Why such the rush

Good. Good. Welcome to the dark side. 

They will use the logo space for more advertising.  Gotta make up all that lost revenue.

What a waste! Just got it tattooed on my eyelid(said he, winkin')

I also wonder whether the Canucks' dressing room is kept only for the Canucks or if other teams get a chance to use it too.

I would hope if Vancouver is a hub city, no team but our team use our own dressing room to minimize infection and spread.

which I think is bogus , because just before the covid happened , they were are saying Hughes should win it. but can't have Vancouver winning two years in a row! I think Hughes should win it.

i think bree2 failed kindergarden

she's not so good at sharing

No, he'll win because he's the more rounded player right now. This is Makar's to lose as he had a real deal year. Quinn was great, but Makar was a little bit greater. It's not even worth getting mad about since we finally have a dman like Quinn, and I for one can't wait to see how these 2 guys compare in 5-6 years. 

I got that reply from everyone I asked last night.

Jake for Risto? 

Willie Mitchell for Newell Brown. 

I wish we could drop pass Brown to another team. 

I wonder with Gaudette's play if Motte is maybe on the way out as part of a Loui or Baer package deal... I really liked Graocac's play and he seems to be getting a very long look and could take Mottes spot with Beagle. Guys got good speed and Benning loves the bigger guys. 

 Game of 2 of 3 takes place tomorrow big you want to drive out Roberts 

CDC meetup.

I don't want to miss another  game

This is a really well written article, both insightful and informative. Well done!

Excellent report! The exhibition games will be tough on Green in allocating time to players in many different situations to make evaluations.

A very well thought out piece, good job. I wonder who'll get bumped to the K-Wings.

Thanks. :D Yeah, I am curious how many quality guys end up on waivers. I think we could see quite a few surprises on there this season. I just hope Jim can make a trade or two on some of the more valuable guys like Granlund, Goldobin, and what not. We have an exciting pre-season and training camp ahead. I am ecstatic. :D

I gotta think Canucks start the season with.

Bae Bo Boeser

Leipsic Sutter Pettersson

Roussel Beagle Virtanen

Schaller Gagner Goldobin

I think Gaudette and Dahlen start in Utica as they are waiver exempt and will get first crack at a callup. 

Guess their servers are doing as they should and burning in the infernos of hell.

Visited HF 6-8 times over the last 3-ish years, and each time that Nuckles weenie stood out as being anti every god damned thing JB has done. He's not the only clown there, the Nucks area is pure trash.  

Only thing I step over there for is out-of-town perspective in the Business of Hockey section. 

meh, why would anybody consider that good news?  It being up and running means much of the trash will stay there.  Yeah, we'll always some of the trolls on "drive by's" but I'd prefer if most of them stay there rather than pollute this board.

No you can make a Dobson thread. 

Bouchard > Hughes > Dobson > Boqvist

God I hope not.

I would only sign Grabner to deal him for a pick at the trade deadline.  But isn't it getting rather crowded in the spot he's likely to be put in on this roster?

Kreider for Tanev? that would be a lesser but similar type deal to Hall for Larsson. 

Hughes Hughes Hughes

I work from home, so I'll be sitting in my home theater with my work laptop in my skivvies watching the draft coverage.

.

Alf usually the phones in claiming to be sick (not a huge stretch when you think about it )

Interesting. If we drafted him, where would he play?

I’d rather draft Boqvist, and wait for him to develop.  Bouchard might play sooner, but he’s not going to improve much.  He’s physically matured already.  Boqvist, when he arrives, will develop into the far superior player.  We need to draft guys with elite ceilings.  

No. Unless you are a borderline playoff team or desperate for help you take the guy you think is not only the best now, but 5 years from now is what truely matters.

Lot of guys jump to the NHL early only to regress.

If you want to maximize your NHL career we wanna be here for a longtime, not just a good time.

Great article! Keep up the good work

If you need help with spreadsheets still, I can probably help out.

Accountant here, so I'm very familiar with spreadsheets. If I have free time, I can maybe help out a bit.

why not just turn on a radio?

do you know what that is ?

Travis on Juolevi

- Sami really liked the way Juolevi progressed. Really confident that he's on the right track. Travis not worried. He's a young guy and he'll bounce back. It's just a small setback. 

Green's Role in the Draft

-Doesn't get involved in rating the players and didn't attend the combine but he does talk about the players. Has final list at home. Won't have a say in who the Canucks ultimately pick. No need for him to stick his nose in. Need as many good young players as possible. Look at Capitals and how many first round picks they had, that's proof right there. 

Player's Development

- Have challenged every player on the team and need them to come back a better hockey player. Boeser had a great year but they've challenged him and how to improve. Same with Bo. People normally talk about Granlund and Hutton. Has full confidence that Hutton will come back and have a great year next year. Sutter, Eriksson as well. 

Missed the first bit on Pettersson. 

Just a friendly suggestion, and maybe its just me but, I am starting to feel like you are going a bit "over the line" in terms of self promotion. I believe this site has rules on advertising, and to me it seems like you are pushing those limits.

Keep it up, Rush! I know the feeling of running your own blog, though I think yours is a little more relevant in today's day and age than mine

No way they move Baertschi. Wonder why everyone wants to trade him. He is improving every year.

@ItsMillerTime I think because Baer is injury prone and hard to take a risk on long term. You could have a bad contract situation there very easily... he's not a legit 1st liner but he's better than many bottom 9 but can also pull a disappearing act at times. 

Tbh if they gave us Steel or one of their young defensemen I’d do it. I don’t necessarily want to help a division rival out but if we can get a good enticer I’d think about it.

Alf is not on Twitter.  Vote for me:  no, use cap another way.
