  1. so, in Lotto 1 there are 7 eliminated teams + 8 blanks? and If one of those blankes were to win 1 OA then there is a second Lotto with all 8 teams that fail to advance into the round of 16, and all 8 of those teams have a 12.5 % (equal ) chance at the 1st OA pick? Is that how it works? And if 2 Blanks pick top 3, there is a 3rd lotto for the second top 3 pick? and if all 3 top 3 picks are blanks, there will be a 4th Lotto for the 3rd pick?
  2. quick, can we sign Lou Angotti as associate coach
  3. You are a Jim believer. I note that you place the blame on Judd but not Jim. It is possible that Judd finds a new job that he can progress in and the stress you forcast never happens. also possible that Jim is diminishing Judd's accomplishments because that shades him in a better light. Jim has a way of speaking that clearly rings true to you, but smells of passive /aggresive BS to me. What you stated sounds "sorta" like a compliment, but not really. It sounds condesending to me. If I said"Jester has really progressed in his responses to me in the last 5 years" . You would tell me to stuff my condesending self some place not sunny. Its not really over with until Jim stops losing staff and Judd disappears into the sunset. If Judd fails, its over. if Judd succeeds and the Canucks fail, it could be Cam Neely all over again
  4. Dealing only with your last statement I agree that Jim is not a deep thinker, but I get the feeling he has some knowledge of the below graphic, but possibly not a full understanding. He talks of character (integrity) and he praises his team, but there is sonmething in his delivery that leads me to believe that he is trying to keep up with current trends but is not fully bought in. For those who wish to believe that all is rosy, Jim and Judd both say all the right things, but this split does not seem amicable. The same could be said about Trevor's leaving. I have never heard the details about Jim leaving Boston, but I wonder if he left the same way Judd is leaving Vancouver? Jim could have stayed, and maybe been next in line for Chirelli's job, but maybe the writing was on the wall and Jim knew he would not get that opportunity. I am totally guessing, so I expect to gett flamed for this. None the less, Boston lost their top 2 hockey ops guys and landed on their feet. I am also guessing the prospect of losing Benning did not cause this much of a stir in Boston. Back to the graph below, I feel Jim is caught somewhere betwenn the two graphs, trying his best to sound like #2 while hiding his desire to maintain control like #1. Dealing
  5. Hammarstrom got fired? link? this statement assumes that Jim is both accutely aware and confident in his roll. 1 If Judd is a genius he might scare Jim 2 How has Jim proven that he is smart? 2a Who has he surrounded himself withthat are smart and capable? 3 what is the "obvious " reason Jim didn't give Judd Autonomy? Maddogy, I put this here because I think you get it but some on this site believe that the top graphic is true. Now I do not think the second graph is 100% true 100% of the time, but it is close enough If as someone suggested above, Jim is overrulling his scouts every draft, it would suggest he is a better scout than manager
  6. the Wild are an old team, maybe the oldest. 3 of our top 4 scorers have a combined age of 63 4 or their top 5 = 135 we have a current vezina candidate they have a recent vezina candidate , who had a tough year and may have lost his job to the career back up or may come back rested and ready Duby has 1 series win, Marky and Stalock have none the coaches are equally inexperienced So, I think this series comes down to whether our youth out plays their experience or do the old boys prevail whether any of the 3 goalies really step up and steal a few games (maybe none of them do, maybe its a 4 goalie series) and which coach proves his metal Ultimately, do the Canucks come out with a "why not us" attitude or do the Wild decide "this is our last kick at it, lets go out with a bang"
  7. I"ll have run this by aGENT or Sam I am not clear if "consensus on CDC" is more or less credible than JD Burke
  8. cougars would be awesome, a mature hand could probably help him with his "stick work"
  9. that may be true, but it begs the question, 'why hire Wiesbrod if he brings redundant skills to the skills Jim brings?'
  10. I never understand why Canuck fans think we, as a non playoff/non contending team can package guys that cannot make our team in order to pluck other teams future stars. Are you still talking about Dobson? He was a # 12 pick and he is 6'4" D-man What value is Rafferty, Brise or OJ to the Isles, if they cannot make the Canucks? Would you do that deal if you were the Isles? if so why? for that matter, if you were the Canucks, would you trade away Boeser for Virty+ one of those guys? I think as Canuck fans, we'd all be happy to trade away Ballard, Raymond and a 2nd, but it didn't happen when we were winning, it has less chance now that we are not.
  11. mosquitos when did we start taling about mosqui... oh wait nvr mind I thouught that was a new thing
  12. Well except that it is just you who keeps bringing up JD Burke. So if I stop responding this JD Hi-jack will end. so, I will not respond to any more JD posts Have fun
  13. Same. How do we draft 8th? all the teams below us win their series (non-playoff series) and we lose? It is kind of the best of both worlds for us at this point This non-playoff series is defacto playoff experience so if we lose we get PO experience and the pick if we win, we get more experience its kind of win-win at this point
  14. So what if we sent a 2020 team back into the past, how do you think they would do against an 82 or 74 team? Remember Conn Smythe, "If you can't beat them in a Soy Latte bar, you can't beat em on the ice"
  15. Imagine if we had to play 3 games in Minni in the next 12 days

  17. that is funny because I don't read or regurg his stuff, but you bring it up
  18. Practice, We talking about practice? What I find funny is that there is a group on herre that seem to spend a lot of time talking smack about the media. They also seem to spend a lot of time seeking out the same said media to give them somethihng to talk about. They HATE the media, but cannot stop clicking. They when you try to make a point about anything, they claim you are parroting the media that they hate. I don't read JD Burke, in fact I read one of his posts last week just to get a taste of what aGENT and and Sam were on about. Sounds self agrandizing, I don't think I need more. Honestly, I'd rather listen to Brian Burke than JD. This is where it gets funny, "JD Burke is a moron. Jim is a great GM because he signed Myers for less than JD Burke thought" "My grandmother can't skate. Jake Virtanen was a great pick because he skates better than my grandmother" If you don't like JD Burke don't read his stuff, I don't. If you want to argue the merits if Jim Benning or Judd Brackett, compare them to other GMs or scouts. If you want to talk about JD Burke, start a thread about him. You and aGENT and Sam can have a great time talking about what a fool he is. To me, JD Burke is like a fly. A parasite? yes. Interesting? no. Worth hating? no. Influential? not to me.
  19. Hey Dazzle, I asked if you thought he looks in shape you chose not to answer? I saw a 3 second video, and I guessd the rest Its not hard to see if you know what to look for. When he's on his game his face is cut and his eyes are clear when he parties his face is round and his eyes are red starting to look like Kassian 2.0 I wonder if the Canucks have learned anything about dealing with substance issues in the last 3 years?
  20. so, you think he looks in shape and ready to play in his new clip? I posted the old pic because I think he looks doughy in the new vid, possibly not AS doughy, but not is shape you can agree or disagree and time will tell

    Judd Brackett

    You and Silent Sam are talking in circles. How does being a better GM than the "Ususal Media Idiot" improve JB's case?
