  1. Im very disappointed with this draft. Now I have to get thru a bunch of hard exams before I can witness the 2017 NHL draft :( 

     

    I feel like we need another executive. Dreams of getting tallon 

    1. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      Well maybe not very disappointed. Maybe just expected some movement. Yenno what i mean

  2. Benning in a sense I am very proud of you.. 

     

    Why??

     

    In a interview he said 

     

    "Im not gonna comment on free agency right now"

     

    And earlier he said something Im not gonna comment on other team's players xD

  3. What are the chances Benning acquires a 2nd round pick?

    1. We_Are_All_Canucks_4_life

      We_Are_All_Canucks_4_life

      almost zero. he said on 1040 that we do not have the assets to get more picks.

    2. Quantum

      Quantum

      Low but I'm hoping he can snag a late 2nd/early 3rd. I'm thinking with Juolevi in the fold, Sbisa may be dangled to some teams to get that 2nd/3rd round pick we so desperately need... especially as legit top 6 dmen are being paid higher and higher in FA.

    3. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      I'm still praying he finds a way to trade Higgins and/or Burrows. Cap floor team?

  4. We dont have any top tier prospect forwards besides Boeser :/

      @terrible.dee Based on what? The fact that he put up monster points in a league that's incredibly difficult to score in as a freshman?

    4. Wilbur

      Wilbur

      @48MPHSlapShotbased on the fact that Benning didn't pick the latest flavour of the month.  I guess Tkachuk was the guava blueberry to Juolevi's maple walnut.

  5. Benning plz try to get another pick. Im bored...

      I wish we can just lose. We need a #1C. Where will we get that? 

    3. Bruce Boudreau

      Bruce Boudreau

      Probably not anywhere. Over pay to get Stamkos he thinks he is a #1 C instead of a elite scoring wing. Also need a #1 D. Juolevi is top 2 potential but not a number one.

       

      He reminds me of Dan Hamhuis.

    4. We_Are_All_Canucks_4_life

      We_Are_All_Canucks_4_life

      lucic and erickson both want long term deals from what i have heard. and will probably want to cash in with the final contract. hopefully we do not give any free agents nmc or ntc.

       

  6. FIRE BENNING!!!!! 

  7. Why does Benning HATE tkachuk? 

     

    I feel like its

     

    Dubois 

    Unknown defenceman 

    Tkachuk

      thejazz97

      I think Dubois is his number 4, but he might see one of the 3 D as his #5. We really won't know for sure until about 5:15 (SK time).

    3. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      I'll be super pissed if he doesnt pick Tkachuk if hes avaiable. How would u feel playing against Tkachuk when you go against calgary? 

       

      Tkachuk>Virtanen 

    4. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      Yeah, I know. I guess it depends on who we get.

      I mean... I feel like MTL will be asking 5th + Horvat as a starting price and we add on from there 

    3. Jam126

      Jam126

      It's tough because Subban is still fairly young and just entering in his prime while Horvat and the 5th will be a big part of our future.

    4. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      yea but we are getting a #1 D. Gotta give up something good if u want something good 

  9. Is Tryamkin exempt from the expansion draft?? 

    1. Toews

      Toews

      Yes. If Panarin and Zaitsev are exempt then Tryamkin most certainly is as well.

    2. Odd.
  10. Do you know what will be funny.. A GM trades a players negotiating rights and the player decides to sign with the original team that traded his rights on July 1st. xD 

  11. This is the most delusional proposal i've seen in a while 

    To SJS 
    Rick nash 

     

    To NYR 
    One of Couture/Burns/Hertl

    1st round pick

    2nd round pick

    top prospect 

     

    MOST DELUSIONAL PROPOSAL I"VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. Even worse than the ones i've seen here -_-

      Where's Wellwood

      Where did you find that? HF?

    3. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      @Where's Wellwood Nah some facebook page that posts rumors. They get rumors from insiders. 

    4. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      A bias NYR fan just suggested that proposal. The original post was SJS trying to get Nash. 

  12. So apparently Drouin withdrew his trade request.. Would anyone here accepted Drouin for Horvat 1 for 1 back then?

      Fateless

      I wouldn't have - mainly due to the maturity difference. Horvat is showing he is captain material while Drouin has a temper tantrum for half the season. While I think Drouin has more offensive upside and could very well be top line material - Horvat has shown a strong progression with no signs of slowing down and could up there himself.

      Not worth the gamble on Drouin for me.

