You are right we should have kept Kelser and signed him to that atrocious contract. Fire Benning Look at that list of players outgoing. So how many of those players are in the NHL right now? How many of those Pics traded panned out? This is beyond moronic. Yes, we gave up Mccann Where would you have him on our depth chart? I like Gaudette and frankly, I think the team likes Gaudette better than Mc Spaghetti arms. Granlund is still a win of a trade any way you slice that trade. Cry me a river over Forsling already..... I think Eddi Lack has a taco truck now. Jason Garrison, the fact JB got a second for that bum is amazing. Hansen Burrows deals were triumphant though they were 2 of my favorite Canucks their time was up. Goldobin is the iron maiden eventually some of those are going to go post and in and if we're being real outside or Pete in a vacuum he is the best playmaker on the team he deserves more leash the Russian treatment in Van is wearing stale. There is literally nothing of value on that out list other than a couple pics. I'm pretty ok with the list when looking at it.

I dont know what to believe here. So many conflicting reports. As far as I'm concerned Dahlen was 21 and not close to being a dominant AHL player chances of him suddenly turning into a top 6 NHL player were low very low. It was time to pull the pin on the fantasy of him ever playing with Pete. A 18 yo kid scouting staff had the hots for last year became available so they bought 3 development years. Forget all the drama. Burr for a 2018 3rd still a win in my books. I think people have too much emotional attachment to the story line of Pete and Dahlen.

Gudbranson NOW officially The WORST PLAYER in the League
hammertime replied to RU SERIOUS's topic in Canucks Talk
I'm a Gud supporter but I gotta say Hutton has been pretty good when not paired with Gud infact the only player on the team Gud has had limited success with is Edler. -
Are you saying Utica is Culling our prospect pool? har har On a more serious note, I think Utica is actually doing a fine job of development. It's not easy to break it to kids who are used to being prolific scorers in JR that when if they break into the NHL they will likely start in the bottom 6 and they must learn to adapt to the responsibilities that accompany that role before they will ever get a sniff in the top 6. Dahlen is a prospect I really liked but the reality was he was never going to be Petes winger when he got a sniff in the NHL friendship aside they are just in a different class. I think they are doing the right things with Lind, Gadjovich, 2 high draft pedigree scoring forwards in JR that need to learn the way to the NHL will be in the trenches. Gaunce was a 1st round pick he's now a prolific shutdown player after his first WJC coached by Sutter he was told by Sutter that he saw him as a very good future 4th line guy. Not what you want to hear when you are a first round pick but Gaunce put his nose to the grindstone. look for him to be a playoff hero for us in the future. Bet you Manny Malhotra believes in him. Juolevi too great strides this year pre-injury. The ones that don't want to learn that they aren't the next NHL superstar and that their road to the NHL will start as a role player. Will get tossed for someone who will. See Shinkaruk and now Dahlen. It's a tough pill to swallow but for every Pete there are 10 other 5th overall picks who never crack the top line. Or top pairing. That we might have 2 in 2 drafts we should thank our lucky stars for our teams scouting dept. Not to mention the role players JB is drafting in the later rounds. Guys like Gaudette, Gunnarsson, Rathbone, Lockwood, Madden, Last but not least maybe littlest Artem Manukian at 5'7" this kid is fast snipes like crazy and is a gamer for a 6th round pick I love it far more than some cheeze burger kids got fire.

Dahlen was my favorite player in the prospects tourney in penticton he gaver every shift that being said I would have liked to see him producing more in the A his transition to NA has been difficult. I have to believe that mgmt didn't ever see him transitioning to EPs wing or they wouldn't hve traded his best bud. I Like having more C prospects cant have too many C's honestly Karlsson seems like a great prospect I dont hate the trade I'm not on board yet but he is younger than Dahlen and has more room to grow Dahlen should have shown more in the A by now. Hunter Shinkaruk was soon a time my favorite player in the prospect tournament and he anointed to nothing so I'll put my faith in JB as he does his due diligence on prospects.

I was personally very upset about the Sergi Shirokov defection to Moscow. Mike Duco was like a single sheet of 1 ply with which to blow my nose.
-
so should I drop Nylander already from my hockey pool or keep him in hopes that he heats up white hot to end the season? I need goals Hertl, Tatar and E Kane are available. Who do I pick up?
-
EP is great and all down the line could be a great assistant Bo is the Captain he takes the hardest minutes.
-
I would like to see a guy added who will cross the line when lines have been crossed with our players. A mad dog who will take a penalty to break a guys nose and let em know all game long I'm coming for you I'm coming for you I didn't like that last play on Stetcher, Baertschi etc and before you leave here tonight you are gonna have a broken nose. Come across the middle and take a phone call from DOPS.

Bock 7m x6 EP 9m x6 Edler 5m x 4 retirement package Goldy 2.5 x2 or let walk Granlund re up B hutt 3m x 3 Levio 2 x 2 Motte 1.25 x 2

I don't disagree however for me its top 4 or bust. I like Jack, Kakko, Cousins, Dach. After that at 5 or 6 I'd prefer to trade down as in the rest of the field of top 40 picks the guys I like are all in the 15-40 range 2 of Nolan Foote, Suzuki, Morits Sieder, Krebs, Korkzac, I would value higher than pick 5 or 6.

I thought this was pretty interesting after EP was drafted he sat at the Canucks table for the rest of their picks and asked about all the players they were drafting.
-
Kinda tru deau.
-
Thank you for clearing that up.
-
I'm no pro scout and I am in no way saying he won't make the NHL but when I watch him play I'm not seeing a player who looks close.
-
I dono I think it's pretty consistent.
-
not saying I'm against the move I'm just saying Utica could you know use a mentor he is very well liked around the hockey world. Why on earth would they play him at wing when they could put Dahlen Lind on his wings to learn things.

I didn't realize Darcy was a prospect?

I'm split on this on the one hand I am happy for Gagner that JB did right by him and made the honorable move. On the other hand I want the comets to win the Calder and Gagner would be a huge boost to their roster.
