but we shouldn't pass up a better player.

Would love Boqvist or Tkachuk but pretty unlikely from our position. My preference in order would be Hughes, Wahlstrom, Bouchard, Dobson.

That whole line was stuck out there at the end of a long shift. No reason to engage in a puck battle with Chara alone in the offensive end with no gas left in the tank. Smarter go on the change to get fresh legs out there sooner.

He'll be a staple on that team for many years to come
