  1. That’s interesting. but it’s summer now what he’s doing is just rude. I don’t think theirs ever been an example of that happening is there? of course he’s been ridiculously over paid for what he’s given, and he’s been given every opportunity in the top 6 5v5. With Petey and Bo. Guy sucks. thought his saving grace were the little things and his character / attitude. But that Swedish report, ignoring Benning after it too while he’s focused on the draft (host team and his favorite day of year) like get outttta here! mans a loser can’t wait for him to be gone. I’m sad I was one that was happy we signed him back on that cursed day.
  2. It’s againat the CBA i think they should introduce contract restructuring if a player brutally underperforms or has personal issues. It would be good for players and teams. Maybe one day
  3. Yaaaa could it be: captaincy announcement trade Boeser extension Trade up for Byram/Zegras What else could it be? canucks hire chirelli as president of hockey ops... - in case anyone can’t tell that’s a joke! Was hard to type it out even
  4. There’s a discussion to be had that us taking Seider at 10 would be in our best interest BUT Zegras imo is the third best forward in the draft. I have him ahead of Turcotte. zegras is not as soft as people think, he is tenacious and creative and unbelievably skilled with that high end IQ that would mesh beautifully with our core. best playmaker in the draft probably right there with Hughes. He’s also one of the best skaters. He runs he PP off the half wall and he has a fantastic development path layed out in front of him. Joel Farabee had a great draft +1 year at BU. Z is going to slot in C their on their top line with Farabee on his wing. He’ll also be on the first unit PP and get to work on his overal game, his strength and conditioning with the college program. 1-2 years college and then he’ll be an impact forward for an NHL club. I think 2 years but maybe 1 u never know. Zegras-Petey-Boeser Would be so nasty. He’s also a great kid and very well spoken. Liked his interviews a lot. His teammates like him. His versatility at C also would be great for if we needed him to slot down the middle for injuries etc. out of all the forwards available outside of Hughes and Kakko he has one of the highest ceilings and would be the best fit for our team. also pp 1 unit would be disgusting in 3-4 years. Boeser and Petey on their off Wings ready to T it up Bo net front Z half wall Hughes on the Point think it would be absolutely unreal
  5. Wow officially GDT. excited / nervous So many scenarios here can unfold. trade up, trade down, trade the pick in a package for a player, take the bpa @ 10! I would love a scenario that involved us leaving with one of Hughes/Byram. JB would be a hero but it ain’t happppening. Zegras if he falls or we can trade up without giving up much to get him I’d be super stoked. So many players to like this draft though as long as we pick top 15 we are guaranteed a solid player. Lets go!!
  6. Edler-Barrie Hughes-Schenn Hutton-Stecher would be pretty awesome and even better would be Edler-Barrie Gardiner-Stecher Hughes-Schenn but that would be a very expensive back end next season. gardiner would be what 7.5 / season Barrie would be like 8.5 Edler at 6 i guess it woildnt be too bad. it would be a small puck moving mobile blueline and we’d have guys fighting for PP minutes tho
  7. We are like a desperate girl/guy in a bar that’s closing soon
  8. I kinda wanna keep Tanev - we don’t have RHD really just Stecher Hopefully Schenn will be our 7 and Biega/Rafferty lol i also think he’d make an ideal partner for Gardiner. With Edler resigned if we got Gardiner we could balance d minutes much better and I think they would stay healthier. Tanev is tbe ideal d partner for gardiner that is why we always included him in trade offers to Toronto to play with him. it could revitalize him, our possession numbers would increase and he’d take less of a beating in our own end. Letting him build his value and then moving him at the deadline could be more worth it if he’s had a decent healthy season up till then and we are out of the playoff race. just thoughts though
  9. So stoked on this. Probably what happened was Edler was on his holiday and his agent was trying to get him a great deal. edler gets involved like wth just sign the deal I just want to be in Van! 2x6 is perfect. flexible term and the salary is fair but UFA hometown discount. respect to Edler for getting it done. And to JB for not folding early and doing the 3 year NTC deal. If we added Gardiner it would be interesting, just lots of LHD Gardiner-Tanev Edler-Hughes Hutton-Stecher Schenn then injuries We have lots of Guys to call up. Juolevi can have a year to rebound from injury and focus on his game and conditioning. Hopefully we are able to move hutton the next offseason or when necessary to make room for Juolevi. or if the rumours of trading Tanev are true. And they moved him. They would have to have to sign a RHD like Myers (yikes) or stralman who I really like but his term / age would scare me: Edler-Stralman Hughes-Schenn Hutton-Stecher
  10. Caufield at 4 could happen. Who is better primed than Colorado to take a risk at 4? if caufield hits adding him to that group of forwards there in Colorado would be disgusting.
  11. Haha ya. I still think byram is the third best prospect available and should go at 3. the reason I am skeptical of this rumour is because how often does yzerman lose a trade? His trades are usually quite in his favour. Being his first draft in charge I can’t see him making a move that is a loser. So say Byram is there at 6 and He’s not Detroit’s guy and they are confident they can drop down to 10 and still get their guy what are we giving them to accept that risk? just seems hard to believe but if it happens and JB doesn’t get completely bent over by Yzerman to get Byram at 6 I would probably have a little excitement filled freak out. to have Hughes, Byram, Juolevi, Woo, Stecher, Rathbone as our D pipeline would be very exciting.
  12. Well hard to believe, but if so I would be ECSTATIC!
  13. All the LA sources sound like they are praying for byram to make it to 5 for them but yea I guessss
  14. That scares me because that means they really want Zegras or Broberg. And I’m going to guess it’s Broberg. Because we know byram wont make it past 5.
  15. Some guys aren’t very high on Dach question his ceiling. I still think he will be gone for sure though before our pick because he has the IQ and the size to be an NHLer. And if he slides to 9 no way Anaheim passes on him. hes an Anaheim style guy and thy need Cs
  16. Yea wasn’t meant to be a style comparison just a vibe. like similar in safe transition dman, projecting to be a second pairing dman with maybe more. like I don’t compare Hughes to Matthews or Kakko to Laine asides from the fact that it’s an American / Finnish two horse race at the top for first you know. Stylistically they are not similar at all but this draft just gives me that vibe dejavu feeling. but maybe I’m crazy! Haha
  17. I don’t think soderstrom is a guarantee at all. If we take him I’ll trust the pick but right now i have some 2016 draft feels, not really comparisons just similar vibes: soderstrom - Juolevi seider - sergachev caufield - keller (smaller but with more upside) boldy - Tkachuk (without the snarl) newhook - Jost (think Newhook has a higher ceiling though) My current D ranking is: Byram Seider York Broberg - think he’s gone before our pick. Soderstrom Harley Heinola
  18. Well Chicago draftee Toews 2006 3rd overall in Vancouver. So how fitting Chicago takes Turcotte 3rd overall in Vancouver now in 2019. the Chicago kid who idolizes captain serious. How beautiful. I’m so happy for them. They deserve this. (tone filled with sarcasm, and bitter jealousy)
  19. Yea I guess they have braun to put with him now if that’s what they are thinking. it would be crazy imo to trade ghost and like you said I can’t see AV not liking him. But it sounds like there’s still some smoke around his name so we shall see.
  20. Man hayes is worth 7M but ghost at 4.5 is not worth it lmao!? Do they think they have their ROR over there? horvats contract looking fantastic right about nowww