    3. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      Back then, absolutely not. Seemed too volatile and immature. After his playoff performance I'd consider it, but Horvat has a lot of character and defensive potential that Drouin lacks.

    4. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      @Blue Jay 22 yzerman offered us horvat for drouin a while back

  13. I just had this thought.... 

     

    Would owners throw playoff games on purpose just to get another home game to earn extra playoff revenue?? 

     

    I can see aquaman telling his crew, throw some games so you know... I can get more playoff revenue.

      HerrDrFunk

      Merchandise revenue for a cup winning team is probably much more than a few extra games.

    4. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      So the ideal situation for him is to win the cup in 7 games :D 

       

       

  14. Hmmmm does WD regret choosing to coach Vancouver instead of the Penguins. hmmmm 

    1. Twilight Sparkle

      Twilight Sparkle

      WD wouldn't have coached the pens to a cup

  16. Big fan of Tyson Jost <3

    2. Green Building

      Green Building

      Christ man! Judging by the amount of times you've mentioned him you'd pick him at #1!

    3. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      Nah #1 #2 #3 for me is Matthews Laine and pool party xD 

       

      #4 would be him <3 

    4. Green Building

      Green Building

      I believe it :P

  17. Benning plz do da righhhht thingg

    Tyson Jost 

    and 

    Dante Fabbro 

     

    Somehow do it. Screw Dubois. I prefer to have those two. <3

      I'll only accept a Dante selections if it's known that Dante is a fan of the Devil May Cry Series.

      ken kaniff

      I'm right there with ya pal. Trade down to Arizona and get their 2 1st. 7th and 20th. Get Jost and Fabbro. 

  18. Saw this on "Complete Hockey News" on Facebook. They are legit. Anyways, he reported that Linden Vey's dad was found guilty.

      Its definitely some crazy stuff, like something out of a movie type thing. Makes me kinda wonder how often this goes on and the person doesnt get caught? Crazy stuff

      Sounds almost like Double Indemnity, with a few twists and a farm.

      i had a boy whose father used to beat up his mother right in front of him and then beat him up for trying to help her..he was one of my best players, but it affected him sometimes...can't imagine how much this affected linden...i hope he can get past it...

  19. So I went on HF boards for the first time.

     

    Some of those trade proposals really piss me off..  I was raging. 

     

    An example...

     

    TO MTL

    Sedins (50% retain) Edler + 5th pick

     

    TO VAN

     Desharnais Eller Emelin 9th pick

      Yeah it's been going downhill ever since they stripped you of your mod powers PK.

      CDC not enough for you, huh. You have to go there. Next thing you know, you'll be going to Calgarypuck.

      I much prefer 4chan over Calgarypuck

  20. Tyson Jost + Brock Boeser= <3 

  21. Hey guys remember at the town hall Benning mentioned a few young players part of the next core group. He didnt mention McCann. And now here we are today. 

     

    wink wink nudge nudge xD

      jb anf tl said they have a plan...this is just part of their plan...getting younger, faster, grittier and more skilled...this will take time...

    3. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      Isnt McCann and shinkaruk skilled? 

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      ever try and make a trade of unskilled players?

  22. Benning sure HATES his 2nd rounder. He gives them out like candy 

     

    You get a 2nd rounder, AND you get a 2nd rounder. EVERYONE GETS A 2nd rounder!!! 

  23. Can we please fire Benning or demote him to head scout. We need someone that can make trades... 

    1. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      This is disgusting.  Even Nonis had the guts to refuse to knowingly make an idiotic trade.

  24. What do you guys think of Tyson Jost. He might play with Brock Boeser next year ^_^

    1. Jaku

      Jaku

      The guy is very skilled, and quick. I look forward to seeing what he does in college. I don't think any one will pick him until mid first round maybe later.

    2. Agoork

      Agoork

      I would not be upset if he ended up on our team :)

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i doubt he'll be available at 33....looked good though....maybe we could trade for him in a few years...much like chicago did with forsling.

  25. 33rd overall pick. If Benson is free would u take him?

      smithers joe

      true but benning has said that if they don 't draft a d-man at 5, they would look to draft one in the second...he might draft juolevi at 5 and go forward at 33...

    3. ItsMillerTime

      ItsMillerTime

      Depends if Matthews available 

    4. Tortorella's Rant

      Tortorella's Rant

      Crosby is reentering the draft cuz he's $&!#. lets snag him with a late rounder
