Just be glad the Canucks didn't pick 7th.
The Canucks have drafted 7th three times in their history.
Rick Lanz
Dale Woodley
Alek Stojanov
Lets just say those players didn't become stars.
We have also drafted 5th once (Rick Vaive who played 47 games with the Canucks), and we have drafted 8th once (Jason Herter played 1 NHL game).
The Canucks have never drafted 6th overall in their history.[/quote and Lanz was traded to Toronto for.....Jim Benning who was selected.....sixth overrall in 1981.

Another AHL up and coming coach is Jeff Blashill. Assistant with Detroit last season, coach of Grand Rapids this season. One distinct difference between Blashill and Eakins is that Blashill's team is still playing. Not suggesting he is a better option than anyone mentioned just stating that he will likely garner interest from NHL clubs soon.

Don't feel bad for DB. UFA crop this season bodes well for him getting signed elsewhere and making even more $$$$ ( factoring in the buy out ). If he ever regains consistency and performs as well as he did in stretches last year, the team that picks him up will be getting a bargain.
