He's definitely a keeper.  No question.

"I say the future is ours...."

The Baseball Furies for our 4th line?

are they a thing? its like Toronto royalty. 

"Not bad but you gotta watch out for those older ladies."

Already a very solid #1 in Buffalo and he’s not even 20

And the Sabres just won in OT!!!

DTS has drawn in a bunch of new fans to F1, would be interesting to see if a similar series could do the same for the NHL.

"The ones who know little about Star Wars".

Nerd alert.

@Scottish⑦Canuck daisy Ridley and mark hamill, maybe even others, both have said before the movie came out the script was terrible.  

They were interviewed before the release of the movie

@peaches5source?

For their aversion to putting up any points, and my love of baked goods:

The Donuts or Ari-donut

I'm having a hard time with this, I still like Beagle. Can we put Loui on a different line? 

And the thing about this is if we took Glass over the highly skilled Swede people would be saying we passed on Nylander 2.0

someone on CDC is  

Silly people

well I guess there is that.

I feel bad for this team. The heavy front loaded schedule without exhibition games and enough time to practice clearly hurts.

Honestly I think Greens coaching is poor as well. Worked the team to hard early on and now they're clearly tired and can't recuperate.

Work hard in Utica. 

The $6 million Dollar Man lives to carry on

The Lee Major one was more entertaining (Man made freak)

I have heard nothing but amazing things about his leadership qualities, Every scouting report on him talks about his 2 way game and ability to quickly make reads in his own zone. What would that be like to have somebody without the name Tanev be able to do that for the Canucks?

Yes please.

Cooke was only a "goof" (re: really questionable hits) until *AFTER* he left the Canucks (not saying he was a boy scout but he really ramped it up in the Brad Marchand type of behavior when he took off our jersey).

How has Mike Smith's name not come up in here yet?

Gotta get RW Claude Lemieux in there for the way he rearranged Kris Draper's face on the board dasher.

@Fateless sure, doesn't change how your other arguments were poorly thought out. Also your dismissive and idiotic comment about weed not being legal. 

Loui Eriksson was 31 when he signed his contract and his slower style of game wasn't a fit. That's not a good analogy. That and being 6 million bucks a year for 6 years knowing you can't be moved. Kadri is no Eriksson so I just don't get why you're pushing that so hard to crap on him. Kadri is a decent player who has wheels and Christ, as I pointed out, Kadri isn't scoring only because of his line mates. Nor am I suggesting we ship out Dahlen for Kadri. How does it help? Grit, toughness, scoring? All three things everyone was complaining about last year. Oh man. 

I'm not even that invested in the idea, I'm just completely baffled by how blind and biased some Canuck fans are. 

Not even going to comment on Pettersson. If you watched the World Championships you'd know he's a player. Already creative than Backlund. Won't be a super star next season, but he'll be a heck of a player. 

one step further , gudbranson gets a suspension  for uttering threats after a game which is as bad as kadri's on ice stuff , but do you really think there would be any cohesion , sign matt martin well were at it...…...

@NHL'er - The pot comment was clearly a joke. I apologize for your feelings getting hurt.

Its not about being biased towards Kadri. He's a good player. He just doesn't fit on this team (in relation to how much we'd be giving up to acquire him). He's going to be a productive player for another 3-5 years. The problem is that by the time our team is contending for a cup, he won't be productive anymore. 27 isn't old, but its too old for the core that our team is building. By the time Pettersson is in his prime (24 years old), Kadri will be 32(?) and well past his prime. Then Kadri is just taking up roster space and likely on an overpaid contract (assuming he plays as well as you think he will for the next few years and Benning hands out his usual bloated contract extension) while we're trying to load up the team with complementary pieces. 

I stand by my Eriksson example. No one thought he was going to regress the way he has. He'd just come off his best scoring season in his career. He met the criteria you're claiming we want Kadri for (grit, toughness, and scoring). Yes I know that he was further along in his aging curve and had a higher risk of regression, but my point is that the aging curve isn't an exact science and the further Kadri gets along that curve, the more likely the bottom falls out of his career.

Not to mention he's like to have a career ending injury over the next season or two considering how much he's disliked - particularly if he puts on a Vancouver Canucks jersey. Then we REALLY wasted Tanev and Sutter.

So does this mean we're going to start seeing Lucic for Loui threads again? 

@Jimmy McGill on the flames boards ya 

1/2 retained for Loui. Lets do it, if for nothing else than to have both Edmonton and Calgary retaining money on him. 

Do it

Bettman decided we were all too passionate and decided to put us on time out

someone in accounting

forgot to pay a certain bill

and a certain board got cut off

and needed a day and half to sort things out

AJ how can it be logistical? Did they move the servers?

Tell Halak it's a chance to win a Stanley Cup if he goes to Edmonton.

I'll take even a 2nd for him.

How about Borgault?

I don't see a problem with that, unless we draft Matthews. So basically we should trade down if we win the lottery?

LOL

I cheered for the Leafs until we got our team.  Saw them win three Cups in the 60’s.  Guys like Keon, Horton, the Big M.  Those guys were so much better than these current Leaf, so called, stars.
