    This guy has an agent, who is obviously guiding what he says.  It is a statement that has no value, because he can’t stop any team from selecting him.  But he can help that team, who selects him, get in front of the coming storm with this statement.  It’s all just publicity people working behind the scenes.  

    Damn. His agent is good. Had me fooled. I thought mailloux was in his room all night writing that. Definitely worth his 10%

    Makes me wonder. Benning might just love this kid's character by admitting his wrongs and saying he wants to do better.  What if teams pass on him, but Benning decides to take him with the 5th or 6th?  

    As a sixth rounder would be sweet. But all the clubs will respect his wishes and he will go in the first round next year. If I'm him for that year I'm only using a rotary dial phone. No cells with cameras haha

    Step in the right direction from this young man. My only hope is that those aren't hollow words and no team does draft him. This could be a turning point in his life, a wake up call. I hope every team passes on him so he gets that wake up call.

    Mailloux 2022 baby!!!!!!! Go get him Benning! One of the most beautiful statements I've ever read.

    He can redeem himself for being a stupid kid fine.  But that action will never go away.

     

    I am ever so tired of hearing about it though and even more tired of hearing it defended.  

     

    If the Canucks draft him, cool. He has all of the hallmarks of a potential NHL player with longevity.  I will support the pick if they do knowing that there's 20 years of potential hockey in him.  If they don't so be it.

    He will bring the cup to Vancouver.

    You asked a question and I answered, no need to act like a sarcastic dweeb.

    what he did was really creepy. Shows a big lack of character. 

     

    Can you show us where he's made any amends for what he did? whats he done to show he won't do something like this again? 

    He made a statement. What else can he do give money to unicef?

    At 16 and 17 you can be tried as an adult, let’s stop making it seem as though he’s an 8 year old making decisions. I agree that he didn’t get away with it and was handed down the law by Swedish standards and with what he did more then likely wouldn’t get jail time anywhere with it being a first offence. He was fined and that’s in line with the law he broke. But you keep making it seem as though it’s alright he made the decision he did because he’s 17. You can live on your own and work full time at 17, you’re not a toddler

    A kid can be tried as an adult for something that has to be absolutely heinous. Completely cold blood and evil.  Now I guess we're treating this on par with a grizzly murder. Snowflakes everywhere. Swedish standards? Whats the law in Canada about this? Is there one? I thought Sweden got ahead of the game and actually have a law about something like this where as canada doesn't. All I'm saying with what he did he already has been punished fittingly with it. Destroying an nhl career and threatening jail to a kid is over the top. I hope Benning gets him in the 5th round but he will go before that.

    Clearly the guy planned what he was going to do.  He should serve prison time for this.  It’s really a horrid thing to do to another person.  Shows no empathy.  Hopefully, he isn’t drafted, but I think he will be.  

    Prison now? thats rich. Yup let's get rid of juvenile detention for kids and put them in prison with adults. Nice. I take it your a kim jun un fan eh? He didn't get away with anything got in trouble for it in Sweden under their laws and will be taken late in the draft losing a pile of money. He apologized as well and is remorseful. Cause closed. Move on and let the kid become a better man instead of trying to destroy him.

    It’s a character issue. Knowing the position he was in with a bright future ahead of him he still made a poor decision by taking a photo of a woman engaging in oral sex without her knowledge or consent and then sharing that picture with others. Her face was not made visible in said picture but he then sent her online profile to the same people so they all knew who she was. It’s a disgusting thing to do someone. I don’t care that he was 17, at 17 you know what’s right or wrong and should have developed some form of a moral compass. I sure hope JB and all other GMs pass on him. Some people shouldn’t be afforded the opportunity of playing professional sports especially if they don’t conduct themselves as professionals. Mailloux and Mitchell Miller can dominate a beer league together but keep garbage people out of a great league please

    According to experts at who study brain development, Your brain isn't fully developed till 25. Hence why kids make dumb decisions. But again half of cdc appears to never done anything dumb in their childhood. Mr. Perfects up in here. But he should of known better cause he wears skates, dumb argument. I've heard kids on hockey teams and how they talk to each other believe me they ain't angels neither is anyone else at that age. Accept my kids of course haha

  10. A person or two is just about always goes in the top 10 that people don't expect. Someone is falling to us that we will be surprised. Who I want the canucks to draft is whoever Benning the great chooses!!!! #longlivebenning #kingofthedraft

    Yea that’s the biggest part. We need our core to compete now otherwise we’re just wasting prime years.

     

    Lets say one of the forwards available at 9 is a 70-80 point player by the time he’s 25.

     

    Thats 7 years from now…That means guys like Horvat, Boeser, Miller are likely on the decline. Petey and Hughes only have a few prime years left, and Hoglander and Podkolzin are in the middle of their prime.


    Meanwhile Reinhart is a piece ready to produce now. Right at the right age to enter his prime with our other core players. Probably one of the last pieces to help us make the playoffs.

     

    Easy choice for me.

     

    I hope Jim gets Reinhart for 9oa nothing else. Jim can still get a first rounder in the later rounds who plays RD. Hello mailloux
