  1. 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?

  2. Question is now: How upset is Demko cuz McCann is gone xD
  3. 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!!! 

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. How about trading down and getting Tyson Jost
  7. 33rd overall pick. If Benson is free would u take him?

      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...

      Depends if Matthews available 

    4. Tortorella's Rant

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

  8. Jannik Hansen. Top 6 player or bottom 6 player on a cup contending team. I say bottom 6. 

     

    What you guys think?

      He's a versatile bottom six guy. Can play for anybody though. and be a solid contributor.

      Ghostsof1915

      Not many players are great on lines 1-4. Hansen is. 

    4. SaintPatrick33

      SaintPatrick33

       

      Hansen has speed, can take a hit and is tough along the boards. KEEP HIM JB, invaluable contributor!

  9. I wish he could turn out like Panarin
  10. Some of you may hate me for this but I really do hope the 4th overall pick will be either Tkachuk or Dubois. 

     

    Then we pick the one remaining 

     

    Why? 

     

    So CGY cant get them. I absolutely despise calgary. I hate them the most. 

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      There would be an irony if Calgary hired Green. Because it seems Green had input on Vancouver trading Shink. 

  11. Im glad the Blues won. If Dallas won, CGY would get a first round pick from them. HAHA calgary :D 

    1. Guest

      Guest

      Ditto

  12. Why do some of you guys want a defenceman at #5???? 

     

    Its stupid to pick one at #5. U either go Tkachuk or Dubois at the slot. Its a no brainer. 

     

    We can pick a D at #33. 

  13. Tyler Benson for round 2? 

    1. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      Methinks Washington will take him if getting a D is too big a stretch.

    2. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Great kid, but can't shake the injury bug. That's my only red flag on him. 

    3. Sean Monahan

      Sean Monahan

      Saw him play oncea this past season and twice in 2014-15 and he looked like a first-round pick all 3 times. Even played well defensively. It's a shame he can't stay healthy.

  14. Will Demko get any games for US?

  15. Dat Drouin kid... 

     

    If Stevie Y went up to you and said 

     

    Horvat for Drouin 

     

    Would you do it? 

    1. ItsMillerTime

      ItsMillerTime

      No Canucks need future centers. 

    2. 87Crosby

      87Crosby

      Yeah. Losing Horvat would propel is to the bottom this year and we could pick up the top centre next year. But sadly Stevie would never even offer this deal

    3. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      He offered a while back i think. When Drouin wasnt a good kid :P

  16. Im hearing next years draft is super weak? 

     

    McCann+ 1st (2017) for a top 10 pick?

      Gstank29

      He's not that level of player

    3. ken kaniff

      ken kaniff

      102pts this year. Not even his draft year yo

    4. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      He's a late 98 birthday playing on a team that dominates the WHL

  17. Calgary seems to be high on Tkachuk and Dubois. 

     

    Sucks that EDM and us are taking both of them :D 

    1. Green Building

      Green Building

      Oil Flames trade?

    2. Tre Mac

      Tre Mac

      Aren't we all high on Doobie?

    3. Zoolander

      Zoolander

      Tkachuk pls. 

       

      I'll come around to the idea of getting Dubois, but I'd really prefer Tkachuk. (Talent, Grit, IQ, Bloodlines, LK coaching)

      Calgary can succ it

  18. Travis Green for head coach or Willie? 

     

    Which do you prefer if you were the GM/owner? 

  19. Would u guys be happy with us drafting Tkachuk assuming Dubois is taken?

      @Green Building 

       

      Even if his tenacity has been overly hyped, his hockey IQ hasn't. He has elite level IQ on the ice, which is why he's able to consistently play with players like Matthews and Marner and open up space for them. Even if he doesn't drive the offense, he paves a nice path for others, and that isn't a player you pass on at 5.

       

       

    3. Green Building

      @Zoolander

       

      I'm not saying we pass on him, I like his cockiness, moderate size, athletic ability (even if he isn't rough and tough on the boards) and Burrows-y ability to play with Marner a la the Twins.

       

      I still take Dubois if both are available, but would not be unhappy with Tkachuk.

       

      Tkachuk:

      “I’m a guy who’s a winner,” Tkachuk said after scoring a goal and an assist in Wednesday’s sweep of the Erie Otters in the Western Conference final. “I can contribute on offence and be an offensive weapon. If I play my game, I think I can be one of the best in the draft.”

       

      http://www.torontosun.com/2016/04/28/self-proclaimed-winner-tkachuk-could-be-steal-of-draft

       

      This team could use a little cockiness. He and Horvat might do well together.

      @Green Building

       

      Yea Tkachuk just seems like a guy who's not gonna stop until he makes an impact. Dubois seems more docile and could fall short of his potential. I wouldn't mind PLD, but Tkachuk just screams 60pt winger who everyone hates playing against. I'd take him in the 1st, and d-men/high risk forwards with the later picks. Draft a stud 1C or 1D next year, but get our wings solidified this year. (Tkachuk, Boeser, Virtanen, and Baer)

  20. Come to think of it.. If Gillis traded Schenider to Oilers, they prob wouldnt have Mcdavid 

     

    :o 

    1. Quantum

      Quantum

      GM MG AT IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!

  21. I kinda want Tkachuk simply because hes american AHAHAHA 

     

    Boeser and Tkachuk! Team USA

  22. I hate this new lottery system so much :( 

     

    Plz dont change it anymore NHL. 

  23. We are prob THE WORSE canadian team. Can we just tank all next season. 

    1. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      Um, no. Ottawa and Winnipeg are probably worse. Montreal would be as well if they didn't have Price.

    2. 48MPHSlapShot

      48MPHSlapShot

      Actually, we're the 3rd worst Canadian team...

    3. JustABandwagoner

      JustABandwagoner

      Winnipeg is good. They gonna get Laine and have that Kyle Connor kid. 

       

       

  24. I just realized... 

     

    We lost at the trade deadline 

     

    We also lost in the draft lottery

     

    We will lose again in the draft somehow :( 

    1. Jam126

      Jam126

      You can't lose at the draft with Benning on your side.

  25. welcome juolevi

      Didnt benning say he will pick a D at #5 or #6. And we got #5 

    3. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      Benning said he has a top 4.
