I have unfortunately scored again on my list. Ex Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke passed away yesterday. Most of you probably have no idea who this man was, but I'd like to take a moment to paint a picture. Bob Hawke Prime Minister of Australia 1983-1991. He is possibly the most loved Prime Minister this country has had since WW2. But my fondest memory and the reason I think he is a legend is Former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke was previously the world record holder for the fastest drinking of a yard of beer, when he downed a sconce pot in eleven seconds as part of a traditional Oxford college penalty. Now I have drunk one of these things and it took me about 5 minutes or so....but 11 seconds is freakin outrageous!!!! RIP Bob Hawke you legend!

Awful news for the hockey community and heartbreaking for his friends and family who love him the most. 48 is WAY too young! I try to live my life to its fullest everyday. Have no fear, embrace change and chase your dreams because life is very short. Far too short to be wasting even a precious second. Smile more Love more Try new things more One day you can be king of the world and the next day gone.... RIP Mr Botchford, I did not know you but my heart is still saddened by your passing

Thanks SID for explaining that. I had to read it twice as I got a brain cramp the first time.

My picks and I seem to have a few threads that I created around this. I usually did one right after the draft each year. I checked them and these were the picks I wanted at the time 2014- Ehlers and Demko 2015 - Rasmus Anderssen 2016 - Olli Julevi 2017 - Cody Glass 2018 - Hughes I think Benning and Brackett have done a much better job than I would have. When you go deeper into the rounds of each draft, its where they really show how its done.

Be careful people, we definitely do not want the system to change now. The Canucks could very well be one of those teams that just misses out on the playoffs next year, and from what ive seen of the prospects next year Alexis Lafreniere and Quentin Byfield look bloody amazing. The Canucks do not want to miss out on an opportunity to draft either of them if they unfortunately do not make the playoffs. The Canucks have been shafted every draft in recent history (although both JB's have done very well with their selections) could you imagine if they changed the rules again and the Canucks finished just outside the playoffs and had no chance to move up to 1st overall. I think that may just tip some of us over the edge.

2019 NHL Draft Lottery | April 9th, 5:00pm PT

I can understand that we are all P***ed off about getting screwed yet again, but its what makes us bleed Blue and Green. The Canucks and us fans have been getting it in the rear end from day dot. Its going to make hoisting the Stanley Cup so much better. We can hold the cup in one hand and give the finger to everyone else with our other! We can say "we got shafted at every every turn by the league, by the officials by the ever changing lottery rules but we stuck together and won this by our own shear hard work and determination. Thank you all for nothing!" It will be won by a team that had no leg ups or helping hands, one created by good management, good team work and Blue and Green pride! No gifted 1st overalls or expansion draft shopping adventures. It will happen and I will be there bending over Scottish style telling the rest of the league to kiss my hairy A**. -

What do you think Toronto would stump up if you offered to take Horton and his 5+ M cap hit? Could you get their 1st +++ ? Its only for another year which the Canucks could handle and it allows the leafs to do something with Marner. Would the leafs do Sandin and their first to clear Horton? Edit just realised they dont have a first this year, maybe next years first? Doesnt really help the Canucks immediately -

What are you offering yourself? -
[GDT] Nucks @ Blues -- 1PM -- 06/04/19 -- A New New Hope

Its not really even a contest. His hat wins hands down. It looks awesome. Would love to be sporting one of those down here in Australia -
I think you are pretty spot on there Retro. I had a look at Capfriendly today and came up with a list nearly identical to this. I imagine that 80% of this list will be gone by this time next year; Either let go, traded for picks or prospects or involved in package deals. Pouliot is an odd one, he could probably be traded for something but you just cant offer him a new contract. Someone more clever than I could create some package to wrap up Eriksson and deliver him to another team ( heres hoping). Granlund, Goldobin, Schaller and Spooner must all be worth something in a trade. Hutton, Sutter and Tanev offer a whole lot of opportunity to Benning in a deal scenario.

The Sabres are elite level tank commanders currently. Its appalling they could get 1st overall last year and perform so well for a major portion of the season and then mail it in for the last month. Seriously they are not even trying out there. Its flat out embarrassing the display on the ice. -
Yep he is a good one. I took a look at his stats throughout his playing career. There is no way you can put up points at every level and then just fall off a cliff. I have a feeling he will work it out over the off season, come back with a mans physique and really show everyone next year. He definitely has the tools, he just needs to figure out how to use them at this level. It will be exciting once he does, some more firepower for the Canucks. I tell you then next 5 years are going to be fun to watch, these kids are going to light it up and make hockey fun again.

You are spot on here. The scouting and prospect list is so much stronger these days, we passed on Carl Neill and now Brassard who both seem better prospects than Mackenzie Stewart who got a contract a few years back. Its a good sign overall for the team moving forward, I hope to see in the future even better prospects not given a contract as the Canucks prospects cupboards become even better stocked.

I really like the prospect of getting Caufield. I know he is tiny but you cant deny he has the ability to put up points. At every level he has scored goals, lots and lots of goals. When a kid can score lots and lots of goals its in built, they have a good release and just know how to get into the scoring areas. J Gaudreau and Alex DeBrincat are both tiny guys that put up points at every level. Not selected early in their draft years because they were too small. They look like stellar picks now! Caufield looks to be of a similar mold. The Canucks really could use more scoring -
It will be interesting to see what the Leafs can do with the Horton contract next year. Thats $5.3M in cap space they must offload to sign any of their expiring current players ( G Sparks, J Gardiner, A Johnsson, K Kapanen, M Marner, A Mathews) Then they still require a few more bodies on cheap deals. They no longer have this years 1st to make it enticing and from what I can see they have J Bracco, C Rosen, and maybe T Liljegren and D Timoshov as players and maybe R Sandin as a future prospect. They are going to have to get creative as they cant all fit in under the cap.
