Seems to me that Abottsford is a waste land, It's a rare occasion when they turn a proospect into a genuine NHL caibre player. If you want these collage kids to improve, please leave them in the NCAA

Now if his name had been Jeff rather thhan Jett he may never have been drafted

I was watching Forsling in the Panther V's the Lightning. Looks very good Gustav Forsling D 71 10 27 37 18 41 Sweden: Linkoping 25

But too get Garlnd we had to take on OEL's terrible contract, your opinion skews the contract

Arturs Silovs stopped 29 of 32 shots in 65 minutes of hockey, then denied four of five Austrian shootout attempts to help Latvia win 4-3 and earn a very important extra point in a fierce battle between two teams that aren’t out of the woods regarding relegation, and aren’t quite ready to give up on their playoff chances either. “For me I was really hope that my team was going to score,” said Silovs. “I knew I could stop them so I was just thinking ‘Guys, score! We’re going to win this!’ I haven’t played the Austrians a lot, I played them back in juniors but not any more. It’s an important win.” The game was witnessed by 8516 spectators, the largest crowd of the tournament so far for a game that doesn’t involve host Finland, mostly due to the large contingent of travelling Latvian fans, which continues to grow by the game.

I assume other clubs scout this prospect camps as likely Vcr scouts other prospect camps

Did he pass the shovel to you by chnace Benning was an unmitigated disaster. Not only did he make some bad decissions but he never learned and repeated them again and again. I feel bad for Rutherford trying to put the club back on the road to success, messed up Cap and no prospects of note ( maybe Rathbone aside )

Andd I had the impression wife likes him at home. Usually wife won't leave mother and husband is second choice

Have you ever noticed N'Eastern Uni has a advertizement on the boards at Rogers, seem pretty tight relationship

Good point Manson is an UFA like Zadorov this summer

All very true, much like the those looking for draft picks all have the expectation all will turn out to be super stars

The best part of JB scouting strength was in 2018 when 6 other teams all passed on Hughes, a huge boost for the Benning/Brackett combo. However the bad part is Canucks will have 5th-most 'dead money' on salary cap in 2022-23 season - Vancouver Is Awesome

How about this little nugget, Vcr is the 5th worse team who are carrying dead Cap space, Some how this doesn't surprise me Canucks will have 5th-most 'dead money' on salary cap in 2022-23 season - Vancouver Is Awesome

Lets not forget Juolevi and Virtanen and trading away two 1st round pick ( which means we currently have nothing in the pipeline, Brilliant

Or Zadorov

The thing that made me stop and think was the complexity of making a trade today with the understandingf all the rules and regs and the after effect. I don't think JB seemed to grasp the full implication of the moves he made. Ruthford has to pick up the pieces.

If Schenn is to pair with Rathbone ( which sounds good to me ) it would mean we have a different RHD for Hughes. Personally I don't see Dermott as an ugrade. Rutherford already stated Rathbone is with the Vcr roster

so on the left side you would have Hughes, OEL, and Hagg? so you trade Rathbone? Personally I see Dermott as a #7 on the roster or maybe Burroughs

This is true the player simply can't process the game at the NHL speed level

Any one interested in the task ahead for Jim Rutheford this is a must read Jim Benning’s contract work will haunt the Canucks for a while - Vancouver Is Awesome

Hagg is a LHD is that what we want ?

Overall I wonder who currently produces the best prospects, CHL, NCAA, NTDP, EU. Say the last 5 yaers. I looked at mynhldraft for this year and considering the NTDP is a small league they sure seem to produce a lot of good players, compared to say the CHL which has a lot of players but almost identical prospects in the1st round. EU produces the most but I counted all the EU countries which is a lot of leagues

I'd say both Gudbransson and Zadarov are Defensive players. I agree they're on a quality team but Manson is playing with Colorado, not exactly bottom of the barrel. I might add Myers is a plus player

Lifes a bitch and then you die

That's a danger signal, the last guy to say that was Brackett and he was fired
