  1. At 4.3 mill when we need to sign Petey and Hughes next season?
  2. Then why not sign a capable backup and save the cap space? Lol
  3. How can he be better than Markstrom? Marky was the only goalie in the league to not allow an unscreened shot from a non-scoring distance. Do you know how rare that is? Lol
  4. Also is it confirmed it's a nmc? That's &^@#in brutal if that's the case.
  5. Holtby isn't the goalie he used to be and I think people that love this deal are the same type of people who wanted Quick a couple years ago. Would have rather spent the money on offense or defense.
  6. Honestly Connauton had all of the tools but neutered his flashy offensive game to play in the NHL. He used to have amazing poise and jump offensively and then he shut it off to focus on defense to be in the league.
  7. So let me get this straight he isn't going to be a ppg first liner for us off the get go like half of CDC thinks is what you're saying???
  8. Eh. Wasn't anything close to Petey I that regards. I was seeing NHL level plays from Petey and his teammates had no idea they should have been there, with Podkolzin I'm finding NHL level hands but really not seeing anywhere close to the iq that Petey had at the juniors.
  9. I actually see a huge amount of Drysdale in this kid.
  10. What makes him great for me is he understands how to analyze prospects. He's great at scouting the potential strengths and weak eases of a player.
  11. This guy is the best scout guy on YouTube I've found.
  12. Honest question, why isn't he a first round draft pick the way the scouting reports say???
  13. Also Sportsnet is unanimously the worst draft coverage in the history of draft coverage. They don't even have top prospects available due to ranking. What a joke. I miss TSN.
  14. Just came to say Drysdale is really sketchy defensively. Injured Erik Karlsson level defense. Perfetti and Rossi are huge steals in this draft so far. I think the mistakes of being taken so early are Drysdale and Sanderson.
  15. I would have given Makar my vote too. He had the better season. With that said if I'm building a team I'm rakjng Hughes over Makar.
  16. Anybody who says Edler is our best defenseman and claims they're intelligent is laughable. What does he do that's better offensively than Hughes? Defensively than Tanev? He's not in the same league in either of those categories as those two. You're living in the past. The guy puts up 0.5ppg playing on the powerplay and over 22 minutes a night. What next, you're gonna tell me he's a fast skater?
  17. Yeah I think that's the way it'll go too but I definitely wouldn't say it's the smart decision a gm would make when they're trying to win a cup.
  18. I'd actually look at trading Edler for picks over dropping Tanev. Edler is dispensable in my opinion, Tanev is not.
  19. Dallas is playing the way this team should have. I really don't think Dallas is that much of a better team than ours. Their defense is better, sure, but our offense and goaltending is better in my opinion. Nice to see Dallas willing to trade chances. As you can see, Vegas isn't very good at finishing. Good play along team but they can't hit the net to save their lives. They definitely play the right way though. Dallas is basically using our game 2 strategy and finding lots of success with it. Do the goalies need to be good? Yes. But we had that. What Dallas has that we don't is puck movement and a forecheck.
  20. There's a difference between the defensive style that AV and other defensive coaches implement to what the Canucks did. We literally had no forecheck for 55 minutes of hockey games. It's not like we were playing the trap. We didn't even do that. It looked as if we half-assed a good defensive strategy.
