  1. I feel like Benning's top targets are Caufield, Boldy, Podkolzin, Cozens, Harley, and Newhook... anywhere from 5-20 is going to be extremely tough to predict, though.

      It's been leaked that our extended interviews and invites to Vancouver prior to the draft are Zegras, Newhook, Caulfied and Broberg. I'm fine with any!

  2. If you're Edmonton, do you do Puljujarvi for Callahan? Do you do it if you're Tampa?

      Why would Callahan agree to waive his NMC to go to an AHL team?

    3. canucklehead44

      canucklehead44

      Why on earth would Edmonton do this. Puljujarvi is a 6'4, 225 lb recent 4th overall pick. He is 21 not 25. 

      Two seasons ago Virtanen scored 19 points in 65 AHL games. Would you have wanted to drop him back then for  Callahan?

      thejazz97

      You know what, I forgot about the NMC

       

      As for Virtanen for Callahan, no - we're taking the long road to rebuild. And, we don't need a competent winger like the Oilers do. Now I get that Callahan might be setting the bar a little too low, but he's still a (albeit past his prime) skilled forward with captaincy and playoff experience.

      Never read the books or seen the movies.  I do know that Alan Rickman played one of the characters though.  In the movies, whichever character Rickman played is likely the best.

  11. Gotta wonder that if Toronto offers Boston Marner for McAvoy if Boston considers it.

      thejazz97

      That's my thought behind it @Baer.

       

      Marner's incredibly skilled, and arguably more skilled than McAvoy, but McAvoy is a cornerstone defenseman and the Bruins have near zip for futures on D.

    3. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      @Generational.EP40 for Boston, Marner is arguably better than McAvoy and could be a 1C to replace Bergeron.

       

      For Toronto, they need cap space. McAvoy is an RHD on a team without one, and is on a rookie contract for one more season.

       

      I do see this as a move Toronto would initiate, though. Boston would be content to keep McAvoy.

    4. Generational.EP40

      Generational.EP40

      Boston is thin on the blueline and Toronto wouldn’t offer in the first place due to divisional rivalry.

       

      Marner is not a centre.

      ^ Having the movie start on a Thursday (an extra day of box office receipts) certainly won't hurt it's opening W/E totals.  The key will be the *following* week.  How it holds up will tell you how successfull it'll be.

      they're just lucky carolina won a cup so they can't be the most forgettable championship team

  19. Duchene is absolutely worth the Canucks 1st, but it's not worth the Canucks' (or anyone's) time to spend an asset of that quality for him.

     

    A later 1st with a good prospect? At least? Sure. 

     

    But y'all acting like he hasn't been a PPG+ player for the past 14 months on the worst team in the league.

      You could have phrased it as. Duchene worth a 1st rounder. Just not the Canucks 1st rounder? 

    4. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      i think you meant he is worth a canucks first rounder in 2025

      (isn't that the cup year for this team ??)

  20. This is the draft where I'd rather not get 1st. Kakko is better for our team's needs, but it'd be so much fun to see the Hughes bros play for the same team. Hope for 2nd, and let a different team make that decision.

      @40Dangles Many people thought similar things about Olli Juolevi in his draft year. So I take it with a grain of salt.

       

      Forward is the safer play still,unless the Canucks truly believe in Byram's potential.

       

       

       

    3. 40Dangles

      40Dangles

      @Chip Kelly well after a slow start In the AHL Juolevi had 13 pts in 18 games and went pointless in his first 5 or 6. Not sure why you see that as bad. Juolevi always needed time in Europe or AHL given his strength needed to be improved, quite common for young Dmen.  Not sure how Juolevi has any bearing on Byram’s ability 

    4. Bruce Boudreau

      Bruce Boudreau

      @40Dangles I was comparing how both play a similar 2 way game.

       

      Juolevi was a top 10 pick. Is Byram as good or better?

       

      Byram is bigger and more effective probably in the physical department though. I give him that.

       

      It's wait and see for me. Juolevi has to shed his injury prone label though.

       

      He was supposed to be as good or better than Olli Maata when in his draft year, and his development has not gone as quick as It should have due to injuries.

       

      So let's see if he can stay healthy and get back on track.

       

      He should be a regular on the Canucks D by 2021 at the latest.

      I'd try and trade Pouliot for Cooper Marody straight up.

       

      Or Pouliot for the rights to Joel Persson (Pettersson's ex-teammate from Vaxjo).

       

      I'd trade Pouliot for anything at this point!

      Kevin Lowe lacing up the skates & returning to the blueline might improve that team (mainly because it would take him out of management for the time being :P).
