  1. Some players figure it out later and some never do. Some scouts like players while others don’t. Pettersson was slated to go around 10th and they had Virtanen at 5. Scouts also had Shea Weber in the 2nd round. Sometimes people get things wrong. Podkolzin was probably the best available at 10, just gives me another reason to hate Anaheim for drafting Zegras and Detroit for going off the board when they could have easily traded down to us and got the same player
  2. Completely fair analysis. I always prefer players who can see the ice well, Podkolzin seems like a bull in a china shop, ala Virtanen/David Booth. Saying that Podkolzin was probably the best left on the board, glad we didn’t take Krebs, great release but thats about it
  3. Doesn’t pass, doesn’t have good hands, doesnt have great offensive awareness. More a bull in a china shop kind of player. Not my kind of pick. The draft stunk after Anaheim picked our guy
  4. You want local talent? Thanks to you guys, we got Virtanen instead of Nylander or Ehlers. How’s that turning out for you? Way to go!
  5. Isn’t that what we said about Virtanen? I see a kid who doesn’t have very good hands, doesn’t use his line mates well, and doesn’t have offensive awareness. Big, fast, skilled?, mean, compete level vs Hands, puck distributor, intelligence to read the play I’d choose Zegras
  6. Of course you would as he went 9th vs 1st
  7. Time will tell, I wouldn’t be surprised if Zegras turns out to be the best player in this draft
  8. Zegras please, stupid Anaheim
  9. Zegras is the steal in the draft with Anaheim at 9. Don’t hate the pick at 10 but damn Anaheim screwed us again
  10. Need a team wanting our crap. Good luck in the Canucks making any trades if Hughes, Boeser, Petey, Bo or a 1st rounder aren’t involved. Its just not worth it unless its for something crazy.
  11. We need better players if we ever want to make the playoffs
  12. No thanks, we have too much history of woman drama with this team
  13. I bet they want Zegras; because I sure do
  14. Its JB, I don’t think he’s learned enough yet
  15. Just wait until July 1 and see what JB throws out there. This is going to be an expensive free agency for everyone involved
  16. That wealth won’t be funneled to B.C. and definitely not for gas prices. It will just be spent on more special interest groups.
  17. Since this bitumen is being exported, I doubt this pipeline does anything to lower gas prices. Thank a lack of an oil refinery, carbon tax, transit tax, GVRD tax and government incompetence on your high gas prices, not a lack of a pipeline.
  18. Seems like a steal for Tampa, considering we pay Hutton 2.8
  19. I’d rather have Edler with a NMC when we don’t have very many players worth protecting in an expansion draft then lose our best defenseman and have no one. At least we’ll be picking bottom 4 for once.
  20. There is a reason its called precedent, if I were to have a coke fueled threesome with my wife and Evan Rachel Wood’s hotter relative, then it is reasonable to expect a lesser ask on something you didn’t think was possible.
  21. Looks like he’s walking to free agency so yes it will happen.
