Quick vent. "I see/don't see x player as having a place on a contending team" is neither meaningful support or criticism of a player. It's a pointless statement.

CDC won't be happy unless GMJB holds another general manager down at gunpoint and extracts third round picks for everyone. I would suggest yoga.

Do people not understand that teams employ pro scouts for a reason? All this talk of 'showcasing players for a potential trade' is bollocks. Teams can pull up all the footage they want and will know exactly what kind of player they get and won't be magically surprised just because you put a a guy in a favorable position.

well i would agree with you entirely in theory
but some can still be fooled
the canucks built up and show cased a certain cody
to trade for zack who they hoped was the 2nd coming of neely
and sabres seemed to bite on the illusion
but maybe they think the same about the canucks and kassian
that they sure fooled us
except we didn't turn around and sign zack to some crazy contract
like they did with cody and then bought him out within a year when they realized what they had done

The problem with footage is you only get to see what the footage shows. You don't see what each player is doing away from the puck. You don't see the overall strategies taking place and how specific players are reacting to those strategies and systems.
I'm sure they do use footage in tandem with scouts, but I don't think it would make sense to use just one or the other if you want to get the full picture.

Gilman: You can't just put 16 young players on a roster and expect good things to happen. They need to be surrounded by players that have character, by guys that bring foundational elements. You want them to be in an atmosphere where they go, not where they're fighting to survive.

@Tre Mac Virtanen has shown he sucks. Goldobin looks as if he doesn't care half the time.

This daily poll is a farce, Bobby Sanguinetti is going to score the most points at the Olympics and he will finally prove Doug Lidster wrong.

"We could have had Konecky."

Bobby Sanguinetti the Olympian.

Nilsson is a friggin' giant in person.

A vote for trading Gudbranson is a vote for making the Canucks an easier team to play against. Hard no.

What was it that finally made TOML stop posting here?

The next person to seriously suggest that Bettman and the league rig drafts is getting slapped.

He's obviously a very passionate player, always thanking the goalies, always upset if gets a penalty and wreaked havoc on some of his hits.I think he took the early press box scratches the wrong way. In his interviews he said he knew he could help. Esp watching Larsen get pushed around out there. I'm glad we have his rights for 5 more years maybe there can be a reparation of any rifts or him knowing that Vancouver wants him back on a long term deal.

Anyone remember the poster that conflated 'Canucks Sports and Entertainment' with 'Sports Entertainment' and declared that Hockey was rigged?

@Wilbur *Checks Avs and Coyotes number of wins* Oh damn, you're right. Alright, let's make it the Flames and Predators to make things interesting.
