  1. No, I think you misunderstood. I'm saying we shouldn't hire Shero if we can get Benning after the draft. I'm thinking Nashville's AGM Paul Fenton could be the other guy.
  2. I'm not fighting anyone's battles or trolling. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous you sound right now. You're so worked up about Ehlers and this draft you fail to realize that you sound just the same as the people hating on Ehlers. I think you need to take a break and get outside, it's a beautiful day.
  3. Boston didn't hire Chiarelli until after the 2006 draft. In that draft they took Kessel, Lucic, Marchand. You can't jump the gun and hire a guy who isn't the one you want when all you have to do is be patient if you want the guy on the top of your list. There isn't much a new GM could right now when it comes to the draft other than give his opinion and rankings on players in the draft. We have scouts for a reason.
  4. "The Canucks’ interim management team is working under the assumption a new man may not be in charge until after the entry draft in Philadelphia, June 27-28. Vancouver has the sixth pick." I think it is safe to assume we might not get our GM until after the draft. If we want a guy who is familiar with drafting and scouting then it is unlikely a team would give up that guy until after the draft just so we don't steal their picks.
  5. If were trading down the first guy I want is Fleury, then I would take either Fabbri or Fiala.
  6. Calm down. It's pretty obvious its just a joke. He's just making fun of the fact that someone as smart as Ehlers would like such a bad movie. You seem to overreact about a lot of things when it comes to talking about Ehlers.
  7. I think it would be wise to draft Thatcher Demko or any other goalie in this draft with our second or third pick. Lack is 26 and our 3 other goalies are 24, so by the time Demko or another goalie is entering the AHL those guys will be entering there prime.
  8. Pittsburgh is probably going to stick with Jason Botterill. I don't think Boston will let us sign Benning until after the draft, he is a big part of their drafting and scouting so it only makes sense. People are over reacting about not having a GM yet.
  9. I was actually happy we hired torts. Thought he would have put the fire back into our core and for the first hand full of games he did, but then after the whole Calgary fiasco I just hated him, he made our organization look like a joke and now I'm glad he is gone.
  10. I think no matter what we will get a good player. If you look at all our picks made in the top 10 since 1998 they have all turned into great players. Hodgson Bourdon Sedins Bryan Allen (not great but solid defenseman)
  11. You say Crosby and Toews have never won any junior championships and then I tell you they have won the WJC, one of the biggest tournaments for a junior players career and you say that it's overrated. The WJC has the best under-20 players from all over the world and future NHL stars competing in it, how is that overrated? I don't think Horvat has called it in yet and is just waiting for his chance to join the Canucks. He's had two chances to win the Memorial Cup and failed both times to win it. This is probably his last chance to win it and he hasn't played a game for over a month, he and his team is just rusty.
  12. Who would you guys rather have drop, Dal Colle or Draisaitl? For me personally I would want Draisaitl. He reminds of Kopitar in the way he uses his body to protect the puck. He carried his team offensively this season with 105 points in 64 games with the second best forward on his team who is an over-ager having only 72 points in 71 games.
  13. Article from Sportsnet about why it was a good thing Canucks and Buffalo sent down Horvat and Zadorov, respectively. (Link) I cut out the Zadorov parts in the Quote. I'm glad we sent down Horvat, Kept him away from the disaster that was this season. He needed an extra year to work on his offense plus got the opportunity to play in the WJC and Memorial Cup. Hopefully he can crack the line-up next year. You can watch Horvat and the Knights play against Anthony Mantha and the Val-d'Or foreurs today at 4pm PST on Sportsnet.
  14. is there a post discussing Canucks next coach?

  15. Yea, i'm aware Fenton joined Nashville since 2003, but I just wanted to compare since 2006 because it could be seen as unfair for Benning since Fenton had a longer time to build up his draft list.
  16. True, I'm not saying I don't want Benning. I would be completely fine with him as our GM. I'm just saying I prefer Fenton over Benning.
  17. Chiarelli has the final say on who they pick but Benning makes most of the recommendations on who to draft. Here's a description of Bennings job as AGM for the Bruins from NHL.com: "In that position, he serves as an advisor to General Manager Peter Chiarelli on all matters pertaining to player evaluation, trades and free agent signings, in addition to assisting the General Manager in overseeing all individuals in their specific duties for the Bruins." Player evaluation meaning he deals with the pro and amateur scouting. Chiarelli doesn't do everything himself. Since becoming AGM in 2006 Jim Benning's draft record is as such: Players who have played over 50 NHL games: (4) Joe Coulbourne Jordan Caron Tyler Seguin Dougie Hamilton Here is a description of Fenton's job as AGM for Nashville from NHL.com: "Now in his 16th season with the Predators, and his eighth as the club’s assistant general manager, Paul Fenton has been instrumental in bringing in many of Nashville’s core players, primarily through the draft, but also through trades and free agent signings." Since becoming AGM in 2006 Paul Fenton's draft record is as such: Players who have played over 50 NHL games: (10) Nick Spaling Jonathan Blum Colin Wilson Roman Josi Anders Lindback Gabriel Bourque Mattias Ekholm Craig Smith Ryan Ellis Seth Jones
  18. I would rather have Fenton. The only thing I'm not sold on about Benning is his draft record. It is pretty average compared to the entire league.
  19. Either TOMapleLaughs got scared away or he's writing up a big rant about how he can predict the future and Ehlers is a bust.
  20. Ehlers isn't even the same size as Desharnais or Gerbe. He is just under 6' . and weighs about 172lbs. Shinkaruk was about the same size at his draft year and weighed 175lbs, nobody was saying he was a bust when we drafted him.
  21. I don't get why they talk about Reinhart. We have no chance at drafting him. The only reason I can think of is because they are looking at trading up for a top 3 pick.
  22. Per @EliasSports, John Gibson is 2nd goalie in history w/shutout in reg. season & playoff debuts. Other: Tiny Thompson, 1928-29. #NHLDucks

  23. he was drafted by London 9th overall too, that's cool.
