#7 though I thought was intriguing thats the beauty of the draft though. The 2 RHD at 15 and 16 OA pulled out of relative 3rd round obscurity. Logan Mallioux and Alexi Heimosalmi ranked only just shy of Brandt Clarke at 12. This draft is anyone's best guess so it's interesting to see such diversity of opinions.

The Hockey prospect list is very interesting Sabastian Cossa leap frogging Wallstedt into 7th place, Brandt Clarke at 12 oh yess please Luke Hughes at 9 sploosh. From 15th onward things get really interesting. I don't think I agree with much of this list however it does provide quite a few names I hadn't researched at all that may be very intriguing in later rounds. Also I really hope Power goes 1st over all.

Why have a Canucks fan blog if every article you write for the last decade is just $#!TT!NG on the team. -
[Proposal] Nolan Patrick on the move?
hammertime replied to DownUndaCanuck's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I would take a Phlyer on Patrick. Wouldn't be coughing up too much though. Something like Virtanen + Rooster for Patrick + Ghost Bae. Money is a wash Rooster goes to a team where he will get away with his antics. Virtanen does seem like a perfect fit for the fliers. Ghost bae is ED elligible and meets requirements. Patrick I think coming in here with low expectations can really just simplify his game back to basics with the help of Jay Beagle and Bo Horvat there is a possibility we could get his development back on track. As his struggles seem to be with adjustment to pro's than character. He seems on a similar trajectory to Bo Horvat where point totals aren't telling the whole story. Taking the pressure off from being 2nd OA and a change of scenery could be just what he needs. Much of the same can be said of Virtanen. Top 6 expectations are no longer realistic so if you're going to carve out a career in the bottom 6 you're going to have to do it on the other side of the puck. -
[2020-2021] Canucks Prospects Stat Tracker
hammertime replied to Down by the River's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
I feel more so that Power is a higher bust candidate. Edvinsson makes mistakes.... He's also a kid in the SHL. What i like about him is the effort level is really high and his skating for is size is remarkable. -

[Signing] Canucks re-sign Tanner Pearson

He has a NTC not sure I follow? Are you saying even if JB gave him a NMC he could still leave him unprotected. -

[Signing] Capitals re-sign Conor Sheary
hammertime replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
ToooooOOOOOO Beeeeeeeee FaiRRRRRRRRRRR!. Pearson is much better than Beagle Roussel and of course Loui. Sooooooooooooo there's that! At least. -
Would you endorse any GM that didn't endorse his coaching staff publicly? Honestly I don't think Green has lost the room at any point. Last season with a lil luck this team got to the show and did better than anyone expected. He played a role in that. Jim Benning is like yin without a yang you love him for the things he does well but you definitely need another person to do the things he does poorly. JB should never hold a pen again. But that doesn't mean I want him fired.

That's where I think your'e wrong. Jonah's our up coming Brian Bickel. Our PP so desperately lacks a real net front presence. Enter: the Garbajovich!

I dont hate the trade on the basis that Gaud wasnt going to be protected and something is better than nothing. if that nothing ends up being something that becomes an issue however adding Bowey helps that something become nothing . you follow? So if Seattle has to pick from virt Holtby or loui pick your poison not helping a division rival may be worth it. contingent on the something they choose from being nothing.

1st line Nils Pete Boeser Nils is probably our best puck retriever he's money along the wall and has the hands and feistyness to win those battles infront of the net. 2nd Line Pearson Miller Virtanen/Gaud Miller is an alpha male he will hold Virtanen's feet to the fire I'm looking for power and pressure from this line. If Virtanen still doesn't get it slide Gaud in as a playmaker. 3rd line Motte Bo Podkolzin Shut down hard matchups meaningful minutes. 4th line Gadjo Lind Zack/Rous Pestilence get under opponents skin. Extras: Beagle may be on IR to start Loui sent to Kalamazoo Lockwood would like to see him get a shot at some point. Hawerluk He's probably worth another look.

whats the point of drafting well if you road block their chances to earn a roster spot. -

hammertime replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I have done a lot of defending Jim buuuuut seriously I can't even. No hate for TP I thought flipping Gud for him was a great move but he's a place holder 3 years is too long. -
Still don't see why Lysell is consensus ranked so high. To me he's a late 1st early second. I don't have anything particularilly against the kid hes a great prospect but realistically he's 2-3 years away top 6 or bust player I had Nils in my top 20 was poking my jets fan buddy to draft him at 22 was shouting at my tv when he fell to us in the second. I see Lysell as a cut below Nils in his draft year. Tankathelon has us drafting Lysell at 10 for whatever thats worth I put no stok in it of course just a bit of amusement in these dark times but he seems to be consistently ranked way higher than what I have seen from his play. @HighOnHockey I know you're also following this draft class closely do you have him in your top 15?

Man Bo has had tough go the rebuild started with him. This is his team! Heart and soul when the time comes he will lead them to glory! What a playoff performance from him too! Happy B day Cap.
