Brocks a beaut! Him, Bo and Elias have the potential to drag this franchise out of obscurity and back into Stanley Cup relevance. MGMT just need to shore up the back end in the next couple drafts and its off to the races

The one thing to remember with regards to real estate is this; The best time to purchase is always last year

I would only do that if Patrick were still on the board. I think Hischier is going to fall way short of what most are projecting. He's isn't as high profile as Mackinnon. Players from the Q are always over rated. Huberdeau, Couturier, Mackinnon, PLD. Hischier had so so point totals in comparison to some recent high QMJHL draft picks.

Joke'el had a tough time because he's terrible, total turnstile. When the O-line played well they played really well?? Yeah but the problem is, that was so rare that its worthless to bring up. As good as he is Cable cant keep making chicken salad out of chicken sh**. Last year proved that The defensive is not what it used to be. Age and injuries are catching up. Kam and Thomas both injured and missed games the last two years. Sherman has lost a step and Bennett and Avril are both over 30.

I've followed this team since 1981. You?

Fair enough. I may sound like a complainer but I don't think its sustainable to continue to rely on finding gems in the rough. Wilson is already showing signs of wear due to having to run for his life every time he drops back to throw a pass because the offensive line is so putrid, and Schneider has done nothing to rectify it. They have a college basketball player protecting his backside for the love of Pete. Seriously now. George Fant? How long do you think Wilson will last taking the kind of beating he sustained last year. The guy had to wake up every 2 hours for treatment just to be healthy enough to suit up each week. You cant deny that can you?

yeah its getting old. He's surviving off the back Pete's talent as a head coach. That's gonna wear out eventually

They won that super bowl with several key players who were 1st round picks. Lynch, Unger, Okung, Thomas, Harvin, Irvin, and Mebane just to name a few. You're right that you win with players drafted outside of the 1st round. You have to. No team has 22 1st round picks as starters but the way their going they wont have any. They haven't drafted but one player in the first round since what 2012? And that was last years pick which was 31st oa. That's one late 1st rounder in 5 years. Its enough already. They got lucky with a few 2nd and 3rd round picks. Wagner, Sherman, and Chancellor sure but its unsustainable. But where are the Earl Thomas', Max Ungers, Russell Okungs. They're in the 1st round that's where.

A global war is very unlikely. What is going to continue is the constant threat of war. The best way to syphon tax dollars is to convince the public that their safety is dependant on arming up the military. The greatest scam is buying enough guns, bullets and missiles to defeat your enemy but never actually defeating your enemy. Think about it, as long as there is the threat of attack by some made up enemy, we'll continue to hand over our hard earned money in the form of tax ( it's essentially protection money). Mobsters garnered untold wealth using this tactic. They would shake down ma and pa stores to keep them safe. We're still paying for WWII for the love of Pete and their's no end in sight either. My kids will be paying for that war, their kids will pay for it and their kids after that and so on. There is a great book you can read called "War is a Racket" clears up a lot of what's happened over and over for hundreds of years

None of those are 1st round picks that's what

One of the reasons the O-line sucks is because he traded Unger AND a 1st rounder for an over rated TE who cant block inline. If you're going to trade your best o-lineman for a TE, at least trade for one who can block inline. He's made some very shaky trades involving 1st round picks. Percy Harvin? seriously?

What the hell is Schneider doing. Make a 1st round pick already. its not that hard. They traded back twice. For what? an extra, late 3rd round pick. Starting to get annoyed with this jack hole

I guess they'll be 0-2 before anyone else huh

Got it.They have all their prospects on the roster already I suppose. That team should be better then 25th overall

I did miss that thanks. In the system is what we're talking about. They did trade a fair amount away in the Kane/Myers deal did they not. I would be ok with very little prospect depth for the Canucks if their current roster had those five forwards I just mentioned. Very solid top six in Buff. They just need to get some help on the back end

Is it really that weak? or am I missing something here. They have some great depth at center with Eichel, O'Reilly and Reinhart. Kane and Okposo on the wings. Maybe just maybe they would trade to improve their depth on D??

I might have more to do with developing the player that they draft and maximizing his talent. The Canucks have done a piss poor job of that since like...forever

Yup. They cant take anything off the table on this one

Lol. And Paolo Rossi is in line to be the next head coach

We aint getting a top 2 pick lets just face facts. Now, what do we do when we get pick 3, 4 or 5. Is there a boa fide #2 offensive center in this draft? I am totally open to JB shopping the pick for a young #2 center. This franchise is going nowhere without one so lets figure it out

What is the expectation with Valardi as a top pick? Is he a true top 2 center. I seem to recall either Button or Mackenzie saying he may be a better fit as a winger at the next level. Anyone here have a solid opinion on that? If he's going to end up on the wing in the NHL then JB has to take a pass even if we are picking a 5 oa. Glass or Mittlestat makes more sense

Wow! that is one soft lineup. I would hate to see how beat up that team would be if it were actually able to make through 82 games

Yeah exactly... its called tried and true. What are you? anti Canadian? Eight out of ten scouts have Patrick as the better player and its no fluke he's a Canadian kid with NHL pedigree. All things being equal the percentages prove over time Canadians are better hockey players. Believe it.

I recall CDC'ers suggesting the Canucks trading Bo Horvat and their 1st round pick (#6) just to draft Sam Reinhart. Such lunacy on here at times

1 inch and 25 lbs. What country has a history of producing the best players to ever play the game? it ain't Switzerland. The numbers clearly show Canadian players surpass any other nation by a huge margin when considering talent. Did you even see the 100 best players list? Its not sad its just facts
