    Can you imagine if Benning had tried to get Max Domi From Arizona when he was only scoring 9 goals a season..  What would it have cost? Probably a young under achieving player like Domi was, say Goldobin.  A trade for Max Domi would have solved the “who do we play Bo with?” Riddle.   Bo Horvat and Domi would have been the makings of a second line for many years.  Hindsight I guess.  

    They would want atleast Goldobin/Virtanen/a young D-man + 2nd round pick. And the CDC would explode on JB for trading “another” 2nd round pick while the team is still “rebuilding”

    A lot of you brought up Dale Tallon always nailing his top 3 picks, that is not true. He nailed with Toews (3rd OA) and Kane (1st OA), however, he also drafted Cam Barker (3rd OA) and Erik Gudbranson (3rd OA) as well.

     

    Edit: just checked, Cam Barker was not his pick, he was an assistant GM then.

    But to say Monohan isn't the better player is a lie. He's definitely the better forward. Whether you'd prefer one or the other on your team is a different story but Monohan has been good the past few seasons. Bo's only had one decent season. Hopefully he continues to trend the way he is but I don't think you can argue a guy that was over a ppg (even if it was with Gudreau) last season isn't better than somebody who put up over 20 points less. 

    If Monahan is shut down, he isn’t effective at all. He only got those points because he get spoon fed the puck in front of the net by Johnny Gaudreau. In the past few seasons when he wasn’t with Gaudreau, his offence take a big dip. Gaudreau is the driver of that lines offence. 

     

    Another example one should look at is Lindholm. It is not coincidence Lindholm’s offence take a big leap and had a career year the moment he was put on a line with Gaudreau.

     

    If you take Monahan off the Gaudreau line he is going to have a dip of at least 20 points.

     

    Meanwhile, if you look at Bo Horvat. He has never had any consistent elite winger on his wing throughout his career. Last year defines how good he was. He played with 30 different pairs of wingers last season and still put up 61 points. The majority of his wingers are not your typical skilled wingers.

     

    Monahan to me is one of the most overrated players in the league.

    Both Olofsson and Makar are pointing up good numbers from the powerplay. If they keep getting those prime minutes, I don't think Hughes has a chance for the Calder. Makar is actually my early favourite. 

    If only we put Hughes on the first unit and get our PP going, he would still have a chance. The Canucks PP is too stale, there needs to be more movement among the players and the puck. We have the personnel to have a good powerplay, we just need to get it to execute.
