With VP now a Canuck maybe if Brock doesn't want to sign/ reach a deal.....trade brock for tarasenko???...I know he just won a cup and I don't know what a deal would look like but he is signed for acouple more seasons iirc
I agree we have never had a prospect pool this good....I'm not saying go out and make a huge splash I just mean add another second or get lucky and add a late first and we may lack assets but we have cap space...
I get that he might gone...but Jim never bites the built and makes a trade...his biggest trade was kesler and he forced a trade...your not tired of seeing nothing happen?
Most rebuilding teams take bad contracts for picks or move vets and sign free agents.....not Jim though
I'm a Jim benning fan but if he doesn't do anything this draft...I have to say Canucks have to bring in a pres like Burke cause it shows Jim can't trade....I've watched the trade deadline every year and watch him do almost nothing and same goes for the draft.....I want Zegras so bad and please no Barrie need a big right hand D. He'll bring in Lucic if he comes with picks....just do something.
Well his the only D that plays with an edge in the top what 20....
in todays nhl I would say yes....
his not pronger mean but he could be like trouba and with his size, he should be able to clear the crease
Could picture Zegras centring the second line and Green playing bo with petey and brock
This draft lacks RD. I really want Rees in the second round ha
i almost wonder maybe Jim finds his RD next year cause theres not much out there.
I agree he would be perfect for Hughes.
Pronger types.....ummmmm ha I haven't seen any with his mean streak for awhile...I used him as example cause him and Scott had perfect balance just like Keith and Seabrook.
If there was a Pronger type D in this draft he would be going higher then 10 ha
Broberg I'm not to high on....he will need a stay at home D like Muzzin. having Hughes and OJ and a deep depth on the left side but drafting him we could move OJ but his stock isn't to higher right now and Seider is a right shot and plays with an edge and use to playing against men.
Byram would be perfect but his not dropping to us.
Two skill guys together? Ha oilers tried that and so have the leafs. Who clears the crease?
You need balance.....Keith and Seabrook and Niedermayer and Pronger....
Seider should be the only D on Jim's mind cause with Hughes and OJ will both need a mean guy like seabrook or pronger.
I really hope Jim doesn't draft a D man unless it's Seider.....with Hughes and OJ and woo....that would be a perfect balance to a top four.
Thats a top four you can win a cup with smart and nasty
