I hate that 7x7 & 29 yrs # may be the only real credible option for the team.Seems we could not grab a star stud if the cows came home. And if we did it would implode an bust. I don’t mind term but without upgrades on D the team will still not be playoff bound unless goalies steal 20-25 games . That may be wishful thinking . for me the ? Is why has JB waited so long to upgrade the blue line aside from two D picks in draft with tons of promise ,we seem a long ways off yet from contending .

Just curious if you had the stats on how many of those were D men?

What does this trade do to the Seattle entry draft next year? Who will be vulnerable to be stolen at that draft? Mike Babcock just said the better your D is obviously the less time you spend in your zone! i don’t have zone stats but, but help is on the way

I like the fourth pick Ethan Keppen

JT Miller points will rebound big as he will get top line minutes this year.

The conservation principle is in full effect. So there is a need for a balanced temperament here. So will be cheering net year for that prized first over all lottery pick after 50 years. Who is next years prized prospect generational player on radar now?

Not sure where cap is at now? But on surface we will not be in hunt for high end studs on D unless of trade ? JB has struggled with trades a mixed bag . I can see no good coming, as he has now put his plays in corner an hemmed himself in. Everybody in league will no know he will have pay premium on any deals he does as per history

He is done at table he blew his load early his American side kick in executive suite was not able to wheel an deal wysebroad needs to be gone he has to much of JB ear.

As fan very disappointed that we have very few picks in first three rounds

Probably a conditional 1rst based on standing an points 50?make it the first . He will be approaching his UFA years soon on surface it would appear JB got fleeced here. Just my observations . He also USA center who has been playing wing

So does this mean Sutter an or BoHorvat are in trade cylinder?

Frack

?? Smurf skill no big d out there? Skilled guys?

So envious of teams with multiple picks in second round

Well at least pick is exempt from Seattle draft an gets sheltered

“Nooooooo”

JB looks like he is at a wake

Yes we get Boldy now?

Yes oilers way to go lol

Wings off board shocker wow

BPA just no more smurfs need some size can’t rely on UFA to fill that need

One step up forward an two back this happens , I guarantee JB won’t be around to see the team leap frog to the top..there are players in current draft position who will contribute to future success with out taking two back trade.(giving up two young players an or picks to upgrade draft order this year) Team still needs depth at three or four positions .

Crazy arms race on if true

One of the better rumours to find air. He does not have to luve in van over summer an during winter Hockey travel will consume him an any available free time . i could see him on our west coast. Playing with our core of young emerging stars.He probably would also help sell out arena an bring back more excitement to Van.he will sell tickets

Canucks finish 29 th Horvat cracks 70 points EP rookie of the year we finish year winning 7 of 8 last eight games almost slide out of29 th spot up. we slide 3 pick in draft again losing odds board stats.
