He's right around that spot in most ratings. Lots of guys rated about equally so it's more about what type of player you want. As long as we don't take Harley, who makes Morgan Reilly look competent in his own zone, I'm fine with whoever we pick.
Problem is by the time Ottawa gets enough prospects to have an NHL team, Tkachuk will be a UFA. Doesn't matter how good they are at rebuilding when their owner is too cheap to even care about winning.
I haven't seen any of this class play a ton. Looks super strong on his skates with good hockey sense from what I can tell from this game, with a nice bit of a mean streak.
Holy crap Dach is just dominating at both ends of the ice. Wouldn't mind moving up a bit to make sure we get him, which wouldn't cost nearly as much as the top 3.
You don't hire a GM with a scouting background so he can get the 1OA right. This is Benning's biggest strength and I'm confident he'll nail the pick. Watching the WHL game though, Dach sure would look good here making room for EP.
Sutherland's continued employment.
DPS not conducting themselves professionally
Peel getting to work a Canucks game directly after rigging the last one
Campbell's continued employment despite emails indicating their was an issue regarding officiating and nepotism
Allowing Brian Burke to weigh in on the Rome suspension despite obvious conflict of interest
Fining Burrows for substantiated remarks about Auger
I'm saying that the NHL has an open history of not making integrity a priority and it is naive to expect them to voluntarily clean up their act. I simply don't trust these scumbags to conduct themselves as professionals and Bettman has no one to blame no one but himself to blame due to the league.'s continued misconduct Money talks and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Bettman advised the team's reps that they would get problem officials assigned to their games if they didn't keep their mouths shut.
I can't wait until we get a whistleblower and the NHL gets exposed for the corrupt organization that it is.
Do you think the NHL's track record suggests this process is being conducted honestly? This is the same criminal organization that sees fit to permit Kelly Sutherland to openly rig playoff games and put Colin Campbell in a position where there was a clear and obvious conflict of interest.
Unfortunately we have to wait until Bettman quits or stops wasting oxygen before we have any hope at an honest league. Canuck fans should not make this criminal piece of garbage feel safe for a single moment he is in Vancouver.
