  1. If we trade him right now do we get someone who is enough of a difference maker to get us into the playoffs? There is risk because it would hurt if the alien came back and became the ppg center I thought he was a year ago. I'd probably only trade him if the deal is worth it. Like a good young player and a first but otherwise I'd wait until next year's trade deadline to let him try to figure out whatever is going on with him. He's our best shot at a franchise #1 center that most teams have on their run to the cup. That's why it's so frustrating. Because if Petey had 20 more points this year where would we be now? In that sense, yeah we do really need him to go back to his old self. Atleast for us to he what we thought we were.
  2. I just can't believe how different the team plays with a new coach. Its the same team on the ice. I think every player just hated green when i compare the effort they are playing with now.
  3. I thought we would turn a corner this year and compete but I have almost no belief in this team right now. For years, Ive thought that once our core developed and once we shed all our bad contracts and got a supporting cast of players that these would be the years we would go on deep playoff runs. However we are so far from that expectation it's not even close. I don't even have the tiniest expectation that we are going to win games. I just feel horribly dissapointed and let down. I don't know who to blame. Petey has regressed and just isn't the same. Brock isn't the same. Horvat isn't showing leadership. Demko is a god when he's in the zone but the team is so out of touch he cannot achieve zonage. Half our defense belongs in the AHL. Green sucks. I blame Benning most for letting tanev and Toffoli go but he made a bunch of mistakes over his tenure. I think I am giving up on this team until serious changes are made. Blow it all up. Fire everyone. Have someone new begin rebuild 2.0. acquire draft picks and build depth and maybe we can be competitive in a few years. Disappointed more then ever.
  4. broken stick on a penalty. I just feel like the player should just run to the bench and get a new one. id rather be 5 on 3 for 8 seconds then 5 on 4 with a broken stick for 30 seconds
  5. in 2016 i wanted to draft Sergachev because he was the skilled D. But we went with OJ because he was the "safe pick" D. lesson is you shoot for the high hills and go all out for skill, size and the way they control the game. Turns out the safe pick was not so safe. Sad to see OJ go because I wanted him to prove me wrong by having a solid top 4, 10 year career and be the next eagle.
  6. Best game so far. I thought it was interresting how Petey and Miller let Petan take the faceoff against drai late in the third. I think he's making the team. Hope Kassian is ok. Was sad about gaj this morning but now that I I'm seing mac be a pest to the other teams and how Petan is fitting in I understand.
  7. Rn My top 9 in order: Beniers Eklund power Clarke Hughes edvinsson Guenther McTavish Johnson Draft Day I expect top 6 to be: Beniers, Power, Eklund, Hughes, Clarke, Guenther. Meaning that the second class I see as: McTavish, Johnson, Edvinsson. If wallsted goes before then we then get a choice between 2 of these 3. Anything else I see as off the board so if it happens I hope gm JB knows more than me and it works out like Pettersson has. If Edvinsson is there at 9 I guess he's my pick Of those 3 I wouldn't pass on a projected potential top paring 6'4" defender. Young and already playing pro. McTavish is good but I think he will be a 2nd line center. Johnson probably slots in as a top 6 winger when he's ready. All 3 will not be in the NHL next year. I just try to think who will be the best in two years.
  8. How about a double trade up? Canucks trade Redwings 9th + MDP + 3rd for 6th. Draft one of powers, edvinsson, Hughes, Clarke. Canucks trade Rangers Schmidt or Myers + 2nd for 15th. Draft one of Lambos or Ceulemans. If we get the RHD's, in 2 years time. Hughes Clarke Rathbone Ceulemans Juolevi Myers/schmidt That's an elite young defensive core
  9. Yes. I would do that. To me I feel the top 4 d in this draft are what we need. I really think they would be a great fit with the Canucks.
  10. I'd try to trade Detroit at 6 to move up and take whoever is left of Power, Benniers Eklund, edvinsson, Hughes, Clarke. If it's between Guenther, McTavish and Johnson, Its hard to chose. I'd probably go McTavish but I wouldn't be disappointed drafting any of them at 9. Also would be okay drafting Lambos at 9
  11. This draft is so close at the top for me. I think overal based on team need and just going BPA rn based on highlights, reading about prospects and considering centers and D more valuable. I'd go power, edvinsson, Eklund, Beniers, Clarke, Hughes, McTavish, Johnson, Gunether. If we are 9th I think it will be a selection of Johnson, McTavish or Guenther which I think is hard to chose from. If any of the above fall from above them it's a must pick. I have no idea where wallsted is going to go. He's legit but it's hard to miss on the top 9 skaters I think. Johnson and Guenther are tied to me with McTavish ahead slightly but barely, Johnson seems like a really good kid too I like him. Guenther has great skill and shot. I also would not mind drafting Lambos at 9. Got a good feeling about him but I think we could try and trade down a bit to Calgary or Chicago.
  12. It is a tough choice between Zegras and Boldy for me. They both will be good players. I would be stoked if Dach fell to 10 but i dont think he will be there. Might not be the fastest player but i think hes a big center with good hands who will get stronger on the puck. If boldy, zegras, dach and cozens are all out at 10 which is possible then i hope we get one of Newhook or Pods. There is alot of good forwards this year. There was alot of good defencemen last year. Go for the BPA. In Benning I trust.
  13. Hughes Kakko Turcotte Byram Dach Boldy Zegras Newhook Pods Krebs
  14. Going into draft my top 10 Hughes Kakko Byram Turcotte Dach Boldy Zegras Cozens Newhook Pods I think multuple of these player could fall due to teams wanting to take defencemen Broberg or Soderstrom. The last 3 drafts at our spot i would have drafted: Hughes, Glass and Sergachev. This draft is really all over the place 5-10 but turcotte and byram should be 3-4 imo
