So he gained 25 pounds.....Yay? Good for him? Seriously?? Why is this even considered topic worthy?? All Hockey players gain/lose weight during the offseason. It's as pointless as making a thread about Crosby saying that he just bought a new lamborghini.

...how is Edmonton ahead of anyone?

http://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040-i-1410/mckenzie-canucks-listening-but-not-actively-shopping-fifth-pick-1.504395 Pretty interesting interview on 1040 today about the Canucks and what they might do with the 5th pick, but even more interesting when Bob Mckenzie mentioned that CBJ aren't exactly "set" on picking Puljujarvi at 3rd, mentioning that the "Finnish connection" between the GM and the player doesn't really mean anything, while saying that they would prefer a center (which makes sense after the gaping hole Johansen left). Mckenzie mentions Logan Brown, Keller...etc. Maybe they'd be interested in Dubois? With the 5th pick that the Canucks have (which you would be able to select a good center with), do you think the Canucks could possibly package our pick somehow to attain the 3rd overall from CBJ? I thought it was set that 1,2 and 3 would for sure be Matthews, Laine, and Puljujarvi. Again, this could mean nothing and very well could turn out with CBJ picking Puljujarvi at 3rd, but nevertheless pretty interesting especially coming from Mckenzie. Can't wait until the draft.

I think he really has the potential to make a Monahan-type impact on the team he gets selected by. High hopes he comes to us.

For the 1st/2nd/3rd overall pick? Yes. For 5th? lol no.

Burrard street bullies. I LOL'ed hard.

Really? You actually just compared McCann to Seguin? lol.

One thing I like to ask when I see people make these proposals is if you were the GM of the other team, would to accept your own proposal? As much as I would love to imagine this happening. As the Winnipeg GM, I would not do this. Do I really want to add cap on an already cap-stuffed team? No. Do I want to keep the option of selecting a franchise player that will most likely be one of the top 5 point getters in the NHL in the future? Yes. Laine is a can't miss pick. How will we even know how high that 2017 first round pick will be? Nice try but its a no no.

lol. It's funny how TSN and SN are all on Auston Matthews' d*ck now because the world's are on. Every highlight is focused on him. Typical Toronto homers.

Haha. Good one.

That's true. Although personally, something really screams Brian Boyle to me when I see Logan Brown. He's huge but I don't see him being more than a third liner at the NHL level. Who knows.

Similar to what Kassian had. We all know how that turned out. Might take a chance at him with a mid 1st rounder, but definitely not with the 5th.

This is pretty sad. It obviously shows that you're still not over the draft results. What's done is done. Matthews is a good player and good on the leafs for having a chance to land this player. That being said, I couldn't really care less about Matthews anymore. He's not anywhere near our grasp. I'd rather focus more on OUR potential picks, Dubois or Tkachuk or a defenseman.

Please stop.
