People need to read the posts they are commenting on…
I didn’t say all top ten picks end up as stars. I said you should get an NHL player and often at the top end of the lineup from those picks. If you are running at 50% on picks in that range, no one gets to call you a good scouting/draft guy.
Yeah, if you aren't getting a bona fide NHLer in the top 10-15 of the draft, you aren't drafting well. Bona Fide NHLer does not mean star, just an NHLer who is playing every night.

I hope it's more than a 3rd.. Would rather re-sign Schenn than a 3rd round pick that will likely never play a game in the NHL.

Contrary to some views on here; I don't think Demko is on the block at all. I think this is more to do with evaluating Silovs against a pretty good NHL team and also as a reward for his solid play in Abby.
He no longer has his added signing bonus to pad his salary and only makes 70K in the minors. Getting a boost in wages for his time spent with the big club is a nice added benefit too.
I honestly didn't think Demko was on the block either, and I hope he isn't. Just seems strange that they're starting Silovs, but it very well could just to be see where he's at when it comes to NHL ready, for a back up roll next year.
They could've just called Silovs up to sit on the bench for a couple of days and still got that boost in pay and time with the big club. Just shocking to me that he's starting.

That's very surprising to me, figured he'd just be up here to get some money.
With this news, I'm starting to think they might actually be thinking of trading Demmer and want to see what they have in Silovs, especially since Martin was only loaned to Abby and not assigned.

Unless he wants out or they get an offer they can't turn down, I doubt the demko rumours have much merit.
Yeah, it would have to be an amazing offer I think for the Canucks to think about moving him. And I think it was our media creating the Demko wants out rumour.

Yep… I am pretty amazed that Ottawa didn’t pick him up. Maybe they are committed to tanking hard. They won’t get a lot of wins with that goaltending tandem.
Martin isn't much better lol.

Yeah I don’t know why he’s been playing the PK the entire year. 65% you’d think they’d actually try different players
Because we are tanking while pretending we aren't!

I'm sure management is hoping someone will claim him, but it's not happening lol.

I dunno. from Toronto and Murray just went on reserve. Wouldn't be shocked if someone took a stab.
I'd be shocked if anyone took him.. he's a 3rd string goalie.

there was around 90s left on the clock I believe. The clock would have stopped, I forget whether or not PHI had a timeout remaining or not (I think they had 1?). Regardless, 80ish seconds is enough to get into field goal range to tie it. The Chiefs may have still won but the brutal call robbed philly of the chance to answer. It just leaves a sour taste after what was otherwise a really good game.
Well Bradberry has come out and owned the call, saying he hoped he was gonna get away with one. He admitted to tugging on Juju's sweater and the hold, refs caught it.
Not a great way to end a great game, a penalty never is, but it happened and the team that had all the momentum in the 2nd half, won the game. Which I still think would've happened even without the call.

They would have kicked the field goal anyway. Philly would have had a about a minute. Not sure the would have moved the ball far enough to tie it up.
Chiefs had the momentum in the 2nd half.
I was actually rooting for the Eagles, but they had too many passengers on defence to win this game. 7 defensive linemen who could start on most teams and not one gd sack. Wtf?
This right here. The penalty will be the reason the Chiefs won, in a lot of people's minds. But really they were all over the Eagles in the 2nd half and were going to score and win there even without the holding call.

That was the worst halftime show in NFL history. On top of that, the game was rigged with the worst holding call in Super Bowl history…
Was not a good call, even though there was a hold just could've been let go, but I wouldn't say the game was rigged lol. Mahomes and the Chiefs were just the way better team in the 2nd half.

Never seen that before.
They need a new Brady. Mahomes is it.
I mean he is, but he's also the best QB in the league, so it makes sense.

That penalty is a killer.

So when is a catch and a fumble? Do you need to count to 3 to have control of the ball to count as a catch?
Needs to be time to make a football play. IE turn and make a move up field

It's to the Canucks for Myers, Stillman and a 4th. They're doing us a solid for taking the OEL contract.

A mild silver lining, but let’s face it, the really issue is what is happening towards the top of the draft. Some really good talent there….which, with each win, won’t be making its way into our system. We need to go on a serious run of losses to tank and I just don’t see it happening. I feared for Bruce’s health so I’m ok with letting him go, but the new coach bump could really hurt our long term success.
The Canucks are in dire need to some elite talent in our system. Early returns seem to suggest that Raty ain’t that. I’ll be happy to be wrong about that though.
We have won 5 games since the new year, and lost 11. That's a 31% winning rate, you can't really expect much worse. No team in the NHL loses every single game.
Inflation : 40 Year High

Yep, what they call inflation isn't really true inflation as they remove fuel and food out of their calculations.
Well I'm sorry, but I still have to feed myself, heat my house and drive. So as much as they want to tell me inflation shouldn't include those things, those things really effect peoples bank accounts, probably more than anything else.
