New Jersey was forced to forfeit their 3rd round pick because the 1st contract Kovalchuk signed with the Devils last summer was deemed to be cap circumvention.

I'm guessing that's why the 2nd round had 31 selections and the 3rd had 29.

^ Yeah don't forget New Jersey still has to decide which first round pick they want to forfeit in the next couple upcoming drafts. xp

LOL

right man, right.

COVID and the tough North Divison- both were excuses, of course.

Now we know that the problems are much more fundamental.

Thanks for bringing this up.

but but but the GM said this and he would never lie unlike the evil DRANZZZZ and DOLLY WALL !!!

No one ever once said that the North Division was "tough."   Once again, you are making $&!# up because that's what your leaders MS and Y2K at HF Canucks have instructed you to do.  

As far as this year goes, the Canucks would have been a middle of the road team had Pettersson and Boeser not completely fallen off a cliff.  So - if you or your "clan" at HF accurately predicted that Petey and Boeser would completely tank this season, then kudos.  From what I can tell though, "your people" predicted the following:

1) OEL would be a train-wreck.

2) The OEL-Myers pairing would get hemmed.

3) Dickinson would be an upgrade over Sutter, Beagle, and Gaudette as Dickinson had pretty good defensive metrics in a number of defensive categories from an analytics perspective (this was touted as one of the "few good moves" that Benning had made throughout his tenure)

4) The Canucks would struggle mightily 5 on 5.

5) Our team would be overly reliant on its Powerplay

6) Our PK would suck.

So congrats - "your people" got #6 right, and #4 to a minor extent.  

Not one of you guys however mentioned anything about Pettersson or Boeser.  

"Your people" are standing there in pretention claiming that "we told you that this would happen," but the Canucks are failing due to completely different reasons.   I have no idea what happened in the lorckerroom in 2020-2021, or what went on behind the scenes in the 2020 off-season, but something must have definitely happened.  

Other than letting Toffoli walk and being overly loyal to Travis Green, I can't see a single mistake that Benning made post 2020 bubble playoffs.  Nate Schmidt for a 3rd should have been a steal.  Hamonic, on paper, wasn't that much of a downgrade from Tanev.....only difference being that Hamonic came with much better term and money.  Holtby (a 1A goalie) was required in order to help insulate Demko into his new role as a #1.  

Even this year, guys like Garland, Hamonic, and Demko shouldn't be that much of a downgrade from Toffoli, Tanev, and Markstrom.......except with the former three, we have much more favourable term and money.  

Demko faces a lot of high danger chances, but not to the extent that Markstrom was facing in 19-20.    

But hey - if you guys predicted that Pettersson, Boeser, and Dickinson would be complete non-entities this season, then more power to you.

Join sim leagues again, homie

disappointed that you didn't have the inside scoop on this one for us   

For sure this time?

y u so jelly of the manly men of Rugby?

You don't know what you're missing. It was a helluva BC Lions game tonight. Why does it always have to be NFL or CFL? Why can't people like both? Geez.

I love both....a football game is a football game and if you missed the one last night, you missed a doozie!

Eagles blow

What's worse is Vick is hurt

But Mike Kafka had a good game taking over for Vick.

Definatly

It's still too early

My mic was shut off.

hahahaha

My dad paid the microphone guy to cut his microphone when he had to do his wedding speech. :D

Raymond isn't scoring but he's playing great and contributing. He's been an unsung hero this playoff season, quietly making big time defensive plays.

I agree. He adds a lot of pressure to the B's defense. He's been nothing short of valuable.

No it wasn't

Wally Burger is a great little old burger joint.

Courtesy of me =]

Tbh though I haven't tried any of the suggestions either...just reading about them gives me mouthgasms though

Are you asleep yet?

well try your best.

Lucky bastard.

Complete BS.

SPLIT THE SEDINS THEY SUCK TOGETHER

Split them up its time for some serious changes to be made to all the lines. Something has to give with this team. No playoffs or out in the first round.

I'm hoping for the same!

sounds good

pretty much burned alive...

the simpsons ! wow that just clicked in

GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo yes! :D Go Vick

That was the best!

That was the best!

That show was classic

WOOOOOOOOOO!

OH YEAH ! GO NUCKS !

sup /b/ro

4chan noob

Yeah, but we deserved the 2-man advantage.

Only blaming the ref for the Burrows call clearly Fiddlers own fault . Both teams got away with murder imo

Is that a guarantee? Because I would really like a guarantee.

THEY WILL WIN!!!!!!

Cue the argument that European captains winning a cup is a myth.

It's gonna happen regardless. Both Chara and Hank are Euro.

???????? WTF are you talking about?
