It's really not that bad of a contract. People just like to complain.

People are crying over this contract but don't realize after this year Sedins will retire or take a discount. Pettersson, Dahlen, Juolevi, and possibly Gaudette will be on their ELC. By the time they are ready for new contract it will be a tradeable 1 year $6M contract. Stop complaining, JB knows more thane everyone of you. Kind of the reason he's making millions building this team and not us, get over it. Wait till Eriksson pots 25-30 goals this year. Then you realize we have a 4 year contract at $6M for a potential 30G scorer.. not to bad anymore right?

I remember JB being surprised Boeser fell to him.. do we have another gem?

Not based on 1 game. Based on almost every pass he's made. The guy passes people open

Man oh man Ball is something special. Knock his shooting all you want but he may be basketballs best ever Passer... his basketball IQ is off the charts. And Kuzma was robbery at 27, very impressed with his shooting

Harambe

Ow much can one make off of these and how exactly do you make the $ from it?

When LBJ goes solo and starts shooting in clutch moments come back to me. Bynum an all star? Odom an all star? Like Irving/Love/Wade/Bosh/Allen level? Don't think so. Gasol was the only real all star to help Kobe. Kobe shoots more 3's than LBJ. Most of LBJs pts are off of easy layups. LBJ is scared to take clutch shots and if he was the GOAT he wouldn't be scared.. Top of your post is funny. Kobe won Kobe won Kobe won ... LBJ lost LBJ lost LBJ lost Pretty bad finals record for a GOAT playing with not 1 but 2 or 3 all Stars. And he's got the really easy conference so a season isn't as hard as it is for teams in the west. So he's less fatigued and still losing! LBJ isnt even the best now, KD showed him up big time

That's a joke right? Please tell me that's a joke. LBJ has never won a ring without atleast 2 other all Stars playing with him. Miami - Bosh/Wade/Allan Cleveland - Irving/Love Kobe had Gasol post Shaq Kobe wanted to show he could win without Shaw and he did.. LBJ will never leave his all Stars to prove anybody wrong. That's where the greatness differs. Kobe > LBJ and anyone who thinks differently is nuts.. 5 rings, LBJ won't reach that unless he goes to the Warriors, Lakers, or Spurs

I see Gaudette being our future 2nd line C Pettersson Horvat Boeser Goldobin Gaudette Granlund Baertschi Sutter Virtanen Gadjovich McEwen Lind Palmu Zhukenov Lockwood Juolevi Stecher Tryamkin Gudbranson Hutton Brisebois McEneny Subban Demko Greig Depietro

If your basing off of last season than your not getting a correct reading. He was sheltered last year. If MJ says Ingram is the only untradable player that speaks for how good he really is. He was and maybe still is too small to be as dominate at the NBA level as he can. 1-3 more years Ball and Ingram will be a dynamic duo and they are both very good on the other side of the floor as well. In 3 years we will atleast make a finals, even in this stacked western Conference. George is coming Westbrook may follow but he will have to play a team game, he won't be a triple double machine. LBJ may, hopefully not sign here. Durant may pull a fast one and bolt to us. Ball is a player he'd love to play with. Highly unlikely but still a slight possibility At most we can get 2 of these guy, but just PG is fine with me. Jim Buss isn't here anymore, and Bron Scott is no longer coach. MJ, Walton, and Ball make players want to play here again. Ball, Ingram, George, Kuzma, Hart, Nance Jr, and Clarkson can all shoot threes

I'm going to speak it into existance Call me crazy.... 1 more time

Even without KD our team is solid after this year. Ingram and Ball will be lighting it up, PG will be here. Randle looks like he's destined to become a very special player, and Lopez is a solid C. Starting lineup 2018-2019 Ball George Ingram Randle Lopez Our bench is what will make us a very scary team to play. Like Walton is going to do wonders with this bench. You have a capable starter in Clarkson, a solid young SG in Hart, Kuzma looks good, Nance Jr is amazing, and Zubac will block everything coming his way. Clarkson Hart Nance Jr Kuzma Zubac I love what MJ and LW are doing with this team. We're trying to play Warrior basketball and I love it. Screw LBJ

LBJ is an over rated bum. He isn't clutch at all, in fact he won't take clutch shot he hands them to Irving. The best make the most of the clutch moments and No1 was as clutch as MJ or Kobe. MJ 6-0 Kobe 5-1 What's LBJ finals record? Oh and before you lay the consecutive finals apparent on me, he has absolutely no competing in the East. LBJ is a bum Keep him in the East so I can watch him cry when the Warriors/Lakers woop him year after year

As much as I know it won't happen, I'd love Durant to pull a fast one and join the Lakers. Ball George Ingram Durant Lopez Clarkson Hart Kuzma Nance Jr Zubac Lakers 2018 champs? I'm so excited to see how the Lakers look in 2018.. just please no LBJ.. Lakers are team Kobe

Lol

He's eligible for Utica. Probably a huge reason he was put ahead of Glass by JB

Euro skill, North American Heart

I wanted Makar or Glass, but Peterson is by no means a bad pick. You realize Pettersson is better than Nylander in their draft year right, and id take Virtanen over Glass. Stop complaining for the sake of complaining. If we had takem Nylander you would be crying for homeboy Virtanen and ramble on about how we needed size because the Bruins bullied us in 2011.. Welcome to Vancouver Pettersson, where you get no love until you become a star

I hate the Leafs. ..

Any trade up would have been a waste of assets considering the number of players falling. This is probably the most interesting draft I've ever seen

Didn't Kopitar go at #11 in his draft year?

Because Jim I'd the best at drafting and luckily others don't rank players like Jim does. JB didn't think there was a chance Boeser would fall to us. Luckily he did

Imagine if VGK gets Glass, Vilardi, and Liljegren

Trade Tanev for Liljegren or Vilardi now Benning! .. pretty please
