I will definitely be there live in person!

Agree, you can never just assume the goalie prospects to just properly develops and becomes the number 1 goalie you expect. Even if everything pans out and is on schedule, we will be facing with a goalie controversy with Demko and Dipietro both eyeing as starters. In that case, we will have to trade away one of them and we have to have the next guy ready to step in. It is a good pick either way, whether our current goalies pan out or not.

This kid could be another steal of a pick in the 7th round.

If only Fox signs with us after he turns UFA...

I am glad Fox is out of our division as well. He seems to be coming along as a really good puck moving D

Hamilton + Bennett???

This pick will take time to develop, but I am optimistic that he can be a solid 2-way D man if developed properly.

Hope he develops into a Dustin Byfuglien type of player.

Well it’s going to be fun saying his name when he scores

Kudos to Arizona for really screwing it up and led to us taking the perfect guy at the perfect spot.

Do you think Quinn Hughes will make the Canucks line up next season?

Yes

Hope he develops into top pairing offensive D-man

As much as I would like to see EP win it, I think it should go to either Hedman or Backstrom. Hedman for the Norris and Backstrom was a key player to bring the cup to Washington.

I don’t understand why so much negativity on a 20 year old, smart and calming defenseman who has a good season playing professionally for the first time in his career.

For those of you who are mad, Jokiharju didn’t make it as well.

Will we see EP vs. Bo next at the WC? Will Bo be tasked to shut him down when Canada plays Sweden?

Tough to lose out in a sweep, but Tri-City Americans are taking the WHL by storm. I have no idea how they were only a wild card team.

The Sedins have retired, thus this summer they won't be doing the kind of work out which would prepare one to get ready for the NHL season. EP will likely receive advice from the two as well as all the trainers and staffs and develops the best kind of work out program for him.

Because his team is so dominant, they probably wins the final in less than 6 games. Fewer games played means he will have fewer chances to pass the Sedins.

If he goes on a monstrous run in the finals, he could be ahead of both Henrik and Daniel. But I don't think he will catch Axel Holmstrom. I looked up Holmstrom. He is a 7th round pick of the Red Wings in 2014. He averages less than 0.5 PPG in the SHL and AHL regular seasons, but that one playoffs he had in 2014-15 was more of a surprise. Looking at his stats, he seems to raise his game in the playoffs.

It's tough for Edler too. He has been playing with the twins ever since he entered the NHL and I can tell in the last few days in the interviews with Edler that he is barely holding the tears back.

We gave our fairwells to a pair of Swede who sweat and bled for the Canucks for 18 years. We will see the arrival of the next duo as soon as soon as next season: Pettersson and Dahlen!
