I have to admit not knowing much about EP before the draft and was really hoping they would pick Glass. Obviously JB knows more about evaluating prospects than me
Since Benning arrived in Vancouver, he has consistently preached "character" as an attribute as part of his decisions in the draft. I think most of us know he means "good character". MT doesn't epitomize the positive part of that attribute.
I wonder if the start overseas will have some effect, perhaps relieving a bit of pressure not playing at home. Or even "team building" whatever that means. Obviously it depends on who is picked to go to China
Don't recall that Alf. I only saw a handful of live games going to BCIT in the early 80's (ugh, looking around the pillars at the top of the coliseum) Have been watching televised games since 1970 though.
Not a bad comparison but hopefully OJ has a much higher ceiling. Lumme was a good defence man for the Canucks and is still somewhat of an ambassador for them.
